Kemba Walker, Pistons Expected To Reach Agreement On Buyout

The Pistons are expected to buy out the contract of veteran point guard Kemba Walker following a trade with the Knicks, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Walker, 31, was actually part of a three-team deal that also involved the Hornets and No. 13 overall pick Jalen Duren, a center from Memphis.

Walker is likely to draw interest from multiple contenders, or perhaps even the Hornets, as a free agent.

He averaged 13.7 points in 37 games last season, though the Knicks shut him down at the end of the year.
