The Charlotte Bobcats will forever remain in NBA folklore as one of the league’s worst teams. During their short existence (from 2004-14), they finished better than .500 twice and have the dubious dishonor of having the worst single-season winning percentage (.106) in league history.

But things are about to change in Charlotte.

After making their second playoff appearance last season, the newly renamed Hornets look to be on an upward trend. With head coach Steve Clifford at the reins, the Hornets are a promising team in and may even be primed to finish top four in the Eastern Conference.

However, a big decision looms before them: the contract extension of Kemba Walker.

Walker is set to be a free agent after the 2014-15 season, and as one of the biggest assets of the team, the Hornets will surely want to sign him up to an extension as soon as possible. Both parties will have until 31st October to agree to an extension, or else it’ll be up to Walker and the Hornets to navigate the murky waters of free agency.

So, how much should the Hornets offer Walker?
