Hornets’ Cody Zeller reveals funny pitch to keep Kemba Walker in Charlotte
Cody Zeller is trying his best to keep Kemba Walker in Charlotte … 25 cents at a time.
On Friday, the Hornets big revealed his funny, tongue-in-cheek campaign to convince Walker to stay — selling lemonade on a local street in the hopes of raising the $221 million necessary to offer Walker a full max contract.

Zeller and Walker have been teammates ever since the former was drafted by Charlotte in 2013, a span of six seasons with two total playoff berths.
Hornets fans will like what Walker had to say about his free agency in a recent interview, so the team may already have a strong chance of retaining the three-time All-Star’s services, lemonade notwithstanding.
