Celtics trade Kemba Walker to Thunder

Brad Stevens’ first move in the Boston Celtics’ front office is a big one!

The team announced that they have dealt All-Star point guard Kemba Walker, the 16th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, and a 2025 second rounder in exchange for veteran Al Horford, center Moses Brown and a second round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.

The Celtics gain a lot of financial flexibility this offseason by moving Walker and the two years and $73 million left on his contract.

Meanwhile the rebuilding Thunder get yet another first round pick to add to their endless collection of draft picks. They now have three first rounders in the 2021 NBA Draft.
