Celtics dump Kemba Walker contract, get back Al Horford

Kemba Walker Celtics

The Kemba Walker experiment is over in Boston. The Celtics thought that he could be part of a big three with Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown but it didn’t work out. Now they had to dump his huge contract, and new GM Brad Stevens didn’t waste any time.

The Celtics traded Walker and their 2021 first-round pick (No. 16 overall) to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a package that includes Al Horford, Moses Brown and a 2023 second-rounder according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Thunder love accumulating draft picks, and now they get another first-rounder to assume Walker’s contract. He could be traded as well.

Horford has been a mess since leaving Boston so he’s probably happy to return.
