The transaction wheel in the NBA never stops landing on something significant, and once again the Boston Celtics are shaking things up as the Oklahoma City Thunder acquire more first-round picks. Friday morning, the Celtics reportedly traded Kemba Walker, the 16th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, and a 2025 second-round pick to the Thunder in exchange for Al Horford, Moses Brown, and a 2023 second-round pick.
ESPN was first to report this trade, which The Athletic has confirmed.
The Celtics were hoping to move Walker this summer, after unsuccessfully doing so last truncated offseason. With Brad Stevens now at the helm in the front office, this was his first trade.
