OKC Thunder Moving Kemba Walker Again

Last week, the Oklahoma City have traded Al Horford, Moses Brown and a 2023 second-round pick to the Celtics in exchange for Kemba Walker, the No. 16 overall pick in the 2021 draft and a 2025 second-round pick.

Walker averaged 19.3 points, 4.9 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals on 43 ganes for the Celtics during the regular season. The former U-Conn product struggled to remain healthy, missing the final two playoff games between the Nets and Celtics. In two years with the Celtics, he just played 99 out of 144 regular season games.

Sam Presti is intrigued with the idea of playing Kemba Walker and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander together. But SGA has been playing the point guard position since Chris Paul and Dennis Schroder left the OKC.

If the Thunder will trade the 9th pick in 2011 NBA draft, the OKC GM would love to get another first round pick, which what they are doing for the past few years.


According Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. The 6'0 guard is expected to have a short tenure with the Thunder, but it's unclear whether he will be traded before, during or after the season.

No suitors hasn't surfaced yet following his arrival to the Thunder but Bleacher Report suggested a trade that would send Walker to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis.
