The Celtics are trading Kemba Walker and their 2021 first-rounder to the Thunder for a package that includes Al Horford, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Oklahoma City will receive the No. 16 overall pick and a 2025 second-round pick in addition to Walker. Boston will receive big man Moses Brown and a 2023 second-rounder in addition to Horford.
Boston gets financial flexibility, getting out of the roughly $73M owed Walker, as Woj notes. OKC is expected to work with the point guard on what’s next for him, just as they did with Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul.
