The Celtics are trading Kemba Walker, the No. 16 overall pick in the 2021 draft and a 2025 second-round draft pick to Oklahoma City for Al Horford, Moses Brown and a 2023 second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

I’m good with it.  I miss Horford, and Marcus can run point.

I’m curious about Moses Brown.  He put up some crazy numbers at times.

I feel like this means that TT is definitely getting moved, as well.

Also means that they don't have to feel as much pressure to re-sign / extend Rob if the money isn't right.

Pritchard looked great at the end of the season but we need PG insurance. I like Yams game too

Losing 16 hurts but it had to happen. This is actually a great trade, and Moses Brown is an underrated piece.

I think he put up a 20/20 game against us this year.

I love Kemba and didn't want to trade him. I think this is as about the best package we could've gotten.

We don't need a 1st this year, too many young guys. Moses Brown really fits a need Boston has. Al can be a playmaking presence, and we free up some money for next year. Love it!

Not very happy and intrigued about the so soon decision.

I liked big Al, he may be a good option with Timelord unhealthy. But I don't understand why we couldn't wait... First we don't have the coach advice and mostly Horford probably wouldn't have been traded for a while, so we could wait for better options for Kemba (like dumping all his salary for youth and create room to sign a better FA contract... We take almost a discount of 10 milion each of the next two years. May be the occasion to resign Fournier. But personally I wanted a biggest shake up; now we are done for changes, only minor signings (or maybe a lower TPE instead of Fournier). Not very happy about that.

Whaterver, the rumors were probably true, even if most here didn't believe Kemba was a real question for this team. The first Stevens decision is judging very bad the last Ainge's choice : we give assets to sign a 2 years older Horford, what we didn't want, just to take the contract of Ainge last big signing. Really thought Walker wasn't seen so baddly? Maybe they were better to do in waiting a little. I still prefer it at the Porzingis as his contract is lower and 1 year less, still giving option for 2023 FA.

Our defense will get better, but our ballhandling and creation is frightnening. Smart/Pritchard as our only PG's is really weak, esp with their style of game.
