After handing Kemba Walker $141 million in the summer of 2019, the Boston Celtics have come to realize that they may have given superstar money to their third (and sometimes fourth) option in the offense.
Now granted, Walker can still be a superstar as the robin to the “Jays'” batman. There’s no shame in being the Chris Bosh or Kevin Love of a championship trio.
Is this a championship trio, though?
That is a question that will likely be answered by Walker’s performance in 2020-21. If he can continue to serve a role in the background and the team can win games at a healthy clip, then that’s a well-spent $34 million this season.
