Newly ensconced as President of Basketball Operations, Brad Stevens wasted little time in working the phones with Oklahoma City, and thereby dumping Kemba Walker.
The Thunder get:
-Kemba Walker: nearly 32 years old, just finished 9th season in NBA, 14 career playoff wins (none against the Cavs), due $36,016,200 in 2021-22 and has player option for $37,653,300 in 2022-23.
I'm baffled by this "Kemba is done" stuff. Dude played 50 games in the meatgrinder season, averaged 19/4/5 in 32 minutes, had an EPM of +2.7. Plus with so many teams having cap room this summer, I bet OKC flips him for an asset before Sept.
