Brad Stevens made his first major move as an executive this week, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday morning that the Celtics are sending Kemba Walker, a 2021 first-rounder (pick No. 16) and a 2025 second-rounder to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Al Horford, Moses Brown and a 2023 second-rounder.
