Welcome to OKC, Kemba! @KembaWalker| #ThunderUp

So this means Brad Stevens 1st move in office, after coaching Kemba, was to immediately get him tf out 😂😂

Kemba isn't playing a second for OKC.

The Thunder turned Danny Green, Terrance Ferguson, Vincent Poirier, Moses Brown, 2023 2nd-Round Pick into — Kemba Walker, Theo Maledon, Vasilije Micic, 2021 1st-Round Pick, 2025 1st-Round Pick, 2025 2nd-Round Pick

Kemba Walker is headed to the Oklahoma City Thunder, per @wojespn From B/R x @AmericanExpress

"If I'm the Lakers, I'd go after Kemba Walker. Kuzma looks like he's on his way out." - @MarcJSpears (Via @NBATheJump ) https://t.co/gG3WT60xHa

Kemba Walker is heading to the OKC Thunder.

Okay Brad Stevens!!! I love that trade because Kemba was in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown way. Carry the hell on...

Kemba just got traded for a industrialist 💀💀

.@MarcJSpears thinks the Lakers should try to acquire Kemba Walker from the Thunder 👀

The Kemba Walker era in Boston was less successful than the Kyrie Irving era.

Kemba Walker before getting traded vs. Kemba Walker after getting traded. https://t.co/CDCgscONxF

now that Kemba is no longer on the Celtics, NBA fans will start to like him and call him underrated again lol

There is no way Kemba was this bad 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/fwULwA1Jpn

Lakers fans y’all don’t want Kemba trust me 😂😂😂

New ESPN story with @wojespn: Brad Stevens didn’t take long to make his first move as Boston’s president of basketball operations — and it’s a seismic one. https://t.co/POq9BxH4Ur

Any Celtics fan with contempt for Kemba is a grade A loser. Gave you a great first half of the season in his first year before an unlucky knee injury then was more than willing to take a backseat to the Jays which helped them develop. I’ll be rooting for him forever

First Horford, now Kemba: We’re going to brand this move — absorb a bad contract, rehabilitate the player and then move him for another distressed contract and a first round pick — the Sam Presti. As one exec texted, a Kemba-for-Porzingis swap next year seems inevitable.

"When Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are healthy, they're arguably a top-five, if not a top-three, duo in the NBA! ... [the Boston Celtics] might be the top team in the Eastern Conference come next year." @KendrickPerkins likes the Kemba Walker trade for Boston.

My reaction to the Kemba Walker trade

Some things I'm hearing in the aftermath of the Kemba deal: -Cs feel better about their chances of re-signing Fournier now -This doesn't necessarily mean Tristan Thompson's time in Boston is over -Moses Brown was mostly added as a salary match but will get a look

Jayson Tatum pretending to be sad Kemba got traded:

Stevens got the job as GM and traded Kemba instantly never doubt this nigga will to win

Getting the 16th pick for Horford is robbery. Even if they aren’t able to flip Kemba for anything (and I wouldn’t rule that out), this is an outrageous deal for the Thunder

Boston really traded a washed Kemba Walker for an even more washed and old Al Horford https://t.co/91C700R2xH

Kemba’s gonna put up 25 PPG in the regular season and everyone is gonna meltdown “WHY DID WE TRADE HIM” then when he gets flipped to the Sixers and goes 4-18 in three playoff games again everyone will go “oh yeah”

remember when everyone said OKC should waive & stretch Carmelo Anthony? they turned melo into: ‘20 1st (used to get Poku) ‘21 16th pick ‘25 protected 1st ‘20 2nd (Théo Maledon) ‘25 2nd EuroLeague MVP Vasilije Micic Kemba Walker The devil works hard but Sam Presti works harder. https://t.co/8qJjSynyWA
