The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired another former All-Star in hopes of revitalizing his trade value and gaining more assets in the near future.
OKC received Kemba Walker, a first-round pick and a second-round pick from the Boston Celtics in exchange Al Horford — who was a successful renovation project — Moses Brown and a second-round pick.
But Walker’s situation in Oklahoma City is different than that of Horford or Chris Paul. Both Paul and Horford filled positions of need for the Thunder; Walker would cut into minutes of young guards who the team already likes and potentially the Thunder’s 2021 draft pick(s).
How will the Thunder go about figuring out his spot in the rotation? There are a few different routes they could take, and the Oklahoma City front office has given examples with several veterans over the last two years.
