While there are some in the wider Boston Celtics and NBA media communities who believe that Celtics starting point guard Kemba Walker is playing on a negative value contract at $36 million this season and $37.6 million in 2021-22, not everyone agrees that it will be hard to deal the UConn product.
Among them, The Athletic’s David Aldridge, who made a recent guest appearance on the CLNS Media podcast “Celtics Beat” to talk the torrid start to Boston’s offseason after a disappointing 2020-21 campaign. Speaking with hosts Adam Kaufmann and Evan Valenti, the trio had plenty to say about Walker’s future with the team — as well as how it could end.
“I don’t think it’ll be hard trading Kemba Walker,” began Aldridge, clearly not buying into the distressed assets narrative swirling about the New York guard.
