Welcome to our channel.
The topic we'll be discussing today is three trade packages
the Lakers could offer for Kemba Walker.
But before we start, subscribe to our channel and
don't miss any update. Kemba Walker is indeed one
of the better point guards of this generation of
NBA players. When it comes down to it,
after a few seasons with the Boston Celtics, the fit
simply was not there, from being a third fiddle to Jason Tatum
and Jalen Brown having knee injuries
and a really big contract.
Now, what the Celtics can do is going forward under new management with
Brad Stevens and now has Kemba Walker.
The Boston Celtics decided to mutually split ways and request
to train this NBA offseason.
To be accurate, it is confirmed by multiple sources that Kemba Walker
and the boss of Celtics are agreeing to part ways this NBA offseason.
Kemba Walker, just like his
skill set, does not really sit well with the Boston Celtics.
Though he's definitely more of
a bucket-cutting type of point guard,
he has shown on the Charlotte Hornets for many seasons.
Talking about the transfer,
the Boston Celtics started the NBA offseason by trading to Oklahoma
City Thunder without wasting time offloading Kemba Walker
this offseason, whereas Boston
was able to win Al Horford, Moses Brown,
and a future sound round pick in exchange for
a 2021 first-round pick and a future second-round pick.
In my opinion, seeing Thunder not competing
in the Western Conference,
Walker and Oklahoma City were able to plan for him to trade again
this summer, as it's hard to imagine what would happen,
but the Los Angeles Lakers
were able to show an interest in Walker's
and this will definitely prove to be beneficial.
Some of you might not know this,
but Kemba Walker has been hampered by injuries in recent seasons,
which has diminished his play on the court.
He's not being able to manage on and off the court.
Don't get me wrong, he's still a solid starter for the NBA
but it's not worth more than $30 million a year.
And that's a fact.
I mean, who would spend a lot on a player like Kemba Walker
who spends most of the time being injured?
While talking about the veteran guards,
it will be difficult to move due to their expensive contracts
and the pain of recent injuries.
But some teams may still consider Kemba Walker
a valuable piece on the roster.
Moreover, the Lakers are looking for a new point guard
this offseason, and walkers will
surely be available to anyone interested.
Here arises the question,
can Los Angeles trigger four All-Stars in the coming months?
Although unlikely, there are several trade packages
that the Lakers can put together
to land walkers from Thunder this offseason.
OKC Thunder receive F. Kyle Kuzma C. Montreal Harrell
20-25 Round 1 Pick
The Lakers' goal for this offseason is to find
a third option that works well with LeBron
James and Anthony Davis.
Well, in all possibilities,
Walker's contract and injury concerns will prevent Los Angeles
from pursuing a deal with experienced security guards.
But in the scenario where the Lakers want Walker,
Kyle Kuzma is included in most fictitious
trade packages.
Sounds interesting, isn't it?
Speaking about Kuzma, the player has signed
a three-year extension with Los Angeles during
the final offseason, starting 2021-22.
Utah products earned $13 million annually
and helped get Walker's large contracts
or deals.
Looking at all viewpoints,
the Lakers will be able to add Montelisle Harrell this summer
with a sign-and-trade.
Sign-and-trade where Harrell has
a player option to make the trade successful.
Well, it all depends on the officials and their preferences.
We all know the conditions occurred in Oklahoma City.
There aren't many Oklahoma City offerings
in Los Angeles like how it used to be, but
getting Kuzma and Harrell isn't terrible.
To me, it seems like a perfect go-to deal.
However, we call how much Sam Presti loves his first-round picks.
Besides, Thunder knows
that Kemba Walker's is not very valuable in the trade market,
so they will likely accept
this trade. The only concern
is that Lakers aren't interested in the idea of adding
a walker first. What they are planning is all planned
and stored in their head. What
the decision would be would surely help
the Lakers get from their best team with Lebron
James and Anthony Davis in the team.
Thunder receive G. Dennis Schroeder, C. Montrell Harrell
and 2026 first round pick.
Kemba Walker can't trade with Thunder's first eye which was
raised on July 7th which was traded fast
and is patient and with getting a walker. Whereas
in addition to Kemba Walker, in this scenario,
Los Angeles chooses to get Kemba Walker and
Kenrich Williams from the Thunder.
Williams plays a solid role in bringing diversity to
the Lakers as he can play a variety of roles
and benefit the whole team. Whereas the Lakers,
on the other hand, will have to be creative
in moving Dennis Schroeder and Harrell in
sign and trade. That said,
it's unclear if Schroeder is happy to return to Thunder
or if Oklahoma City wants him to return.
Speaking facts, as long as he receives the
contracts he's looking for,
I'm not sure if Schroder really likes where to play next season.
It can be said that Kemba Walker's deal may
not be successful unless Presti adds it to its vast
collection of draft topics.
By that, I mean that the Lakers will throw a pick for the first round
of the future to complete the deal.
Resulting in the action, this can cause this off-season,
but likely if Los Angeles isn't interested in keeping Schroder
and they believe that Kemba
walkers could be the answer to their problem hence there
is no trade scenario okay see thunder receive
g dennis schroeder f kyle kuzma
and 2026 first round pick in my opinion instead of recontracting
montreal harrell the lakers could insert kyle kuzma
to the same contract including dennis schroeder
which would possibly get him a good deal
and at the very least los angeles is ready to launch a
new extension next season yes they're actually planning for it
so they don't have to complete
a sign and trade with Kuzma.
With the addition of Kuzma to the trade instead of Harrell,
the Lakers were able to get a little more reward except Kemba Walker.
As of now, Lugins could be a target for Los Angeles
but Oklahoma City could see him as
a long-term player on the franchise.
Well, he does hold that much potential so I do agree
with the Oklahoma City's thoughts,
while Darius Buzley may have a similar view but
is more likely to be traded than Deruto.
Undoubtedly, Busley gave the Lakers a backup
behind James and Davis,
and at some point a development player who could evolve into
a formidable starter.
Coming to the point, Kemba Walker's deal may not be accepted
unless the Lakers send a first-round pick
with Kuzma as part of the deal. Because this
is how it goes, again,
Thunder was able to welcome Schroeder as a mentor in the off-season
and Shai Gilgis Alexander, who has evolved into a star player.
Again, it all depends on the
officials now. However,
Kuzma could reach his potential as a player by replacing Buzzley
on the frontcourt and expanding his role in the team.
We hope Kuzma does that and fortunately
gets his place. In conclusion,
Kemba Walker and the Celtics will find a beneficial offering trade
destination for both sides. This was all about it.
