    Are the Celtics cryptonite for high volume scoring guards?

    Kemba Walker, Celtics Motivated To Part Ways In Offseason

    The Boston Celtics and Kemba Walker are likely to move forward with a trade scenario this offseason, sources tell Bleacher Report.

    While Walker has two more seasons remaining on his contract at $36 million and $37.7 million and will make any trade difficult, both sides are motivated to get a deal done. Boston tried to trade Walker before the season started in a package for Jrue Holiday. Sources tell Bleacher Report that Walker was hurt by the efforts made by the Celtics to try to trade him.

    Sources tell Bleacher Report that teams looking for a veteran scoring point guard will monitor Walker's situation.

    The New York Knicks previously had interest in Walker when he was a free agent and have a need at point guard along with cap space. The Dallas Mavericks are another team who could have interest.

    The point guard market this offseason will be one of the more interesting to monitor as Kyle Lowry, Dennis Schroder and Mike Conley will also be free agents.

    Please please please take Wall! We'll throw in our 1st round pick in 2038 when they get out of their high chair. :)

    I'd add maybe a really late 2nd to swap Kemba for Wall. If they're interested and can find a way to take Gordon as well go ahead and take him. Kemba is supposedly one of the nicest guys in the league and would be a great mentor to the youngins. Also, I doubt he plays more than 20 games a year so he wouldn't get in the way like Wall would.

    Why are we excited to have a Kemba for Wall swap? Seems very lateral to me. Both are useless to this team.

    Why Kemba? Cap room, an asset and possibly fit? I say fit because if Cade is who we get, Kemba is more of a finisher type.

    I wouldn’t trade for him without a first or two high 2nds though. Wall is better on defense.

    Clutchfans would be excited if we could trade Wall for Chris Chiozza making $40M/year.

    They just want to see moves for the sake of moves.

    I don't really care if Wall stays or goes as long as we don't burn any draft capital to do it. If we are able to move him, hopefully it's for our team to get younger or for multiple smaller pieces.

    Wanting to trade your bad contract for someone else's bad contract seems to be human nature. People seem to think anything could be better than their player they watch daily. I am pretty sure clutchfans was excited about moving Westbrook for Wall when it happened too. I am not a fan of Westbrook at all, but him stat padding in DC and getting to the playoffs likely made him worth more than he was a year ago. When the other teams fanbase is extremely excited to see a player leave, it usually is not a good sign, that is what I saw with Wall and what I am seeing with Kemba.

    Rafael
    Rafael Stone needs to find another Kelly Olynek. With John Wall, Eric Gordon, Danuel House as trade baits

    On some of Boston's podcasts. few seem open to Wall. But one attraction is that Wall is one year less.

    One of the other random proposal involving Rockets was:

    Eric Gordon (16.8m 4 yrs)
    DJ Augustin (6.6m 3 yrs) <<- can contribute
    Avery Bradley (5.6m 2 yrs) <<- former celtic, still well liked over there. Bradley picking up his option.
    ---
    Kemba Walker (34.3m 4 yrs)​

    That deal makes little sense for the Rockets, since we're trying to go young, shed salary, still loaded in guards positions. Plus, a team with both Wall and Kemba as contracts is just too inflexible.
