The deal sending Walker to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for former Celtic Al Horford and Moses Brown with draft assets headed in both directions was announced in the release detailing the first major move of Brad Stevens in his role as President of Basketball Operations for the storied franchise. Widely hailed as a positive move for not only Stevens but the Thunder as well, it seems Stevens is off to a positive start as team president.
