The Boston Celtics move off the promising big man.
Getty Kemba Walker #8 of the Boston Celtics dribbles during the first half of Game Two of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets. When the Boston Celtics pulled the trigger on the Kemba Walker trade back in June, they received two big men in return.

The other, Moses Brown, a rather unproven commodity, but one oozing with loads of potential packed into a 7-foot-2-inch frame. No one expected the 21-year-old native New Yorker to challenge Horford or Robert Williams for minutes in the frontcourt from the jump.

Little did we know, Brown would soon follow Thompson out the door. The latest Celtics news straight to your inbox! Join the Heavy on Celtics newsletter here! Join Heavy on Celtics!
