2. Westbrook and Walker would be quite the combo.

Imagine a world where the Boston Celtics have both Russell Westbrook and Kemba Walker. Sounds pretty awesome to me.

Now I can’t imagine the Celtics moving on from Kemba Walker so quickly. He actually seems like he fits in with the Celtics unlike a certain point guard.

So that means that Walker and Westbrook would have to work together. With his size and physicality, Westbrook could definitely move to shooting guard. These guys are both ball dominant point guards so it would be interesting to see how they work together.

In the end what harm could it do? Adding two of the NBA’s best guards to your roster can only have a positive impact. Also after being members of losing franchises these guys are hungry to win. I think a duo of Westbrook and Walker would make the Celtics immediate contenders.

Boston may just have another big 3 after all.
