Who knows. Maybe they are waiting for the right franchise player to become available in the draft or trade and offer a bundle of picks that another team can't refuse.

They could also make a bundle selling draft picks.

Yup, Boston sent him and their 1st (16 overall, I think) for Horford. There was a youngster or two involved also but they were throw ins.
OKC will get another first out of Kemba from someone, I'm sure. I think he has more value than Horford but apparently Boston wanted to move him asap.

Wow. Kemba not worth much. Horford is a shadow. They had to dump a pick just to trade him.
