It’s probably nothing, right? Right before the trade deadline, the NBA gets silly online.
On Friday morning, a day after Boston faced Kemba Walker in Dallas, the Mavericks waived the former Celtic and Jayson Tatum quote tweeted this with the transaction news:
Eye emoji, clover, clover. Internet sleuths, start sleuthing.
Walker spent two seasons in Boston. He was an All-Star starter in Year One of effectively being the Kyrie Irving replacement. The Celtics would eventually lose in the Eastern Conference Finals in the Orlando bubble. His second season was a little rockier; Walker only played 43 regular season games with a balky knee and later that offseason, he was dealt to Oklahoma City for Al Horford.
