I've got to admit, I'm sucker for shit like this, and I don't just mean the overall soap opera status of the NBA and all the social media shenanigans that come with it, but rather the preposterous playing of dumb that typically follows. Now, to be clear, no one conclusively knows what Terry Rozier was actually referring to with that vague tweet that, objectively speaking, couldn't possibly be more relevant to his increasingly combustable working conditions. However, for a professional athlete who...::checks notes::...wasn't talking about himself when thinking "out loud" on his own personal and public page to a fanatical following to act like we're the ones who be playing too much on our phones is comical. Going the cryptic route is on-brand for 'Scary Terry', but - much to his dismay - when it comes to mysterious internet usage his core audience is more "birth-right" than "born yesterday". People have been talking about how the Celtics were too deep with talent to not make a trade since well before the season started, and an underwhelming start to said season hasn't exactly put that elephant in the locker room on a weight loss plan. Yet, the person who appeared to be talking about said elephant behind its back without mentioning it by name thinks his target demographic has "happy feet", as if his itchy twitter fingers weren't completely complicit in pulling the strings to make those with a vested interest in the NBA dance...
Again, I'm not definitively saying that Terry Rozier passive aggressively demanded a trade on twitter, but I am saying that all that suspicious stream of consciousness was missing was a laughably unbelievable excuse that can be used as a punchline if/when (more "when" than "if") he gets moved...
