Nothing is official yet. That can't happen at least until 6:00 PM ET tomorrow when free agency commences. What I originally viewed as a smoke screen may actually have some flames in it. When I hear something by ESPN's Jackie MacMullan, I take notice. On her appearance on Brian Windhorst's Hoop Collective podcast, Jackie Mac indicated that a deal sending Kemba Walker to Boston may be close to being finished.
Kemba is eligible for a 5-year, $221 million super max contract if he stays in Charlotte, but he may prefer to take his services elsewhere for less money, and the Hornets may not try to halt that move (per MassLive's Tom Westerholm):
“I do think it will get done,” MacMullan said.
