The New York Times’ Marc Stein reported Tuesday afternoon that the C’s have emerged as a “stealth suitor” for Charlotte Hornets star point guard Kemba Walker, who is set to become a free agent.

An NBA Insider already indicated that Walker would be an “ideal addition” for the Celtics, while the Twitter analysts were quick to reply to Stein’s report.
