Lance Stephenson Responds to Trade Rumors with Cryptic IG Post

Fade to Black…

Yesterday, ESPN reported that the Charlotte Hornets were discussing a three-way trade with the Nets and Thunder that would send Lance Stephenson to Brooklyn.  In what appears to be a cryptic response to the rumors, Stephenson posted this on this Instagram page last night.

This isn’t the first time Lance has sent a message with this black-out post.  Two months ago while he was stuggling during the Hornets’ disappointing 4-14 start, the team’s biggest off-season acquisition posted the same thing. 

Does the blackout mean he’s not responding?  Does it mean RIP to his time in Charlotte and Hello Brooklyn?  Is it a sign of unhappiness?   Only Lance knows, but time will soon tell what his future in the Queen City will be.
