I had never seen before two reporters reporting a contrary thing exactly at the same time, that's weird!  ???


And they are  both Marc S.    :o

Coincidence? I think not.

Both of these guys are extremely reliable. Maybe Stein just wrote the wrong team.

Well for what's it worth here is Marc Stein's article on ESPN :

http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nba/news/story?id=6170568

Quote
Highly coveted free agent Troy Murphy is signing with the Boston Celtics.

Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that Murphy has chosen to join the Celtics after spending the much of the past 48 hours agonizing between Boston and the Miami Heat since reaching buyout terms with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.

More on the Celtics

Keep on top of the Green throughout the season with ESPNBoston.com's Chris Forsberg. Blog

• Send Chris a question

Murphy also received recruiting pitches this week from Portland, New York and Orlando, sources said, but the 6-foot-10 forward was always determined to sign with a top contender in anticipation of making the first deep playoff run of his career. Murphy has played in more games (639) than any other active player without appearing in the playoffs.

The East's top two teams chased Murphy hard, seeing him as this season's P.J. Brown in terms of difference-making big men. Boston will now hope that Murphy's perimeter touch and proven ability to rebound can fortify their frontcourt rotation like Brown did when he joined the Celtics midway through the 2007-08 season. Brown contributed greatly during Boston's championship run in the first season together for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

Missing out on Murphy will come as a blow to the Heat, who thought they could trump Boston's offer -- since both teams are restricted to paying a pro-rated share of the NBA's veteran minimum -- with the minutes they could offer Murphy while Udonis Haslem continues to recover from a long-term foot injury.

Miami's hope was to come out of this week with Murphy and veteran guard Mike Bibby, who forfeited his entire 2011-12 salary of $6.2 million to convince the Washington Wizards to let him go so Bibby could join a contender for the rest of the season.

I'm leaning towards Spears' report being accurate.

I want to believe Stein. :P
