Celtics have interest in Gigi Datome for '13-'14? (merged)

According to the Italian media, Datome agreed to join Celtics next season for the league minimum.

He denied the whole thing on twitter, which is understandable considering that his team is about to start their finals playoff series.

La notizia di oggi riguardante il mio futuro non ha alcun tipo di fondamento. Vi abbraccio, peace

Foreign sports media don't tend to get the advance scoop on these things.  I seem to recall Argentinian news outlets being certain Andres Nocioni was getting traded to the Celtics multiple times.
