Thought it was worth its own thread : a guy named Nick Mattioli, who claims to have had an internship with the Celtics and to still have connections with a member of the team, who announced from that source the exact details of Horford's commitment to Boston the night before it actually happened : "Per source, Celtics offered Al Horford a 4yr, $113M max-salary offer. Told team he'll sign & make it official after attending Durant meeting"

He now claims, according to the same source, that KD's will announce his decision to sign with Boston at midday : "REPORT: People close w/ Durant informed Celtics insiders that KD will sign w/ C's. Will let public know midday July 4th via @PlayersTribune."

And he replied this to my retweet : " I did announce the Al Horford signing the night before and the correct max offer. All coming from the same source."

And when someone asked about the Woj Horford/Washington/Boston/Atl tweets, his reply was : "Woj tweets a lot of incorrect rumors regarding signings. He is not up to date like you think he is."

I was thinking about making a thread about this but I didn't want to take the chances of being torn apart on the off chance that this is false.

I'm 99.99% convinced that this is true.

Well, I'm willing to take the risk if it turns out to be true!

Maybe he was supposed to attend and finally didn't, who knows? The rest of his infos were accurate.

Yeah that's the confusing part. Horford wasn't a part of that meeting and, despite the kids claims about Woj, literally every news outlet said horford was still deciding
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

I think what he meant was after the Celtics attended their meeting with Durant, not Horford himself.

Let's not act like predicting the Horford max required some inside Intel. [dang] near everyone knew we were throwing a 4 year max at him and it was supposedly between us and Washington. We were the logical choice.

I get that, but this kid called the Al Horford signing before it even happened.

Same here, I wouldn't even have mentioned it had he not tweeted correctly about Horford hours before it actually happened.

Haha. I immediately searched for a consistent interpretation too! Seriously this kid is taking a huge risk by tweeting about this so confidently. If it backfires noone will ever listen to him again. Career breaker if he wants to hit the real media one day

This source is total BS he also reported the deal would be 2 years 60+ mil and the decision was gonna be made tonight. He is making all of this up probably to get followers or some BS Like that.

people "called" the al Horford signing in February.  There were numerous reports for months that we wouldn't give up major assets in a trade for him, because we were going to try signing him.

Seriously - don't fall for Twitter trolls.  I hope KD signs here too.  Maybe he will.  But Twitter trolls are the worst.
