FWIW, a rumor (from an unverified source) about KD signing with Boston

[SparzWizard]

If this kid is right again, he is a god...a mr. know it all. 

[Ilikesports17]

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.

The key here being that 2 year 60+ mil contract is not possible.

[Drucci]

Don't believe any of these nonsense sources. You will set yourself up for a major letdown.

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.

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.

I'm well aware of that. But it doesn't necessarily mean he is a troll.

Too much of it makes sense to me - and not because I want to believe it's true. Of course I do want to, but Al Horford's 18 shamrocks tweet followed by his new bio and header cover really felt like something he had prepared for a while so it gives even more credibility to this tweet since it would prove that everything was already planned for the Saturday "show". I think you can admit that it was quite a convenient timing that he announced his decision minutes after the KD meeting with Boston ended (after the Brady photo conveniently went viral)?

seriously - guessing we would sign Horford to a max contract in the midst of literally everyone reporting we were trying to sign Horford to a max contract would be like "predicting" the sixers were going to draft Ben Simmons. 

If he guesses this durant signing correctly as well - it means nothing.  It would be like following up the Ben Simmons guess by "predicting" the Lakers were going to draft Brandon Ingram.  "Insider".

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY A Cs EXEC WOULD LEAK THIS. KD CLEARLY DOESNT WANT THIS LEAKED. THIS WOULD BE IDIOTIC.

I know we all want something to grab on to that says KD to Boston but this is not it my friends.

What about "guessing" Horford would annonce his decision just after KD's meeting ended? It may seems predictable now but it really wasn't before it actually happened.

It is possible, actually simple - you shake Amir and JJ's hand and you say "thanks for the memories and go get a big payday". P.S There is no way he signs anything other than a 1 (or 1+1) year deal wherever he goes though - unless those weird "tumor" rumours have substance.

they wouldn't.  It's nonsense.  He might be right but its a pretty easy guess to make.   

Guess we will know shortly whether durant is coming here or not - but I would in no way credit this guy as an insider if durant actually signs here.

Supposedly the leak is a player. Supposedly.

I risk looking like an ass here but isn't the max for KD 26.5 mil. Next year he can get like 28 or 29 making a 2 yr 60+ mil deal impossible

If it happens within a minute of midday. Fine.

Sure whatever... the biggest scoop ever - made by a kid who just graduated high school in Rhode Island.  K...

LeBron's return to Cleveland was first reported by an unknown 20-year old gym trainer, but whatever. (http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2014/07/meet_the_20-year-old_personal.html)

Something else to point out about this kid. He tweeted a few weeks ago about the Warriors potential death lineup of Curry, Thompson, Green, Durant, and Dirk. I know there's a counterpoint here but, from that tweet, it sounds to me like this kids not just some Celtics troll trying to stir the pot if he was looking forward to that potential lineup.

[Croc Hunter]

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
