Darren Wolfson: Heard today Wizards/Celtics/Heat also expected to be in mix for Horford. #Twolves likely call. But won’t get him. twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/… 6 hours ago – via Twitter DWolfsonKSTP

First official rumor that mentions Horford as a target

Let's get this done Danny!

Regardless of whether Durant comes here or not, Horford would be a terrific addition.

Wait there's no mention of Horford being on KDs list? Do you mean this rumor that leaked months ago? I'm not buying it.

Well let's see C's are one of six teams to get a meeting with Durant, and are the only team that can offer 2 max contracts. Now they are expected to go after Horford. Danny is not signing Horford to a max unless that's what Durant wants IMO

I will ONLY sign a max contract for Horford if Durant comes.
Otherwise, Horford is not worth the max.

He could wow me if he is playing like his pre-injured days again under that max $$$ though! But this only works if Durant + Horford are both on the Celtics, nuff said.

In this cap environment Horford is absolutely worth the max whether or not Durant is also on the roster. The question is whether he will be worth the max on the third and fourth years of his deal. It seems likely he won't, but if he ages gracefully and avoids major injuries he might not be an enormous overpay.

He'd be an amazing fit with the Celts current roster, aside from being a relatively weak rebounder for a center.

Lol, in no cap environment is Horford a max player, imo - Durant or not.  Pass.

Oh Horford is a max player. The only thing not decided on the subject is which team Horford is going to allow to pay him that max.

Lol, at his age and with his injury history, Horford puts the 'max' in 'betamax' ;D.

I would wait for Durant to sign to a team first, if I were Horford.

Hopefully Horford is in contact with Durant (and IT is in contact with both of them). This could be a really special summer.

Didn't Miami trade for draft pick, Shapazz Napier a few years ago because Lebron liked him. Then, Lebron went and signed with Cleveland. We wouldn't want a similar occurrence to happen with Horford. Plus, after watching the Atlanta series I wouldn't go near Horford with a max contract offer.

Genius move by Horford s agent- start a rumor that Horford is on that list.

I'd take him for the max at 12:00AM on July 1st regardless of whether we have a commitment from Durant or not. He's an upgrade over anyone we have at the position, and it's clear at this point that a commitment from him bolsters our pitch to Durant. We can sit around pinching pennies all we want, but the bottom line is that anyone we sign is going to get paid.

I don't think they said he was on the list KD gave out. It was reported around the deadline that KD has wanted to play with Horford, and thats why there were trade rumors with Boston getting him. This wouldhave given DA more wiggle room in FA to grab an other player. But we also would have been a couple players short.
