Hell, Bill Simmons has been saying as much about Horford for months.
2 days ago he was negotiating a new 3 year deal with the Celtics, yesterday he cut off negotiations and reporting says he has a 4/$100m+ deal out there. I don't disagree it's been obvious he could get money elsewhere, and maybe the reporting is wrong, but it sure seems like something changed yesterday.
