Former Fox 25 sportscaster and current WEEI fill-in host Butch Stearns claims to have some inside info on the Celtics pursuit of Kevin Durant (WEEI via NBC Sports):
I have this on pretty good authority. The Celtics have sat with his agent and other representatives of Durant. The Celtics do know — I don’t know who it is — but they do know who he would prefer to be brought here in a LeBron-Chris Bosh–Dwyane Wade-like way. Because that’s how it works in the NBA. You need to know who the guy or guys that that guy wants, which would be a factor.
