Horford agreed while the meeting with Kevin Durant was still going on, according to Sam Amick:
And talk about timing: I'm told the Celtics meeting with Kevin Durant in the Hamptons is still going as we speak (tweet).

And Horford elected to use 18 shamrocks. Coincidence?
18 Shamrocks. Next #Celtics #NBA championship will be 18th in franchise history. https://t.co/Ei6sx7Qzon

Now all KD has to do is hear the news and bolt for Boston. Either way the Celtics improve dramatically with Horford in the mix and should jump to a lock for a top 4 seed in the 2016-2017 season.
