The Vertical's Mannix: Boston could be "dark horse" in Durant free agency

The Celtics may not have given the hometown fans much to cheer about at the start of this playoff campaign, but Boston's faithful can still dream about Kevin Durant coming to Boston in the warmer, sunnier days ahead.

On the heels of the announcement that Scott Brooks would join the Washington Wizards as their next head coach, The Vertical's Chris Mannix wrote today that Wizards fans should not invest in the idea that Brooks would be a factor in recruiting Durant to Washington. Towards the end of that piece, Mannix included Boston in the list of teams that would be big players in courting Durant.
