Just when it looked like the Wizards were sitting on their hands during the first day of free agency, we got a bit of a bombshell:
Sources: Free agent Al Horford held four meetings today -- including Houston, Washington -- and plans to make a decision over weekend.

Wizards, as @WojVerticalNBA reported, met quietly w/Horford (he also saw Cs & Rockets), selling idea of core group (w/Beal) under contract.

Earlier in the week, Marc Stein of ESPN reported the Wizards were interested in Horford, but this is the first we’ve heard that they got a chance to meet with him.
