Al Horford May be Hinting at Next Destination With Latest Instagram Activity

Al Horford decided not to exercise his player option with the Boston Celtics, making him a free agent. It was a $30.1 million option, so he had to feel very confident he could get a multi-year deal worth more than $100 million.

The Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks have reported interest in Horford, however, there is supposedly a "mystery team" interested in his services, and we might know who that team is.

If you pay attention to Horford on social media, specifically Instagram, he just followed New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson and star guard Jrue Holiday. Coincidence?

It's insane to think that a player would tip his hand and that you'd know where he's going to end up signing purely based on who he follows on Instagram. But, I'll admit, it's odd timing to be following those guys, especially with free agency set to get underway on Sunday evening.

A lot can happen when a player sits down and talks with an organization about a long-term deal. On paper, it might be the perfect fit basketball-wise based on the roster construction, but that doesn't always seal the deal.

Whether or not this means that Horford is NOLA bound in free agency, Pelicans fans are freaking out.

Pelicans fans should just take a breath and wait for more news to surface, as really they're going out on a limb over someone following a pair of Instagram accounts. But I'll admit, Horford seems as if he'd be the perfect big man to pair with Zion, and this could very well be a hint into his next destination.
