Thus far, while many NBA free agents finalize major deals, all eyes are on Kevin Durant as he continues meeting with teams attempting to sway him away from Oklahoma City.

The next team to get their chance will be the Boston Celtics, who are scheduled to meet with Durant on Saturday evening. But the Celtics’ meeting with the All-Star forward will be joined by a special guest: Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

A picture was recently seen of the four-time Super Bowl winner alongside Celtics President of basketball operations Danny Ainge and co-owner Steve Pagliuca. Celtics guard Marcus Smart and forward Kelly Olynyk were also in the photo. It looks as though the Celtics thought some championship pedigree from the city’s other major sport could do them some good in their meeting with the dynamic forward.

Boston is clearly going all in on this year’s biggest free agent, and the fact that they were even able to secure a meeting with Durant means he’s got to be somewhat interested in what the Celtics have to offer. League sources also reported that guard Isaiah Thomas and forward Jae Crowder will also be a part of Boston’s pitch to land Durant.
