It seems that things can change in the blink of an eye.

A day after telling WEEI's Rob Bradford at the MLB All Star Game in his hometown of Minnesota that he "could definitely see a return to the Celtics," free agent Kris Humphries is headed out of town.

The Celtics and Washington Wizards are finalizing a sign-and-trade for the 6'10'' center, according to Yahoo Sports.

Humphries will sign a three-year, $13 million deal with the Wizards.

The Celtics will get a partial trade exception from Washington, which the Wizards acquired as part of the sign-and-trade deal with the Houston Rockets for Trevor Ariza.

Humphries, 29, averaged 8.4 points and 5.9 rebounds in 20 minutes per game while shooting 50.1% from the field. He played 60 games this past season for the Celtics.
