Nike, ESPN, and TNT don't want the big names here. Otherwise it would happen.
You're joking right?

Not really. The league's network and advertising partners are the biggest winners this offseason. I think a lot of what has been going on this summer has been about side money and not about basketball.

in the last 4 years, Celtics have signed 3 top free agents. Horford, Hayward and now Kemba...so players definitely will sign here

To be fair Horford and Kemba only signed here because their teams refused to offer the full, five year max they could on fears that the age of the player would lead to a bad contract. And Hayward came here in large part because of Brad Stevens. And all three were secondary stars.

It seems like an odd time to take the "See, guys wnat to play in Boston" victory lap when Davis and Kawhi have both tried and succeeded in steering themselves away from Boston and Kyrie and Horford have both left. All in the last twelve months.

OMG
LET'S GO CELTICS!
