Some positive thoughts!

Also did anyone notice the Warriors just quietly lost to Magic and Heat back to back before squeaking by the embid-less 76ers (with no klay themselves) http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26136828/celtics-fine-once-playoffs-start

Durant is more confident than about 60% of this site  :P

Things look bleak now, but lets be real, if we actually manage to win the first round and then give TOR/MIL a true battle, trust me, no one will think about this awful stretch in late February/early March. Right now, we simply have to try and survive this week's grueling road trip.

Danny should have kidnapped KD put him in a room and ate the keys unless he signed with the Celtics

What a huge missed chance that was

Since we have so many negative slants on everything, here is a positive one. Durant says what we are going through is normal and we will be just fine. He makes sense actually. Since he speaks with Kyrie a lot, this is an interesting spin on things. Makes me think that maybe Kyrie and Danny have a different plan that all the "well informed" media do not have.

Can someone show/explain to me what exactly a possible Durant S&T in the summer would look like? (Framework of the whole hypothetical trade + salary implications)

Not asking if you'd do it or if you like it, just want to know how it all works out for both sides and what goes/comes in the scenario.

if im right, Durant can sign with us only if Hayward or Horford goes to GS to match salaries..

Would there be more players/picks involved? Could Rozier also be in the S&T scenario himself in a potential Durant deal (he's a FA).

Yes, I believe Durant would have to excersize his option and request to be traded to Boston. Similarly to when CP3 was traded from LA to Houston.

Rozier is not going to agree to S&T, because he's going to want to get more PT and start, which probably won't happen with GSW.

Yeah I figured. So it'd have to be Horford/Hayward, Williams and 1-2 draft picks then? Or Smart + Williams + Brown/Tatum + picks?
