 Don't too to much thinking just use your supercomputer we can brains and give the percentage chance we have at landing either or Durant and Horford. And the chance we land both.


 Chances we land both. Optimistically 34.2% chance. Realistic 3.4% chance.

 Chance we land Horford. 42.3% optimistically.
 11% chance realistically.

1% chance at landing Durant at best.  I just don't see it.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
If we got to the ECF, and even possibly made it a tough series, I think our probability rises up definitely a lot more by at least 2.5%. If we got to the Finals, that percentage rises up exponentially to 10-15%, which is a lot better than most people think.

Its not mathematically impossible to believe we could get Horford. But Durant is another story.

Assuming everything goes well, we should make it past the second round, get to the ECF, give CLE one of the toughest games they have had in a long time, and lure Hoford/Durant to the team where we beat GSW next year.  ;D

I know people are pessimistic about landing a star via free agency , but if Durant wants to win as the #1 option, C's offer the best chance . KD would fit perfectly in Brad's offense . We have the ability to add another max with him, plus 3 likely top 10 picks from brk .

 Shaq Attack!! Let's wear green googles bro!

 Seriously we have a solid shot at Horford. Big Dominican population around Boston. Much better future than the Hawks too.

I think that combo is an extremely low likelihood.

Seems like there's a decent chance of getting Horford.  Not sure who the second guy would be.

A lot probably depends on what happens in the playoffs and how the ping pong balls fall.

 I hear you Rondo Tp. Was taking earlier with a colleague about this, and its an ideal situation for Durant to succeed here.

 Clear number one guy here in the game plan, Stevens would be unreal with him, if Durant comes Horford comes Durant's already stated he wants to play with him.

 Team full of Defenders and glue guys plus Thomas, and either a top Five pick or traded vore a veteran that can play now.

 Top three team in the East already. With Durant Horford we probably run away with the East the next three year's.

 Wouldn't you agree Pho that if Durant did in fact come here, basketball wise it would be a perfect fit and he would have a hard time finding a better destination to reach the Finals each year.

Good to see you are back posting. How did you come up with these numbers? tbh they seem completely random.

50%

It'll either happen...or it won't.

No other percentages matter.

From what I've heard, Horford is pretty good friends with another Boston athlete who wears #34 as well. Maybe he can...help us out a bit ;)

ha, ha, ha...of course they totally random. these are coming out of people's collective butts. simple hopes/wishes/thoughts/guesses/hunches/desires dressed up with a few numbers to add a veneer of objectivity to them.

hey, its sunday and cb, why not and have some harmless fun?  ;D
