Kevin Durant is not the type of player who wants to be recruited. Yes he may come to Boston for a visit and see all the history and trophies n hanging banners. What Kevin Durant wants is what he already has in OKC. Think about this, he's got a home that he's been comfortable in, he's got Westbrook to play next to and a great coach in Billy Donovan, he's got the love of his fans that would be heartbroken if he left, and he's got a great rich contract coming his way. There's no reason to think he will just up and leave all that. He already expressed his need for stability and even though the Celtics just showed a sign of it by signing Brad Stevens and Danny Ainge long term, that's not the stability he's talking about. Durant wants stability at home, he's not gonna go and uproot his house and life he's not going to move to the northeast.

I've been reading a lot of info on him and his lifestyle and found that he loves it in Oklahoma/Texas. He doesn't want to leave that area and already stated it would take a national disaster to move him from his situation in OKC. He specifically said that he isn't concerned with the bright lights the larger markets provide. He's gonna make 40 million more in OKC then anywhere else. I don't see him moving to Boston Massachusetts. If he does leave OKC he is most likely going home to Washington D.C. that would be the only place he goes if he leaves.

Boston doesn't have the playmakers at the level of Russell Westbrook. Boston has a lot of assets but there is no one here who could provide the star power of a Westbrook therefore there's 0% chance he comes to Boston. I will note that Nike wants him to leave OKC for a bigger market and they have 300 million reasons why they'd love to see him go to a place like Los Angeles but he's not concerned with them big markets.

That's why getting Okafor is such a great deal. Especially if we do a package for Okafor and Covington/Grant for the #3 pick and gar****e.

If This happened and I was Ainge I would try to offer MIL a trade for based around IT for Jabari. IMO Jabari is undervalued bc of his 3point attemtps/makes. But like Okafor he has a great stroke and IMO will get that 3-point shot(he shot very well from 3 at Duke even from NBA range).

It's all opinion and personally scouting but I believe with Okafor and Jabari on our team they will give CBS the elite talent and give us a decade of a solid foundation for winning.

Edit: Does anyone know if it is possible to trade with BKN to get their pick for 2017 outright? So we would have our pick and BKN's pick for 2017. We don't even have to use both picks to draft but they could be very valuable to the right team because the draft is very deep till the top 10 and past.
If we do trade for Okafor and Jabari for the #3 and IT I really would have to take back everything I said about Ainge and give him props because not only did we have winnign seasons and show off CBS but even if we tanked for the last 2 seasons we still prob would not have ended up with  Jabari and Okafor

I can tell by your aggressive behavior that this post offends you. Just Kevin Durant not choosing Boston would offend you. Well be offended because he's not walking through that door folks.

He's staying in OKC

Your source?

Where's your source to prove he's considering Boston ?

I never said he was. You're convinced that there's a zero percent chance he won't go the Celtics so you need to provide a source. Otherwise this is your speculation.

Whats up dude. TP btw.

I've been harping for awhile about these players but check out these guys for 2017 draft:

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Dennis-Smith-76448/
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Thomas-Bryant-7231/
http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Edrice-Adebayo-72747/http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jonathan-Jeanne-73326/

Obv they're other guys and these guys are not even in the top 5 right now (except possibly Smith) but I like them especially if they are availaible after 5.

I think Bam Bam and Dennis Smith Jr will make a jump. I picked Dennis Smith Jr back when he was a soph in hs to be the overall pick so I gotta put that out there.

It's also easy to predict that the most likely outcome will occur and act as though you knew it would happen before hand with 100% certainty.

For instance I could say there's a 0% chance we trade for Jimmy Butler. I'll probably end up looking smart having made that statement. Because trades for superstars are difficult to execute, and Chicago will have a steep asking price.

But.. of course, I don't know with 100% certainty that we won't trade for Jimmy Butler.

The only thing we know with 100% certainty is that at this point in the offseason nothing is certain.

I thought this post was about Kevin Garnett. I know he was never going to leave and go to Boston as well.

Why would anyone leave the cultural mecca that is known as Oklahoma? I have two close friends from that state..one left for Tampa and he had thought he had moved to Heaven. The other moved to NYC and wondered why he waitd so long.

I believe there is close to zero percent chance he stays in OK for his career...my source is my guy, which by the way, is full after big dinner

I would say we at least have a 5 percent chance! 8)
