FWIW , IT says we definitely have a shot at signing Durant

[rondohondo]

Isaiah Thomas on recruiting Kevin Durant: ‘We definitely have a shot’: “We definitely have a shot. I know that for sure,” Thomas said on Sirius XM NBA Radio on Wednesday. “I’m just trying to reach out when I can, and stay in his ear here and there. … My relationship with him is real genuine, and hopefully I can get him to come to Boston.”

IMO the only shot we have is if we can land Butler and then sign Horford or whoever Durant wants us to sign.

I think that ship has sailed.

Did IT just admit to tampering? Or is player to player contact exempt from that rule ?

0% chance...

90% He will resign on 1 year 1 year PO in OKC

10% he signs with GSW

The NBA rules say "person affiliated with an NBA team" -- so I'm pretty sure this doesn't exclude players.

Tampering period ends July 1, btw.

I think it depends on what Westbrook wants to do. If he stays in OKC, Durant will stay.

After the Rose trade...

Butler is untouchable

We have a shot at Horford but ATL is hinting they are willing to keep him with a max...

I'm not so sure about that, with rose, gasol and Noah all leaving, that is going to be a pretty awful team. I don't think Butler is going to be very happy playing for a 30 win team, and he has already had some disputes with management .

I will say that I don't like IT4's style, he's too talkative in the media. Durant has been pretty quiet and isn't flashy like that, why not mimic him until his decision is made?

I keep saying it, but I don't think the Rose trade has any impact on Butler. They are not grabbing a major piece with that money this offseason.

While it may have left the docks, I think it's only taking a small tour and will be back as soon as the captain hears the engine knocking.

I saw on his Twitter that Thomas is doing an autograph signing session on Monday over here in Washington state about 20 minutes from where I live. 

I've been thinking about going if I have time.  If you could ask Thomas one question, what would it be?

[fairweatherfan]

I think we have a chance, I just think it's a slim chance.  But better than 25-27 teams' chances.  Tonight will be a big step toward seeing what kind of roster situation we can present him on the 1st.

If we actually have a real chance, it should only require one or the other.  As discussed at length in a thread a couple of weeks ago, getting both Horford and Butler would make the finances of signing Durant very difficult, if not impossible.  So I think one would be necessary, but not both.
