You know, before the Ibaka trade I put the chances at signing KD at 5% or less.  Not having Ibaka, watching Westbrook throw away another 4th quarter, and the difficult path in the West makes me think the Celtics have an actual chance.  If I were KD I would be deciding between Okc, SA, and Boston.  We can get the big man he wants, he can be the alpha and not be following the footsteps of LeBron, Duncan, Curry, etc.  this team is stacked on perimeter d and he loves AB and IT.  Make it happen Danny and then the draft will have made marginal sense.

I have serious doubts Horford comes here.

Why? If he joins up with KD, which is really the only scenario in which I' max him out, that's the absolute best chance at a ring he has while being a significant offensive and defensive option.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

So that's what you think will happen? Great. Let's see it.
