Leaguewide Free Agent Rumors

[CoachBo]

I believe something is definitely up with Durant, and if he doesn't come this year (returns to OKC), he's coming next year. The Stars have been aligning on this one for quite some time.......

*Ainge is spotted in the stands, next to Durants mom, while scouting KD

*Media leaks that Ainge would've chosen Durant over Oden, if lotto balls fell Celtics way

*Durant, a well known Bird fanatic growing up

*Kendrick Perkins, a teammate who has the ability to sell on the C's & Ainge

*Ainge has made room this season for 2 Max free agents (also knew the cap was rising)

*Ainge met with agent, found out who KD wants to play with

*IT4 puts full court recruitment out there with Horford & KD

A lot of this is just random, but very interesting. Ainge is no dummy, in fact, he's probably the smartest GM in the biz. He somehow managed to get a seat at an expensive table. One he's saved up for.

Hah, don't tell that to some people on here.

Anyways, I think those are good reasons he would choose us. If not this year, hopefully we continue to take a step forward and show him what we are all about next summer. (Though, there are reports that he wants this to be a 1 time thing, that he wants to sing long term now)

Everything Ainge does is for a reason, and he always is a step ahead. He's patient. Waits until a situation benefits his Celtics, & then pounces, I feel like he's been college recruiting Durant since the beginning. He knows his family, been buddy buddy with his agent (same agent as James Young).

The guy covers his bases. I'd have to believe him & Stevens are good salesman. This meeting Saturday will go well, no doubt. Durant still might stay in OKC regardless, but best believe Ainge will be prepping for the next go around. He'll use this to his advantage somehow.

Please don't tell me that that's why he drafted and has, for some reason, elected to keep James Young, lol .

This is funny.

As is the inability of some people on this blog to consider opinions other than their own. Creates paranoia, which is also funny.

Uninformed narcissism also is funny.

Grow up.

Well Look at AB. Very good friends with KD, went to church together the last time KD was in Boston.

He drafted him and he couldn't play for the first two and a half years. Dribbled off his foot constantly. Every one was telling DA to trade him, and a crap pic. Then he gets hurt a lot, but Allen goes down and AB gets his shot. Plays well, but get hurt again during playoffs. Lands a contract that is more than he was worth at the time, every one goes nuts about it, even though right now its a REALLY good contract because he thankfully got good and cap has risen.

But we wondered why when AB was so bad for the first half of his career why DA held on to him.....

OKC will get one last attempt to pitch Durant in the Hamptons after he meets with the other teams.

This will essentially be where KD lines up what other teams have offered and asks OKC if they can beat it. I don't think the OKC wanting Horford rumor is any coincidence.

First and last meeting with OKC? That sounds like kind-of a blow to our chances (and everyone else's). They will really have to show they have no plan for the loyal KD to turn them down. It will be a shame for him when Westbrook bolts town next year.

Horford to meet with Rockets on July 1st.

Outside of the Hispanic connection, I just don't see the appeal of Horford in Houston with Harden.

"Uninformed narcissism," huh? You're coining that term -- what's it mean?!

Eh, I think it's definitely him giving them a chance, but it also puts pressure on them to match the offers of other teams that he heard the previous days. I fully expect KD to go with what he thinks will be the best overall solution for him in winning both now and in the future, wherever that might be. I don't think he'll be overly loyal to OKC if he thinks another situation provides a better opportunity to win.

Playing for D'Antoni can be fun.  Lots of shots available.

It didn't say they'll get a final meeting they hope to

Yeah, my bad. I read it as they have it already. It would make sense though, since they can't really talk about contract details or anything like that today, though they most likely will anyways.

@ramonashelburne

I will be interested to see if they explain how that will work.
