Ainge's 12:01 phone call will be...

[PaulAllen]

Speculate who his first FA phone call will be ... its usually someone off the media radar so my top three are:

1. Demar Derozzen
2. Pau Gasol
3. Bismack Biyombo

Hmm, that's interesting. Does he call players like Durant, Horford, and Howard that he already has meetings with?

If not, then I'd say probably someone like Biyombo or Parsons.

Al Horford without him their is no durant.

Yeah, even having a meeting with him, you have to think that since he's clearly the key to getting Durant that he's the first call.

Usually no.. I forget who his first call to was last year but the year before He was in negotiations with Isiah ... I guess it shows he knew what he was doing after all...

Al Horford without him their is no durant.

That rumor is so overblown ... If Durant decided to come to Boston, which I still think is less than a half of a percent, He would want someone of his choosing as the Celtics have the cap space and future trade assets ... Those future BK picks are far more valuable than the 3rd pick this year ...

Chipotle, for delivery. Gotta fuel up for an all-nighter.

Last year it was Amir.

This year, I expect it to be Al Horford getting the full court press from Danny & Brad.

Everyone knows that the C's are the best landing place for he and Durant thanks to all the team-friendly deals we have on the books that have opened up two max slots for them.

While the Thunder flail around to clear space, I expect our FO to be delivering the message that its not just hype-- Boston really is the best place for the two to team up and dominate.

Obviously Al will follow Kevin's lead, but if we can make a strong case to Al tonight he just might become a champion for us ahead of the KD meeting.

If it's someone like Parsons, I'm going to be very disappointed in the FO.  With Crowder and now Brown, we have no need for the oft-injured former defender, especially considering the price.

I think he'll simply mass email: "We've money to spend, contact for more information #Banner18 #InDannyWeTrust #WycWycWyc #DurantInTheHouse".

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Was just thinking about the first call being to Horford ... anyone concerned that he'll feel like he's just being used? Like, that the Celtics don't really want him; they want him because of Durant?

Close at 10..

Sam Presti. They close a S&T deal for Durant that sends Amir Johnson Jerebko and piles of picks to OKC

If Danny shows up at your Chipotle and asks you to stay up to midnight to make him a special green burrito, you do it.

BTW, apparently, we've got Chipotle in on the act, also.
