There's already tons of bandwagoning in the Bay Area with the recent success of GSW.  I rock my Celtics jerseys out here while everyone else is wearing their Warriors T-shirts or has a Warriors flag flying from the window of their car.  I'm getting sick of it, and it's only going to get worse if KD hops on board.  I'd respect him if he chooses to go back to OKC.

It makes you wonder what would take him so long to do a 1+1 with OKC though, since we'd just go through this again next year.  Is he considering a long-term stay with OKC even if Westbrrok hasn't committed yet?

He doesn't want to go through this again.  If Westbrook leaves, then he'll have to as well.  But if he leaves first, he's the one who looks like a jerk.  It's a very tough decision, although it has been made.

I don't think this deal is a 1+1. If KD was genuine about his not wanting to go through FA again, he'll probably sign a long term contract. .

Looks like Woj lost his mojo.

Kevin Durant's decision has largely brought the rest of free agency to a stop. Most are waiting on his choice to proceed.

I still have no expectations of Durant coming to Boston - but it sounds like it got closer than I ever thought it would.

If he goes to Golden State, I'd love to get in on the fire sale that would result there - I'd love Andrew Bogut.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

Woj just resurrected from the death. He has been awfully quiet these last days.

It's a lot pressure and whop la. To go though again next year ......KD does not seem like the kind of guy to enjoy this attention.

Choosing GS is the easy way out .  They don't need him.   He would be luxury .

Would you rather hang a banner in Boston with legions or in an empty building in another city , when the Thunder is moved to,another city.

I lost so much hair this weekend.


I have new facial wrinkles and gray hair
Haven't shaved since Thursday.  Maybe I'll rock the beard at work tomorrow if KD signs here...

What the weather like on the east coast?  I've been in the man cave for two days

If Woj doesn't know, then no "source" does. It's all on KD now!

If Woj don't know then Broussarse certainly wouldn't know anything.

I've always thought he'd just stay with OKC on a 1+1.  But now I'm guessing he stays with OKC for a new max contract.  Hope I'm wrong and he comes out East.

If the plan truly was to announce the decision "this morning", 11:00am eastern would be the most logical time.... 8:00am on the west coast.     You wait an hour and it's no longer "morning" on the east.   You do it it any earlier and most of us are sleeping on the west.
