Why would Durant delay the inevitable for a year to play with a team that is going to be broken up anyways?  Maybe he wants to give Westbrook  a shot but I don't see why he does this.

Tom Brady doesn't just show up at meetings.  I don't see how a guy like Durant could sit there and listen to a guy like Tom and not be fired up to come here.

How unprecedented is it to have the superstar of another team in the city be part of the pitch team?  And then the tweet from Ortiz.    I will be shocked if he leaves OKC -- but I'm getting closer to believing that if he does -- it will be to go Northeast rather than West.

Honestly, I've long thought that if he leaves he's going to Boston. San Antonio and Boston were the only real options that made sense for him outside of OKC, all things considered. After signing Horford, you have to think that we're the favorites. I would bet it's close to 50/50 for him to come here or stay in OKC.

I don't think it's near 50/50.  I'm not getting my hopes up.  OKC gets the first and last word, they just went to the conference finals, and Durant seems like a loyal dude.  The Horford signing I think bumps us to number 2, partly due to being a better team than at 1pm today, partly due to the KD-Horford relationship, and partly due to momentum, but I'd say it's like 60-30-5-5.

Dude, it's just the lack of sleep talking. ;)

Unfortunately, I agree with you. I just think the path of least resistance and financial maximization is a 1+1, regardless of what he says about doing it again. But I also thought we had no chance of getting KD this year. That's clearly not the case. Thumbs up to Celtics.

By this point, we've probably all seen the pic of Brady walking with Ainge and Co. from yesterday's meeting, but here's a few more where he poses with our players

i know. one would think that at least someone on the celtics would have provided them with some sort of credible wardrobe and lessons there in.  ;D

Come on!!


If we pull this off, would any team be in a better position than us?


With the picks, we're kind of loaded
I trust Danny Ainge

Nah, it looks good. This is just the Celtics version of The Idiots.

Whats funny is every one is complaining about how the C's dressed, and KD was probably in flip flops and a banana hammock.  ;)

Anybody scared of Riley potentially scaring KD away from joining us?

It's starting to look like Riley's meeting with Durant could come down to, "Just don't sign with Celtics." Clips look out after their moves.

If Durant is truly considering deciding as soon as tonight. then Heat hardly enter meetings in position of strength (let alone cap).


LOL

I was wondering about this tweet. Is he meaning just because we're in the East with Miami?

Yeah, pretty much.  The Heat have no chance at Durant.  So what's Riley possibly going to talk about?

So Miami with Durant would be:

PG: Dragic
SG: Wade
SF: Durant
PF: Bosh
 C: Whiteside


Can Miami do that? Keep those guys and sign Durant?

I can see that as being tempting. That is a strong starting five.

Besides the fact that Bosh is almost certainly medically retired, I don't think so. Many are claiming that they'll have to lose Dragic to get him.

They can't without Wade taking a discount, which he apparently doesn't want to do. Also, there's still uncertainty about Bosh ever being able to play again.

Bosh may never see another minute in the NBA again (sadly), and Wade is unhappy about his financial situation with them. Dragic as their PG? LOOOOL. Whiteside is good, but still an immature player.
