I take back anything bad I said about Ainge this offseason.  He brought out the big guns today.  Do work Danny!

And this from an OKC guy: http://twitter.com/royceyoung/status/749328499140227073

BUTTHURT!!

Someone is jelly!

This is going to sound stupid, but does OKC even have another pro sports team? None come to mind, though I could very well be wrong with only being a basketball fan.

No Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. OKC only brought basketball guys to their meeting, their market doesn't really have anyone else to bring lol great place for a superstar to play!  ::)

Wasn't Bird his favorite player ?

Danny should call up Larry and see if he can come out for a couple hours. :)

If only ESPN knew beforehand.   They would actually talked about the Celtics presentation.

I'm sure the Celtics will make the meeting about basketball. Brady is probably just there to talk about Boston and becoming a legend there.

http://www.celticsblog.com/2016/7/2/12088198/kevin-durant-free-agent-rumor-nba-kendrick-perkins-boston-celtics

dis is a good point

From the same article:
Quote
"I don't care about commercials, I don't really care about this sh--, I just want to hoop," Durant recently told ESPN. "So all that stuff doesn't really matter to me. It's all about who I'm gonna play with, what type of people I'm going to be around every single day and I'll go from there."

Maybe that's the reason the Celtics brought half their team.
Here's my big question...   I see Oly and Smart... I hear about Jae and Thomas being there.   

What about Avery Bradley?

If Bradley isn't there, it's because, unfortunately, the Celtics know that any trade for another star (after signing Durant and Horford) is going to REQUIRE we include Bradley's 8.3 million dollar contract.  So it wouldn't make much sense to have Bradley come when part of our pitch might literally be, "KD, we have options on the table... we could overpay for ____, we could trade for ____,  we could even trade for _____."

Let me know if anyone has a Bradley sighting, because that would surprise me.
