Durant Meeting (Merged)

@Chris_Broussard
Kevin Durant has told clubs he is meeting with that his decision will be made within the next 24-36 hours, according to league sources.

Hmmm sounds like a decision might have been made and he's just waiting to announce it. I'm so hyped.

Yeah he know where he wants to go. Still haven't gotten confirmation on if this is a long term decision or not.

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.

Feels like this is "The Decision: Kevin Durant Special" that he'll be making a decision within the next 24-36 hours. 

"In this Fall, man this is tough...in this fall, I'm going to take my talents to Causeway Street and join the Boston Celtics."

No, no, no... between management's fireworks comments and the fact that it's July 4th weekend, he's got to mention fireworks somewhere!

Why would it be so shocking to see him leave OKC? Most people believe Westbrook will leave next season, and the just traded away Ibaka and failed to land Horford, and they still play in the Western Conference. It wouldn't be too shocking to see Durant decide his time there has come to an end.

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 wonder if they showed him a video of the 'LETS GO CELTICS' chant when we were eliminated by Miami in the playoffs.

The Celtics' meeting with Kevin Durant reportedly ended around 7:30pm, meaning it lasted roughly four hours.

plus whatever amount of time they spent with him last night and flying down on bradys jet

[dang], 4hrs?  What could they possibly be talking about for that long?

Yeah, I mean, at this point he could just post an image of fireworks on twitter with no text and we would all know what it really means

pretty much all the meetings lasted that long. 

What's weird is is that I think the clips meeting went 5 hours and durant was reportedly "blown away" but their moves today (signing Austin rivers) suggest they are out of the running.

I'm guessing it will be as simple as Horford's decision with something like a tweet. Something like "Well, Danny did promise fireworks" with a fireworks emoji would be perfect!

why was Steve Balmer crying at the Clipper presentation?

They all flew on bradys jet, they talked longer than 4hrs. He flew into Boston last night, maybe they brought him to the garden too?

Someone finally did the cap math for him.
