[PAOBoston]

No decision has been made on whether Durant will meet again with OKC after his other 5 meetings, sources say.

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?

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.

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?

Did that seriously happen?  I want to believe.

I'm having Arod flashbacks. I have not been this excited about the prospect of a huge signing for Boston since than. We were lucky that one fell through but this time I would like us to be the one's that get the John Hancock. I am starting to believe we have a strong chance at Christmas in July...

As far as the Clippers meeting lasting five hours, if it takes an idiot longer  to get a point across, it does not mean that extra hour was due to more intent but it could mean more incompetence or arrogance.

[Fireworks_Boom!]

The timing of things seems interesting. We have all looked at this scenario and assumed that it was a scenario where we convince Horford then use that as bait to lure Durant. Maybe Durant is telling Celtics and Horford I'll come if Al comes?

This would make sense with the announcement coming 15 min before the Durant meeting ended.

Previous rumors that KD was trying to get Al to OKC...maybe he said regardless of where, I want to partner with him somewhere.

I've got a feeling we will be celebrating 1,000x more in the next day after Durant comes to bean town!

Yes there are pics of KO IT and Jae with Brady on the runway of an airport

Its being reported that Durant was also on that flight

I've been away from social media all day (great timing huh?), what do you mean by they all flew on bradys jet and he flew into boston last night?

Was it reported that Durant met with the Celtics in Boston???

Thanks to whoever answers this!

Apparently he flew to Boston before going to the Hamptons. He and Brady (and I'm assuming the rest of the C's & Co) were on the same jet that went to the Hamptons from Boston. Or so hey say.

Were there bathroom breaks, or did Ainge keep giving Durant water, etc., until he couldn't hold it, anymore, at which point the rest of the guys from our team who were present at the meeting bolted to the door(s), thereby barricading Durant and telling him that the only way he's going to be able to leave the room in order to go to the potty to make pee-pee is if he signs with us, using Brady's pen, of course , lol . That would also be the best defensive job of Nolynyk's career, ahahaha .

I think Arod literally did sign the agreement to come to boston with his reduced salary.  MLBPA saved our asses.

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.

You are right... I think I blame bad memory on red wine..TP

Has anyone looked to see if the Vegas odds that Eddie posted have changed this evening?

[Croc Hunter]

I have zero belief that he's chosing Boston this year.

KD can come east build his own contender  .......not share it with Curry or LeBron or CP3
