If he wants a ring it's golden state. If he wants to cement his legacy...  It's Boston.  He can build his name with nothing to show for it in okc with the likelihood of Russell leaving. Bin Boston he'd be amongst legends even if he doesn't win a title

I hope this goes well for you guys. Clears some of the log jam in the Western Cconference and creates a super team with a historical past that would be good for ratings

Thanks for your support, Adam! :laugh:

Sources on @TheVertical: Golden State has completed a deal with Mike Brown to join Steve Kerr's coaching staff.

Golden State's response to Al Horford.
Is that supposed to make him want to go there?

Mike Brown, really?

Probably true, although they would have to renounce guys and gut their roster.  After their top 5 guys my question is what role players would be left.  Plus the west will still be loaded.

If he goes to GS and they have a great year winning say...63 games, they will be 10 games worse with KD.  It will look like KD is bringing them down and that is a pressure I don't think anyone wants.  Either be historically great or you messed it up.  Who needs that?

I'm told #Heat's meeting with Kevin Durant lasted about two hours

Anyone see anything about how it went? It does kind of worry me that we never heard anything about the Spurs meeting.

I mean, how could the meeting have gone?

Riley:  Kevin, we'd like to offer you a max deal.
KD: Sounds good.  Do you have the cap space?
Riley: Um, no.
KD: Oh... uh.  Well, if I took a little less, D-Wade will be there, right?
Riley: Probably not.
KD: Oh.. But I see Bosh on all those commercials with Arnold Palmer, that racer, and the SNL guy.  He'll be back next year right?
Riley: *shrug*... So we've got these great beaches and night clubs, and no state income tax!

I checked out Welcome to Loud City and RealGm.  There is very little activity on those blogs.  It pales in comparison to Celtics blogs.  Just another reason to come to Boston, the passion of the fans.  Supposedly this was part of the reason Horford chose Boston.  Come to Boston, KD, and you will be a legend.

Broussard writes this and I find it encouraging..."Oklahoma City, where Durant has played the first nine years of his career, has requested another meeting with Durant after he sits down with Miami, but no decision has been made on whether that will take place, sources said."

Yeah, those blogs are ghost towns.  We have more comments on single articles on the front page than they do for an entire week of articles.  That team is well supported by people showing up to watch KD and Westbrook, but if those two leave?  They don't have the fans who will show up every night in a 25 win season.

Well, if fan interest drops they can always relocate to Seattle.

After Woj's debacle, I think he's going to limit his tweets today to simply announcing agreements.
