Twitter is too quiet!!
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Final predictions, guys? I'm going with OKC on a 1+1.

So if KD is really considering leaving , and next is uncertainty of many things .   .....

Why waste time waiting till next year ........

Go ahead get started now ,   Why waste more time spinning your wheels .

I don't see OKC better next season, only worse without Ibaka .   That Opelido kid is not any kind of savior .  I would not trade Rozier for him.

He could be saying thank in the piece to the 5 teams (and their fans) that met with him.

Regardless of what happens, hats off to Danny for putting the Cs in position to be in serious consideration by the top free agent.
Celtics fan for life.

Even if Riley tried to sabotage it I don't think lightning strikes twice. He probably just came off the wrong way this time.  OKC doesn't make sense.  Neither does GS.  Nor does Miami.   We are the best destination for him by far imo.  Danny's been building it.  I think not getting Durant would be not good but we still have a  young team.  I expect to get him at this point.  If we don't so be it though.  The Celtics have done everything they can.  So have I as a fan over the years.

Yeah, Conley resigned with Memphis and published a piece on PT.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Kevin Durant’s final meeting—a second one with OKC officials—has ended. Now, we all wait.

No Westbrook at the meeting means he's leaving.  The only delay in the announcement is his Player's Tribune ghostwriter trying to make KD look as good as possible for leaving OKC, without sounding like he's copying Tito Horford, according to my source.

Salt, a zillion pages here, is this your form of positive thinking or do you actually have a source?

I've got as good a source as Tim Kawakami out of CSN Bay Area.

I'm trying to practice web journalism.  Say something definitive that you have a small modicum of information about.  If you're right, great.  You're IN THE KNOW!  If you're wrong, start to walk it back.

My source still says Celtics, but Players Tribune is writing articles for choosing all three of Thunder, Celtics, and Warriors.  Spurs are out.

Even if you think that, you have to be irrational and say the C's! lol

I really don't know. In all reality, the Player's Tribune thing has me tripped up. If he's just doing a 1 + 1 deal in OKC, then announcing it like that makes no sense. However, if he signs long-term there, which I highly doubt, then perhaps it would, or it would make sense to do it that way if he was changing teams.

My heart says Boston my gut says GSW...here is hoping my heart wins out

On a side note, how much longer is Sullinger name under my profile name? Since it has appeared, I have gained weight and I never gained weight for my entire life  >:( I think his calories are being teleported to me on a daily basis. Today I ran 8 miles trying to shed some of it....

Mannnnnn, this is going to happen very shortly  isn't it? I'M NEVER GOING TO GET THIS GRADING DONE AT THIS POINT! lol

I was hoping it wouldn't come until later on tonight, but it seems this is about to break at any moment!

He is not picking GS

That tarnishes his reputation........losing to them ......so I go join them to get me a ring . 

The very next year .......that's just not KD or what I've come to expect .....

That says I quit .......i can't beat em .....I'll join em .......

That's not how he wants history to show his greatness.

He has given OKC many fine years .......

So it's either OKC ....because he is so,loyal or Boston IMO.
