How is the math if he decides to join GSW? Can they sign him outright or will it require a trade?

They'll pretty much gut their team. I think they'll be able to keep Steph, Klay, Green, Iggy, and Livingston to sign Durant (while losing Barnes and Ezeli as free agents), and they'll already be at the cap.

That's yet another reason that I can't imagine KD goes there. If he wants a lesson on how important a supporting cast is, look at the Clippers and what they haven't been able to do, even with a ton of talent.

Reporters are bad.  It was all over for us with Horford too.  I'll wait for the announcement and when these people actually have real news to report.  Even Woj was wrong and how they analyze situations..  Marc Stein is wrong all the time if you ever listen to him.  It's better than it used to be as far as up to the minute stuff but they are still usually wrong.

TP!
Could be fun if it required a trade. Imagine the rest of the NBA unwilling to do business with the Warriors in order to prevent KD from joining

They would also have to trade Bogut.

They also have to find someone with cap space to take Bogut for them.

To be fair, Marc Stein hasn't reported anything. He just said some dude is guessing it's GS.

Player Tribune header pic is KD in a shirt that says "trust the weather". Does this mean anything about us? Boston weather?

His source said that the Warriors are the biggest threat of luring Durant away.

Here's a quote from Smitty on RealGm

"There is randomly a guy here who is from the Dominican and knows David Ortiz and he said Ortiz told him that Horford (who is buddies with Ortiz apparently?) said it is done and Durant is coming to Boston."

That sounds as reliable as anything I've heard.  I'm going with it.   

Please read Smitty's absurd trade ideas posted all over the Celticsblog forums.  Then decide whether he's the guy you should be listening to.

Can we confirm that's the same Smitty? In which case, yeah.

Are you sure, cause it seemed like speculation to me. Reading the tea leaves, haha. How is that inside information. His source is just speculating.
