Durant Meeting (Merged)

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

The .@celtics are here in Salt Lake City for summer league. One of the 1st off the bus was Danny Ainge, sporting a huge grin. I wonder why?

Sherrod

well we did score Al Horford so... xD

I'm sick of the "Danny Ainge has a huge grin" reports.  They said that about him prior to the draft.   Danny's a happy guy... they just signed Horford and have lots of options.  He also has a pretty sweet and fulfilling life outside of basketball.  He has a right to be grinning.

hell, DA was smiling after the draft in which he said he never wanted to do again (b/c of the amount of picks)!

Bulls signed rondo

What exacly are the Kings doing?

Ruining their organization as always. They just rescinded Seth Curry's qualifying offer too.

 I think he's coming here.  It's just a matter of the announcement.  Seems like it would come tomorrow but might leak out tonight.

Are we staying here all night waiting ?

Yup

Saltlover, was that just you messing around saying that Westbrook wasn't at the final meeting? Because I've looked all over and actually haven't found anything that said that he actually was at the meeting.

I would find it very, very weird if he wasn't there.

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.

They would also have to trade Bogut.

Do they have to trade before they announce the signing? I wonder how hard it would be if they announce the signing and then had to move Bogut. I'm still waiting for those rumors to come out before I get too nervous. Or more nervous than I already am.

Bulls signed rondo

What exacly are the Kings doing?

Making the right move, in this case.  A very un-Kings like thing to do.

And how do they plan to keep Cousins, their lonely star, happy? They are not making the playoff because of these moves

[walker834]

If KD was going back to OKC it would have been announced by now.  Same with GS if he just wants to join forces with them.   He's waiting for fireworks and to make sure everything is in order.

I think the okc summer game just ending maybe just waiting for that to be over?

nah people are saying decisions expected tomorrow

I'm hoping we get a pulse of it later tonight though by our beat guys like Bulpett or somebody

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

My friends call me "the 'weather" so you can trust me when I tell you that Durant is signing here shortly 

[SHAQATTACK]

He an't going to GS

It would make him look like a loser or defeatists


If he leaves it's to do his OWN Gig on a team that will be his .......

Not joining the team that stood in his way .......KD is made of tuffer metal than that.

I still think that Al Horford's decision was based on the fact that he knew Kevin Durant was going to sign with the Celtics. I mean, he made his decision as soon as the Kevin Durant meeting was wrapping up. he also wouldn't commit to Oklahoma City because he wasn't sure if the Durant and Westbrook would be there after next season.
