Gotta admit, I never thought it would get this far with Durant.

Royce Young is a huge OKC homer.
Hed been pretty much scoffing at our chances, but just tweeted this:

"Something seems to have dramatically swung Horford choosing Boston. I'm sure the windows at the OKC practice facility rattled a bit just now"
"OKC went armed into their meeting with Durant with the message of canceling the Hamptons and signing long term so they could chase Horford."

Horford probably remembered the OKC ownership was cheap, in addition to the fact that KD and Westbrook may very well end up leaving.

Hahaha!

Classic! What a great night this is turning out to be...Not sure my heart could take anymore but I would gladly accept a tweet that says "Durant cancels meeting with the Heat...Durant seen at Hamptons hotspot with Brady, IT, Horford and Bradley drinking Dom"

So this is what Celtics management meant about ''fireworks''. I have to say they are arriving right on time! I'm betting at this point that Durant announces he's signing tomorrow, again, right in time for 'fireworks day''.

If this is the case and the team stays healthy then we are again contenders. Throw in a couple of draft day jackpots, a couple more free agent signings in the next year or two, and a couple of minor but good trades and we may be looking at a new Celtics Dynasty!

So 113M over 4 years is averaged out to $28, 250, 000. But he starts out at 26.4 with annual raises or something, right?

This is awesome.  Even without KD this is huge.   

I knew we'd be a player in free agency.  This proves it.

Congrats to Danny and the whole front office.
Congrats Celtic fans.

Horford for Sully, great improvement.
Simultaneously setting us in a better negotiating position with KD, for this and/or next year.

Even if the team misses out on Durant, Ainge could still get Cousins sometime in the next 12 months and put Horford and Cousins alongside each other up front.

That would be awesome.

I agree, and even beyond that having a well-respected star vet like Horford here helps us next offseason even if KD doesn't work out.  This can be the first domino even if the next one doesn't topple for a while.

If  Tom Brady closes the deal for Durant to Boston, I'm going to have to have another kid and name him Brady.  That will be awkward for the one I already have named Brady.

Yeah, the economics of the game have massively changed.

Can't call Horford an overpay based on old contractual standards.
