TP for everyone...even the the draft day, sky is falling, fire Ainge haters.   

We actually have a shot to sign a top 3 player in the league....unreal.

Genius long game played and planned by Danny Ainge...wow....blown away.

Let's not get too optimistic. After all, we've only ever had one big FA signing.

Horford is like if Jared Sullinger got the treatment that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America.

This is awesome.

I love Al Horford.

Celtics are now the 2nd best team in the East. A 52-55 win team.

PG: Isaiah, Rozier
SG: Avery, Smart
SF: Crowder, Jaylen Brown
PF: Amir, Jerebko, Mickey
 C: Horford, Olynyk

Horford moves us past Toronto and the newly improved Indiana Pacers.

Even without Durant.

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

Royce Young is a huge OKC homer.

Sources: Kevin Durant had been recruiting Horford to OKC, but Horford eliminated OKC with no assurance Durant/Westbrook staying long-term.

ok some of this is getting more interesting now...that and the news that KD was on the plane with Brady...

Ainge during the negotiations with Durant: "fine, you can borrow Tom Brady if you like"

for the first four weeks of football season, anyway.

But there's no reason that KD can't be #12.

Dude, I don't like to make fun of people's weight, and I'm not doing that here, but I love Marvel, so I totally got the Steve Rogers/Captain America analogy, and I laughed out loud. For reals. TP.

Some of you are saying that 113m is a lot for Horford and that he wouldn't age well. I say that i rather have Horford overpaid than Parsons or Mozgov. At least we ara overpaing an all star :). Too happy right now, too excited :)

I'm listening to ESPN radio, and they announced Kevin Durant to Celtics. Maybe they meant Horford?????

Yeah, I just spent a good 5 minutes chuckling at their grief cycle.  A mixture of denial, rage, and bargaining going on.

It's not as much an overpay as the market has shifted.

Classic case of free market economics.
