Would you ever want to see Durant with the Celtics?

[Robb]

He's on a one and one and if he wants to make max money next season it's going to be really difficult for him to do that in GS because they'll only have his early bird rights which limits how much of a raise he can get.

We'll be there though. As presently constituted we'll have enough room to give him a max. Danny will probably keep it that way, too.

When he scores 15 points per game, finishes 15th in MVP voting, and is booed and mocked mercilessly on the road all season, he could have a change of heart after picking up a title.  Of course I would take him.

Yeah, here's hoping he goes the Kevin Love route. He may get a championship, but I want him to be extremely awkward on that roster.

And, of course I would take him. If he realizes his mistake and wants to join the Cs, that changes everything.

I think it's a mistake to put everything on Durant and keep waiting on him.  Durant is a great player and would get us a championship as constituted. There are also only so many players in the nba that can do that.  Lebron, Curry, Durant are pretty much 1,2, 3 right now.  I would try to build some other way though.   The question is how to do that.

The chances of us landing Durant or any one of those guys is still very slim.  We could be waiting forever for all we know.  It's Danny's job to find these things out but there have to be other ways to build.  The NBA is tricky that way.

It's just such an anti-competitive thing to do.  Rather than fighting for and leading a team to a championship, he wants one handed to him.  He's a great talent, but there is nothing great about winning that way.  It will severely damage his legacy.  Maybe he will realize it during the next year and will jump ship again whether it's the Celtics or any other team.

Let's hope so xD  Maybe Danny Ainge already has a verbal agreement for the future? We shall see...Say though its injury issues....then its looking abit scary...

I wonder what other moves we Danny Ainge make from here on! It seems the other teams are very quickly closing deals!

I really want to give Jaylen Brown the time to grow and now is the best time! (Hopefully Young who i still havent given up on can also prove us wrong!) If we can grow our own stars, NBA LOOKOUT!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Dude has no heart.  No competitive spirit.  NO THANKS!  This is the Celtics.   We said no to that panty-man Dwight HOward and we'd sure as heck say no to that panty-man Kevin Durant. 

[Sixth Man]

Of course I would like to see him in Green, but it's not likely to happen.  Good luck to him in GS and let's move on to this summer and next season.  Too many butt-hurt Celtics fans, but the probability that we would land KD this summer was always a long-shot, at best.  The fact that we were a serious consideration is a very positive sign for the Celts. 

[LGC88]

I'm so tired of all this.
Do you know what being a Celtics mean?
Do you realize what type of player won championship in Boston.
Do you realize what it takes to compete, hustle and sacrifice for the jersey ?
Do you think we won banner 17 just because we added a big 3? Look what all players bring besides their talent, think deeply.
Now tell me if KD has a place here after what he just did.
If you don't have the answer, I seriously doubt you understand the meaning of being a Celtics.

thats all fair but its a superstar driven league.

I dont think you can pass up a superstar even if you Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing hate him.

To be honest we were lucky that way and iin position to add those guys whether through good drafting or whatever it was.  Players came here over other places like Russell because other parts of the country were so awful.

Doc always had that comment how the celtics had like  3 of those guys and the hawks had one in dominique.   

The situation is just flipped now and there are only so many guys like lebron, curry and durant in the nba.

It's no different than Duncan going to SA.  People expect too much of these players.  Durant is going to do what is best for him.  That could have been here.  He had a lot of great opportunities.

West is just doing to us what we did to him in reverse.   I'm not saying West is like us either.   He isn't.  NEither is Durant.  These are guys who came up short their entire playing careers and West sold  Durant something. 

Now the script is flipped.  We are the team looking up. We  need to find a way.

I am going to enjoy watching GS lose in the playoffs next year.

[GreenCoffeeBean]

Forgiveness comes easy when you get what you want. Just look at the Cleveland Cavaliers.

[Roy H.]

Sure. We've got no reason to be mad.

[SHAQATTACK]

Maybe not now .....

It appears he didn't want to put in the effort and work like LeBron or KG .


We need guys who are willing to pick up the job and go to work.


He has exposed himself as not quite the self motivator ,   Or maybe his injuries ar worse than anybody knows and this is only way he feels he can guarantee a ring.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Sure. We've got no reason to be mad.

Exactly. Disappointed, but not actually mad at the core of it.
