      Just saw a report that said Durant "told the Celtics who he wanted them to acquire for him to go there". I'm no insider but I think I can let you guys know how that conversation went:

      "Kevin we want you in Boston, what do we have to do to make that happen?"

      "Im not going anywhere without Russ, get him here and I'll sign"

      "But there's no way we can get Russell from the Thunder"

      "1 and 1 it is, OKC I was never going to leave this city, we've got unfinished business!"

        At this point, only reason for him to leave is to win titles right away, not wait to see if OKC could improve enough.

        So that should really narrow the list of potential teams.

        There are only a few teams who'd give him a better chance to win than OKC. Maybe not even the Warriors or Spurs would be better because those teams would have to let several good players go in order to give KD a max contract.

          Expected. A player of KD's caliber is only signing with a team if the right players are there. Word is the Celtics have sat with KD's agent and representitives and the team knows what players KD wants to play with in a James-Wade-Bosh situation.

                I wonder if Jay Z wants KD out of OKC. Never seen him in OKC at a game before.

                  Maybe it's the cranky old guy in me saying this but I really hate how the NBA has become such a players league that teams have to build their roster on the basis of what the top free agents want.

                  That's just BS IMO.

                  Oh well....

                            Getting more money is never a bad thing. Especially if they're willing to give it to you
