Are you ready for it?

They are legitimately a good fit for him... add in the #3 pick and they'd probably challenge lebrick for the east title
It's not happening. Celtics are trash.
>KD lives in LA
>Lakers will have $60 million in cap space this Summer
>No Kobr Brick Machine
Yeah...no...
>>66936369
Im sure kevin durant is super keen to play with snitchy d and swaggy p
>>66936369
why the fuck would he leave OKC to go to one of the worst teams in the league when he could go to Boston and compete with Lebron for the east title?
>wanting your team to suffer from the curse
Of course
>>66936369
Sure, but the Warriors and the Spurs are so dominant that the road to the finals is pretty much locked for every other teams for the next 3-4 years in the western conference.
So if he aims for a title, the road to the finals would most likely way easier in the east.
>>66936269
I think the Celtics had a real chance if they made it past the first round, but now with Bradley down, they're looking at a first round loss again. Not entirely their fault, but that's not exactly a good look.
>trading rusty westbrook for Isaiah
>>66936269
DEAR GOD NO. I really don't want the Slim Reaper to play for the Celtics. The Durantula can and should play for the Oklahoma City Thunder next year.
>>66936369
are you retarded? You think he wants the money?
>picking Boston over the Lakers, who will need to take at the very least 2-3 more years to be serious contenders
Go fuck yourself.
Listen to jalen and jacoby podcast, jalen rose lays out main reasons why he wont leave thunder anytime soon.
1. Leaving thunder will only be beneficial if he joins a team that has an all-star better/greater potential than russel westbrook. Seeing and russel is one of the most athletic PGs in nba history, and is still youngish. If he leaves he has to establish/build chemistry/relationship(see lebron kevin love story)even if it looks good on paper ,which he already has at Thunder. NBA wont allow trade to clippers or warriors.
2. He has played for 1 team/franchise his whole career (hurr durr inb4 sonics, he has never been traded) meaning he will go down as the greatest player for that teams history. This comes with statues, easy access to post playing career jobs, favourite son of the city status, future ownership opputunity (ala kobe bryant) especially if he wins first ring for them.
3.A trade to elite teams like spurs, clippers, warriors, cleveland will be denied by the nba. These teams are the only guarenteed championship teams that are worth leaving russel westbrook for.

Those are good points but I don't think Jalen is such a credible source of information. More than likely KD will sign a 1+1 with OKC so he can get more money next summer. That's what most people on ESPN, FOX, BR, or whatever else is out there have said. It makes the most sense, but really on KD knows what he's going to do.
>>66940877
>NBA wont allow trade to clippers or warriors.
Why not? I thought they were only able to veto the CP3 trade because the Hornets were owned by the league at the time
>>66940877
>A trade to elite teams like spurs, clippers, warriors, cleveland will be denied by the nba.
Any trade sending KD to spurs/clippers/warriors/cavs would involve sending at least one of LaMarcus/DeAndre/Blake/Draymond/Klay/Love to OKC
>>66936324
Who's best at #3? I'd say Hield
He should be a Supersonic. :(
>>66940877
and that is why he is going to the Atlanta Hawks, the team in the East that is one superstar away from serious contention
>>66936369
>KD lives in LA
>>66936324
>#3 pick
A guy who won't be ready to contribute for 3 years
>>66942824
>shit sandwich would have been better
>>66943341
Who are you quoting?
>>66943314
#3 Jahlil Okafor did pretty good.Just think if he got drafted on a team with good coaching and real NBA players
>>66943844
He did good for a rookie. But he's too inefficient to contribute to a playoff team.
>>66943882
I could see him contribute in a 6th man role
Durant to the c's
Love to the c's
Cousins to the c's
Game over.
>>66944882
>mfw the celtics actually have the resources to pull this off
>>66941116
You're right. That guy is just a dumbass.
>signing a player who is cursed
no thanks
>>66941704
Yeah, but if it isn't to Cleveland, Dan Gilbert will whine about it like the bitch he is and it will get vetoed.
>>66940959
Either side can opt out June 30, 2017 of the CBA, before that FA period begins. Any FA this year wants guaranteed years and money.
>>66948953
Stop with this veto bullshit. NBA vetoed the CP3 trade because they LITERALLY owned the New Orleans Hornets and thought the Lakers offer wasn't good enough
>>66940877
>a trade
hes not going to get trade dumb shit, hes an unrestricted free agent. this summer he has absolutely no ties to the OKC Thunder organization unless he signs another contract with them. he can go to Oakland and sign with the Golden State Warriors the second his contract expires, and there is nothing the Thunder or the NBA can do about it
>>66940877
Who is LaMarcus Aldridge?
OKC could waive rights to all their FAs this year (except for Durant) and have $19 million to play with before using Bird Rights to re-sign Durant. But OKC is also really dumb and want to stay out of the luxury so they'll just throw money at Durant and sign some MLE.
I'd rather a coached up Cousins desu.
Grizzlies, hawks, heat, warriors with cap magic, and the raptors are all better than the celtics with durant. Unless he trusts that much in stevens and ainge which honestly I probably would
>>66949959
Heat only if he wants a small window that still has D-Wade, maybe Whiteside, and possibly Bosh if his heart can take it.
Wiz will have hometown return, Wall, 60 games of Beal, money for another max contract and nice support players in Gortat and Morris.
Boston only if he can be convinced of trusting his teammates and Boston picks up Dragan Bender with 3rd pick from Brooklyn.
>>66949959
Warriors only have to waive Barnes and Speights to make enough room for Durant and still have enough to resign Ezeli and Barbosa
>>66936269
man, I wish.
>>66936423
kek
>>66949833
same. much rather have boogie.
>>66949098
It's not my personal opinion, just reiterating what I've heard and seen.
>>66949366
The GOAT.
>>66936369
KD lives here in OK man. Westbrook lives in LA.
>>66941704
Why the fuck would anyone trade for Durant? He's a fucking free agent.
