Dude you have to go for it to win titles now. Stop it. This whole not being willing to give up Tatum/Brown for AD is almost as bad as your Mookie take.
How has any non LeBron team been built? GS was organic. Guess they should have sold off Steph, Draymond and Klay right?

"I love Kyrie," Celtics general manager and president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said Friday when asked about the nature of Irving's recent comments. "He's a terrific player, and he's a fun kid."

I don't trust IT either TBH. People act like he is this innocent baby faced angel. He isn't.
League sources have told me that KD has expressed interest in joining the Celtics.
If you take a step back, that shouldn't be a shock. It's generally believed that the Celtics were Durant's second choice in 2016 and more than a few observers feel that had the Warriors won the '16 title Durant would be a Celtic now. The Celtics would obviously be amenable to this too; Durant has long been the apple of Ainge's eye.
If KD and Kyrie really do want to team up, why would they shackle themselves to James Dolan when an alternative exists? While Boston can't create the cap space to sign Durant, and can't reasonably acquire him via sign-and-trade (receiving a player via S&T invokes a hard salary cap that they would be hard-pressed to get under), there is another way.
Chris Paul moved to Houston via trade by opting in to the last year of his contract, but only once he had brokered an agreement between the Rockets and Clippers. If Durant and Irving wanted to pair up in the best available situation, Durant could follow the same path via his $31.5M final year option. He would be taking a significant pay cut for next season but he's already shown a willingness to do that over his years with the Warriors.

So you'd say no if Durant came knocking?
