Aaah, well of course now I understand. I mean once you grok the deep meaning of the above post, it becomes obvious that Durant is behind all this maneuvering, these many plans. He's working his magic to make it possible to come here and have it look as if he's our savior, as if he's "taking his talents back home to DC."
Wait a minute... did I say "magic?" I shouldn't have written that word. The Magic is a good young team. No, Kevin... no -- turn your eyes away, don't look in that warm weather direction down where the heat warms your bones....
Wait a minute, did I say "heat?" I shouldn't have written that word. The Heat would really make a title likely for him. No, Kevin, no -- turn your eyes away. Focus into the distance, focus East. No... wait a minute, not that far away, not all the way to Ireland. They have Celt(ic)s over there.
Hmmmm, I hope we have contingency plans to make some backup moves to the backup moves. Get the scouting, the development all bunched up w/ the player development -- takes flexibility to do that. I know... maybe Singleton can go recruit Durant. Maybe he and his buddy Maynor and Seraphin.
One thing I know -- Durant doesn't want to keep playing in our building when he's on the road and keep getting beaten.
It's a sure thing really -- no, I mean it! Even Hands says so, and you know... whatever happens it's "what he's been saying all along."
