I feel like if you're too needy it's like "eww... go away" KD can make up his mind, don't pester the kid

They also said Ainge asked for one more chance to talk to him, but they are staying true to what they set up. Everyone got their shot and OKC gets the rebuttal if you will.

What about the reported phone call with Jerry West yesterday?

That's not really true to his word...

I think they wanted more of a meeting vs a quick phone call.

OKC's team is playing right now and literally no one from the team is watching. They are all on phones or in the hallways or the team specific areas.

Gotcha, thanks.

Well hopefully he at least picks up when Ainge calls him...

hes a dingleberry but he's a fan just like us all, he's sitting in a pile of his own piss in anticipation of this

Wouldn't you think he would have some sources?

On this? Probably not. He has some guys in Celtics PR etc, he knows some people at the Lakers and Clips, Morey in Hou is a buddy, but he isn't working phones and he isn't who an agent or shoe rep leaks to. Most of what he knows comes after it's gotten leaked elsewhere.

Just dying. KD is our city.

That's no exaggeration. To us it's basically a referendum on every bit of progress we've made in the last 20 years as a city. Whether that's true or not, it feels like it.

We already can't get free agents. If we can't get our own we just have to pray Presti keeps hitting in the draft.

Not that it matters much but I still think he goes back to OKC. I just don't want to see Durant is Oakland which would essentially render the NBA useless the next 5 years.

As for free agents: Well I thought the same thing about Boston until last night.

I can feel it. Durant will be a Celtic

If you want me to respond to something or a question in particular, I need you to quote me. I won't see it otherwise. Sorry to be a dick about it, but I can't keep up otherwise.

As much as I'm enjoying this, you gotta feel for these guys. Not as douchey as the Heat when they lost LeBron.

On a positive note, Russell Westbrook would immediately become a fantasy player's dream. :-?

May be an odd question, but how is something like this being talked about so openly at summer league?!

Seriously, I find it weird that no one has photoshopped Wyc's face on this yet.

Just for fun while we wait, (anyone know exactly what time the thunder meet with him anyway?) let's say hypothetically KD agrees to come to the Celtics. And let's say Butler is on the table for the 2017 or 2018 nets pick and Crowder, which I think he would be.

Ya or na?

I feel bad for most OKC fans, but I don't feel bad at all about an ownership/management team that stabbed SEA in the back with the assistance of David Stern.
