We could feasibly get Horford this year without giving up IT Bradley Smart Crowder KO or BRk 16
Then we could add Durant and resign Horford and STILL have brooklyn 16
That being said I give us no better than a 5% chance at Durant right now
Where can he go?
Stay in OKC, team up with someone on the Mavs, go to the Cs who have the same cap as Dallas but is in a better position to win.
Wizards have Wall but not much else.
What other teams have 30 mil in cap. We might have 50. 2 players.
Golden State Toronto and most of all OKC would all be favorites over us in my mind.
But even if we were the obvious choice id plan on sticking my head in the sand until hes officially a celtic.
OKC for sure, because home is home, though if he thinks Russ will leave then there's no point in staying.(Though really is there a point in staying if they still don't win it this year again?)
Golden State - I really don't see him going and playing third fiddle there. He cares more about his legacy than that, which will undoubtedly be harmed if he went there. Also, they'd have to dump some pretty important players to get him, and if it isn't broke, i.e. they win the title, they aren't going to try and fix it with Durant.
Toronto - I don't really see the appeal for Durant for Toronto. Basketball-wise it would be a pretty decent place for him, but I'm not sure he's ready to move to Canada for that, especially when we're just as good of a fit in the U.S. with a better coach, better management, and better upcoming assets.
