His agent will get us a meeting.
Our situation is prime for Durant. If we got one of Howard or Horford here and make the 2nd round of the playoffs, we'll get a sit down meeting for sure. Even if we don't, I think Durant listens to our pitch anyway at the request of his agents.
The West is going to be brutal for the next few years. Durant knows this. We are the best team in the East to add Durant and make a title run in a weaker conference. Miami is also there, but the Lebron factor will dissuade him a lot from going there to Lebron's shadow that's been left behind. Durant also sees our team of battlers/hustle/heart guys and you know he loves it.
It's what he's about and he would be the perfect stretch four for us next to Dwight or Horford in the middle with Crowder, Bradley, Smart and IT as our remaining core.
Don't doubt for a second that Durant will sit down with Ainge and Brad Stevens and get the Bill Russell, KG, Larry Bird schpeile and the fact that we were the first franchise in basketball to draft a black player when no one else would.
We are a serious option for Durant and Ainge has set us up this way for Durant.
I see a lot people saying 'he'd consider us as a 5th option and we arent anywhere on his radar'... but that is wrong IMO.
The Celtics history and our core would be extremely appealing to KD, especially when the West is going to be so tough for the next 5 years.
