I hear Golden State is breaking out the big dogs and having Steph and Klay attend their meeting with Durant.

Neat.

Which of our 30+ Hall of Famers will be coming?

I wonder if Danny and Brad will decide to keep it low key and basketball focused, and go alone.  It could send the wrong message (like "do they really care that much if only these two came"), but it could also just keep the meeting focused on basketball, which is important.  I could see Danny starting off, saying a bit about how the team has done, the players we have, and the assets we can use to get others, then handing off to Brad for a really detailed run down of how Durant would fit in.  I could even see Danny/Brad having proposed deals/fits for players Durant likes.

Either that or go for the "be a legend" pitch and invite Tommy and Bill
I'm bitter.

BS, DA, IT (friends with Durant), Bradley (friends with Durant)

As for the Hall of Famers, I'm not sure if any go. Bill Russell almost always seems to be a good choice in these situations, but his health is a little concern with that.

In addition to the obvious Ainge, Stevens, and presumably Wyc, I'd expect IT to be there.

My hope would be that our meeting is late enough in the process to at least have Al Horford call in and tell KD to join him in Boston.

I really hope we get Russell to go, and have him bring his rings.

I think he'll make a decision before meeting with the Celts. The C's will only get a shot if none of the best options really convinces him.

Yeah, I think this is how it'd have to work. Sign Al Horford at the start of free agency. Have him, IT, and Crowder attend the meeting with Stevens and Ainge.

Bradley is really good friends with Durant , attended a church meeting with him the last time okc played in Boston

Gotta have ab there too.

  • That's turrible
How about other Boston sports stars like David Ortiz? Ortiz loves the Celtics and he understands what it's like to move from another team and to win in Boston. It's Sports City. Have him and guys like Tom Brady come in and really let him know what it's like to win in Boston.

Totally.  Couldn't hurt to have Big Papi and Tom Brady come.
