Baylor didn't play on the 72 team. he retired at the beginning of the season.Yeah, I'm so old I can remember the first time that happened:

Right. The 1968-69 team was going to be so good after Chamberlain got himself traded to LA why bother to play the season?
Bullpett -
Multiple teams have been told to expect Durant's decision Monday. Hearing more and more it won't be based on money.

Jamal Crawford back to Clippers 3/42...
Makes KD to GS still in play and more so since he was rumored to GSW.
If we see GS start to make moves I will stop refreshing.

For those in the app, this one is from Marc Stein:
"One man's reading of the tea leaves after six Hamptons meetings: Golden State was and remains the biggest threat to lure Kevin Durant away."
Well of course. If it was about money he would stay in OKC for sure and wouldnt go through any of this
Just getting the feeling he's going to Golden State. Too much smoke right now to not be fire around it. I pray that an unexpected announcement of KD to Boston comes but I'm just getting the sense he wants to join Curry/KT/Green.
I love "opinions" like this. It's like he thinks it will get dark tonight. GS was the biggest threat from the start; there are no tea leaves to be read.
The only thing anyone on the outside knows after the meetings is that the Clippers likely were told they were out.

And that the Celtics seemingly have not been given that message, based on the "fingers crossed" report.
Sure, it's a long shot. Always has been. But the game is still afoot.
As we all know the media is used by everybody to push an agenda or a narrative. No one but KD knows what he's doing for sure
David Ortiz said he had never been asked by a team to execute what the Celtics requested. But once approached, he was happy to oblige.
Following the Red Sox’ 10-5 win over the Angels Sunday afternoon, Ortiz told WEEI.com that the Celtics requested the Sox’ designated hitter to reach out to Durant in an attempt to help recruit the free agent forward to Boston.
And while he couldn’t join the Celtics’ meeting with Durant in the Hamptons Saturday because of the Red Sox’ game (although he said he would have attended if there wasn’t the commitment), Ortiz did manage to fire off a tweet, encouraging the forward to commit to the Celts.
"Boston deserves it, man. Fans here deserve that,” Ortiz said. “They deserve the best athletes to come around and perform for them. Fans here are real fanatics. I have played in different cities and what you get here is special from the fans.
“When something like that to be put in place, I’m down with it. My people are here. There are real fans here.”
Ortiz said he wasn’t surprised that Tom Brady was in attendance at the meeting because he “already heard he was going to be there.”

The .@celtics are here in Salt Lake City for summer league. One of the 1st off the bus was Danny Ainge, sporting a huge grin. I wonder why?
And then he goes back to his dreary job being the GM of one of the most iconic franchises in sports.
Yeah, KD or not the Celtics are gonna be fun. And it'll be even sweeter when we beat them in the finals.
It said: "Now everybody wanna play for the heat and the Lakers? Let's go back to being competitive and going at these peoples! 7.16.10, 10:09 a.m."
Or the Shaq/Kobe Lakers adding Payton and Karl Malone.Yeah, I'm so old I can remember the first time that happened:

Kevin Durant will make his decision tomorrow, I’m told.

Royce Young OKC beat writer says he's been told it's down to OKC and GS. Take with grain of salt.
The longer he takes allows the Warriors more time to get rid of bogut, etc. But realistically, making the biggest decision of your life should be allowed a good night's sleep. lol. I'm not sure there is anything to read into the timing of the decision
He can't even sign anything until the 7th and even then if he commits before that, GS has plenty of time to move pieces to make him fit.
What exactly does GS have to do to clear space for KD? Does it have to be done before he signs?
