Boston Celtics fans might need to root for an upset on the Fourth of July.
Free-agent superstar Kevin Durant, who met with six teams over the past few days, apparently narrowed his list to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN NBA writer Royce Young.
While we don’t know which team Durant will choose, the expectation is he will make his big announcement Monday on The Players’ Tribune.
Despite the Celtics’ best efforts — Tom Brady, Al Horford, etc. — a Sunday afternoon report said Durant is “strongly considering” signing with the Warriors, who apparently made a last-second push with a phone call from team executive and former Los Angeles Lakers great Jerry West. And it always has been widely assumed that the former NBA MVP will have the Thunder on his final list.
But don’t give up hope yet, Celtics, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs fans — sorry, Los Angeles Clippers fans, your team reportedly already has been eliminated. Reports also seemed to indicate Horford would return to the Atlanta Hawks before he signed with Boston.
KD has a lot to think about before he makes some fireworks on the Fourth of July.
