Saw this mad-lib type mocking of sports journalism in the huffpost sports section - clevery exposes how utterly vapid most sports writing is:

Don't look now, but sources are telling us that that the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant is considering YOUR CRAPPY TEAM HERE as a possible 2016 free agent destination.

“No, ya, seriously,” a source close to Durant said.

Sources close to the All-Star forward say Durant is primarily intrigued by the possibility of teaming up with PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM WHO IS ROUGHLY 10X WORSE THAN RUSSELL WESTBROOK and THAT OVERRATED SECOND-YEAR PLAYER YOUR TEAM IS BANKING ITS FUTURE ON.

Stylistically, Durant is reported to be interested in the team’s UPTEMPO OFFENSE (IF TEAM HAS SHORT PLAYERS) / SIZE (IF TEAM HAS TALL PLAYERS) / DEPTH (IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD PLAYERS) and the possibility that he could LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS BASKETBALL-RELATED HERE.

"He could be interested, he could not be," a separate source close to Durant said. "Only time will tell, probably."

Durant is said to be taken by the city’s LARGE TELEVISION MARKET / SMALL-TOWN CHARM and the team’s LONG LEGACY OF SUCCESS/ MANAGEMENT / NUMBER OF NERDS ON STAFF / UNIFORMS / NOT BEING THE KNICKS.

The former MVP is known around the league to be close to PERSON WHO BUGGED HIM AT A PARTY ONCE, which some people within the organization believe could tilt the scales in YOUR CRAPPY TEAM'S favor.

Durant has been dropping hints that he is interested in the team for some time. He was recently spotted eating CUISINE MILDLY ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR CITY and is known to enjoy AGAIN, WRITE LITERALLY ANYTHING HERE. DOESN'T MATTER.

Durant additionally tweeted the following in September, which insiders are taking as a clear sign of his interest in YOUR CRAPPY CITY, where people are known to both wear sunglasses and use flashlights.

Should YOUR CRAPPY TEAM clear the necessary cap space by the offseason, we're hearing that Durant will announce his decision on The Players' Tribune. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith first reported news of Durant's interest in YOUR CRAPPY TEAM.

Well that settles that.

LOL, good write up.

he'd be a great fit on our team for sure , right now and would cure some of our early ills on offense...what a DREAM.


lets just go ahead and make a trade....LOL.

we'll take Durant and Adams

and give OKC

Lee, Turner (expiring deals) , Olynyk and a couple first rounders.

OKC has over $97M in salarys this year and the signing of Kanter for $17M a year makes re-signing Durant harder (even with the expanding cap numbers). They will be around $94M with 12 players under contract next year if Durant stays at max money. can anyone say tax repeater and small market?

Ainge would be rolling the dice that Durant will re-sign instead of going home to Washington as a FA. But he'd be counting on a deep playoff run, being able to offer him the most money AND Stevens as coach swaying Durant to stay.

of course OKC would only CONSIDER something like this if Ainge includes the Nets pick (probably this year).

that would be a roll of the dice for sure, but worth it?

That would be a team that could go deep in the playoffs...OK, time to WAKE UP NOW I suppose.
