Durant is leaning towards OKC but there is still hope for the Celtics. According to A. Sherrod Blakely of CSN, several sources claim that Durant is seriously considering joining the Celtics.
#Celtics aren't out yet. A source tells @SherrodbCSN that Kevin Durant is "seriously considering" joining the Celts: https://t.co/GqHdV7Wz6l

CSN had the below details:
“A league source with intimate knowledge of Boston’s thinking in regards to Durant as well as another league source, both told CSNNE.com that Boston’s pitch to Durant this weekend was good enough to where he’s “seriously considering” the Celtics right now as opposed to down the road.
The team’s presentation, as well as the inclusion of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady – one of Durant’s favorite players – made a very “favorable impression” on Durant to the point where, according to one source, it’s no longer that big a stretch for him to seriously think about Boston as his next basketball home.”
An earlier report had Durant eliminating all teams except for OKC and the Warriors, so we will see in the next 12-24 hours if the Celtics did enough to get him.
