Isaiah Thomas on Celtics’ pursuit of Kevin Durant: ‘We definitely have a shot’

Kevin Durant

Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas is feeling bullish about his team’s chances of landing Kevin Durant in free agency.

Thomas told Jason Terry of SiriusXM’s The Runway on Wednesday night that he firmly believes Boston is a potential landing spot for the star forward.

“We definitely have a shot,” Thomas said, via Jay King of MassLive. “I know that for sure. I’m just trying to reach out when I can and stay in his ear a little bit here and there. I know it’s a tough time for him because everybody’s probably trying to reach out and get him to go where they want him to go. But my relationship with him is real genuine and hopefully I can get him to come to Boston, and we can bring Banner 18 (to the Celtics).”

Perhaps Thomas has heard some things from the inside about the plausibility of Durant signing in Boston. That said, Thomas has made no secret of his desire to get Durant to the Celtics.

Would Durant go there? They’re definitely interested based on Thomas’s comments, and Durant’s people have reportedly given the Celtics a list of players that would bring him there. Still, it doesn’t sound like Boston tops his list of potential destinations, so Thomas may have to crank up the recruiting pitch.
