Boston Celtics, +1600
This will be a big summer for the Celtics, as president Danny Ainge will look to make moves that help Brad Stevens and company take the next step in the East. Thanks to savvy moves on the trade market the Celtics had eight picks in last week's NBA Draft, but without there being a true "franchise-changing" player available they're still in search of that superstar who can help them make a jump. Guard Isaiah Thomas was an all-star last season, but with Avery Bradley going down to injury during Game 1 of their series with Atlanta a team that already struggled to shoot found itself in even greater trouble.
Enter Durant, who's one of the best shooters (and overall scorers) in the NBA, and he would give the Celtics a "face of the franchise" caliber player for their head coach to utilize. Stevens is one of the top minds in basketball, and to have a player of Durant's caliber would turn Boston into a serious threat to the champion Cleveland Cavaliers in the East. (Getty)
