Double Whammy for Durant

It wasn't a good day for Texas forward Kevin Durant. First off, his Texas Longhorns get owned by USC 87-68, despite him scoring 30 and ripping down 9 boards. In another sick performance this season, most likely his final one as a Longhorn.

It's been well publicized that the Boston Celtics' have had a horrible season, at one point losing 18 straight games last month. Well now, they get busted for excessively contacting Durant's family before he declares himself for the draft, nice. GM Danny Ainge decided it might be a good idea to sit next to Durant's mom during the Big 12 tournament, which overstepped the bounds of "minimal contact".

The punishment for Ainge and the Celts' is a $30,000 fine. No one knows what was said between the two parties, however, we're pretty sure that Ainge had to have mentioned the fact that he would love him to be a Celtic next year.

We wonder if it's a violation if Danny talks to his son, Austin Ainge, who plays for Brigham Young, would anyone care, he's not going to make the league anyway.
