Thunder Fire Scott Brooks

That franchise is going in the wrong direction. Which is good news for us. We will have a tough time as it is dealing with the rise of the Pelicans. The Pelicans are two small forwards away from being legit.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Mark Jackson considered. Seems Brooks-like in his approach to "coaching" aka, let my players do their thing while being their buddy (although I don't think Brooks was all that liked).

As much as I dislike the guy, but Mike D'Antoni and the SSOL offense would be interesting in Oklahoma, particularly with Westbrook's emergence as an MVP candidate this year.

Mike Malone might be a good, under-the-radar candidate. Players seem to like the guy and he's decent at getting effort out of a team.

Donovan would be terrible for the Thunder, great for the league in my opinion. I really struggle to see that team listening to him at all.

What took so long?

Billy D has an awesome recruiting class coming in for next season, so I don't see him leaving UF any time soon.

TBH, I always saw Donovan going to the Spurs if he ever went to the NBA.

Surprised it didn't happen last year.

Billy Donovan :wow

:worthy:
