This should be a good coaching move by the Thunder as this team looks good going into the 2009-10 season.


The two new assistant coaches along with the strength and seasoning of existing players and new draftees, the Thunder should be a legitimate playoff contender and here is why(?):

Kevin Durant continues to work on his game and now with the addition of new comers Etan Thomas and Kevin Ollie (Veterans) to the draftees--James Harden, B.J. Mullens and Serge Ibaka to help Durant, Jeff Green, Russell Westbrook, Nenad Krstic, Shaun Livingston, Thabo Sefolosha, D.J. White, Kyle Weaver and veteran Nick Collison the Thunder is adding dept and strength to an already core nucleus of a team that will be a playoff contender for 2009-10.

These guys being younger with a few young veterans that will make them stronger, tougher and long-winded.

Sam Presti has put together some corn-bread and buttermilk fed farm boys just waiting to ride those stallions to no end.

So Watchout Thunder!

This team will be transitioning up and down the court, let's hope they can bring together the right chemisty and continuity that will enable them to make a great playoff run.
