    Enes, The Menace Thunder exit interview: Enes Kanter

    Hope we can resign him; he's very genuine about the way he expresses his feeling for Oklahoma City.

    He's very genuine about the way he expresses his feelings about Utah too.

    I can't express my disappointment in enough ways.

    Very disappointed in the Thunder organization for such a short-sighted decision.

    Brooks was the right guy to nurture these guys but now we need a tactician to get them over the top. Good move by Presti.

    The Thunder organization has lost its mind... ...They just announced the firing of Scott Brooks
    '
    That should make Jim Traber's bowels move...

    Sammy, Sammy, Sammy who's up next as Thunder coach?

    If they HAD someone, maybe I can see it. But who is available?

    Nothing stopping Presti from going after Brad Stevens. I really don't see him firing an established NBA coach to bring in someone who has never coached in the League.

    Not firing Brooks when there was somewhat legitimate reasons to. Firing Brooks when the season wasn't his fault at all.

    Seems like a Thunder-esque move to me.

    hire Ron Adams for the love of God

    They didn't do this without having a good idea of who is the next coach in my view. And they didn't do it without KD and RW being on board with it being best for the franchise.

    This seems like one of several examples of Sam Presti thinking he is smarter than he really is.

    I am guessing this was signed off by Westbrook and Durant, but it still seems overly risky. Maybe looking at a Golden State scenario and hoping lightning strikes twice?

    ESPN reports...

    Golden State, Memphis, Portland & Atlanta have all gotten better with coaching changes; let's hope that something good can come from this move.

    After the Trammel article this morning, I thought there was a chance for this.

    Doesn't sound like Ibaka was in the loop from his comments the other day.

    Yeah, I think this was the right decision by the Thunder.

    Florida coach Billy Donovan is expected to become a serious candidate to replace Brooks, sources told Yahoo.

    Does not look to be Ollie. OKC Thunder: UConn coach Kevin Ollie issues statement, says he has 'no plans to pursue other opportunities' | News OK
    On Wednesday morning, in a statement through UConn, Ollie did his best to shoot that possibility down.

    “As I have said many times, I am proud and honored to be the head basketball coach at the University of Connecticut and I have no plans to pursue other opportunities,” Ollie’s statement read. “We are already excited about next season and I am looking forward to preparing our team to be the best we can be on the court, in the classroom, and in our community.”

    Hey, how about Sampson? NBA experience and he wanted to be a HC in the NBA.

    Highly doubt they will hire Sampson as Brooks replacement?

  25. Default Re: OKC Thunder 2014 - 2015

    Woj is reporting that, despite his statment, that Ollie is still very interested and is Presti's top candidate.
