If a change comes, University of Florida coach Billy Donovan could emerge as a serious candidate to coach Oklahoma City, league sources said. Presti has a longstanding friendship with Donovan, a two-time national championship coach who has been open about his interest in moving to the NBA.

Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie would be a candidate for the Thunder's coaching job if it opens, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Ollie was a teammate with Durant and Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City and he's an individual whom Presti holds in high esteem.

They really should consider hiring a decent team physician and physical therapist.

Getting Mike D'antoni would an upgrade, let alone Ollie.

Seems like a no brainer move, but it will not happen.

This obvy isn't going to happen. They're at least gonna let him play out all of next year.

Really, KD's decision to stay is gonna weigh in a lot into whether they retain him or not. Also, the other way around.

It sucks. KD loves Brooks.

After the injuries and they nearly make the playoffs anyways in the extremely tough Western Conference? It seems like a bad move to me. :hammerhead:

They're not gonna fire him...yet.

They'll want to see what Brooks can do with all of the new pieces they've just acquired with a healthy Durant and Ibaka back in the line-up. If he fails again next season, then I think he'll be ushered out the door for sure. A fully healthy Thunder team with this roster should be DEADLY.

Keep Brooks and start prepping the team for next year NOW. Make being healthy #1, get everyone on the same page #2, lock and load any more pieces they can get their hands on for #3 and go all out for it in 2016.

About time. They actually need a guy like D'Antoni as an assistant coach to help them get a movement oriented offense rather than iso ball.

Given their clogged toilet offensive schemes, surprised Gentry isn't in the mix, though he does have a kinda important playoff run ahead of him right now. Thibs, with D'Antoni as lead assistant, would be a big improvement over Brooks right now, too.

I always felt like they should've never given him this contract to begin with...some of the stuff he did was good, like letting Harden, Westbrook and Durant enough space to develop. But even then you could see the problems they're having now and Brooks was OK with it.

Not gonna happen. Brooks will still be coaching that team in 20 years :lol
