Not sure if this had already been discussed but I've seen this rumour pop up in numerous news sources today.

Even though he's young, I could see him really getting into Westbrook and bringing out the best in him.

He would be an upgrade, but I would want more NBA experience.

A motivational speaker with just a few years of experience would be an upgrade.

We should just stick Brooks with good offensive and defensive assistants like the Warriors did with Kerr and not risk upsetting any harmony, especially the season before Kd becomes a free agent.

I'm not the biggest fan of Brooks but it is foolish to criticize him hard on this season, barely at any point this season did he have a consistent lineup and the one he would of spent time constructing the offensive and defensive systems in training camp with.

Our defensive system consists of strong help, high pressure and a lot of gambling which is anchored by Ibaka to cover mistakes, with so many different lineups used and new players during the season it's hard to judge.

Our offense was also one of the best in the league with so many injuries and barely any KD. That's pretty impressive.

Terrible post. OKC's offense was only so good due to talent. Westbrook was just beasting, ISOing and doing whatever he wanted. Brooks has nothing to do with that.. and haven't you had a large enough sample size to judge Brooks by now? This year is irrelevant.. he's had many years of being outclassed.

OKC would be in the playoffs if they had a better coach like Jason Kidd or Mike Budenholzer. Both those guys have been able to maximize their teams potential and make their teams great on defense.
Turning role players in to defensive stoppers.

Would actually be fun to see what Coach Bud would do with Enes Kanter and Dion Waiters.

a bum from the street would've made no coaching difference and it would've saved OKC some 3 million a year, good enough to keep harden..
