Scott Brooks, Kendrick Perkins to return to OKC

[russwest0]

Sam Presti just said it in a radio interview he had in OKC. If I find a link of it I will post it. I'm also sure some have said it on twitter.

Anyways, Sam Presti is ****ing up big time here. Expect the same playoff results next year for OKC. A potential first or second round exit, and if bailed out by talent alone in those rounds then a WCF exit.

Edit: twitter sources confirming this

@anthonyVslater
Sam Presti said using the amnesty on Kendrick Perkins has 'not been considered' at this point.

@anthonyVslater
Sounds like it's been decided: Scott Brooks will be back with the Thunder.

What's the word on Brooks?

[Rocketswin2013]

The most conservative franchise I've ever seen.

[Lebronxrings]

can't wait for the meltdowns next year.

Sounds like he believes in Durant and Westbrook to get it done. Big mistake.

Scott Brooks should not return.

[russwest0]

He also said that he has "no plans to trade Reggie Jackson" which many thought was a strong possibility after Reggie in his exit interview was being vocal about wanting to be a starter and run the show.

And for those who truly care this much, it appears OKC isn't bringing over dominant Euroleague prospect Tibor Pleiss this year either.

Basically a whole lot of bad news for OKC fans.

Scott Brooks should not return.

Right?

Dude had Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Jackson, Adams, Lamb, Jones, Collison, etc, this year in the playoffs, all with plenty of continuity playing together and OKC still only went 10-9 in the postseason and got outscored overall.

We might as well fast forward to next year when iso ball gets OKC eliminated again, only difference is Durant will only have 1 more year on his contract.

No excuses.....

[Fudge]

I'm not even surprised.

**** Sam Presti and the FO.

Give Brooks a chance doe. Might incorporate some real offense this season.

[NumberSix]

No excuses.

Been hearing this same shit for years. Even heard like 3 years ago rumors that OKC was starting to learn a zone defense, something we still have never seen once to this day, so that was obvious bullshit.

Well, it wouldn't be out of the question for Jackson to start at PG and Westbrook to start at SG.

Keeping Brooks is a huge mistake though. Perkins as well, but there's not much they can do about him. No teams want him and in all likelihood, he'll be coming off the bench for Adams sometime during next season. Silverback no more.
