Scott Brooks isn’t going anywhere period! It amazing to me of how many people want Brooks gone. He is a big part of the success that the Thunder are having. He has helped build this team so allow him to help finish the job that he has started. The plan is to have a team that will sustain and that takes time, because they have to work with youth and develop them. Think back to RW first year and how far alone he has come. Before then he had never played PG and now look at him. That took some really good coaching and developing. Realize, that this is Brooks first experence as a head coach in the nba. I assure you that he is trying to learn how to be a great coach just as much as the player are learning to be great players. Just be patient with him.

Yes good move…but our next move might be to get a head coach that can get it done. The jury is out on Brooks and his rotations and play designing. I keep repeating, I like Brooks, but I think he’s vastly overrated as a head coach. If he doesn’t push the right buttons with this roster, he may need to go. I guarantee you there are some great coaches who would love to have this gig in OKC.

So you trade for a guy who has played all of 12 games this year, immediately sits out 3 weeks with an injury, and then sign him to a long term deal – Genius!

Agreed completely. Presti is a genius is a common refrain amongst Thunder bloggers like myself.
