Officially: The Thunder has parted ways (wink wink) with Scott Brooks....And there was much rejoicing

Injuries killed him in recent years

He's a good coach and will be a hot commodity. He will find a new home very soon.

Presti should have fired the guy who traded the league MVP for 77 games of Kevin Martin, Steven Adams and Jeremy Lamb.

Solid coach, but not a great coach. As long as Russell Westbrook is in OKC they wont win anything.

This may be true, but him and durant make a great combo and I don't think durant can find a better 1,2 if they can agree it isnt 1,1

Not if that guy is more concerned with being called MVP than Champ

First, I'm not sure why you believe Harden cares more about MVPs than rings. Second, even if that were true, you never trade a dollar for 4 quarters in the NBA. I'm not even sure you could argue OKC got 4 quarters.

Carmelo has proven time and time again that a dollar is not always a dollar. If you dont play defense, you aint worth that dollar you want others to think you are.

He's an okay coach and nothing more. It take a special coach to win the NBA with a small market team. My main complaint with Brooks was too many cookie cutter lineups and the inability to adjust.

Sounds cool but Harden is 1 of the best players in the world so I dunno what your point is.

Maybe the Rockets should deal him while other people think he is good?

I get it, but I don't think this was the right season to do it.
I think the million dollar question is did the Thunder let him go so they can get someone who can win a championship, or did they let him go to keep Durant? If they hire UConn's Ollie I think we'll have our answer.

Harden's a better defender than Melo according to advanced statistics. Harden led the NBA in estimated wins added this season. Want to guess where Adams, Martin and Lamb were?

Terrible coach... his success came from his players ability to create one their own.. not because his x&o's

To me, that's why he's the MVP. Look at the injuries Hou had this season. I mean pretty much the entire starting lineup minus Harden has been out for extended periods this year. Without Harden they are hoping their ping pong ball comes out #1.
