OKC Thunder and Scott Brooks Far Apart On Contract Negotiations

[Clippersfan86]

"Darnell Mayberry: There is growing speculation that the Thunder & coach Scott Brooks are far apart on a contract extension and the holdup could led to a split"


"The reality is that Brooks and his bosses, after months of talks, don't have a deal ... and time is running out. And sources say that the Thunder, just to be safe, have started brainstorming in-house about whom they plan to pursue should negotiations with Brooks collapse. Two names, according to sources, that have come up in those discussions: ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy and, yes, 11-ringed coaching free agent Phil Jackson."

He had some questionable moves in the Finals, and maybe they would benefit from someone better anyway.

Didnt he turn down 3 years 11 million? How much does he really expect to get you're a head coach, take the 3+ million a year and shut up.

Funny thing is Clippers wanted Brooks... and he may very well be out of a job... but they just gave Vinny the year option SMH.

He lost to Eric ****ing Spolestra. For this, he should face the firing squad.

Such utter disrespect for Spo.....he's a much better coach than you guys are giving him credit for. He may not be the best motivator, but when it comes to game-to-game adjustments in the playoffs, he's proven himself.

A lot of people expect utter domination with a team with that much star level talent. That's why.

You put Spo in the same category as Pop in one post.

[Cal827]

I'm just playing around with Spolestra... Del Negro is the worst coach out there right now.
