Breaking: Thunder hire Billy Donovan as new Coach

[poido123]

Billy who?

Check.

[lilandywiggins]

In before he changes his mind.

[jimmybball]

Good hire

[IncarceratedBob]

Rumors are that Al Horford wants to play for his college coach, says Donovan is like a 2nd father to him. Scary once OKC gets him

[Xoush]

Is he good? Can LeGM get him?

Billy Donovan is signing a five-year contract with the Thunder, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

It's official, mother****ers. 3peat on the way.

Risky move for a team ready to win now.

What's so risky about hiring one of the smartest minds in the basketball world with the ability to manage egos and recruit elite NBA talent. Al Horford will demand a trade to the Thunder this offseason likely because of this hire. That's huge.

Alright, I guess we'll take Westbrook for him. You might have to throw in a pick to sweeten the deal though.

There's always a risk when a college coach transitions to the pros for the first time. Donovan's mentor Petino fit your description, as well. Not saying he can't do it, but we don't know, and OKC's window isn't staying open forever.

[TylerOO]

Never heard of him

Billy Donovan is arguably the greatest leader in sports history...

I wish people would keep their idiotic opinions to themselves..

Anyone who doesn't think this is a fantastic move is A F[COLOR="Black"]UCK[/COLOR]ING RETARD. Just people who don't understand life.

Stop bringing up other coaches who failed at the NBA level. You can't "fail" with Durant/Westbrook. If you don't trust Billy Donovan to get OKC over the hump then you really don't understand people. Can't distinguish who's great and who's not, so you people might as well just not post because most of you are socially rejected losers.

Love injured, Spurs winning, Perkins off OKC, new head coach for OKC..

I'm officially on suicide watch

OKC loses in the first round, KD leaves.


Budadii: fire Donovan!
