    Great Hire. I've always liked Donovan. Crazy how he's leaving Florida.

    As long as they didn't hire Thibs or Pops, I'm relieved.

    God I hope so!

    Durant should force a trade to Portland.

    ;)

    We should've rooted for Thibs... Westbrook and Durant would be on the IR for the playoffs lol

    What am I missing? Is he like an offensive mastermind or something?

    Being a good recruiter doesn't really help much in the nba does it? Free agency?

    I don't get it.

    There's a decent chance Donovan will be coaching a 20 win team in a few years.

    He got hired to win now, they have a one year window most likely. And he has zero NBA experience correct?

    He's a name. That's about it. Reminds me of when the Celtics hired Pitino.

    Hope he's not allergic to the smell of steer manure and understands Westbrook will be coaching during games
