To give each one their own thunder, so to speak.
Order of transactions is important

Just a quick reminder- I don't want Westbrook anywhere near our team. 42% from the field, 30% from 3, 6 TOs a game - MVP my ASS!

They'll be deadly in a few years with Booker, George, LeBron and Hayward (or..Theis?).

I'm actually pretty shocked they gave McDonough an unprompted extension. Here's their record over that time:
48-34
39-43
23-59
24-58
He traded IT for basically nothing, he traded Dragic for a pair of TBD draft picks and nothing else. He traded the Morris brothers and got ultimately a pick that was traded for Chriss and a 2020 draft pick. He failed to get much of any value for PJ Tucker, one of the few interesting trade deadline pieces. His only FA foray was signing an aging Tyson Chandler in a serious overpay, even adjusting for the lift in the cap. His draft picks have been:
1. Alex Len - bust
2. TJ Warren - meh
3. Tyler Ennis - bust
4. Devin Booker - great pick for the slot drafted
5. Dragan Bender - huge question mark
6. Marquess Chriss - looks like a disaster
7. Ulis - nice backup PG
8. Jackson - TBD
I mean, what, exactly about that resume tells you he should be an NBA GM? He drafted Booker - great, but he's a one-way player whose perceived value is a lot higher than his actual impact. Everything else looks like a mess. He's gotten swindled in every big trade he's done. He's turned a nice (if overachieving) 48-win team into a 24 win team that looks to be possibly worse than that this year, all without the treasure trove of assets Ainge/Hinkie acquired in their teardowns.

The same Mook who wound up being traded for Avery Bradley?

Jul 9, 2015 - Marcus Morris was acquired by the Detroit Pistons, along with Reggie Bullock and Danny Granger, from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for a 2020 2nd round pick (DET own).
Yeah, looks like a salary dump.

If he doesn't accept it, then there's a chance he might leave. We all know the Thunder have no chance at bringing George back if Russ is gone. Something to keep an eye on during the season, because I could see Presti hitting the red button and trading both guys at the deadline to jump-start the rebuild.
