Just one guy, but if you live around here you know that most of the fanbase is clueless how the NBA works. Oklahoma has always been a college sports state (specifically football) and a lot of fans just don't quite get it. The fans here are passionate as ****, but when it comes to the NBA, not very bright. No NBA here until 12 years ago to be fair, and most of those spent as a contender, so the fans are spoiled. This death threat guy probably thinks Presti broke up next years champion.

Pretty much everyone receives death threats. It's a fact of life in a digital world. I'm kind of surprised he never received them before but thinking about it more you can sort of assume he did he just needs some positive PR ATM.

Speaking of ex and parents, my friend's ex and his parents sent me a death threat.

... George, is that you?

The guy making death threats was from Virginia, but please, carry-on.

Ahh. Consider my statement still true but less relevant then.

Not excusing death threats, but look at it from the perspective of a Thunder fan from about ten years ago. With the addition of Harden, I'll bet many OKC fans were thinking about multiple championships for the next ten years. Durant,Westbrook, and Harden....the greatest amount of firepower in three persons in league history. Even after losing to Miami in the '12 finals their hopes were probably sky high.
All hopes shortly dashed. Twas not to be.

3 MVP players drafted, few other good picks and still no ring. It certainly ain’t easy

I have to believe if Harden hadn't jumped ship after season '12, OKC would have been in few more finals, and Durant might not have left. Without Harden, just not enough firepower to get by SA and GS.

Only a moron is just now figuring out OKC’s title window closed. Trading Westbrook actually sped up the process for the next generation of thunder players who will try to compete for a championship. There were some disappointments, no doubt. However, nothing from the last 3 seasons was really crushing.
