His first NBA gig. He walked into a pretty good situation with Durant and Westbrook. I hate mercenaries like Larry Brown who have 27 teams on their NBA resume. Billy sticks it out, but he may have stuck this one out a tad long.

Yep he had his one chance that year they blew the lead in the playoffs. He won't get another one there.

If his future depends on team success based on the leadership of Russell Westbrook he may as well start packing for a new location now.

Russ has issues but Billy has his own issues. I'm not an OKC fan but personally I think they should move on from Billy this offseason.

Fab Five wants a Fab Five member. I can only imagine the clock management if they hired Webber.

White isn't a star coach so he had no chance either...

As I said I would report back on OKC. I unfortunately did not get to meet with Billy D but I saw their arena everyday, and scolded all the Thunder fans I could for stealing him away. The downtown area is really nice. The locals said since the Thunder moved in 2008 the area has blown up. I was impressed with the downtown area. They also have a really nice AAA ballpark for the Dodgers AAA team. It's a big baseball town as Mickey Mantel and Johnny Bench are from OKC. My hotel was on Flaming Lips Alley (they are from OKC). And across the street from the stadium is a restaurant called Fuzzy's Taco Shop (comment as you desire :)).

I didn't see the rest of the city, so it could be an absolute dump.

So is Billy coming back or nah?
If he comes back to college, you can damn sure bet he will go somewhere that the primary impediment to building a championship team isnt your own AD's office.
