Fringe benefit of missing the playoffs.  Probably a year or two later than they should've done it.

I feel like this is probably the worst thing to do coming into the last year of Durant's contract. Even if you do somehow find a better coach, how is that instability going to look to Durant next summer?

Wonder if Grantland will do an oral history in twenty years about the "Dynasty that Never Was" like they just did with 90s Orlando.

Brooks really was the problem with that team.  He was a terrible coach.  It was his inability to properly manage the rotation which led to a lot of the trades and moves OKC made over the years.

Well deserved, I wonder who they're going to target to replace him.

Or do they just ask Durant to pick a coach.

yeah. #1 priority has to be pleasing Durant. Would far rather have mediocre coach + Durant than good coach + no Durant

I'd say it's worth a $20 million buyout of Ollie to keep Durant.  And, yeah, I think Kevin Ollie could definitely be that coach.
