Thunder-Struck - GM Von Jenkins (NBA 2K13)

[Von Jenkins]

Ok City, OK - The Oklahoma City Thunder have found their new general manager, Von Jenkins. Von is known around the community of Oklahoma City as a shrewd businessman. Jenkins does not have any experience with the duties of being a general manager. However, most people believe Jenkins does not need to make any personnel moves. We will be keeping an eye on the Thunder and how well Jenkins can keep the Thunder relevant. Keep Durant and Westbrook happy and the Thunder should at the very least be competitive.

(I plan on simulating the rest of the season to work through the off-season.)

(I simulated season not really believing the Thunder would win it all. Really surprised that they swept the Heat. I don't believe that it would really happen.)

OK City, OK -
Jenkins hires two new Prospect Scouts - Kirk Fowler and Seth Henderson. The Thunder also hired a new trainer - Jamie McCloud. Surprisingly, Maurice Cheeks has been relieved of his duties and replaced by Edgar House. Who in the world is Edgar House? Thunder fans may not be all that happy with recent moves by Jenkins. Lucky for Jenkins, the Thunder are coming off winning a NBA title.
