Yep...confirmed. BSPN should have it up in a few minutes.

Wow ... what a terrible decision by OKC GM. Of course, the reason the Thunder haven't won any titles is the terrible Harden decision a few years ago. The GM should have been fired ... with how competitive the West is, and the fact that Durant was gone almost the whole season.

History shows that coaching changes work far less frequently than not. Stability generally breeds success. For every coaching change that goes great, there's a dozen or more that are horror stories.

Just ... *SMH* ... the GM needs to be fired in OKC. If I were Westbrook or Durant, I'd be looking to GTFO at this point. Terrible decisions by the front office in that franchise.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Any time you can fire a coach who is coming off an injury plagued season which dragged his winning percentage down to a horrible 62% ... you gotta pull the trigger, amirite?

Ehh Scott Brooks has had his chances I think. Stability breeds success certainly is true for the majority, but not always the case. Just look at the Warriors as an example this year. Scott Brooks reminds me of Mark Jackson in similar ways, but they're both lacking in the X's and O's of the game. Really depends who OKC finds as their replacement.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

No, if you watch their games, you'll realize that Brooks is an awful coach who can't draw plays and only rely on their superstars to iso.Also, I wouldn't Fire a GM who drafted Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Harden, Jeff Green, and Reggie Jackson all within a few years.

Serge ibaka vs james harden... ya we know which one is more valuable but which one did okc need? Durant +westbrook+harden= disaster. there is simply not enough shots to go around to keep 3 superstars happy. This isn't the 60s. Ibaka on the other hand is an intece rim protecting rebounder which okc needed more than another shooter. It was a smarter move then people give credit for.

In an ironic twist, OKC will hire Mark Jackson!

And let go of Harden rather than pay him and have a team with 3 players among the 2-3 best at their positions in the league. The Thunder would be a dynasty if they had kept Harden.

But scapegoat the coach. Thunder are a sinking ship. KD and Westbrook are gonna flee as soon as they can. Look up their contracts and see when they can go and I would bet you credits for whatever year that is that they're gonna go ... unless the front office pulls in some major coaching talent and also gets them someone as good or better than Harden to make up for that ridiculous mistake (Which even Simmons had the foresight to predict was going to be a disastrous move).

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Scott Presiti is one of the best GMs in the game. Check his draft record. The ownership is extremely cheap and pushed the harden trade for future cap space. Brooks is a terrible x's and o's coach but is a good player coach. Its not his fault the season got derailed by injury but okcs ceiling is only so high with him at the helm. Kinda like Mark Jackson last yr.

You do realize that Harden didn't show up in the Finals the year before? Or that there was no way to keep all those players with salary cap restrictions. It's not as illogical as you think. GM's have much more to consider than we do as fans.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Scott Brooks had to go. I felt it since last years playoff between the Thunder and the Spurs. Mostly isolation plays for Durant... and when the Spurs were denying him the ball, OKC had no choice but to let Durant get the ball from the inbound and take it half court.

Because you know ... Durant + Westbrook + Ibaka + Harden totally would have sucked. The Spurs have demonstrated that if you can get your players to dedicate themselves to each other and to winning, there's no need to worry about who is getting the shots.

and Scott Brooks did a horrible job at that.

You only get very rare chances to take a franchise to dynasty levels. They should have kept Harden and paid the luxury tax for a couple years. The owners had deep enough pockets to steal the franchise from Seattle, but they wouldn't roll the dice with the upside being a dynasty along the lines of the 90's Bulls or the Spurs since '99?

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

It's all from the game's spreadsheet that you can find on here...I just did some extra calculations.

Total XP needed for Star: 15000 (approx)
Total XP needed for Star Pro: 18500 (approx)

Experience gained from training fully trained...
Epic: 6116
UR Pro: 6180
UR: 4341
SR: 2930
R: 1848
U: 1049
CP: 1053

You can combine them however you want to add up to those Star numbers above.

Can you post the link to the spreadsheet you got this XP information from? I am having trouble locating it, sorry.
