The Head Coach candidates: who should the Thunder select to lead the franchise forward?

In early September, Billy Donovan and the Oklahoma City agreed to mutually part ways. Donovan did not want to coach through rebuild and preferred other job opportunities which would allow him to coach a contender.

It was an amicable separation for Coach Donovan and the Thunder. Billy leaves Oklahoma City with a lot of goodwill and I am sure that the love is reciprocated. Billy genuinely seemed to love his time in Oklahoma City.

Donovan’s legacy in Oklahoma City is mixed. He did not win a championship when he had Durant and Westbrook at his disposal.
