I've got an uneasy feeling about this hire. At the very least there will be a steep learning curve between year one and two. And if Durant and/or Westbrook don't stick around, the curve could go on for much longer. The "key" is for Donavan to get KD/Westbrook to buy into his system and Donavan's style/personality. Next year will be huge for everybody involved with that franchise..
I think if they kept Brooks, they would have to win the championship for KD to resign.
With Billy Donovan, there is a little bit of forgiveness in the players eyes....as long as it looks to them as the new coaching style has some serious potential (and with KD/Westbrook healthy, I could coach them to a good record and show "potential")
If Donovan is so bad they miss the playoffs, then that's pretty bad
