Still No Contract For Coach Brooks

Chuck Chaney July 1, 2012 Comments Off

Despite conflicting reports that Scott Brooks and the Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a contract agreement, there is no actual contract agreement. Many reports saying that the two sides have agreed upon a 4-year contract worth northern of 4 million dollars.

Earlier today at the introduction of new rookie, Perry Jones III, general manager, Sam Presti, said that Brooks and him have been in “continous” talks. Both sides have made it very apparent they want to come to an agreement.

As of 5pm CST today, there was a report that Oklahoma City and Brooks had come to an agreement, and were just working on the smaller details.

Then minutes later. Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated said, there was no deal, but lots of progress.

Later on in the evening, there was a report by David Aldridge of NBA.com, saying there was an agreement, but then…

about 10:50 CST, The Daily Oklahoman’s John Rohde, reported that Brooks texted saying “Things are looking good.”

There was an ESPN report about 10:44 that there was a report of a contract agreement, but the Daily Oklahoman report nulifies that.

So, that’s where we are now. Don’t assume just because he’s not the coach now, he won’t be tomorrow. We could all wake up and there be an agreement. So, calm your nerves and have faith that Presti the Great will get it done again.

I founded this site in May of 2011. It started out as a way to vent a lot of my thoughts on the Thunder in the 2011 Playoffs. However, people loved what I had to say and I watched my personal twitter grow from people wanting more Thunder knowledge. I was the Sports Editor at Eastern Oklahoma State College, also wrote for the OU Daily. I’ve had my work posted on USA today, Yahoo! Sports and ESPN.com. I give a fan’s perspective while being knowledgeable, but I’m real. It’s not all candy and rainbows, I’ll call a player out if they’re not living up to the team’s expectations. So, bring your big boy pants and let’s Thunder Up!
