All those Sonic banners and stuff are staying in Seattle, and hopefully the Sonics be back soon.
So I guess Oklahoma City finally told their "secret" that they were becoming the Thunder a couple days ago. I think they kept their "secret" terribly because, if you typed in nba.com/thunder then the Oklahoma City page came up and then on the Orlando Magic site, it said that the Magic would be playing the Thunder on their schedule.
The Thunder are probably going to be a little better than last year, since adding Russell Westbrook and Desmond Mason, so I kind of look forward to watching one of their games, just to see h! ow it turns out. Kevin Durant, Chris Wilcox, and Jeff Green will be back again so maybe they won't be too bad.
Here's my idea of their lineup:
Chris Wilcox, C, Move him up to C so you don't have to use Robert Swift or Petro or something
Kevin Durant, PF, He played at this spot in college and he was great, so they should try him here
Jeff Green, SF, Played not too bad last year, one of the team's rising stars
Desmond Mason, SG, Play him and he will do good for you, he was part of the OKC/NOH Hornets back a few years so he will be a fan favorite
Russell Westbrook, PG, Played better than I thought he would in the Summer League
I'm not thinking these guys are going to be a playoff team, but they could if they keep adding more veteran talent like Mason.
