I mean, for all of the things that you can bash Sam Presti and Clay Bennett about, you're really going to whine about Eric Maynor and Daequan Cook? Really?! A guy who lost his spot to Reggie Jackson and Cook, who is completely replaceable and currently played himself to the pine in Chicago? This article also conveniently leaves out the existence of Jeremy Lamb and the #12 pick who could serve as supporting cast or ways to improve the roster.

Also, whether anyone likes it or not, there are two realities for up-and-coming teams. A) They can't keep their supporting cast together if they are any good and B) after the first taste of playoff success, they aren't going to give a shit about the regular season. They all become less fun to watch during the season. If he wanted to point out an issue, call out Durant for becoming more of a prima donna this season and whining too much about calls.

The Thunder will never have a third wheel as good as Harden but to act like they are somehow doomed from here on in and can't improve from this season is kind of ridiculous.
