Fantasy Impact:
Next season is the final one of his contract and his seat has gotten a little warm once the team missed the playoffs after getting in for the last five years. It's not quite fair, though, as the Thunder would've been a substantially better team with a healthy Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, and Kevin Durant. Our guess is that they'd have to bring him back and give him a second chance, chocking up the lost season due to health problems. The Thunder at full strength are a championship contender, but even one guy playing out of his mind wasn't enough to propel the team into the postseason in the difficult Western Conference.
