The Thunder are going to have to decide what to do with interim coach Scott Brooks this offseason, and Kevin Durant has some advice for general manager Sam Presti.
"I believe that [management] will make the right decision," Durant said. "I have [Brooks's] back, but I'm not the type of guy that will go in the office to tell them what to do. But I want him to be back as our coach of the future."
Durant believes that Brooks is the right coach to help put the Thunder on the NBA map.
"I'm still trying to establish my team," Durant said. "They don't think about Oklahoma City. But hopefully, they'll take a look at us."
