    If OKC can't get something out this guy, then no one can.

    Well he's still young and cheap, can't do wrong with signing a 7'3 athletic C for peanuts.

    He just needs a coach who can get him to play hard, maybe that is Brooks.

    Would rather Cole Aldrich get more playing time.

    OKC front office are either good drafters or their coaching personnel are amazing at bringing out potential.

    They've drafted Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Serge Ibaka and three out of the four are guaranteed all stars with Serge being a potential DPOY.

    You might say, oh well they tanked to get those picks. True. But not every high-level pick is a successful one. If Perry Jones and Hasheem Thabeet turn out to be serviceable or even GREAT this season, then Miami is in trouble.

    IIRC, there was a rumor that OKC was in the mix for Thabeet from Memphis when Houston traded for him. :(

    The dude wasn't the 2nd overall pick in 2009 for nothing. He's got some talent, and can maybe play to those talents in the right situation and under the right coach.
