Spreading the Thunder to NBA fans in China

I blogged yesterday about the Chinese website contacting me for information on the Thunder. Today, I’ll share the answers I sent to China:

1.       How do you evaluate the team’s performance this season? With the full mark at 10, how much will you credit for the thunder? 

I think this season was a 6. This season never was about winning. It always was about building for the future, and after the rough start, the Thunder certainly improved and set themselves up for great improvement. The coaching obviously was a problem early, but Scott Brooks seemed to stabilize things. The Thunder found its point guard of the future in Russell Westbrook, a defensive stopper in Sefolosha, a budding star in Jeff Green and a budded star in Kevin Durant. On top of that, the Thunder found a center, Krstic, on the scrap heap, and found three young players that at least have a chance to contribute: Weaver, White and Livingston. I think it was a very fruitful season, notwithstanding.

2.       What do you think will be the major tasks in the free agent market this summer for Sam Presti?
