神秘小枚秀

Dear Kevin,

After NBA Draft today, I’m so exited to write this letter to share my thoughts with you about your free agent decision this summer. My English is poor so I’ll keep this simple and short.

Oklahoma City is your best place to stay. It’s true, believe me. You’ll get best reputation, loyal fanbase, and a chance to win NBA title with your brother, Russell Westbrook. You have to give coach Billy Donovan at least 2 more years. You are 30 then, it’s not too late if you want to leave.

Imaging the starting lineup including you, Russ, newly acquire Victor Oladipo, Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, and you still have your mentor Nick Collison on the bench, following solid veteran Ersan Ilyasova, and young talents like Dion Waiters, Cameron Payne, Andre Roberson, Mitch McGary, and 11^th pick rookie Domantas Sabonis.

The future with OKC is bright!

Serge Ibaka being traded is bad, but this means GM Sam Presti and Thunder organization use every possibilities to keep team strong. This is your best chance to win NBA title, and it’s not far away.

Washington is OK, but I believe you understand that you better play alongside Russ than John. Wizards is not the team can win championship within 2 years.

Never consider L.A. and New York, espesially Lakers, cause I’m a Sonics fan since 1996, and Lakers is always like the evil rival to me.

Thunder gives you everything, give them back. At least 2 or 3 year commitment please.

Enjoy your interview with other teams, and don’t answer them.

Wish you have a good performance in Rio Olympics. Keep healthy when training camp open in October.

Sincerely yours

Ian, an anonymous blogger and a truly Sonics/Thunder fan in Taiwan. 2016.6.24
