Rylan Stiles (@Rylan_Stiles On Twitter) updates you on the Oklahoma City Thunder searching for their next head coach! Kenny Atkinson is out, as he joins Ty Lue's Clippers staff. Rylan Stiles thinks college coaches are out as the college hoops season gets underway in under a month. The Thunder have shown they do not like hiring "proven" or "retread" NBA Coaches so that leaves the OKC Thunder with their eyes on current NBA Assistant coaches? Who are the top Assistant coaches available? Becky Hammon, Adrian Griffin, Wes Unseld Jr, Stephen Silas, David Vanterpool, and Will Hardy come to mind. Rylan Stiles also dives into the 2020-21 NBA season, is Christmas Locked in? Will the salary cap move? How the Luxury tax favoring the Lakers could also benefit the Thunder. Have NBA teams already signed NBA Free Agents in the 2020 class under the table? In the final segment a fake trade is thrown out by a listener: Patty Mills and the 11th pick for Dennis Schroder and the 25th pick.
