The financial stuff just hit a nerve with me. In all honesty, the guy didn’t have bad things to say about the Thunder, with the exception of the obligatory dig at Clay.

The strength of our organization is that we have one vocal guy (Bennett) and many minority owners that comprise a financially stable environment. Did this writer forget that OKC has been lauded as a recession proof city? Aubry had the worst year, no?

I hope that we get this C2S thing squared away and start work on that park, cuz starting next season we are gonna be nipping at the the heels of champions and are gonna need a place to celebrate our shiny, golden O'Brien! And that won't be a possibility then, if we aren't thrifty now, so those calling us "cheap" need to recognize the "quality" that we are producing. BTW, (in reference to starting 5), how did the Yankees 200MM payroll fare against the Rays last season whose payroll was less than a quarter of that? Shoot, just the left side of their infield made as much!

I'm guessing Paul Allen, Jerry Buss and Dan Gilbert don't keep their money stuff in mattresses. Nobody seems to consider that the Thunder made money, and the owners made substantially more from basketball revenues than they did in the two seasons prior to coming to Oklahoma City. The Thunder's offseason moves - or lack of, depending on your perspective - had nothing to do with the owner's personal finances. The plain and simple truth is that there weren't many players available who fit the Thunder's needs. They've (hopefully) addressed the need for a perimeter shooter, and they've improved their bench substantially. To knock an organization for doing those things in a fiscally responsible way is ludicrous. Someone tell me a single NBA owner that hasn’t taken a hit financially in the past year?

Granted my blog doesn't really compare to this one, or the other Truehoop blogs. I started it after the season was over, and the posts since June have been sporadic (something I attribute to the lack of NBA news and school starting). Hopefully, as we get closer to the season, I will be able to spend more time on it. @Royce

It's not real in-depth (none of the team previews are that detailed, basically been making posts to pass the time), but it does have a good analogy comparing the Thunder to a s'mores sandwich. As for the age limit, I've got to agree with Etan Thomas, though my reasons for being against it are probably different than pretty much everyone else.
