Former Thunderer Eric Maynor joined Kevin Arnovitz on an episode of TrueHoop TV and discussed being traded, what his conversation was like with Sam Presti that day, playing for OKC and what it was like being Russell Westbrook’s teammate.
Maynor on Westbrook: “Great person. Great person off the court. People don’t understand he’s just a true competitor on the court. But off the court, he’s just a great dude.”
Maynor’s role in Portland so far has been similar to what he did in OKC the past few years. He’s a backup to a young point guard, playing around 15 minutes a game or so and called upon to be a change-of-pace kind of guy.
It’s obviously a much better situation for him because he’s seeing time. For a guy that was near and dear to a lot of Thunder fans’ hearts, it’s a little odd to see him somewhere else, but for Maynor, and really the Thunder too, definitely for the best.

Any news on Brewer and DFish suiting up tonight?
@neo12 they should both suit up ... hopefully fish doesn't play unless with PJ3 and lamb
I cant even argue against lebron being the MVP, KD started hot and fizzled out again lebron is having one of the best seasons ever. he's on another level by himself right ow/
@Lost Ones Durant didn't fizzle out LeBron just started to go crazy. Durant's still having one of teh best scoring seasons.
@[censored] Durant needed to take it to the next step somewhere outside of scoring he didnt.
@Lost Ones Your posting has fizzled out. <- Proper use.
@MJOKC @[censored] yup, its almost to the point im starting to doubt either hes injured or not putting 100% into every game.
@[censored] you need a nap man
@Lost Ones No he didn't. He was statistically superior to LeBron for most of the early season. LeBron has just gone nuts. Had LeBron not gone nuts Durant would have the MVP with the season he's having.
You're saying Durant 'fizzled out' - my interpretation of that statement is 'Durant got worse'.
@Lost Ones I would rather it be lebron than melo or chris paul.
@f5alcon @Lost Ones I would rather 'Melo over Lebron
@KidCanada13 Why, he doesn't deserve it, his numbers are not as good as durants
@Lost Ones Its between him or Carmelo.
Probably Lebron...Miami Heat would score 35 points in a 4 quarters if Lebron couldnt play.

Comment on anything you please...except mine. Thanks!
@MJOKC @<--- E-Thug @PKBOB @[censored]
I never talk shyt. Real face, real talk. I gotta be abrasive when yall call me everything from asinine to hoodrat. None of you know me.
::check please::
@MJOKC @<--- E-Thug @PKBOB @[censored] @Lost Ones Yea...its the internet but guess what...Its not the first time yall disrespected me...nor will it be the last...
I'm the only one up here with my face on the avi -- cuz I dont gotta pretend or hide. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
@MJOKC @<--- E-Thug @PKBOB @[censored] @Lost Ones This is as you tell it....
@MJOKC @PKBOB @[censored] @Lost Ones Exactly... I'm a "skeezer" that posts mostly crap, whose lost all credibility because I don't think Nick Collison walks on water...
hmm what else...oh ya...something about a BJ and some other mess....
Have I left anything out?
@MJOKC @PKBOB @[censored] @Lost Ones You notice ...Im not saying nor in any post on this thread that I never declared that Carmelo is better than anyone. This is my point.
I am not a Lebron Fan, I'm not a Carmelo fan in the slightest, and KD hasnt been playing well as of late. I simply said...if not KD then Carmelo and Lebron.
Please ... how bout you dont comment on my stuff from now on.
@MJOKC @PKBOB @[censored] @Lost Ones
Dearest MJ... did I use the word "better" or rank anyone higher than another? NO. I didnt. It was INFERRED. WHY? Because there is a bias towards KD -- that any other mention of another 3 (other than Lebron who just beat KD for a ring), means I think prefer him over another.
I DO NOT. Someone said KD dropped out because he's "disappeared" basic logic says the other people in line move up. That would be Carmelo that would Tony...
You're bias towards KD (which is perfectly fine because this is a THUNDER BLOG) makes any other player mentioned absurd.
BIAS.
::check please::
@MJOKC @PKBOB @[censored] @Lost Ones Do you?
@MJOKC @PKBOB @[censored] @Lost Ones
AGAIN...
http://www.nba.com/mvp-ladder/2012-13/index.html
I'm not biased.
@[censored] @<--- E-Thug @MJOKC @Lost Ones Media Hype = Carmelo as distant third
@<--- E-Thug @MJOKC @Lost Ones Carmelo is a tier below. He's below CP3 for sure IMO and probably Duncan.
@[censored] @MJOKC @Lost Ones Did I say there was a justification for anything...
Carmelo is part of the top creme of the crop whether you guys want to admit to it or not. I can...because i respect all of them.
@Lost Ones @MJOKC whaaaaaaaat?
@<--- E-Thug @MJOKC different betweenbeing a MVP candidate and MVP selection
@<--- E-Thug @MJOKC @Lost Ones Being in the Top 3 or 4 doesn't make you an MVP 'candidate'. There's no justification for putting Carmelo ahead of Durant or LeBron. He's a very distant third, if he is even third.
@MJOKC @<--- E-Thug @Lost Ones I dont suppose you watch much of Carmelo and the Knicks to even make this an issue. None of the other blogs when they do the rankings are even making a joke of this. He is an MVP candidate...He is in the top 3 or 4 depending on the source.
Its ridiculous if this is even questionable to you
@MJOKC @<--- E-Thug @Lost Ones No...it actually hasnt.
But you're biased. Keep on keeping on tho.
@MJOKC @<--- E-Thug @Lost Ones Whats the joke. Its been between Carmelo, KD, and Lebron this whole year....
am i missing something?
@<--- E-Thug carmelo? LOL
@Lost Ones Its all good, let lebron have the MVP. Gladly sacrifice that for a championship in OKC..

@MJOKC Im an huge lebron hater he's on his own level right now
@Lost Ones @MJOKC Yeah I know, he is amazing and leading the league in scoring plus shooting over 50%FG, 40%3FG, and 90%FT.
All Hail the King!
National sports media can't go 5 minutes without mentioning Lebrons name.
This is getting out of control. Yesterday all the talk about the Lebron dunk in warm ups and now the latest is about how Lebron is faster in the 40 than Manti Teo.
@Skyline Apparently, a lot of people are faster than Manti Teo.
@SoonerSpens But according to ESPN nobody is faster than Lebron.
@Skyline @SoonerSpens no what im saying is it depends on the distance.
@Lost Ones @SoonerSpens If the race is on ESPN, Lebron is faster. Or if Nike is involved again Lebron is faster.
@SoonerSpens @Skyline Bolt faster then lebron? depends on where they running from.
@Skyline It's k, Usain Bolt is faster than Bron AND he can dunk (even if he has to travel first).
@Skyline He's having an all time season. It's going to be talked about.
@Skyline MVP wrapped up
@Lost Ones NFL MVP too, no doubt!
@Lost Ones @Skyline Definitely, definitely.
@Skyline He is truly amazing. You need to get over yourself.

@MJOKC @Skyline I'm glad. The world is better when taken a bit less serious.
@MJOKC @Skyline I retracted it. It's all fun and games. Don't mean to stoke any fires.
