According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports:
What’s more, Brooks is still working to solidify his own future as Oklahoma City coach. GM Sam Presti wants him back when his contract expires at the end of the Finals, but league sources say Presti has offered a three-year deal worth just under $11 million that Brooks and his agent weren’t willing to accept in the past. They’ve set aside talks for the playoffs, and compromise could come with a guaranteed fourth year. The Thunder needed to see Brooks take one more step with this young team before committing too far into the long term, and Brooks delivered with a conference final victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
I would put the chances of Brooks returning next year, regardless of what happens the next two weeks, at around 99 percent. There’s posturing going on, and rightfully so. The better the Thunder do, the higher the price tag is. But Brooks doesn’t want to go anywhere else and I doubt the Thunder have their eye on a different coach.
Wow. Are you guys serious? We're in the finals and we've improved every year to get there. Coaches get better as they gain experience, just like players do. And you can't undervalue the fact that Durant and Westbrook respect him. You're crazy if you think those two guys are going to blame coaching if we end up losing the Finals.
lets save that money and resign ibaka and harden
Every day that goes by without an extension is more hope from me that he will be gone next year.
i think its the years not the money thats the problem, the team wants the option to give durant/westbrook a different coach if we dont win.
My question is "How in the world is Wojnarowski releasing this story?" The Thunder front office lets it out to a Yahoo sports writer and not local? It smells fishy to me
Phil Jackson!
None of us want Scott Brooks back. He needs to be fired. Please like this page!

@calebli It's okay I wont be passing up on this.
@calebli Pass.
smh. I don't care what he's "achieved" with this team, I still don't want him back.
However, if it's 3 years for a total of 11 mil (3.66ish a year), that puts him just above league average. I personally believe he's an average to slightly below average coach, so at least he wouldn't be getting drastically overpaid. But if he gets any more of a raise, I'm going to be pretty disappointed in our FO, and even more disappointed if it's a raise coupled with a 4th year.
if phil jackson wants 10 min and brooks wont take 11 hmmmmmm :P
@Legendary_dork Isiah, is that you?
