New Oklahoma City Thunder GM

Post by Flaming Homer »

Hi all, please welcome back Jon (aka emplep7) in a new position as the new GM of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In a surprising move, the Thunder front office decided to replace GM-Legend TJ, who apparently went missing on a trip to the Amazonas, with the just canned Detroit GM emplep7.

Multiple sources were reporting, that the atmosphere in the Detroit team headquarters was beyond toxic and the long time GM was fired right before the draft.
The Oklahoma team, in dire need of someone who can make a pick, went for it and just hope the drama around the former Pistons employee doesn't continue ...

Enjoy my team. I'm sure they will be competitive with you running them.

A lot of young pieces for sure. Wonder what you gave TJ for the Thunder

Well after a long run in Detroit and a great rivalry, it’s good to have you heading west as the East is already tough as hell!
