Scott Brooks tried it. So did Billy Donovan.
Getting the ball to move in Oklahoma City? Easier said than done.
Four years ago, when Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant were sidelined by injuries, Brooks installed more of a motion offense to help the Thunder while it missed its elite individual talents.
Donovan wants that player motion and ball movement, too, which is why his most frustrated moments as a Thunder coach have come when his yells of “Move it!” from the sidelines don't have their desired impact.
Three seasons of playoff qualification but back-to-back campaigns of swift first-round exits have left questions about if Donovan is the right coach for the Thunder.
