Do you really think Donovan wants to run such a crappy offense? What do you think would happen if Donovan wants to control Westbrook? Make him shoot less, make him ditch the 3s etc. Maybe bench him when he abandon the playbook and plays like crap?
You can count until 3 and WB is with the GM/owner and has Donovans ass fired.

The relationship that really matters, however, is Westbrook’s and Donovan’s. Publicly, Westbrook has praised Donovan, crediting him for being “nothing but great” for himself and the organization. But I keep hearing rumblings that Westbrook’s faith has waned in Donovan, and close observers this season have caught several curious in-game moments between coach and star that make you wonder. If the relationship is fractured, Donovan’s done. It’s hard for any coach to survive three straight first-round exits, and if there’s trouble brewing between that coach and his biggest star then that coach has no chance of survival. –
