The Billy Donovan to Oklahoma City rumors are starting to heat up even more. After an earlier report that the job was basically his to lose, ESPN is reporting that the Florida Gators head coach is leaning towards accepting the opportunity to coach Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

I have no doubt that Donovan will be a great NBA head coach, but if he accepts the position, he has exactly 12 months to convince Kevin Durant not to skip town and turn this whole gig upside down.
