Something must be wrong with these web jobs with NBA.com This is the fifth team to advertise this position in the last few months.

The others: Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks.

I'll find out more. I have a high school buddy who works on a NBA team's site, and not the one's listed.

UPDATE: My buddy said that several teams are expanding, but there is a lot of turnover as well. With preseason starting soon, it could be that the teams want better Web content.

The reason the OKC job is open is because the guy who did it when they were in Seattle didn't relocate with the team. I believe he was one of the first in the league who was a team employee and did a very good job with it.

I can help with any questions about the city, not so much about the job. But I'll try to help as much as I can.
