Thunder guard Earl Watson doesn't think he'll be a part of the team's plans past this season, whether or not coach Scott Brooks returns.

"I don't think I'm going to be here regardless," said Watson, who has one year and $6.6 million remaining on his contract.

"You never know, this business is incredible. But going into the last year of my deal business-wise you become an attractive contract. And for the last month I haven't been playing. So why would I be here?"

Rookie point guard Russell Westbrook and Chucky Atkins have been playing ahead of Watson for a majority of the season.
