Daequan Cook wants to stick around for a second season with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

One of only two players in the Thunder's rotation that aren't under contract for next season, Cook said Thursday at a basketball camp that he loves it in Oklahoma City and feels "pretty good" about the chances that he'll be back.

Cook was picked up in a trade last offseason with Miami and eventually moved into a reserve role for Oklahoma City on its way to the Western Conference finals.

Cook averaged 5.6 points in 43 regular-season games last season, then appeared in all 17 of the Thunder's playoff games.

If the Thunder extend him a qualifying offer in the next two weeks, they'll get the chance to match any offer he gets from another team.
