The NBA cycle really has no offseason. From the draft, to free agency, to players beefing on twitter and demanding trades, and with the blink of an eye we are back into the swing of basketball season. Some NBA Teams open up training camp Saturday, while the OKC Thunder will wait to start things up until Tuesday September 25th. With training camp just a skip of a rock away, that means Media availability are here.
The players will talks to reporters and have photo shoots on Monday, but OKC Thunder GM Sam Presti decided to get his out-of-the-way early, and he gave Thunder fans a ton to sink their teeth into. At this time of the year basketball fans cling to anything to talk about, but Presti gave insight to a lot of things that deserve examination.
He provided updates on injuries to star point guard Russell Westbrook, and lock down shooting guard Andre Roberson. He went on to talk about newly acquired Dennis Schöder, the offensive system the OKC Thunder want to run–key word being run–and the starting lineups. So sit back, relax, and let us dissect the words from Sam Presti who sadly did not make another A Tribe Called Quest reference.
