OKC Thunder: Injury updates, offensive upgrade highlight 5 keys of Sam Presti presser
By Rylan Stiles
Decade of abundance:
When the OKC Thunder got introduced a decade ago no one was prepared for this amazing roller coast ride fans were about to be taken on. From Western Conference finals and NBA Finals appearances, to MVP’s, and wacky trades both good and bad, few fan bases have had it better than the OKC Thunder fan base over the last decade.
The beautiful thing about the OKC Thunder fan base is that they see how fortunate they are to have a competent organization set on competing every year, and the fan support is out of this world.
Sam Presti looks forward to another decade in OKC.
Presti: "We're so grateful for the support going into our second decade."

With that great fan base, comes passion and criticism. OKC Thunder fans have been vocal about wanting Presti to grab more shooters for Russell Westbrook and company to work with. From screaming for Kyle Korver to Courtney Lee, the fans want…something. Sam Presti realizes the lack of shooting is an issue.
Presti when asked what the Thunder needs, sounds like needs/priorities for pretty much any team in the NBA:

1. Need more shooting. 2. Need some guys to make some shots. 3. If we’re not making shots, what kind of shots are we taking?
I would not expect a move too quickly, as the Thunder hold out hope Alex Abrines, Patrick Patterson, Terrence Ferguson and others on the roster to fulfill this need.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Basketball is almost here.
