In Closing:
The full Sam Presti question and answer session can be viewed in the video above. Moving forward the best advice I can give Thunder fans is expect the unexpected.
Multiple trades could be coming before training camp starts or the club could be quiet until the season gets underway – neither scenario would surprise me.
What we do know based on the numerous times Presti said it – is this will be a long process. Nor will the franchise veer from its identity which believes the community of Oklahoma City is integrally enmeshed with the team.
The Thunder may be the second smallest NBA franchise but the club not only embraces how involved the community is with the organization they feel it’s one of their key assets.
Based on how Russell Westbrook paid homage to OKC in his Houston introduction it’s a wise decision for Presti to feature it and we should expect that to be a continuing point of emphasis.
