    Default Is Sam Presti the devil?

    Great drafter, keeps the team competitive....but

    Trades Green for Perkins. (Presti overpays on a 4/38 deal that forces them to overplay the mediocre big).
    Chooses Ibaka over Harden. (Too weak to fight for luxury tax).
    Trades Harden for crap. (Harden becomes a top 5 NBA player).
    Won't fire a mediocre coach (sorry Brooks is not good).
    Mishandles KD's foot injury by allowing him to return early, possibly ending his Thunder career. (why would he stay at this point?)

    All this leads me to think Presti is evil and wants fans of a nomadic franchise to suffer at an almost sick level over what should have been a 5-7 year dynasty.

    Is Sam Presti a sick person who loves to watch fans suffer?

    Amazing scouting repertoire but poor management skills.

    Posts like this go a long way in proving the OP's lack of understanding of how a franchise works and what it's like to be a GM of a small market team working for an owner who doesn't want to pay the luxury tax. But yeah, keep it up.

    He's a Sonics fan,giving hope to the OKC hopefulls then ripping their hearts out step by step.

    Durant leaving will be the final piece of his masterplan.

    Thunder are owned by some cheap ass honkey's who most likely don't even like basketball.

    That's your problem. I don't believe Presti is to blame.

    I am so glad you know the inside and outside workings of an NBA franchise. While his owner is cheap, he could have found much more creative ways of making things work, but has torn apart what should have been a dynasty. Would you please tell us how to run things, o zen master?
