The Oklahoma City Thunder have officially hired former Orlando Magic general manager Rob Hennigan. Hennigan is no newcomer to the Thunder organization, having previously worked for OKC from 2008 to 2012.
The community received the news of the Hennigan to OKC story when Michael Scatto of Basketball Insiders tweeted:
Hennigan’s stay in Orlando since 2012 wasn’t much of a success story, to say the least. The Magic were never competent enough to make the playoffs, and a 35 win season during Oladipo’s breakout year in 2015 was the high water mark.
Hennigan has had a long relationship with OKC general manager Sam Presti, which is most likely the primary reason he is getting a second chance in Oklahoma.
