It’s time to start appreciating Sam Presti

Thursday afternoon marked another moment in a great history of Sam Presti trades. This time with the Chicago Bulls. Presti made his magic work again, trading Cameron Payne, Joffery Lauvergne and Anthony Morrow for Doug McDermott, Taj Gibson and a second round draft pick.

Many analysts and fans love the trade for the Thunder because it gives the Thunder a great scorer off the bench, something they desperately needed. Along with McDermott comes Gibson.

Gibson is a little older at 31, but he still has starting ability and could very well be starting down the stretch over Domantas Sabonis.
