The sheer volume of players who have worn the OKC Thunder jersey speaks to the job Sam Presti has done in his 11 seasons as General Manager for the club. Perhaps Presti abandoned a certain trio too soon over far too little money but no one can say the GM doesn’t have an eye for talent.
Rather, his issue seems to be filling ‘specific roster gaps’ or landing the right equation of players. Chemistry is always difficult to create and many title teams will tell you how being lucky and intangibles play a major role in building successful rosters.
