The Oklahoma City Thunder once again made a Draft Night trade. During the hustle and bustle of the first round, OKC Thunder General Manager kept his streak intact. In each draft since 2019, Presti has made a trade during the NBA Draft. On Thursday, the Oklahoma City Thunder made a deal with the Dallas Mavericks to bring Cason Wallace and Davis Bertans to Bricktown.
Sam Presti explained this move during Saturday’s Rookie Press Conference, mentioning the plan each year is to acquire the highest pick they can. This year, that was a two-spot jump to pick 10.
