Oklahoma City will be a rebuilding team for the next few years. The aim of the rebuild is to replenish the roster with talent and load up on draft capital. Presti started the rebuild effectively; Sam has managed to get an excellent return on assets during the roster teardown.
The easy stage of the rebuild has been completed; a complete teardown involving good, valuable players will always provide a good return if the General Manager is competent. The next stage of the rebuild is much more difficult as there is no path to follow; there is the only the aim of asset acquisition.
