In his position as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Sam Presti is privy to a lot of information. He converses daily with league officials, colleagues in other cities and power brokers throughout the country.
At the point guard spot for the Thunder is Chris Paul, who serves as the President of the National Basketball Players Association. That’s another major pipeline of communication for Presti, and that pair of individuals that has and will continue to figure prominently in the Thunder’s return to action, alongside 21 other NBA teams down at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fl.
