I'd never wanna play monopoly with sam

You'd roll a three and he'd already have a hotel on Baltic Avenue.

[@reginaldcorrington6284]

@@carmine_you sound bitter! He made a team of KD, Russ, Harden and Ibaka… Now he’s done it again. No one can blame Presti for not drafting well or giving the Thunder a chance.

[@angelahock169]

Oh god you are right. He is simply brilliant and shrewd

[@mattnoonan6519]

Sam such a cold GM he wears a long sleeve sweater in July in Oklahoma. 🥶

[@isaacmagar6939]

We basically have 2 full different starting lineup quality sets on this team. #stacked

[@TreylorTrashFishing]

lol you beat me to it. We legit have 2 starting teams on one combined squad. That’s going to be so clutch.

[@OvadiaCorporation]

The crazy part about the OKC rebuild is they lost Durant for nothing in free agency and didn't get much for Harden, but kept trading and developing their assets while drafting better than any other team in the league. They turned 2 out 3 players from the Ibaka trade into Paul George and then traded George for 5 firsts, JDub, & Shai.

[@CastawayBench]

oh wow i never thought about it like that, they essentially turned serge ibaka into shai🤯

[@Jast-oc1mh]

I will never doubt this man

[@andrewslater999]

Thunder up

[@rhyslocke9619]

Presti really is the best GM in american sports. 😅

[@unclefuncledan]

Sam shares little insights into the character of the players that make me even more excited they're on the team. Hearing that iHart was excited about his plans for his home gym makes me think he's going to be such a good fit with guys like Dort, Shai, Dub, and Chet who eat sleep and breathe basketball

[@derekboyt3383]

Haha, he said “coming from behind”, and “we like those kinda guys.” 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MJ-pk4gh]

I hope he gets it right this time. We should've already won championships, no question. They messed it up the first time. Hopefully it works out now.

[@lolol1725]

We should reach out to the Warriors and see if steph wants to join fora 5th ring

[@MJ-pk4gh]

"We don't make promises" was his way of saying "Isaiah is our new center and Chet will be PF." 😆

[@senorprepotente]

I actually heard the opposite…

[@MJ-pk4gh]

@@senorprepotente That's because little Sammy has mastered the art of bullshit! He graduated with honors from the BS Academy and he thinks everything he says sound smart.

[@zoharayalon7594]

​If only the reporters would actually ask decent questions... How do you think of Chet? Which position suits him better? In your vision, is Chet playing more at the 5 or the 4 next to Iheart? What do the stats tell you? Who fills the need at the 4 position now Giddy's gone? ​@@senorprepotente

[@senorprepotente]

@@zoharayalon7594 if you been following the team, the one thing you know is the reporters stink at the questions they ask lol

[@senorprepotente]

@@zoharayalon7594 also tbh i think Hart comes off the bench unless it’s a two big lineup starting… SGA, Dort, Caruso, Dub and Chet… they didn’t trade for Caruso to trade Dort, they love they cap situation and that gives them two POA defenders.. kinda like Minny.. difference is the bench depth is better, they still keep adding to what they did last year… Chet and Hart will be interchangeable on defense the real questions that NEED to be asked is for the HC you won’t hear talk until training camp

[@SeqenRaTao]

Presti, eres mi PADRE.

[@charlescohen6140]

And one more possible move. Kennard or Isaiah Stewart?

@@MrJay007j shut up 🫵😂😂

Love the additions team should still be soul searching on what went wrong what they can do better against a team like the mavs . Derrick jones , PJ and the likes shooting out of their minds from 3 needs to bother them, along with what happened on the glass all year. These incredibly nice additions better not be a crutch for the retained members of the team
