The Seattle SuperSonics hired Sam Presti as their general manager in 2007.
He was among the most notable names that can take responsibility for accruing James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant, all of which were drafted by Presti’s management. Drafting three MVPs is easier said than done, and it doesn’t even sound easy.
Retaining that level of skill and personality wasn’t quite as easy, but Presti has shown he and his team have one of the best eyes for talent in the NBA.
That makes it even more impressive that he’s looking to move up from No.
