Prior to the conference finals beginning, I penned a piece regarding the disservice the OKC Thunder front office is doing to Russell Westbrook. Now, the disservice includes Paul George and Steven Adams. OKC’s core players have been loyal to the franchise, yet the organization has not rewarded them with a winning environment.
The off-court culture Oklahoma City has created is one of the best environments in the entire NBA. However, the on-court philosophy does not meet the same standard as the rest of OKC’s culture.
Sam Presti is at the head of the Thunder’s ship, 11 years into his tenure in Oklahoma City it’s all about taking the good with the bad in regards to Presti.
