One season after loosing one of the NBA’s brightest stars in Kevin Durant, OKC Thunder GM Sam Presti pulled out another trick. It was the umpteenth marvel of Presti’s ridiculous 2017 offseason by landing Carmelo Anthony in exchange for Enes Kanter and Doug McDermott.
It had been a tough, exhausting season for Thunder fans. They clearly enjoyed one of the most illogical seasons in league history, but on the other side they had to deal with their team’s complexities in terms of success.
Sam Presti knew the OKC Thunder needed to change; to add another elite player who could play alongside Russell Westbrook and simplify his game.
