Sam Presti’s preseason press conference was held at the Thunder ION practice facility this past Thursday morning. By design, the two-hour media scrum took on a laid back, conversational tone between Presti and the press.
My biggest takeaway: the Thunder’s General Manager digs Kraftwerk and happens to be BFFs with Pearl Jam.
Due to the length of the presser (the transcript is 18 pages long, single spaced, two columns on each page!), I will just highlight with a running commentary the most relevant and important quotes.
Let’s hear from Sam.
This is kind of a unique press conference in that it's our 15th season in Oklahoma City as the Thunder.
