2009 NBA Draft Coverage: In Sam Presti We Trust (Thunder GM)

Insamwetrusthd_medium
As we inch closer and closer to the 2009 NBA Draft, I thought it would be fitting to make very clear of one thing, In Sam Presti We Trust. The moves he's made since joining the organization have been cold and calculated as he attempts to completely rebuild this team, for the long haul, and from the ground up. He hasn't been afraid to trade superstars (Ray Allen), walk away from pricey re-signings (Rashard Lewis), or even walk away from completed trades involving stud players because his future became a little cloudy after Thunder trainers evaluated him (Tyson Chandler). He did all that and more, much more, in just 2 years since being hired by the Sonics. Its a pretty long list that you'll see after you make the jump.

Sam Presti became the General Manager of the Seattle Sonics on June 7, 2007 and since then, not only has he made those tough decisions/big deals listed above, but he's also turned over nearly the entire roster. Just take a look at these names: Ray Allen, Andre Brown, Desmon Farmer, Danny Fortson, Mickael Gelabale, Andreas Glyniadakis, Rashard Lewis, Randy Livingston, Johan Petro, Luke Ridnour, Mo Sene, Chris Wilcox, and Mike Wilks. In addition to those guys, Earl Watson, Nick Collison, and Damien Wilkins were also on the roster when Sam Presti took over the club, however, before the end of the summer, or before the trade deadline next year, its not out of the realm of possibilities for one, two, or even all three of those guys to be moved. Of the three remaining Pre-Presti players, only Nick Collison figures to be around past next year, at least in our estimation.

Star-divide

We've all been exhausting ourselves discussing what the Thunder will do with their #3 pick in next weeks draft, and while all the possibilities are intriguing, one thing we can bank on is that Thunder General Manager Sam Presti will undoubtedly make the smartest move for Oklahoma City with respect towards building this team for the future. He and his staff are looking at all sorts of players, and discussing potential moves with all sorts of teams. By the time the Thunder officially make/trade their pick come draft day, you can trust that the staff will have done their homework, carefully plotted out their move, and figured out the best way to make the most of our draft choice. It could come by using the 3rd pick to select a guy like James Harden (Which we love), Hasheem Thabeet, or even a guy like Tyreke Evens (whom you'll likely be hearing from, fictitiously of course, this week in our continued "My Name Is Series"). Or perhaps it could come by trading that third pick away, possibly with expiring contracts (Earl Watson anyone....please?), or with draft picks, and could be used to add a veteran player from another team in addition to dropping down a few slots and drafting a player like Stephen Curry to help maximize the value of our 3rd overall pick.

Whatever the case, In Sam Presti We Trust, and In Sam Presti You Can Trust. If you don't believe us, just take a look at the entire history of moves he's made since joining the club. Its quite a long list, especially when you consider he only took the job just a little over two years ago, but one thing is for sure, he isn't afraid of wheeling and dealing. So take a few minutes, look over this list, form your opinion about any/all of the moves he's made, and let us know if you Trust in Presti as much as we do.

Also, it's recently been announced that the state of Oklahoma will be releasing a limited edition State specific Nickel for use in the state of Oklahoma only, as part of an advertising campaign to raise awareness about our professional basketball team. The tails side is of course the Thunder logo, but the heads side features our very own Sam Presti, with the words In Sam We Trust. You can see the head side of the Nickel below Presti's transaction history on this post. Of course this is all complete malarkey and isn't actually true, I just had to make something up so that my post header made more sense, or cents. I mean not everybody would have made the connection between In Sam We Trust and In God We Trust which is most commonly found on all forms of American Money. And no, in no way does this post, or post title have anything to do with God or Religion, its just my new catch phrase for anytime someone posts or makes comments in reference to our wunderkind general manager.

Presti isn't perfect.

I think he made a mistake when he waived Hill. In his time in the NBA (all 2 minutes of it) Hill made 2 points, 2 ORB, and 1 ORB. If we project those numbers to 36 minutes he would average 36pts (w/100% shooting), 36 ORB, and 18 DRB. Seriously, what happened.

We need to give him

A 45 mill a year contract for those types of numbers!
If it makes you feel better he was still with the 66ers to close the season, even while being injured. I think they still have some interest in seeing if he can develop a bit more, at the D-league level.

I imagine he'll be back with the 66ers to start next season...

Otherwise why would they keep him around when he was injured for so long? Seriously, its the D-League, most guys who get injured are gone.

In all honesty...

I don’t really read any other Thunder blogs anymore to avoid things like you are implying. When covering the exact same subject matter, there is always going to similar stuff posted by each different site covering whatever specific topic.

I’m sure they have posted plenty of stuff similar to ours at 1 point or another. I remember a month or two back they posted an article with almost an identicle headline to one I’d written already. It was at that point I decided to stop reading other Thunder blogs on a regular basis.

Better material by P

Just read that other article & feel P’s was written better, better evidence of Presti’s moves since he took over & yes, better photoshop. Although Sam does kinda look like Raiden from Mortal Kombat, which is coincidently known as the “Thunder God.” I didn’t know that off the top, I just googled it cuz I couldn’t put my finger on what Presti looked like…I swear.

Thanks EHoff

Nothing against the guys at Daily Thunder, people get passionate about the sites they like. Royce and Joe run a quality blog. I used to read Joe’s stuff a lot when he was running his own blog (Thunder Guru), always enjoyed his stuff. Anymore though, like I mentioned above, I don’t even check other sites so as not to take influence from someone else.

Just an FYI...

I received an email from Royce over at Daily Thunder and he assured me the comments posted above are not the same feeling of those at the Daily Thunder blog. They, just like I, realize when covering something so specific as a team similar stories are likely to happen. Its not the first time and won’t be the last.

Anyway, thanks again to Royce for reaching out and to Daily Thunder for giving Thunder fans another great blog to check out and read on a Daily Basis. Both Royce and Joe do an excellent job covering the team, and that’s a big reason why we link them in our daily Loud Links so much.

For the record

I read their blog and this blog. I find both informative and useful. Hard to find one good blog for a team, much less two! So I can’t hate on Daily Thunder, they have some good stuff over there too.

And yes, when it’s the dull days of summer and you’re scraping for something to talk about, you’re bound for some crossover at times. Good to know that those guys understand!

He wouldn’t fit well with Durant and Green. Too much talent at the 3. Plus he’d cost too much.

I've been in contact with Royce and Joe...

going back to when I was running Thunder in OKC, Royce was running Thunderworld, and Joe was running Thunderguru. We all had the opinion that helping each other was more beneficial to all of use than competing. Some teams still don’t even have one decent blog to read regularly, so Thunder fans should feel pretty lucky that they have a couple to check out on a Daily basis.

If there’s a rivalry to be started, I think that’s the place to do it. The only place where both teams are pretty even. Unless you count destinations I’d barely want to live in over Bismarck, North Dakota.

query

 Waived forward Joe Smith.

at the time cavaliers were interested in joe and he signed with them after being released.
my question is if presti knew cavs were interested shouldnt we have atleast tried a trade with them??

by lujersta on Jun 16, 2009 1:30 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I’m sure Presti looked into offers beofrr the trading deadline. I think the Thunder were aware if Joe Smiths desire to chase a championship and waived him just in time fir him to meet the deadline to be available for the playoffs. At that point why not save some cash and give the younger guys playing time. It might also be because of how the orginization worked with him and respected his wishes that he expressed interest in wanting to play for OKC next season. Either way it’s all pretty inconsequential.

concerning Smith

He wasn’t playing major minutes at all. Plus it was an expiring contract, so there was no major loss on our part. I think it was a classy move to allow Smith the opportunity to sign with a championship caliber team. The guy really wants a ring, plain and simple. I can’t be mad at that.
