Thunder GM Sam Presti offered his remarks yesterday during his 2018-19 preseason conference. You can watch it here:
Here are a few areas Presti touches on, as called out by Royce Young:
Sam Presti says the team has never pushed a player to hit a specific date in recovering from injury, and won’t start now by rushing Russell Westbrook to be ready for game one.

Sam Presti said he can’t speak too much to Dennis Schröder’s legal situation but said, “I wouldn’t expect it to be a distraction in any way for him or the team.”

A constant around OKC is shooting, and Sam Presti noted today they would "love for us to have more shooting." He pointed to three ways to improve: 1) make a trade (which would mean giving up players they like), 2) make some shots or 3) smarter shot selection.
