That is unfortunate. I was hopeful you had a legitimate source that Presti was getting fired.

At this point, seeing the way OKC is playing, that would be a great start. Instead of trading away people, just add new young pieces (possibly draft a defensive big and add Claxton). He has some DPOY charisma to him and would provide what Gafford provides for Mavs.
There’s also always a chance Giddey + picks for Markanen happen at one point. Unlike Kizz, I’m confident in Presti and his decisions under the new CBA. With tougher financial limits, he did well to have cap space and a bunch of picks lined up for what seems a more trade active financial environment in the league.

But it feels like he was unfairly forgotten about the last month or so due to injury and a few playoff great performances by others. Guys like Ant, Brunson and Luka became the more popular pick. Two of the guys have no business being considered there yet. Ant is great but too much is being made of a few playoffs games and Shai's body of work is underappreciated. That being said, individual awards are stupid. Just win baby.

It's sad to see what happened there!

What happened to Memphis is nearly impossible to happen to OKC.
Memphis "peaked" in '21-'22. If we assume this season is where OKC peaks to project them out like Memphis the following would have to happen. Memphis lost a key starter to injury who was under contract for a decent chunk of cap space the following season...
