The only lever Presti hasn't pulled is one that he has no control over.
We are Oklahoma City.
We are not Miami. We are not L.A, or New York. Heck, we're not even Oakland/San Francisco.
Presti can't make free agents want to come here. He sure can't make them stay when they'd rather be the #1 guy in Houston.
Durant told us all these years he wanted to stay with one club his entire career, and hang his number up in the rafters.
Then he took less money to go to Golden State, and is going to re-work his contract to take less money next year to stay at Golden State.
Presti can't do anything about that shit. Put Presti in any of those other cities, and he's got Free agents flocking to him, and builds an unbelievable dynasty.
