📖 Roster Story
Sam Presti played chess while everyone else played checkers. When he traded Russell Westbrook and Paul George, critics called it a teardown. Instead, it was a reload. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — the 'throw-in' from the Clippers deal — became a top-5 player. Chet Holmgren at #2 adds unicorn potential. The Thunder have more draft picks than any team in NBA history, but their best assets are already on the roster.
