Finally, Sam Presti won the Presti Award.

Not winning the Executive of the Year Award in his 18-year career is not a pity for Presti, but a pity for this grand prize of the year.

In other words, it is not that Presti needs this prize, but that this prize really has a heavier weight after Presti wins the prize.

No one has questioned the past 18 years, nor is he qualified to question Sam Presti's draft vision and ability to rebuild the team.

Presti's famous talent vision is far earlier than his three-game winning streak in the Thunder.

He just graduated in 2000 with his perfect tongue, he had an opportunity to join the Spurs internship from Spurs general manager Buford. He started as Popovich's video coordinator, but soon he was successfully promoted to Spurs player personnel director because of his strong suggestion that the team choose Tony Parker's decision.

The Spurs are behind the three championships in 03, 05 and 07. In 2007, the Seattle Supersonics owner personally invited Presti, who was only 29 years old, to serve as the team's general manager. In order to give him full control of the team, the team's former president Lanny Wilkens was demoted to Presti's deputy.

Presti's first operation after taking office was to select Kevin Durant, and then sent away the previous generation of supersonic Gemini Ray Allen and Lewis to completely rebuild.

He also shocked the league with a small operation. He used a small operation to take over the Suns' big contract with the Suns who were eager to take action, and took over the Suns' first round pick in 2008 and a first round pick of 10. The first round pick in 2008 finally became Sergi Ibaka. After

, Presti used Cote Thomas to exchange two players from his old club Spurs and a first-round pick in 2009.

Three first rounds in one rotation, you deserve to be you. Most people know the story after

. After choosing three MVPs in three years, the Thunder is the white moonlight in the minds of many fans.

For many years, although the Thunder has not realized its dream of winning the championship, it has always been a top team that cannot be ignored in the West.

It was not until Westbrook left the team in 2019 that the Thunder entered the reconstruction period again. However, in the first year, the reconstruction failed due to the arrival of Chris Paul, 20 years were considered to have completely entered the reconstruction period.

Then Presti returned to the familiar "home court" again, with various tricks on her, taking poison contracts to earn the first round, and giving the poison contracts to the teams who want to strengthen the first round.

At the most, the Thunder held nearly 40 draft picks in their hands.

Presti's talent vision is undoubtedly strong.

The senior three MVPs will not be mentioned. Now the main rotation of the Thunder lineup is almost always selected by Presti or discovered from the undraft.

Presti is steady and accurate in his actions, with unique vision and no expense.

Almost every year, the Thunder can be seen being bored by other teams in the draft. Last year, the Knicks threatened Dillon Jones for five second rounds, and the Mavericks took Carson Wallace to take Bertans' poison contract the previous year.

Presti doesn't care about these things. The NBA is a complete business world. If you allow you to buy low and sell high, you must allow others to use what you want to block you. In the post-Westbrook era, with Alexander as the core, the Thunder completed the real reconstruction in just three years.

The 21 No. 6 pick, Josh Gidey, the youngest triple-double man in NBA history, and Aaron Wiggins, the 55th pick, and then played wildly and lost 73 points without caring.

It's so bad, I'm not shivering. You laugh at me and I lose until my bottoms are gone. I laugh at you. You don't know how good the second-hand score is.

A year later, Chet Homegren was selected for the second pick, Jaylen Williams was selected for the 12th pick, and Jaylen Williams was selected for the 34th pick. The Thunder relied on these young people he selected to become the youngest Western Conference No. 1 team in NBA history last season.

Last summer, Presti, who had already reached the West in the regular season and performed poorly in the playoffs, did not hesitate to send away Josh Giddy, who was gradually marginalized in the team, and replaced the championship guard Caruso.

At that time, many people thought that Thunder was a loss. After all, Gidi was a real potential star who was only 21 years old, but Caruso was already 30 years old.

Presti knows clearly what the Thunder now needs to go further, and the outstanding performance of Caruso and Harten also proves his judgment.

The Thunder won the highest 68 wins in the team's history in the regular season this season, and was in the limelight.

At the same time, the Thunder still has the most terrifying draft pick resources among the 30 detachments in the league, with 13 future first rounds and 17 future second rounds, all of which are the most in the league.

If you want, Presti can make a crazy offer that the other 29 teams cannot refuse, and exchange it for a top five star in the league without moving the core lineup.

Imagine how terrifying it would be if Thunder was airborne Antetokounmpo.

But obviously, Presti's thinking is clearer than any NBA2k dynasty player in the world. Even without opening the sky, he can make the choice that is closest to the correct answer.

After the Thunder were defeated in the first match of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, they showed their muscles to the world today. They beat the Nuggets with a 43-point victory and proved that their 68 wins were not a lucky draw..

With both Eastern Conferences' strongest forces in the 0-2 adversity, the Thunder has become the team with the greatest chance of winning the championship. If we can really realize our dream this year, then Presti can be said to be completely a god.

Of course, even though he still failed to become the final winner this year, Presti was not at all panicked. Their core lineup was still very young, enough to survive until these stars who were in their playing years were old.

There is both present and future, and sooner or later the final victory will belong to Presti and the Oklahomans.
