    With the way the clippers are going another top 5 pick for OKC this year when they probably win 70 games

    I’m speechless right now. The clippers have hampered the entire NBA with their buffoonery they should be forced to relocate so they can’t continue this whole chill LA destination that’s pays players to take a backseat to the lakers.

    also, Presti is the Jordan of not just GMs…but front office. I said he was the best a decade ago and got clowned for it but damn is it obvious now

    Presti is good, but I would be much more impressed if he had been able able to accomplish great things with an owner like Ranadive who likes to meddle and was Anti Tanking. Maybe Ranadive has softened on his Anti Tanking stance since things are rather dismal for the Kings this season.

    Auerbach?
    He might have used a loophole in the NBA rules - policies to acquire Larry Bird. So he gets credit for finding and using the loophole, but life would be more difficult for him in the current NBA.

    Ranadive? Stay away from that sinking ship......good job getting away, Mike B.

    I heard the daughter is a smoke show though, KD looked at her.

    Perkins has shallow perspectives and is not the least bit amusing. He literally tries the Barkley approach to analyzing and commentating but, unlike Charles, has no real nice genuine persona to backup his frantic knee jerk reactions. Hard to believe Sam Presti could have built any close relationship with this clown

    You don't have to build a father son relationship but Presti is known to have deeper work related/or sometimes private conversations with players, staff and coaches.....
    That one is true.

    He's also very lucky. To have that many lottery picks is insane

    Look at how the thunder have ever constructed top to bottom going back 17 years.

    it has been intentional and planned. Too many rockets fans keep talking about luck and an agenda against the rockets to excuse one of the worst front offices
