NBA Analysis Network

Most general managers of a rebuilding NBA team would opt to keep Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over virtually any amount of draft picks. Most general managers are not Sam Presti.

The man behind the Oklahoma City Thunder’s ambitious long-term plans is a draft pick collector. Arguably, a hoarder even. The plan is to build a contender, like any other NBA team. The path Presti is choosing to get there is unprecedented.

Could he be so committed to his vision that he’d consider dealing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? It would be a bold move. The 23-year-old is coming off of a season where he averaged 24.5 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per contest. With that said, bold moves seem to be Presti’s preference.

Meanwhile, other teams would likely jump at the opportunity to acquire the star guard. He looks every bit the part of a franchise player.
