With the OKC Thunder knocking on the door of the NBA's next dynasty, executives around the league know who's responsible: General Manager (GM) Sam Presti is on a run of unseen dominance as of late. Not only has he put out a 2025-26 Thunder roster off to a historic start to the season, they are defending the 2024-25 Thunder's NBA Championship over Tyrese Haliburton and Indiana Pacers. Not only did they have the best net rating of all time last campaign, they are on pace to break it in this one. Not only do they have two lottery picks that haven't touched the court yet, they have up to 8 first round picks in the next two drafts. Not only do they have the MVP of last year, he's leveled up again this year. Not only do they have a championship-winning big 3, they have them through the end of the decade, along with an abundance of contributing role players. Not only are they on pace to break unanimous MVP Steph Curry and the 2015-2016 Golden State Warriors' record, they haven't played their projected starting five together for even a single second. Gabriel Ebersole breaks down the resume and outlines how impressive it is the work Sam Presti is putting in for a small market team during the NBA's period of parity. --- Thunder Digest covers the latest reports, news and rumors regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder.
