Sam Presti: OKC Thunder: The Man With A Plan

[The Truth #6]

About Clay Bennett

"The team's owner was looking to sell to an out-of-town group, while the business community was looking for capital to keep the team local."

Not to get off topic, but the team owner that was trying to sell out of town, that had to have been McCombs at that moment, correct? I hadn't seen it written as clearly before where it insinuates the owner at the time wanted to sell it to a group to allow them to take the team away. If that's true, then doesn't that put McCombs in a much worse light?

I know this old news in general, but I had never seen it verified like this.

Ah, I see. Presti and Pritchard are geniuses because their teams, stocked with early first round draft picks, didn't make the playoffs. But Portland finished the season 41-41, which is extremely exciting. But RC is clueless because the Spurs lost in the WCF last season with Manu injured, and despite making the playoffs every year for the past decade, have only managed to win the NBA le four times, meaning that 6 times in the last decade they've failed. That's a 60% failure rate. Damn those underachieving Spurs and that awful GM RC Buford! We need a team that doesn't make the playoffs for 5 years but shows huge potential-- that's the true sign of success.
