The Trade That Never Stops.. 

Presti definitely a HOF Executive. What he has done is insane. Developing and always competitive even when blowing it up

I loveeee all sam presti content bc he’s really good at his job and i’ve always noticed it. Thunder fans love and trust him. He needs more acknowledgment when we get that ring

So if I followed correctly, Presti sent Rashard Lewis (who was going to walk anyways), Reggie Jackson, 2 2nd’s and some role players. For: SGA, Gallanari, 1 2nd, 2 pick swaps and 11 1sts. SGA alone holds more value right now than everything the thunder gave up let alone all the picks they gathered up. Crazy.

no one ever makes high quality okc content like you. please never stop uploading

Being from Seattle (born and raised) it still makes me sad seeing stuff about the sonics 😔 I went to their last game in 2008.

What’s more amazing is that he was 29 when he became GM

SGA was a hidden gem. He’s a star in the making. He can score at will! I think the thunder will be a great team in 1-2 years!

This might be one of the craziest NBA videos I’ve ever seen. So so good

Amazing video, really enjoyed. The picks acquired from Boston became 2/3 of the Dieng trade. Mann was one of the two Miami picks acquired in the Paul George deal.

This trade tree is also connected to the James Harden trade tree with a 2nd round pick they acquired from the Pelicans for trading Steven Adams. It is a conditional pick so it might not end up being connected.

Awesome video man, put together very nicely!

That was a actual pleasure to watch , well done! Love it!

everything ab this video is 10/10. u got a real talent bro keep grinding!!just subbed💯💯💯

Fire video and concept. Especially with my OKC squad. Good work!

What a phenomenal breakdown man. I follow the NBA in passing but love playing playing pick up. This was very interesting . Thank you

this video was awesome. Just stumbled across this channel & Im lovin it!

Hey man this was an idea I've had for a while but you put it together like art. Well done. Keep making videos you'll be successful

Great video, very informative for thunder fans. Thunder up!

this video was incredible, keep it up!

this is so so well done

Incredible video!

Presti has to be the best talent evaluater as a gm in the league,Bob Meyers is the best at patience and building from ground up,Ainge is the best at hustling teams

Great job on this

One of the greatest videos I’ve ever watched well done

This was an incredible video!

I’m glad this came up on my feed.

i love the sb type edit but with your own twist, excited to see more videos about the thunder from you!!!

Really nice breakdown

Such a quality job on editing, script AND voiceover for such a small channel! Love your calm way of speaking. Alot of these NBA commentary channels so obnoxious with how fast/hyped they talk. The way you deliver your script is a really nice change of pace ❤️

Fantastic video - a Thunder fan

Super good vid. Not even a thunder fan but glad I clicked.

Mind blowing and eye opening video. This guy knows what he's doing.

Okc we better not ever let this man go! What an Awesome way to put it all into perspective for us though man.

Bro amazing job I just subscribed keep the good work going

Incredible video

great video

Presti is a genius and the reason I’ll never give up on the team when KD left a lot of fans left with him and flipped teams Westbrook goes to the rockets a lot of fans declared the love for Westbrook over the team… but I’m loyal to the soil and know as long as we got Presti .. we are in good hands … in Presti we Trust

Great video..I hope u covered other teams as well

Beautiful video

Getting a Secret Base vibes here, good job!

one of the best videos ive seen

Great video. Great channel. Subscribed.

I liked this video a lot!

Good job. Keep uploading and I may subscribe

This is an excellent video with high production value. I looked at your account subscribers, thinking this would be a huge account and was blown away, that you only have 2.8k. YOU HAVE A TON OF TALENT

great vid

I love the Jon Bois level content without all the smug, preachy, annoying bullshit that comes with Jon Bois content. You got a new sub here.

As a Sonics/OKC fan I worship Presti and I’ve watched all these players in an OKC jersey and followed all our trades but I never thought about how these were all connected. Amazing video and I’m glad I found this channel

Good video.

Absolutely amazing!!!! Always respected Presti for keeping a great roster and competitive teams, yet his moves were “ Einstein-ish”! Brilliant! Brilliant. Brilliant!

this was really well made

👏🏽 well done

Great watch..p.s you changed my mind too. I used the see Sam as great gm when it came to drafting n contracts..but bad trader. He seem to lose some big ones ..but this swayed my me.

Yea I’ve noticed Sam style an it’s impressive.I hope the okc owner gives GM Sam prestie anything an everything he needs to keep him there !

This is me on MyGM in 2k.. but honestly none of this matters beyond serge if they don’t have any success

I was thinking why the voice looks so familiar and turn out its Mr. Royce Young😂 Always been a fan of your stuff. Hope still can read ur articles later on! They give up many to get Poku… and it definitely worth it… time will tell.

Bill Simmons needs to watch this so he can get a grasp on how invested Sam is in this franchise and he stops with the nonsense "wb presti to Boston/la/phx etc"

Love the grafic

Wow, I've NEVER and I mean NEVER seen content on RU-vid this good before. People watch Jxmmyhighroller, A.M. hoops, Flemlo raps sports, baseball doesn't exist, total running productions or TRP, Mikerphone, Flight Mike, and they love ALL that TRASH. It is all 100% repackaged trash. Most of what they do is retell a story with some click bait titles and thumbnails, then they don't even add value. They actually subtract value because they're literally just saying things that mostly make no sense. I can't tell you how furious I get when watching one of these trash videos and in the comments there are 1000s of people blow banging it to death when it's literally TRASH.......BUT THIS, BUT THIS.... is literal pure GOLD. This was short but the detail was immaculate and it was something that most people have never covered. This was so great, I hope it gets the play. Americans in 2023 are too dumb for content like this.. OKC has to play the game like this or they'll never have a team. They draft so well too. I've loved watching OKC. Except when Melo was hear showing how overrated his whole career has been.

I need to see this for Masia In toronto, his trade tree from primo pasta is incredible.

This is why Presti is the GOAT. Awesome video, Royce

You know what's wild? That highlight of Sabonis and McDermott (who barely played together in OKC) was the blueprint for Indiana's offense with both of them on the floor in 2020 and 2021

Checkout the tradeline for George Hill, starting in 2008.

Nothing will ever sting as much to me as an NBA fan as the sonics getting moved. This story arc defines the second half of OKC's beginning, but it also wouldve been awesome had it still been the sonics. One day🤞

Very similar path for the Pacers from the PG13 trade. Not as extensive but still much better value.

GREAT FN VIDEO

You need to talk about how the Pacers made the Paul George trade to Halliburton and Mathurin.

…And it’s all resulted in unparalleled success. The dynasty of the OKC Thunder.

Nahhhh🤣I just got that Ibaka trade outta my head now you reminding me again

Quite literally didn’t know what Sam Presti looked liked til now !! 😂

Love seeing a OKC channel here on youtube.

Where's the CP3 trades? Also why isn't Giddey & Dort part this timeline also

Are u only gonna make videos about the Thunder? I love your style, and would love to see you make content about teams all around the NBA. Either way, keep up the great work

I want to see a documentary on Sam Presti and all of the moves he's made.

I am a former Thunder fan. I would like to see a video on some of Presti's terrible moves and non-moves. Like, the impact of trading away a young 6th man Harden instead of amnestying a washed up Perkins (huge contract). While it is true that Steven Adams showed up as result of a pick gained in the Harden trade, that actually backfired because they basically were forced to give up Ibaka in his prime. Also, can you imagine prime Harden starting at SG instead of Kevin Martin? And they lost Kevin Martin one year later and only got prospect Szymon Szewcyzk in return. As for Steven Adams, all they currently have to show for the trade that sent him to New Orleans is Denver's 1st round pick this year.

This is why I love hearing the talking heads on TV or random people talking about all the trades the Thunder SHOULD make. Pretty sure none of them would have had the success in a small market that Presti has had.

Have to agree this is one of the greatest trades of all time… OKC may be the penultimate benefactor however the ultimate winner of this trade, as it sits today, has to be the Pacers. Haliburton, Hield, Nembhard, Nesmith (via no longer needing Brogdon) & the Cavs 2023 1st… All for one guy who publicly announced he wasn’t returning. Maybe in the future OKC will be the ultimate winners but as it sits today Indiana seems to made the most of the repercussions of the Ibaka trade. It’s not just the haul. The team records speak for themselves.

1000th sub

Having all those extra first and second round choices during the next 4 years is great and all, like if your team had fifteen guys on the court at all times. But it's only five at a time. Keep SGA, Giddey and the DORTure chamber, then bundle some picks and some players and trade for two not-too-old established stars.

Sam presti knows how to draft I wish lakers had him. Thunder has a lot of draft picks

All these great moves that we have to respect one thing remains, they are not a title contender they aren't making the playoffs and at some point no matter how crafty you are in the front office you have to get to the playoffs you have to contend for a title and to be actually successful you have to win a title! Drafter 3 MVPs but no ring. All those picks but when will they have that guy that everybody in the locker room follows and leads them to the next level will it come in the draft pick or will it come from Trading those draft picks? Because it doesn't matter how amazing you are at working out contracts making good trades picking good draft picks if you can't pull it all together and win a championship.

You can actually track this trade tree back to Chris Webber's draft night. Been working on a project documenting it for the last year now. It's huge.

Sam Presti: Our plans are measured in centuries

I’m your 999 subscriber 💀

In one of the biggest what if’s of all time. Imagine if Kd requested a trade to Golden State instead of sneaking off to join them! It’s no telling how many players that Presti could have gotten from Golden State?!!!!
