Following Potential 2026 Draftees

It hilarious that people explain Presti like “he just got lucky to always have the stuff people wanted to buy”. Yes… lol. He spun out a washed Serge Ibaka into the stiff he sold for PG and sold that for SGA and a **** ton of picks… then sold off Westbrook… got assets to take Al Horford… got assets for Al Horford. Same with CP3. Has drafted with an ideology and acquired rotation players out of thin air.

Discussing a FO’s record is often a pointless exercise. People have already decided what narrative/opinion they want to go with then they decide if a move is skill or luck to fit that. Very few things outside of the lotto are completely black and white.

No one is saying he isn't good. The major building blocks to their success are products of the unexplainable pull Westbrook has as a great teammate among NBA players and Kawhi Leonard making the PG trade a package deal

It’s the notion that he’s lucky. Not really. He had a cap change that allowed the fuggin mvp to leave for nothing. He’s had less luck than like 90% of the GMs that have put together title teams. The Westbrook “credit” is hilarious. Russ is part of the reason KD wanted to bounce. Presti clearly got PG to re-sign with the understanding that he’d move him if he wanted later and it was the way for PG to get the most money anyway.

The dude absolutely just dominated the other GMs in the league. Everyone has a few things break their way. He took full advantage of every break.
