Sam Presti explains why he supports the anti-tank rules put forth by Adam SilverHe thinks it is a good thing it is only for 3 years as it makes it possible to go back from it if it doesn't work not remaining in the box

Sam Presti We hear all the time about things people don't like about the NBA which are inaccurate but they are narratives that exist on the alternative realityHe then continues to beautifully break down those narratives and show they aren't true Including narratives about SGA

Adam Silver In terms of tanking theres no question that what we saw this season was unprecedented Fans in particular cities and even media were rooting for their teams to tank We had to respond not just to the narrative but to misalignment of incentives once it was an accepted practice

Sam Presti comments on what Cason Wallace said about the contract thing he praises Wallace and says there are a lot of options and different paths but it will be discussed with Wallace at the appropriate time

Sam Presti In this job as a leader what you want to do is build teams that you wish you could have been a part of and I feel that way about this era of the Thunder

Presti on lottery reform Good short term solve but hopes NBA will eventually move away from a luck based solution Hopefully we can get to a point where we have a system that isn't tied to record entirely Said he prefers a complex predictable system to a simple unpredictable one

Sam Presti If there is one thing I'm a little frustrated about besides not winning the final quarter of the season is I think we lost out on a lot of team development
