Sam Presti was asked if the environment
surrounding the Oklahoma City noise is refreshed with the players healthy and
with new accompaniments to the roster and at head coach.
“We have an goal to build a great,
enduring association," said Sam Presti. "And to protect that ideal
and maintain our victory, it requires us to continually stimulate development
and evolution with no relinquishing the principles and standards that we are
built upon. The combination of the change to a new coaching staff, a healthy team
with the benefit of 7 years of experience together that is now toward
the inside its prime years, and some additions to our roster that fit our age prospect
also help fortify the existing civilization, and has created an organizational
momentum that has everyone excited about the there but also very hopeful about
the future.”
Presti was also asked if this term
feels extra essential given Kevin Durant's 2016 free agency.
“We adopted an organizational move
toward in 2008 that is centered on being intentional about focusing on the current,
not getting sidetracked by things we can’t manage, and ensuring that all of our
notice and meaning is on acceptance the season as it comes to us. We have seen
every year as important, significant, and commendable of our full attention,
and this season will be treated in the same fashion. This approach has served
us well and our players have been outstanding in terms of staying restricted to
this approach during the various circumstances we have encountered over the
years.
“I really think that our position as
an organization is very much due to their aptitude to work in the present tense
and place their attention on the excellence of the work, not in the past or
toward a future that has yet to arrive. If we continue to stay true to this idea,
and I believe we will, it allows us to embrace the opportunities that this,
like any season, presents and also allows us to continue to build an identity
for the noise that will stand the test of time."
