OKCheap cheaped out when they had KD and Russ. Let Harden walk. Got back Kevin Martin and some picks that only amounted to Steven Adams.
Presti was also dogshyt at acquirin role player talent round Russ and KD. Drafts and FA. He only struck wit Serge. Thabeet, Perry Jones, 40yo Derek Fisher, Liggins, 40yo Caron, McGary, Morrow, Dion Waiters, Cam Payne, Nazr lol.
OKCheap actually paid more in luxury tax for the Russ and PG flop I think then KD and Russ. Then he got much better signin and acquirin eqlite role player and supportin cast when it was just Russ, Russ and PG and to now. He was one of the worst GMs at that when KD was there. The biggest trade acquisition they got in that era was probably Kendrick Perkins
