Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti spoke with the media on Monday to conduct his exit interview and touched on multiple talking points throughout his two-plus hour-long press conference.
One of the more significant quotes he provided was his full support of the Play-In tournament and a potential Mid-Season tournament. Presti noted that he believes there should be more than just one thing for all 30 teams to chase and celebrate. Presti also said that it makes sense and is a bold move that will help the health of the league in the long run and that the initial ridicule by fans will be worth it.
“I love the play-in thing and I’m a big mid-season tournament supporter, as well, and even the early rounds of the playoffs.”
