Read the Ramona Shelburne article about Sam Presti and you’ll see how fulla shit Mannix is on this. Dude loves the OKC lifestyle, doesn’t want to go anywhere, and has the full support of ownership.
Show me another GM that has lasted through a full teardown/rebuild? The Process? Still a work in progress and on it’s 3rd GM.
He cuts costs when it’s prudent, takes the gambles that suit him when they’re their. He doesn’t make bad deals. Could he make a little more somewhere else? Sure, maybe. But he wouldn’t have the total backing and autonomy he has now.
Now if Clay sells the team…that’s a whole other situation.
