Everyone will remember Dame in a Blazer uniform as the face of the franchise. Russ may be remembered by some by his final years bouncing from team to team because of his bad contract and that sucks because Russ was insane in OKC and should really be remembered for that.
There’s a real case that stars staying with one team for most of their career is better for their legacy. If Russ stayed in OKC and started to decline in OKC he would have been appreciated while he declined. While it wasn’t all in his control, imagine If Russ never left OKC
Even fans of other teams see those types of final seasons as less of a “this player is declining” and more of a “damn he had a hell of a career there” the final seasons of a player have a lasting impact on legacy.
pretty cool that prospects like Chet Holmgren & Shaedon Sharpe have OKC at the top of their list of preferred teams
says a lot about how great of a job Presti & the coaching staff have done where guys actively recognize OKC is one of the best places to maximize their development
@1Darsock4 Yea a knockdown shooter would round that lineup out nice. All depends on if they want to tank again next year again, but if they want to, they could make some moves to be good
