The Oklahoma City Thunder have the ball rolling for a hopeful nine-month marathon. Sam Presti held his 2026-27 preseason press conference on Thursday. He'll address a wide range of topics that go from team-level to league-wide. The annual movie-length sit-down is must-watch TV.
Even after a summer filled with cost-cutting moves, the Thunder remain a co-title favorite — alongside the San Antonio Spurs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams suffice as one of the league's best and most decorated trios.
