Su Qun: The Thunder winning mode is difficult to replicate, Presti has unique vision & endures humiliation for many years

Today, famous artist Su Qun posted a message on social media about the recent news that Thunder had renewed the contract with the third young master in advance. The following is some of the content.

It was finally time for Thunder to spend money quickly. Thunder renewed SGA and Jaylen Williams (JW) in advance with two maximum salaries. Moreover, two days ago, the Thunder renewed Chet Holmegren in advance with 250 million in five years. These three early contract renewals cost 822 million yuan, of which JW spent 287 million yuan in five years and SGA spent 285 million yuan in four years.

2024, 2025 and 2026 are the best window period for the Thunder to rely on their young team to win the championship. If they cannot win the championship, they are likely to face dismemberment next summer, just like the "Thunder Three Young Masters" at the time. But the Thunder under Presti's 18-year rule achieved its goal and turned the children into billionaires one by one.

This model cannot be copied and cannot be learned by others. There are three main reasons:

First, the Thunder are one of the few small market teams in the NBA that are completely despised. Big brands are unwilling to come. After coming, it will be difficult for other teams to have the Thunder to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

Second, the general manager suffered enough losses and became far-sighted and no longer sought shortcuts. Faced with the clever snatching from other teams, he used his strength to play and selected young people with great potential with a precise eye.

Third, Thunder seized the rush period of renewal, not earlier or later. Once the storm is over and the renewal is completed, it will be difficult for other young teams to have a chance.

NBA has always followed suit. The Thunder set off a wave of collecting first-round picks, but no matter how many first-round picks are, they cannot be able to see them.

In this regard, Presti's vision is pissy, and it has not been so accurate in recent years. Let's look at the people he has chosen before in addition to young people. These many names: Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Jeff Green, Sabonis, Ibaka, Adams, Reggie Jackson...

Moreover, after winning the championship, the Thunder will have their own model and mode next season. They can turn on the cruise speed and move forward calmly on the road to defending the title.
