Oklahoma City Thunder Voted NBA's Best Front Office

The Oklahoma City Thunder's front office has been voted the best in the NBA by a poll of 40 league executives, amassing 354 points and surpassing the Boston Celtics by over 100 points. This recognition stems from strategic trades and drafting decisions, including acquiring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and drafting Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. The Thunder's methodical accumulation of draft picks and young talent has placed them atop the Western Conference standings. The Celtics, last season's NBA champions, were ranked second with 250 points, followed by the Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzlies, and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder's success is attributed to their long-term rebuilding strategy, which has positioned them as strong contenders in the league. The poll results highlight the effective management and foresight of the Thunder's front office, led by Sam Presti.
