The Oklahoma City Thunder just made their biggest free agent signing in franchise history. Sam Presti and co managed to bag Isaiah Hartenstein to a massive 3 year deal which some are calling an overpay and others are calling a Godfather offer to get the best free agent center on the market to OKC.
I did a deep dive to project how Hartenstein will fit on both ends of the floor for the Thunder along with some in-depth thoughts and analysis on his game.
With the size of this contract, money has become more of a topic in OKC. I broke down why Thunder fans shouldn't be too worried, but they should be aware of the situation. Finally, I discussed Sam Presti as the Godfather of Thunder basketball, how this team is set up for future success with him leading the charge and a trade that had to happen for this Hartenstein signing to even be possible.
