Presti ‘Hopeful’ Westbrook Excited to Stay in OKC

With another summer of uncertainty on the horizon, Thunder general manager Sam Presti is “hopeful” the franchise can sign point guard Russell Westbrook to a new long-term extension.

“The rules are that you can’t have that conversation until July 1, and you know, when that time comes, we’ll sit down, we’ll have conversations with him about what that opportunity presents,” Presti said Monday at his end-of-season availability. “And you know, we’re obviously hopeful that he remains really excited about being a part of this organization for the remainder of his career.”
