From selecting Nikola Topic, Dillon Jones, and Ajay Mitchell in the 2024 NBA draft, to trading Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls for Alex Caruso and then signing three new contracts in free agency, headlined by the addition of Isaiah Hartenstein from the New York Knicks, Sam Presti put in some serious work after his team exited the playoffs in the second round, and he has been handed his flowers as a result.
