Thunder's Sam Presti, Billy Donovan receive death threats over recent moves
Thunder general manager Sam Presti and head coach Billy Donovan have received death threats after trading away Paul George and Russell Westbrook, according to KOCO 5 News in Oklahoma City, which cited court documents.
Presti and Donovan received threatening voice messages from an angry fan, who said he wanted to kill the GM and coach and he threatened both of their families. The suspect also used a bomb reference as he said he wants to "blow things up."
"Y'all traded Paul George but kept Raymond Felton. You kept Andre Roberson. Do y'all not love Russell Westbrook?" reads a transcript of one of the voicemails. "I hope he kill everybody. I want to kill everybody."
The Thunder responded to the issue, saying: "We defer to the authorities and they can handle the situation as they see fit."

For Christ sakes they both wanted out. If you held on to them you'd have a large payroll and a shitty record. Might as well get something for them and rebuild.
