Mar 13, 2021 — Sam Presti

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Svi Mykhailiuk. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

OKC on 2021-03-13: the listed basketball needs were passing, interior finishing, rebounding. 3 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 3 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Public market context only; no team linklisted needs: passing · interior finishing · rebounding3 candidates — ordered by team link, then need match, then evidence. No target score.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
