Brian Windhorst has built his career by reporting on the inner-workings of NBA front offices, and it turns out he almost joined one himself.   In Thursday’s episode of “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” Torre reported that Thunder general manager Sam Presti once explored hiring Windhorst away from ESPN to be an “information guy” for Oklahoma City.   “A little over a decade ago, [Presti] actually explored hiring our extremely plugged-in buddy Brian Windhorst away from ESPN to work as an information guy for the Thunder,” Torre said.
