NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 122 1 Hornets General Manager

The most important thing is that Bob Myers is not just talking, and he announced it together with the new logo. Presti wants to tell everyone that this is a brand new team.

Of course, not all teams will be shocked, as is the case with the Bobcats. When he saw that the New Orleans Hornets were about to change their name, Michael Jordan said directly in front of reporters: "If the Hornets change their name, then we will use this name. We have been waiting for this day for a long time."

In the Hornets office, Bob Myers asked: "Boss, we already have the No. 11 pick this year. Why should we trade the potential Collison and James Posey for the No. 10 pick? It's one position short, so it won't affect much."

"Because I'm looking at two players this year, these two players will help us reach the second round," Presti is very confident.

Bob Myers would not believe it if others said that, but Presti said this, he was just curious, so he asked: "Will the first 9 picks of the two players you fancy be selected?"

"No, they don't have my vision. By the way, what do you think about the future construction of the team?" This is the first time Presti asked about the future construction.

Bob Myers was a little hesitant when he heard Presti's question. He gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind and said, "I don't think it's a good choice to use Chris Paul as the core of the team. Although he is good enough, the team doesn't have anything not for sale."

"Oh? Go on" If Presti didn't know the question he gave Jeff Ball earlier, then Bob Myers does have something,
"I watched a lot of Hornets games in order to apply here. Paul is indeed very good, but Paul has a completely comprehensive style of play and completely controls the rhythm of the field. The advantage of this is that people with poor abilities can perform better. The disadvantage is that people with their own abilities cannot play freely, and Paul's constant minor injuries affect his state too much."

Presti nodded and continued to ask: "Then who do you think we should focus on?"

"The Thunder's Curry, Durant, the Lakers' Kobe, and the Cavaliers' James, but Kobe and James have already become famous, we have no bargaining chips, and their team will not let go. Durant is also faintly becoming a top small forward. The Thunder will definitely not give up.

So the best thing to do here should be Curry, and we still have an advantage, you are still Curry's agent now," Bob Myers thought for a while and said.

Presti was very satisfied when he heard this. Bob Myers is indeed the person who built the Warriors into a dynasty in his previous life, and he is indeed expected.

In a blink of an eye, time came to June 6, and the 24 draft will be held today.

In the evening, New York’s Madison Square Garden was full of people. Elites from various schools were already waiting, hoping to be selected to realize their dream of becoming a basketball superstar. When Presti appeared on the scene, the crowd suddenly became commotion. People didn’t expect that Presti would come to the scene in person after becoming the boss.

The reporters immediately surrounded Presti, "Presti, how does it feel to be the owner of a team?" As soon as the question came out, the reporters around laughed.

Presti also cooperated with the reporter and said sadly: "It's too bad. I can't sleep when I think of paying money to the league. I already have dark circles."

"Haha" The reporters laughed at Presti's expression, Presti is still so interesting.

"Presti, may I ask when the name of the team will be changed, and what is the team's goal for the new season?" The reporter continued to ask.

Hearing this question, Presti moved a step to the left, revealing Bob Myers behind him, and said, "Ask this question to the general manager of our team. In addition, this general manager's signing is the most exciting one I have signed so far, bar none."

Bob Myers was very moved when he heard Presti say this. When Bob Myers applied for the job, he thought that he might not enjoy the spotlight, he would not be valued by the media, and he would become the subject of discussion.
It's because Presti, the boss, is so dazzling, the media will pay more attention to Presti and the players selected by Presti, but he didn't expect Presti to be willing to take the initiative to push himself out in front of reporters.

At this time, the reporters realized that Presti had accepted the appointment of the new general manager. Is there anyone more suitable to be a manager than Presti? The reporters immediately showed Miles the camera.
Miles said in high spirits: "The application has been submitted to the league. It is expected that the team will officially change its name to the Pelicans by this time next year. As for the goal of the new season is to reach the second round."

Seeing this, Presti slowly backed out, because just now he saw a figure.

Who did he see?Jeremy Lin, who was undrafted in the NBA in 2010 in his previous life, played "Linsanity" in the Knicks in the 2011-2012 season!It seems that the team has a backup point guard, maybe it is the answer for the team to surpass the sixth man?

Myers also finished the interview over there, so he sat down with Presti. I don’t know if it was fate, but the Thunder team was next to him. After Presti left, the team accepted Dell Demps as the new general manager, and Dell Demps was also the general manager of the Pelicans in his previous life.

Thunder assistant Troy Weaver and assistant coach Cheeks also saw Presti, and immediately got up and gave Presti a hug. Presti exchanged a few words, and a few minutes later, the draft officially began!

Presti took out a pen and paper and wrote: No. 10 pick Paul George. Avery Bradley was signed on the 11th, Hasson Whiteside was signed on the 31st, and another paragraph was written in the last line. After the draft, Jeremy Lin was signed.

When he was done, Presti handed the paper to Miles.

Miles opened the note suspiciously, and opened his eyes wide in an instant. Paul George guessed it, but why did he choose Avery Bradley on the 11th?His forecasted pick was in the top 31, and he still had to pick an undrafted pick in the end. Did he know that the other party would be an undrafted pick? Besides, he was a yellow man by name. Except for Yao Ming of the Rockets, no yellow man had ever succeeded before.

Although my mind is full of doubts, Presti's previous draft is too good, so even if he is puzzled, he will do it.

The assistant coach next to him noticed that Miles saw the note strangely, and felt very itchy. He knew very well that the note must be the draft list written by Presti.

After handing over the list to Miles, Presti left the draft scene, so his future father-in-law called!
