Chapter 184 The Birth of a Super Team
The entire Chesapeake Energy Stadium became a sea of ​​joy, and all Oklahoma fans were filled with happy smiles.

Hornets fans: "This seems to be a hearty game. Although we lost, we are very satisfied with the results of this season!"

Hornets fans: "Suddenly looking forward to next season, I believe our results will be one step closer next season!"

Hornets fans: "Haha, I am the same, I don't know what magical operations Presti will have this summer!"

……

Thunder fans: "Oh my god, my heart is almost out of shock, I finally won!"

Thunder fans: "Although we won the game, I am not happy at all. The opponent is a civilian lineup!"

Thunder fans: "Who said it's a flat lineup, but they have Presti!"

Thunder fans: "Why did I cry after watching the game? If Presti is still here, wouldn't this game be won easily?"

Thunder fans: "Agreed, look at how smooth the Hornets' ball is, and the Thunder's ball is singles, singles!"

……

At the scene, when the game ended, Presti and the Thunder's coaching staff hugged and shook hands one by one,

Westbrook, Durant, Harden, Jordan and others immediately surrounded him!
"Haha, coach, we won," Jordan said excitedly.

"Well, you did a great job in today's game, but you grabbed our rebounds enough!" Presti patted Jordan's arm vigorously.

"Hey, thanks to your coach, now I feel like I'm dreaming, I never thought it would be like this," Little Jordan laughed.

Presti looked at Durant on the other side, took a pat, and said, "You have entered the ranks of superstars! Come on, work hard to become a superstar!"

"Well, I will," Durant affirmed.

Then Presti said to Westbrook: "Don't hit the ball, handle the ball rationally, and you can also become a historical superstar on your terms!"

"Yeah." Westbrook also nodded in understanding.

Then Presti expressed his opinions with Mbah a Moute, Gibson, Livingston, etc., the players he signed and drafted one by one, and then left the court.

At the press conference, Presti faced many reporters and said with a smile: "You know the players on the team, Paul George and Whiteside are just rookies, and Jeremy Lin is just undrafted.

David West only made All-Star appearances in 2008 and 2009. Okafor, Jason Smith, Belinelli, Gordon, etc. have almost no hard honors, but when we lost the superstar Paul,
Relying on their own hard work, they entered the second round of the playoffs. This season is undoubtedly a successful season for the Hornets. "

When asked about his goals for the next season, Presti said confidently: "This season we reached the second round relying on a starless lineup. Then next season, our players will become stronger. Our lowest goal is to enter the Western Conference finals."

Afterwards, the reporter began to ask the players. Although the players seemed a little depressed, they still answered the reporter's questions patiently.

On the plane, the Hornets players still looked a little depressed, after all, they were so close to victory!
Presti got up and smiled and said to everyone: "You should be happy. We have achieved such results under such a configuration, and we should be proud of ourselves! The only teams that entered the playoffs were us and the Nuggets without an All-Star, but the Nuggets were swept by us. If we are all sad, wouldn't the Nuggets cry every day?"

"Haha" the players felt a lot better when they heard Presti say this.

Presti went on to say: "Especially we still had seven bloody battles with the defending champion, and the game was played until the last second. Our players performed very well. In the press conference, I said that I entered the Western Conference finals. In fact, my goal is to enter the finals at the lowest! So forget about the loss just now, because there are still bigger goals waiting for us to achieve!"

The players were depressed, their feelings of regret disappeared without a trace, and they secretly decided that this offseason, they will train hard!

……

The next day, Presti didn't get up until 10 o'clock. The season was over and the offseason was finally ushered in!
But Presti didn't plan to go on vacation, but planned to book the strategy for the next season in advance!

Therefore, he came to the arena with general manager Bob Myers.

As soon as they met, Presti said: "How is it familiar?"

Bob Myers looked very confident: "There should be no problem."

"Well, then next season's team will be in your hands!" Presti patted Bob Myers on the shoulder.

"Well, leave it to me." Bob Myers showed a very trusting smile.

Presti poured Bob Myers a cup of coffee and asked, "What do you think about team building next season?"

Bob Myers quickly got up to catch it, thanked him, and then heard the question from Presti, Bob Myers put down his coffee, and said very calmly: "Next season, Okafor 1254 million, Jarrett Jack 500 million, Gordon 383 million, Belinelli 338 million, Jason Smith 250 million, Paul George 224 million, Whiteside 80, Jeremy Lin 76, a total of 2855 million, we have very Plenty of cap space!

And David West performed very well this season, so the first step is to renew David West’s contract. My plan is to extend it for about 3 years and 2700 million. Then, with your draft ability, this year we have two first rounds and one second round. We will definitely select outstanding rookies, so our roster will have 12 people!
But we still have more than 2000 million salary space, and we can use this space to trade or sign an All-Star or even a superstar! , according to the information I got..."

Just as Bob Myers was about to say something later, Presti waved his hand and interrupted: "Your idea is basically similar to mine, but in the end you don't have to think about signing freely."

Presti went on to say: "The only superstar who can jump out of the contract is Duncan. It is impossible for him to jump out! The rest of the superstars who can jump out of the contract are of little help to our team. The most important thing is the superstar in the team. I have already thought about it!" At the end of the talk, Presti smiled mysteriously.

Bob Myers' interest was suddenly raised, and he asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Presti didn't keep a secret, and said directly: "Stephen Curry!"

"Curry?" Bob Myers' voice suddenly raised, very surprised!
Then he said: "Curry is now in the Thunder, so it is impossible for the Thunder to trade, let alone who to trade? You can't take Paul George, the most important thing is that Curry has been reimbursed, and it is difficult to guarantee his status after returning." Bob Myers said all the doubts at once.
