Chapter 185 Building a Super Team
Presti did not answer directly, but asked: "How do you think the Thunder played in the playoffs this year? What is the reason? How did the Thunder players perform?"

Bob Myers said directly without any hesitation: "It is much worse than the Thunder you led last year. The reason is of course the coaching problem. As for their performance, to be honest, they are very good. Like Westbrook, Durant, and Harden, they obviously look much better than last year."

"What about the team cap?" Presti asked.

"No doubt the championship," Bob Myers affirmed.

"That's right, this team is still at the championship level without Curry, and before Curry was not injured, this team actually didn't perform that well, right?" Presti said with a smile.

Bob Myers nodded: "Indeed, Curry's style of play doesn't really match the Thunder's."

Presti went on to say: "Our tactics crushed the Thunder from the beginning to the end, but we still lost in the end, relying on the super talents of Westbrook, Durant and others,
Then when Curry returns and performs poorly, and the contract is about to expire next year,
The most important thing is that even if Curry recovers perfectly, he can't improve the team much, so if it's you, do you want to trade for something. "

Bob Myers laughed: "Of course I want to change, but the question is, how do you know that Curry came back and regretted playing poorly? Second, since he played poorly, you dare to trade him?"

"Haha, even if he is not injured, it is difficult for him to perform brilliantly in such a singles team, and after this series, the Thunder will definitely think that their real core is Westbrook, Durant, Harden, etc., because they really led the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals and played very well!

And Curry is a shooter who is regarded as a wide receiver, and his physique is weak. In such a fierce playoffs, the Thunder will not think that he will perform well. Besides, Curry is also injured.

And Curry can only play point guard, the Thunder's back line is overcrowded, Livingston, Matthews are all good, the most important thing is that it is cheap, and Curry's contract extension is not the price! "

Presti laughed, and finally said mysteriously again: "No matter how poorly he played there, come to us, and I can make him a superstar!",

So, the subsequent operation is up to you, you trade it over, and I am Curry's agent, and I will test the pressure with the Thunder about re-signing the contract with Curry. "

Hearing this, Bob Myers continued to ask: "The boss, if they trade with the Thunder, what do they want Paul George?"

"In our team, only Paul George can't move, and the others can be traded!" Presti said lightly.

"Gordon, Whiteside, Jeremy Lin, etc. can also be traded?" Bob Myers was surprised. These people played very well in this series.

"Of course." Presti nodded again.

Hearing what the boss said, Bob Myers understood the value of Curry in his heart. Even though he had doubts about Presti's confidence in his heart, he could only nod in agreement. He could only hope that Curry would indeed be as strong as Presti said.

Bob Myers then asked: "Is there a good seed in this year's draft?"

"Haha, I'm happy when you ask this." Presti couldn't help laughing when he heard Bob Myers' question.

Bob Myers saw Presti laughing like this, and asked curiously: "Is this year's draft very strong? I remember you picked Westbrook in 08, and people like Harden have never been so happy."

Presti put away his smile and said: "This year's players are not as good as many of the players I selected before in terms of physical fitness, and their personal abilities are much worse than those of Westbrook, Harden, and Durant. They are not suitable to be the core of the team."

Bob Myers was even more curious now: "Then why are you so happy?"

"Because the person I chose is the perfect championship puzzle. He can form the most explosive backcourt combination in the league with Curry. With this person and Curry, next year, the Hornets' dynasty will begin!" Presti said confidently.

"Start the dynasty? Who is it?" Bob Myers' curiosity has been completely aroused!

"K... Forget it, I'll tell you on the day of the draft," Presti was about to say, when he suddenly remembered the revelations in his previous life. Although Wo Shen is now in his own group, there is no guarantee that other experts in this life will get the information. If Thompson is selected, he will have no place to cry.

"Uh, okay" Bob Myers didn't force it, and the two then discussed other aspects of the team.

……

Presti went home and thought about the two first-round picks this year, one with the 8th pick, one with the 29th pick, one with Klay Thompson, and the other with Jimmy Butler!
Presti was completely at ease with Klay Thompson's character, but the other Jimmy Butler, Presti decided it would be better to talk to him first, so Presti found out the number he got a long time ago and dialed it.

When dialing, Presti remembered the passionate words of Butler in his previous life:

Am I harsh on him?Yes I am such a person,

I'm not the most talented guy on the team, who is the most talented player?It's Downs
Who is the most favored player of God?It's Wiggins,
Who is the hardest working person?it's me!
I play hard and put my body on the court every day,

Or training, or competition.

This is my passion!
That's how I made you aware of me! . "

In fact, Presti appreciates Jimmy Butler's competitive spirit very much. In the playoffs during the Bulls period, he had the feat of playing 3 consecutive games!Willpower has to be admired!
In the early days, Presti always thought that Jimmy Butler was a cancer in the locker room, but since he said those words and beat the first team with the third team, Presti completely changed his opinion of him. He really wants to win.

Back off ten thousand, even if he becomes stronger and asks for a high salary, so what, the deal is, and he will definitely be able to exchange for a better lottery!
Just thinking about it, a green voice sounded: "Hello, who are you?"

"Presti, Hornets owner"

"Ah?" Butler was taken aback, and he didn't care about anything else. He threw the things in his hands and said excitedly, "Hello." This is Presti, the coach recognized by the league as the most suitable for rookies.

"In this year's draft, I will pick you," Presti said directly.

"Ah! Thank... thank you," Butler was a little incoherent, and Presti called him on purpose, explaining what?It shows that he has great potential!I remembered the draft reports I saw before, all of which said that I had poor talent and no potential, and my vision was a little blurred for a while.
