NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 186 Building a Super Team
Presti never thought that Butler's eyes would be blurry at this time. In his impression, Butler was a tough guy!
Presti continued: "Many people think that you have poor talent, especially static talent. Your wingspan is too short and your offensive skills are few. It is difficult to survive in the NBA. Even if you enter the NBA to survive, you will be just a blue-collar player."

Hearing this, Butler bit his lips tightly, and at the same time clenched his fists fiercely, as if his hands were about to sink into the flesh, he was not reconciled!
Then I heard Dao Presti's words change: "But they can't see your most important quality, that is hard work! You have a strong heart, a tenacious will, and a spirit of never admitting defeat. In my opinion, these qualities are more important than anything else, including the so-called physical talent!"

Butler heard that his eyes were brighter than ever before, and his clenched fists slowly loosened. He felt that he had met a noble person in his life, a person who understood him, and his heart kept springing up: "I want to play for you, the sound of playing ball!"

Although Presti couldn't see Butler's state at this time, he knew that Butler would be very grateful and very happy. After all, a child who was abandoned by his parents was very eager to be noticed and praised. Moreover, he was praised by the best coach in the NBA.

Presti continued: "The NBA has never lacked talented people, but there is no shortage of people with outstanding physical talents who eventually faded out of the NBA. Only those who work hard and train hard to improve themselves can gain a foothold in the NBA. I am very optimistic about you. I can assure you that you are an All-Star with me!"

At this moment, Butler clenched his fists again and gritted his teeth tightly, but this time it was no longer anger and sorrow, but excitement and excitement. Of course, it was more of the joy of realizing his dream. He really wanted to roar now to vent the burning flame in his heart.

"So would you like to come to my place?" Presti asked with a smile.

"I would, I would... I would, I would" Butler was incoherent because he was too excited, he was so happy.

Presti heard Butler's excitement, and finally said: "Goodbye, remember not to tell others about tonight's conversation, otherwise I won't be able to choose you!"

"Mmm! Mmm!" Butler nodded desperately.

When he hung up the phone, Butler rushed out of the house, roaring fiercely with all his strength!

……

Presti, who put down the phone, thought about calling Klay Thompson, because when Thompson and Butler communicated, it would be bad if he only called Butler but not Thompson.

So the call was made to Thompson's house, and when he got through, Presti asked directly, "Is this Klay Thompson?"

"Well, you are?" Thompson asked, who is looking for him so late.

"Hello, I'm Presti, Hornets boss," Presti said with a smile.

"Ah, hello, hello." Thompson is not as excited as Butler, because he is very sure that he will be selected in the first round this year, and the approximate pick will be around 20. That's right. In fact, Klay Thompson's predicted pick was 23 back then, but the Warriors picked it with the 11th pick.

Presti didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I have a Shunwen in the 8th round this year, and I want to pick you. Would you like to come?"

Now, Thompson is really not calm. Now everyone knows that being selected by Presti means that you will have a bright future in the league, and now Presti actually wants to choose himself with the eighth pick!But I was predicted to be in the 20th pick. Could it be that I have a special talent?

With doubts, Thompson said: "Hello, I have read the draft reports on the Internet, most of which predict the top 20 picks, and I have also looked at the players ahead of me. They should all have better talents than me. Why did you choose me with such a precious pick?"

Hearing this, Presti said confidently: "Because I have the best vision in the league, I can see your best side. You have a very good shooting touch and a very good defense. You are the most perfect championship map. If you come to me, you will be the core of our backcourt, and I am also confident that I can win the championship this year.

So, Klay Thompson, would you like to come to the New Orleans Hornets? "

"I am willing, I am willing" Klay Thompson quickly agreed. The compliment Presti gave him just now was already very excited. When he said that he would be the core of the backcourt and win the championship, he couldn't help it.

If someone said this, he would only be happy and would not believe it, but he had to believe what Presti said. Who is Presti, the owner of the Hornets, the best coach,
And he has just traded Paul, the currently recognized No. [-] point guard, which shows that he will not stay at all if he does not meet the team building philosophy, or he is not optimistic. If he does not meet his requirements, he will not make this call at all, and there is no need to lie to himself.

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Presti continued: "Don't tell others, or I won't be able to choose you. If someone else chooses you, they will probably pay you. After all, they only ranked you as the 22nd overall pick, which means they don't know how to bring out your greatest potential!".

"Yeah, yeah," Thompson agreed right away.

After putting down the phone, Thompson immediately gathered his parents together and told what happened just now. If Presti knew about it, he would be very speechless, but fortunately, Thompson's parents didn't hear about it.

And Presti, who put down the phone, shouted happily!
Then next season's lineup will become: Curry, Klay Thompson, Paul George, David West, Whiteside, Jeremy Lin, Gordon, Jimmy Butler, Belinelli, Jason Smith, Okafor, Jack, and second-round picks,

And there are still two spots. Presti intends to sign two veterans to increase his experience in the playoffs. If the spots appear again when Curry is traded, then he will still sign veterans. Veterans can be a very valuable asset in the playoffs.

Thinking of next season's fantasy lineup, Presti laughed again,
Because next season, the Hornets will usher in: the Western Conference finals, the finals, and the championship! , Create a new history of New Orleans basketball!
Just as she was thinking beautifully, the phone rang.

"What are you doing? You didn't come to see me after the game? Forgot what I said?" Anjali complained.

When he heard that it was Anjali, Presti immediately said happily: "Haha, how could I forget, that was the most exciting day for me, and I will go to you tomorrow!"

"Hmph, the devil will believe it, don't come looking for me, when will you get there, I've already booked the ticket, you can see me tomorrow" Anjali said coquettishly.

"Hey, you're the most obedient." Presti suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He was only busy with the team, and he often ignored her.

"Hmph, you know, it's too late, I'll hang up first, pick me up tomorrow, if you forget, you'll be finished," Anjali said fiercely.

"No, no, good night," Presti laughed.

After saying "good night", Anjali hung up the phone.

Presti, on the other hand, carefully planned what to do that day.
