NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 48 This lineup is invincible
When Presti announced that he would trade Dragic and Baron Davis, most teams in the league showed a lot of interest. Presti recalled the draft in his previous life, and he used the Timberwolves, the Kings, and the Warriors as the targets of the trade.

The Timberwolves currently have the No. 5 and No. 6 picks, the Kings have the No. 4 pick, and the Warriors have the No. 7 pick.

So Presti briefly chatted with the managers of these three teams. The Warriors and Kings made it clear that they would not trade draft picks, so only the Timberwolves were left.

Early in the morning, Presti arrived in Minnesota by plane, and the general manager of the Timberwolves arranged for someone to take Presti to a well-known local hotel.

As soon as Presti arrived in the room, David Kahn came to embrace with a smile. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides began formal negotiations.

Presti looked at David Kahn in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his series of magical operations in his previous life, especially in the 2009 draft in his previous life, he selected as many as three point guards, and the 5th and 6th picks all missed Curry.

而选择了三名后卫后，又将18号签的泰劳森交易到了丹佛掘金，结果后者打出了生涯最佳，尤其在2011年4月10日对阵森林狼时居然打出了37分7个篮板6次助攻的恐怖数据。

This is not over yet, David Kahn actually signed Darko Milicic for more than 1600 million in three years.

Presti stopped talking nonsense and said seriously: "We use Baron Davis and Dragic for your No. 6 pick this year, the top three protected first-round pick in 2010 and the unprotected first-round pick in 2011."

David Kahn's eyes widened, and he thought in his heart that there would be such a good thing. Dragic's potential could even be signed with a No. [-] pick, and Baron Davis' performance, he believed, would definitely bring the Timberwolves into the playoffs.

David Kahn was afraid that Presti would repent, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I agree"

Presti got up and stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Then we have a good cooperation. By the way, I remember that you have an extra first-round pick in 2010. Otherwise, the league will not allow the trade of first-round picks for two consecutive years."

David Kahn hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." He was really afraid of going back on his word, especially after seeing the Thunder's 18-game winning streak in the second half, Davis is simply a killer.

Presti did not accept David Kahn's persuasion, but quickly got on the plane to North Carolina. He wanted to have a good talk with Curry, because Curry in his previous life directly refused to try out for the Thunder.

In the hotel, Presti finally met Curry. Before Presti went to Minnesota, he had already made an appointment with Curry.

As soon as they met, Curry crossed his hands on his chest and said, "I want to go to the Big Apple in New York. It's useless if you say it's breaking the sky. I promised to meet you just to get to know you, a manager who doesn't report every day."

Thin and short. This is Presti's first impression when he saw Curry. No wonder Curry in his previous life was called a primary school student.

With such a figure, the old Nelson dared to bet that if Presti hadn't opened his eyes, he would not have the courage to choose Curry.

But in the muscular NBA, Curry looks really cute, and it's not surprising that he has such a huge fan base.

Presti sat across from Curry and showed a reassuring smile. If you are familiar with Presti, you know that he is going to start fooling around again.

"Do you think there is a way to gain a foothold in this league with your physical condition? The people who defend you will not be as gentle as in the NCAA, allowing you to shoot so many three-pointers."

Curry was obviously not convinced, just about to speak,

Presti suppressed his hand and continued: "I believe many people have said this to you. Do you think that when you face super defensive pressure, can you still shoot so easily? Or can you maintain the balance of your hands and body so easily?
And as far as I know, the Knicks, who hold the No. 8 pick, don't seem to want to draft you."

At this time, Curry's gaze was obviously downward, and his heart was shaken.

Presti took the opportunity to say: "But I can let you play without any scruples, I can let you play the core point guard of the Thunder, I will let everyone pick and roll for you, let you take three-pointers one by one,

You know Jordan, do you imagine how someone of this size and the speed of the day will pick and roll for you, Durant will pick and roll for you, Westbrook will pick and roll for you, and Jeff Green will pick and roll for you? "

Hearing Presti's words, Curry began to struggle. If after he went to the Thunder, those people would pick and roll for him and let him shoot as he wanted.

At this time, the Big Apple City of New York jumped out again, and its prosperity and its legend also tempted Curry all the time.

Presti spotted Curry's struggle, and then delivered a final blow: "I promise you, I will make you an epoch-making superstar."

When Presti said this, Curry's eyes lit up and he said, "I'd like to go to Oklahoma."

Presti shouted excitedly: "YSE!" Thinking about what kind of team has Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Durant, Thompson in 2011, Jordan, Mbah a Moute, Ibaka, and Jeff Green,
If people in future generations see this lineup, I believe 99.9% of them will involuntarily shout: "Thunder champion, NBA finale!".

Before leaving, Presti told Curry that he would win him with the No. 6 pick, and told him not to tell the outside world that he had seen him, and not to try out for other teams. For the sake of the epoch-making superstar, Curry agreed.

After returning to Oklahoma, Presti contacted Ibaka, who was far away in Europe, and the call was connected quickly. Before Presti had time to speak, Ibaka's eager voice sounded: "General manager, can I go back? I have practiced three-pointers and mid-range shots every day this year, and I have already practiced them."

"Well, come back, I will immediately contact your club to buy out, you will be our starting power forward," Presti said very seriously.

After receiving the affirmative answer from the general manager, Ibaka was very excited. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't wait to tell his family.

Presti immediately contacted his assistant and asked him to pay the Spanish team's buyout contract fee for Ibaka.

Livingston did not have a team sign at this time. When the free market opened, Livingston immediately offered a contract. In the 2009 draft, Presti will use the No. 3 pick to take Harden, the No. 6 pick to take Curry, and the No. 24 pick to take Gibson. Thinking of this
Presti picked up the pen next to him and wrote down the Thunder's lineup: starting Curry, Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka, Jordan Jr.

Subs: Livingston, Harden, Jeff Green, Mbah a Moute, Gibson.Then in 2010, he relied on the Timberwolves to win Paul George and Thompson in 2011.

Presti looked at the lineup on the paper and really wanted to shout, Thunder is invincible!
