Chapter 59 The Almighty Presti

"Presti, may I ask if you were sleeping in your seat just now?" The reporters immediately asked after surrounding Presti.

"No, absolutely not, you read it wrong," Presti said, nodding affirmatively at the reporters.

The reporters all rolled their eyes, and opened their eyes again to speak nonsense!You clearly fell asleep just now, but the assistant coach didn't wake you up at first...,
A reporter could only ask: "Then what were you doing half lying on the chair and covering your head with a towel just now?"

"Oh, I was thinking," Presti replied.

"Then why cover your face with a towel?" The reporter continued to ask.

"Haha, the glare of the lights affects my thinking," Presti replied with a smile.

"..." The reporter was speechless.

"May I ask if Davis and Dragic did not perform at their level in the Thunder today, does it mean that they only performed well under your system?"

"Of course not. Davis has already proved himself in the league. Before he came to the Thunder, he already had an amazing black eight, and Dragic's statistics last season cannot be created by a system. They just don't adapt to it." Presti affirmed.

"Even though they played very well last season, you still decided to trade and just changed the pick. Does it mean that their strength has been capped last season, or that their potential is far inferior to the rookie you selected?" The reporter threw another bomb question, and it seems that it must be a big news.

Presti spread his hands helplessly when he heard this: "Of course not, I just don't want to delay the development of Davis and Dragic. Davis' strength has proved that he can lead the team to go very far, and Dragic almost won the best rookie. They should have a brighter future, and we are only the penultimate team last season."

The reporters snapped wildly!What does this mean, self-defeating?

The reporter quickly asked: "Then what is your goal for this year's team?"

It's over, I dug a hole for myself. If the goal is to win the championship this year, why trade away Davis, who I just praised, and slap myself in the face?Presti held back, raised his finger and pointed at the reporter, and said for a long time: "You are a bit of a bad reporter. The goal is that rookies can play 100% of their strength in every game."

Presti continued: "Interview with the players, they are the protagonists." After speaking, Presti immediately pushed through the crowd and returned to the locker room.

When the reporters saw that Presti was gone, instead of interviewing the players, they immediately surrounded Timberwolves general manager David Kahn!
David Kahn was so depressed. When the game was in the third quarter, the boss sent a text message. What kind of deal did you make?That Davis made mistakes in addition to hitting the iron, and Dragic was just okay, but he was far behind the Thunder rookie. When he thought that the chip was the opponent's Curry, his heart ached.

The next day, the photos of Presti sleeping on the Timberwolves bench and standing up when he suddenly woke up were made into various emoticons by netizens. What's more, they were actually made into videos, and then added various dialogues, which became popular in all chat software!
But more popular than Presti, of course, is David Kahn!

David Kahn actually occupied the headlines of various websites. "Sports Illustrated" wrote: "Do you still remember the expression and bold words of David Kahn who just traded with the Thunder at the press conference? Then on the left is a proud picture of the press conference and the gloomy face last night, forming a sharp contrast!
ESPN: This is a classic case of trade failure, last night's game profoundly proved this point, and then @DavidKahn, how about the Thunder trading Curry for your Dragic and Davis?And with the emoticon of /laughing and crying/laughing and crying"

On the plane, Presti smiled wryly when he looked at the newspaper his assistant gave him before boarding the plane. The media hurt David Kahn so much. Whoever makes a deal with me in the future will not be able to evaluate for a long time.

This year the Thunder will play an away game against the New Jersey Nets, another bottom team. Presti said it was too simple, but the Thunder's early schedule this season is indeed too simple. The first 28 games only consist of the Bulls, Hornets, and Suns. The Trail Blazers are playoff teams, and the rest are lottery teams!
Well, let's set a small goal, 28 consecutive victories!As for the Lakers in Game 29, Presti really couldn't guarantee a win. After all, the Lakers had just won the championship and they were in full swing, and the Thunder only had so many games after the offseason.

While Presti was thinking, Curry came over and said, "Coach, I have something to ask."

"Oh? Let's talk about it," Presti straightened his body, and pointed to the seat next to him.

"Under Armour gave me a contract, should I sign it? I don't have an agent at the moment, can you be my agent?" Curry questioned. Curry has been struggling for the past few days. The reason is that he wants to sign with Nike, but Nike has not contacted him until now, and Under Armor has given him enough sincerity, so he is a little shaken.

It just so happened that after chatting with Westbrook in the past few days, I found out that the agent of several rookies on the team, including Presti, including Harden, Westbrook, Ibaka, Jordan Jr., Jeff Green, Mbah a Moute, Livingston, and Matthews, and the sneaker contract Presti went to negotiate,

Presti became an omnipotent person in Curry's heart, so Curry immediately came to ask Presti for advice, and of course he hoped that Presti would become his agent!

Presti was taken aback, he didn't expect Curry to say that, and asked, "Don't you have an agent now?"

Curry shook his head and said no,

"1% of salary, 15% of advertising, and I will take care of the rest," Presti said of his request.

Curry was stunned when he heard this. He thought he heard it wrong, and immediately asked: "Manager, you just said that the salary is 1%, and the advertisement is 15%?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Presti looked at Curry and asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just think it's too little." Curry expressed his doubts. It's no wonder that well-known NBA agents generally charge 4% commission, and advertisements generally get 20%! , although Presti had never been an agent before, but his ability must be the most powerful one.

"Haha, quite a few, go back and rest quickly, don't worry about the sneaker contract, I'll finalize it." Presti patted Curry's arm.

After Curry went back, he immediately told Gibson that Gibson was also worried about this matter these days. Hearing what Curry said, Gibson also immediately approached Presti.

As for why Durant is not under his banner, the reason is very simple. Durant, the second highest high school student in the United States, already had his own agent before he ran for the election, and Presti had no idea of ​​winning people's love.

It didn't take long for New Jersey to arrive, and the Thunder started the third game of the regular season.
