Chapter Ninety-Two: Weak Thunder, Hongdae's Future Plan!

According to the law of workplace rules, when the meeting is over, the leader will leave you alone, and there is nothing good about designating you.

It's either asking you to work overtime, or it's giving you some problems.

It is not difficult to see from Durant's resentful eyes that Sam Presti is "uneasy and kind", but Callesimo did not react and walked straight out of the office.

Sam Presti smiled and beckoned Lin Mu to sit down again, and then took out a list of players from the drawer behind him.

"Huh?" Lin Mu took it from Sam Presti suspiciously, he didn't understand what the general manager was playing.

"As you can see, this is the current roster and the likely picks for next year's draft, and as the future core of the team, I think you're in a position to have some input." Sam Presti said, but there are so many elements in just one sentence.

Sam Presti, the general manager of the team, will not chat with Lin Mu about useless nonsense for no reason, and the seemingly ordinary list of players contains the future development direction of the Thunder team.

What is the most important thing about a team?

Without a doubt, the players are the most important thing!

As the Oklahoma City Thunder who have just moved to a new city, rebuilding is inevitable, and the selection of players in the rebuilding process is also particularly important.

In the current list of players, Lin Mu even saw the words of head coach Callesimo, but the only thing that was not was the names of Lin Mu and Durant.

Such an obvious hint that Lin Mu would be a little stupid if he didn't understand it anymore.

Except for Lin Mu and Durant, all players of the Thunder team, including the head coach, can be traded, as long as it is conducive to the development of the team, Sam Presti will not hesitate to treat every player as a commodity and put it on the shelf.

In the commercial league, the most inhumane team trade, every player is involuntarily and may be traded at any time.

Lin Mu and Durant are just more valuable, and Sam Presti won't be stupid to give them up until he gets better chips.

As for the draft list behind, after reading the staffing of the Thunder team, Lin Mu also knew what the Thunder management was thinking.

In the whole team, there are very few players with combat effectiveness at present, Yin Bacca is still training in the Spanish league, and he can't return to the team for the time being, and Jordan Jr., as an inside player, still needs to do a lot of things.

Jeff Green, as the No. 5 pick in the first round of the Celtics swap for Ray Allen that year, is also just a rookie and is overwhelmed.

As a sophomore rookie, although Durant was given a lot of training opportunities during his freshman years, wanting to climb to the sky is tantamount to a dream.

Even Lin Mu himself has a lot to improve, and it may be very difficult for Thunder to show his strength this year.

As for the remaining players, Shu Lin Mu was presumptuous, and none of them could get into the eye.

Nenad Kostic?

A slow-moving interior player, when Jordan Jr. and Yin Bacca grow up, his tactical status will definitely decline year by year.

Saab Seferosa?

The players who have been selected for the defensive team are young and energetic, but they are limited to excellent on the defensive end, and the output on the offensive end is extremely rare.

Well?

How can there be a Shaun Livingston?

The only thing that impressed Lin Mu was probably Livingston, who performed brilliantly during the Warrior Dynasty.

It's a pity that he has been seriously injured now, and the ghost knows how much strength he can have, so let's count it as half a defective product for the time being.

Looking at the entire team, Lin Mu finally came to the conclusion that there is no combat effectiveness at all!

Then this 2009 draft list, the purpose is about to come out!

Thunder wants to continue to rot and continue to Taobao!

But what do you mean by what do you want to hear from me?

I'm a rookie on the team, so I'm qualified to speak on that?

Even if you say that I am the future core of the team, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate, right?

Lin Mu lowered his head and pondered, he couldn't figure out Sam Presti's true purpose, but everyone opened their mouths to ask, they couldn't just say a word, right?

"Do you already have a match?" Lin Mu asked tentatively at Sam Presti.

"Hahaha! You kid goblin, it's okay, speak your mind, you know about it, no third person knows. Sam Presti, as a veteran in the workplace, couldn't guess Lin Mu's careful thinking.

This kid doesn't want to take the blame!

But it is precisely because of this that Sam Presti wants to hear Lin Mu's advice.

Keeping Lin Mu is not a whim of Sam Presti, whether it is the team's bad plan or next year's draft, it is closely related to Lin Mu himself.

As for Kevin Durant, Sam Presti also talked to him in the same way and came to a conclusion that wasn't good.

"Damn, there's no escaping at all!"

Lin Mu pursed his lips, since that's the case...

"Let's change coaches, I don't think Callesimo is a good fit for the Thunder in the rebuild."

"The team is currently lacking a core point guard, and next year's draft should be selected in that direction."

"First-round picks are crucial, and if there are any more player changes this year, I want the team to keep all of them."

Lin Mu glanced at the Thunder's first-round picks in 2009, including the lottery picks they obtained, and there were actually two low-pick first-round picks.

You must know that there are a lot of high-quality players in 2009, and with so many draft picks, Lin Mu is confident that the team will become even larger!

As for the specific list of personnel, Lin Mu did not elaborate, at least for now, he is not qualified to make decisions on the draft personnel.

There is only one year, in the case of the Thunder's lack of sufficient combat effectiveness, Lin Mu must show his due value, and only in this way can he gain a certain amount of voice when the draft conference comes.

The NBA is such a reality, and it is better to say less when it does not have enough value.

Just click it, Lin Mu didn't go on, there must be a lot of problems within a rebuilding team, but those are not what Lin Mu needs to consider, how to cooperate with his teammates on the court to play an excellent performance is the focus of Lin Mu's attention.

Therefore, Lin Mu only expressed his views on the weakness of the head coach and the team's lineup.

Furthermore, Lin Mu has no right to interfere.

Hearing this, general manager Sam Presti touched his chin and obviously had some ideas.

"Callesimo's coaching style doesn't really suit the Thunder, but not every manager is willing to take over a rebuilding team."

"The risks are self-evident, and it will be very difficult to get a capable manager." Sam Presti muttered to herself, but as if on purpose, her eyes kept falling on Lin Mu's body.

Indeed, those managers prefer to coach an existing powerhouse rather than be involved in a rebuilding plan.

That will delay them a lot of time, and the end result will often be a little bad.

For a team like this, it is very difficult to find someone who can do the same.

"I had a brief conversation with Kobe Bryant during the Olympics, and after learning that I was selected by the Thunder, he recommended me an assistant coach who could help me grow quickly."

"Scott Brooks, yes, he's one of the assistant coaches on the Thunder team."

Lin Mu said with the old god there, and completely pushed the pot to his big brother Kobe.

"Scott? He's really capable..."Sam Presti was lost in thought, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

The conversation ended in silence, and when Lin Mu walked out of the office door, Durant had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"Brother! You're finally out, let's go, I'll take you to meet your teammates who are about to fight side by side. ”

"What, what did the general manager tell you, is it convenient to reveal?" Durant's thiefy little eyes looked a little funny.

Young man, you really have something to say.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, Lin Mu repeated it one by one, but the words of the core player were symbolically erased by Lin Mu.

Durant isn't stupid, and he can't hear it, but the team's rebuilding plan has been executed, and the current staffing is indeed very weak, and Sam Presti's idea is not wrong at least in the eyes of outsiders.

But Lin Mu stepped into the alliance, not to show off!

When facing Sam Presti, Lin Mu can only think with bad ideas, but in front of Durant, Lin Mu must tell the truth!

"Adu, are you willing to continue to mess up in the new season?" On the way, Lin Mu said to Durant with a serious expression.

"Of course not! Who doesn't want better grades? If I could, I would even like to lead the Thunder on a playoff charge! ”

Durant's eyes widened, and that pure basketball heart hadn't completely deteriorated, at least for now.

"Why not?" Lin Mu grinned, and Durant's heart was a little hairy.

"Can it be done? You probably don't know much about the team, and there are really not many players who can fight. "After a year of team experience, Durant will certainly have a better understanding of the current situation of the team.

"Maybe you can't do it alone, but what about me?"

"You know my strength better than anyone else, if we join forces, we will definitely be able to stir up some trouble in the new season!"

"Let's not talk about the playoffs, that's our ultimate goal."

"Go all out, do your best, that's what we young people should do!"

"If the Thunder can get better and better under our leadership, is the management willing to continue to mess around?"

"You don't want your career to be spent in this situation, do you?"

"Don't you want a championship?"

One hit!

If he didn't want to win a championship, Durant wouldn't have chosen to join the Warriors and be infamous through the ages!

It can be seen that every basketball superstar has the ultimate pursuit of honor in his heart.

Under the pie painting, Durant's heart is already surging!

"If you really can, I'm willing to give it a try with you!"

...

"Ding, congratulations to the host Kevin Durant's character friendship has increased by ten points."

"Current Relationship Figure: Kevin Durant (45/100)"

"Elements of character relationship template building: [Durant - Death Shot]!"

[Durant - Grim Reaper]: The current proficiency level is 15%.

Effect: None.

Listening to the prompts in his ears, Lin Mu had reason to believe that Durant was serious!

With that, only the final preparations remain.

Whether Callesimo can be replaced by Scott Brooks before the start of the season will be a crucial part of Lin Mu's plan!
