I'm good at basketball too

Li Ran knew what happened in an instant.

This silly woman actually bought the Hornets!

However, now seems to be the time.

Because of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is almost no man's land. Their owners tried to sell the team for $[-] million, but they couldn't sell it.

In the original time and space, Stern finally stepped forward and managed the team for [-] million US dollars in the name of the league.

Taylor Swift must have seen the Hornets sold so cheaply, so she managed to buy them.

To be honest, it’s not a loss to buy a mature NBA team at a price of about [-] million!

However, half of the 5 minutes has passed, and Li Ran has no time to ask Taylor for more details.

His brain was racing, and finally, under Taylor's constant urging, he said, "Kentucky guard, Eric Bledsoe!"

Without further ado, Taylor hung up the phone.

Li Ran lay back on the chair in disbelief.

He hasn't slowed down yet.

With the No.11 pick, the Hornets did not choose Cole Aldridge as they did in history, but chose Eric Bledsoe, nicknamed "Blood Cloth".

Li Ran hurriedly said hello to Paojiao at the pier, and hurried out.

In a secluded corner of the Madison Garden Arena, the smiling Meimei looked at Li Ran who was a little out of control.

"You didn't even discuss it with me, so you did such a big thing quietly."

Li Ran was half surprised and half blamed and said to Taylor Swift.

"Didn't I just want to help you?"

Meimei pouted and said.

Li Ran has a severe headache.

"It's impossible for David Stern not to know the relationship between the two of us. How could he let you take over the Hornets? Besides, how much did you spend?"

"Twenty-five million yuan is exactly all the money I have saved in the past few years, so, next, it is up to you to support me." Taylor Swift said with a smile, "Besides, Stern knows the relationship between the two of us." , but he needs my fame to continue to develop the NBA market, so he turned a blind eye."

Indeed, Taylor Swift is now the most famous female singer of the new generation in the United States and even in the world, and her potential in the music world is almost the same as Li Ran's potential in the basketball world.

You must know that the influence of a team owner who is out of the circle like Taylor Swift is completely unmatched by those professional sports businessmen.

"By the way, do you want to come to the Hornets to play? I can trade you with the whole team, as long as the Grizzlies are willing to let people go."

Li Ran shook his head. At this moment, he finally calmed down and began to think about what this sudden incident could bring to him.

First of all, he will definitely not go to New Orleans. After he goes, there is really no way to explain it. Even Stern can't allow Li Ran to go to the team owned by Taylor Swift.

In addition, Pera was almost obedient to Li Ran, and Li Ran had no reason to leave here regardless of emotion or reason.

However, there are still many advantages for Li Ran to have such a team that he actually controls.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of trading, these two teams are actually one.

"I remember that you still have a No. 28 pick. Give that pick to the Grizzlies first. The Grizzlies will not let you down."

Li Ran suddenly thought of something and said something to Taylor Swift.

Taylor nodded obediently, took out her cell phone and made a call.

Soon, Cole's phone call came.

"Lee, the Hornets said to give us their No. 28 pick. What's the matter?"

"I got this. You use the No. 28 pick to choose center Hassan Whiteside from Marshall University. That's it for now. I have something else to do." Li Ran said a few words before hanging up. phone.

Although Li Ran has come to his senses, his brain is still buzzing.

"The draft is over, you go back to Memphis with me." In the end, Li Ran spoke slowly.

In this draft, Li Ran not only helped the Grizzlies choose pickled peppers in the plan, but even had an unexpected joy of being selected by Dabai.

Although Dabaibian needs to be cultivated, it is just right for the current Grizzlies.

It's perfect to be Xiaojia's substitute and eat the cake to protect the frame.

On the way back, Li Ran kept thinking about the Grizzlies and Hornets.

This time it really became the palm of the hand and the back of the hand are all flesh.

You can't let your girlfriend lose money, right?

The better the Hornets play, the faster Taylor Swift will recover.

For a moment, Li Ran had the feeling that he was playing NBA2K manager mode.

No, I am obviously a player.

After making complaints, Li Ran still sighed when he saw Taylor sitting next to him sleeping soundly with an eye mask on.

Obviously, Taylor Swift has been exhausted for this deal these days.

After all, it was too hasty.

Leaving aside the Grizzlies' signings this offseason, Li Ran first considered the Hornets.

The Hornets are undoubtedly a competitive team, and they are doing the right thing in building a lineup with Paul and David West as the core.

However, being competitive does not mean being competitive.

The Hornets didn't even make the playoffs this season because of Paul's injury.

Add to that the natural and man-made disasters of New Orleans.

Taylor Swift was able to acquire the Hornets at an ultra-low price of 2.5 million US dollars. In fact, it can be called the right time, place and people in another aspect.

Staying in New Orleans is not a long-term solution. Li Ran has already considered which city to move the Hornets to in a few years.

The premise is that he has money.

Fortunately, Li Ran helped the Hornets choose the blood cloth.

As a 1.8-meter-eight guard, Xuebu has won one first defense and one second defense in his career.

After thinking about it for a short time, Li Ran first decided on the Hornet's next direction.

Defense!

coach?Ready-made, Mike Brown, who was just fired by the Cavaliers.

It just so happened that Byron Scott was poached by the Cavaliers, and the two were regarded as exchanging clubs.

On the back line, although the combination of Paul and blood cloth is a little bit shorter in height, there is no doubt about its defensive ability.

On the front line, Peja is a pure shooter, and David West's defensive ability is also average.

Just in time for this year to be the big year of the free market, so let's play a little bigger!
Several transactions slowly appeared in Li Ran's mind.

"Li, how should we trade in the next free market?" Cole came behind Li Ran and asked softly.

Li Ran smiled charmingly.

Not only the Hornets have to work hard, but the Grizzlies have even bigger jobs!
He had already set his sights on a target, and now with the help of the Hornets, he felt that the chances of getting that guy over were even greater.

By the way, there are bulls who can also talk!
If the two parties fail to make a deal, it will be a three-party deal; if the three-party deal fails, it will be a four-party deal!
Li Ran is determined to make the NBA in this time and space he travels to be a little bit different from the original time and space.

Three days later, the free agent market officially opened.

For a total of twelve days, the first day seemed extremely peaceful. Obviously, almost everyone was watching. (end of this chapter)
