I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 270 Purely by luck (second update)
Larry Riley thought that Min Congda was mocking, but in fact Min Congda was really asking for advice with an open mind.

Hearing Riley's answer, Min Congda thought to himself that Sterling was a walking dead puppet to him.

If he can help, what tasks do I have to complete? Isn't it over if I entrust the team to him?

Min Congda patiently explained: "I don't mean to laugh at you, I just hope to gain some useful experience."

Riley sighed and said: "You are right, the experience of failure is also experience, so I will briefly talk about it."

The Warriors' previous failures cannot be said to be all failures of the management, but more because of the boss's misconduct.

Every NBA team is a company, and different companies have different management structures and styles.

Some team owners have big businesses, and NBA teams are only a part of many industries. In this way, professional managers are usually hired to take care of them.

Some teams have many bosses and are a large consortium without an absolute boss. This kind of team will also be taken care of by professional managers.

There are also teams where the owner's family dominates, and they revolve around the team all day long without other things, and they have to get involved in everything.

Like Sterling before, Cohan of the Warriors, Cuban of the Mavericks (Kuban is mainly because of love), etc., are all typical examples of bosses who like to join forces blindly.

Riley detailed what Cohan has done in the Warriors for more than ten years. Regardless of business operations, there are too many books in team building.

The No. 1994 pick in the [-] season, Webber, jumped out of the contract as the best rookie. Naturally, there was a problem with Weber, but it was also related to the boss's preference for Nelson in the conflict between Weber and Nelson.

That's why Weber left his 15-year contract of 7400 million yuan, jumped out of the contract and went to the Wizards to join forces with Juwan Howard.

But if you are partial to Nelson, you can be biased. After the partiality, Weber was angry, and then Nelson was fired after a year...

By 1995, the Warriors held the No. [-] pick, but skipped Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace and took Joe Smith.

The confusion of this choice is similar to that of the Clippers taking Olowokandi in 1998.

In the golden year of the 1996 draft, the Warriors with the 11th pick did not choose Kobe or Nash, but took a man named Todd Fowler.

In 1998, they missed Nowitzki again because Nelson was already working for the Mavericks.

If they traded Webber for Nelson and then insisted on keeping Nelson, Nowitzki would come to Golden State.

Instead of choosing the ticket-selling artifact Carter, he sent Carter away in exchange for Jamison, and then Jamison couldn't keep it and went to the Wizards.

In 2003, what happened to Webber happened again. Before that, the imperfect rules of the first-round contract caused Weber to jump out of the contract and go to the Wizards. This time, it was the imperfect rules of the second-round contract that caused Arenas to go to the Wizards. .)
This has led to the fact that the Warriors have never built a stable core lineup for 15 years.

Great talents come and go, come and go, come and go, and finally go to the Wizards.

What the Warriors have experienced in the draft and trade over the years is really the same as the Clippers.

The hearer is sad, the hearer weeps.

Larry Riley also told Min Congda that the Warriors' coaches also change frequently.

From 1994 to 2004, in 10 years, the team changed 7 coaches.

On average, coaches are changed every 1.5 seasons, leaving the team's system in tatters.

"Every time the team wants to establish a style or culture, Cohan makes the team change. He is very anxious, always wants to lead the team to rise overnight, and has no patience. This season is not good. , next season will soon make major changes, either changing the coach or sending away the core players.”

Larry Riley just became the general manager of the Warriors last season, and he was an assistant coach in the Warriors before.

In the early years, he worked in the Bucks, Mavericks and other teams. Although he was not an employee of the Warriors, he was very clear about the Warriors' operations.

The NBA circle is so big, everyone jumps around in different teams, and everyone knows what is going wrong.

After staying in the Warriors for four years, Riley has witnessed the last glory of the Warriors, black eight, and then Cohan quickly became impatient again.

Continue to dismantle the team and rebuild, but this time the team can't stand the toss, his financial situation can't stand the toss, and finally he has to toss himself and has to sell the team.

Riley briefly talked about what he knew, and said: "How about it, do you have any inspiration for you Smart? I think you have done a good job. You see that the Clippers' lineup is very stable. You still use the No. [-] pick to win Take Curry. You know what, when you took Curry last year, Don was going crazy in the draft office."

The Don Riley was talking about was of course Don Nelson. It was the first time Min Congda knew about it, and asked curiously, "You want to take Curry?"

Riley nodded and said: "Yes, he is a very special player. Nelson told me that if there is a chance, he must choose Curry. In fact, we were very sure at the time, because you will definitely take Griffin, and the Timberwolves are Wouldn't pick Curry. I didn't expect it... Now Curry's performance has proved that he is very good."

The scar in Min Congda's heart was uncovered again. It was a mistake to choose Curry in the opening game!

Now he wants to make up for this mistake and trade Curry, but the system doesn't allow it.

A good No. [-] pick, ranked second in the best rookie, you want to trade?

This is not 1993 or 1994, when the Warriors could sign Webber to a 15-year contract.

Then the second year is the player option, Webber can jump out of the contract and go to the team he wants to go to.

The Warriors sent Webber, who was acquired only by Hardaway, in the draft, and the bamboo basket was empty in the end.

Only got the right to use it for one year.

Now that the contract and transaction rules are complete, it is impossible for Curry to jump out of the contract.

The transaction was unreasonable and the system didn't allow it. Min Congda's choice was to let Curry play around.

At present, it seems that there are also doubts. Is Curry's upper limit really that much?

The good news is that, as Fan Chen said, Curry's body does have some glass.

Injury problems have plagued the No. [-] pick since his second season.

Riley asked Min Congda, "How did you reverse the decline of the Clippers? It's amazing that you were able to make a profit last season."

Min Congda smiled awkwardly, you are hurting me, I don't even want to make a profit.

He coughed and said, "I think the Clippers are lucky to be able to make a profit. We are in the metropolis of Los Angeles, with the aura of the Lakers shining. We just got a little bit of light."

Riley shook his head and said: "You are not authentic. I shared my failure experience with you, but you are perfunctory when it comes to your success experience?"

Min Congda thought, I didn't play you off, I was just lucky.

Good luck for the Clippers, bad luck for me.

If I'm lucky, the Clippers are losing money by now.

Maybe they will go bankrupt and sell the team too!
