Larry Riley thinks Min Congda is a mockery, but in fact, Min Congda is really humble and asks for advice.

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

If he can help, what else can I do, and I will be done with the team entrusted to him?

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

Riley sighed and said, "You're right, the experience of failure is also experience, so I'll talk about it briefly." ”

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

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 part of many industries, so professional managers are generally hired to take care of them.

Some teams have many owners, they are a big consortium, there is no absolute boss, and this kind of team will also be taken care of by professional managers.

There are also teams where the owner is dominant, and they revolve around the team all day long without anything else, and they have to mix everything up.

Like the previous Sterling, as well as the Warriors' Cohan, the Mavericks' Cuban (Cuban is mainly because of love), etc., are all typical examples of the boss who likes to blindly participate.

Riley counts what Cohan has done with the Warriors for more than a decade, and business operations aside, it is difficult to write about team building.

In the 1994 season, Webber jumped out of the contract as the best rookie, which naturally had Weber's problems, but it was also related to the boss's bias towards Nelson in the conflict between Webb and Nelson.

That's why Weber put a 15-year 74 million contract and jumped out of the contract to go to the Wizards to join forces with Juwan Howard.

But if you are biased towards Nelson, you will be biased, and after partiality, Webb will be angry, and then a year later, Nelson will be fired again......

By 1995, the Warriors had the No. 1 pick, but they skipped Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace in favor of Joe Smith.

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

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

In 1998, they missed Nowitzki again because Nielsen was already working on the Mavericks by then.

If they give up Webb for the sake of Nelson and then insist on keeping Nelson, Nowitzki will come to the 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, Weber's incident was repeated, before it was the imperfect first-round contract rules that caused Webber to jump out of the contract to go to the Wizards, and this time it was the imperfect second-round contract rules that caused Arenas to go to the Wizards (the Wizards really caught the Warriors). ）

As a result, for 15 years, the Warriors have never built a stable core lineup.

Great people come and go, come and go, and finally all go to the wizards.

What the Warriors have experienced in the draft and trade over the years is really half a pound and half a pound with the Clippers.

Those who hear are sad, and those who listen are weeping.

Larry Riley also told Min Congda that the Warriors' coach turnover is just as frequent.

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

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

"Every time a team wants to build a style or a culture, Kohan makes the team change. He is particularly anxious, always wants to lead the team to rise overnight, and has no patience. If you don't play well this season, you will have to make major changes next season, either to change coaches or to send away key players. ”

Larry Riley became the Warriors' general manager just last season after serving as an assistant coach with the Warriors.

In the early years, he worked in teams such as the Bucks and Mavericks, and although he was not an employee of the Warriors, he was also very clear about the operation of the Warriors.

The NBA circle is so big, everyone is jumping around on different teams, and everyone knows what's going on.

After four years with the Warriors, Riley saw the Warriors' final glory, the Black Eight, and then Cohan quickly ran out of patience.

continued to dismantle the team and rebuild, only this time the team couldn't afford to toss, his financial situation couldn't afford toss, and finally tossed himself and had to sell the team.

Riley briefly recounted what he knew, and said, "Well, is there any inspiration for you, Smart?" I think you're doing a good job, you see the Clippers have a very solid roster, and you also took Curry with the top pick. You know, when you took Curry last year, Don was going crazy in the draft office. ”

Of course, the Don that Riley said was Don Nelson, and Min Congda knew about it for the first time, and said strangely: "You want to take Curry?" ”

Riley nodded and said, "Yes, he's a very special player, and Nelson told me at the time that I must pick Curry if I have the chance." Actually, we had a lot of certainty at the time, because you were going to take Griffin, and the Timberwolves weren't going to pick Curry. I didn't expect it...... Now Curry's performance has proven that he is outstanding. ”

The scar in Min Congda's heart has been uncovered again, and it was really a mistake to select Curry at the beginning!

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

A good rookie and a second best rookie that you want to trade?

It's not 1993 or 1994, when the Warriors could sign Webb to a 15-year contract.

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

The Warriors sent Webb, whom Hardaway only got, in the draft, and the basket was empty.

It's only been a one-year lease on it.

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

The transaction is unreasonable, the system does not allow it, and Min Congda's choice is to let Curry go blindly.

At present, it seems that there is also a question, is Curry's ceiling really that much?

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

Injury issues have plagued the top pick since the second season.

Riley asked Min, "How did you turn the Clippers around, and it was amazing how profitable you were last season." ”

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

He coughed and said, "I think the Clippers can make a profit, or lucky, being in the metropolis of Los Angeles, with the Lakers' halo shining, we just have a little light." ”

Riley shook his head and said, "You're not authentic, I shared the experience of failure with you, and you perfunctory me when it comes to your successful experience?" ”

Min Congda thought, I didn't perfunctory you, I really just luck.

The Clippers were lucky, mine was unlucky.

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

Maybe they will go bankrupt and sell the team!
