Cole: I can stay with the Warriors because Curry, just like Popovich meets Duncan

The Warriors still have no operations. It is related to the fact that Kumingga's contract has not been finalized, but some people think that Cole really can't train rookies. Recently, Warriors coach Cole was a guest on the "Glue Guys" podcast. In the program, he talked about his relationship with the team's core Curry, and also talked about the topic of cultivating young players.

Kor directly used Popovich and Duncan as an example. He said: "Popovich is my friend and mentor. When I was at the Spurs, I had dinner with them. Popovich always said: Everyone raises the glasses, we cheers to Duncan. Then we raise the glasses together. I really like this atmosphere. So after I came to the Warriors, I also retained this program. I know very well why I can stay with the Warriors. Nothing is because of Curry."

"If I didn't meet Curry at the Warriors, I would definitely be with the team. Like other coaches, they have to leave after working in a place for a few years, and then repeat it like this. "

" I can say bluntly that I was very lucky to meet Curry. He made the work of many people easier, and his ability brought continuity and stability to the team, which also allowed us to stay in the team forever."

In fact, it is not just Cole and Popovich. Any better coaches have the bonus of players. For example, Rivers just took the bonus of the three Celtics, won a championship, and then ate it for a lifetime. Whether in the Clippers or the 76ers, they were criticized by fans, but they still had no worries about work. After being fired, they still achieved success in the Bucks. Isn’t it because of the championship?

and Tyron Lue were also promoted to tens of millions of coaches after the Cavaliers won a championship. That must have taken James' bonus. There was a very popular joke at that time, that was, Tyron Lu had only one tactic - give the ball to James. And he has a lot of fresh tricks. Although he has been an assistant coach for Rivers for a while in the Clippers, he quickly became a regular player and has been doing well in the Clippers.

So, there is nothing to say. Cole eats Curry for the rest of his life, and Popovich eats Duncan for the rest of his life. It can only be said that he is mutually fulfilling and meeting the right people at the right time.

In addition, the reporter also watched the fun and did not let Cole go, and asked directly the question of cultivating rookies, which was obviously an irrelevant to Kumingga.

Cole also said bluntly: "To be honest, I am not good at this model of cultivating new players. It is not what I am good at exploring potential rookies like the Thunder. As an old school, I studied under Phil Jackson and Popovich, so now I have to rely on young assistants to design high-quality training plans and guide young players' decision-making abilities. I have neither practiced these skills back then nor did I know how to teach them."

"Our team's goals are also very clear now. Curry is still at the peak. He is the absolute core of the team, and this is also the team's development plan."

The Warriors have been training rookies in recent years, and they can definitely be called a mess. I won't talk about Wiseman before, and I really don't have enough ability. But so much so hard that there was a Kuminga, and now the two sides are having a big fight. As for Bojie and Moody, they also feel average.

However, Curry's benefits are not long before they can be eaten. Now Curry, Green, Cole, Butler's contracts are only two years left, and the three core members are already 37 years old. In two years, these people may leave the Warriors, and even the boss may sell the team.

It feels that since the disintegration of the "Spring Brothers", the Warriors have begun to decline. The current traffic and popularity are really supported by Curry.
