Before the championship of this season is officially decided, the teams that have been eliminated have begun to prepare for the next season. The Hornets and Suns are the first two teams to bear the brunt. They respectively identified Charles Lee and Budenholzer as the new coaches of the team. After the Lakers fired Darwinham and emptied all the members of the teaching assistant team, the choice of their new coach is also the focus of the fans. However, from the perspective of expenditure and team performance, it seems that the most deserving person to be fired is Braves coach Stephen Cole. After all, Braves' expenditure is the highest in the league, but they have not even scored in the playoffs. 35 million, re signed the Warriors. Kuri has made you a success, and you are ready to retire after success.
In fact, as for the coach Cole, Warrior fans have scolded Cole for many years. From persisting in using veteran, arranging the formation and sticking to the small lineup, not using big men, plus the stubborn strategy, to be honest, Cole's voice of leaving class has never quieted down. Unfortunately, contrary to their wishes, the Warriors did not let Cole leave school. Instead, they signed a two-year $35 million contract with Cole that would make him the highest paid coach in NBA history in a single season. This signing is undoubtedly an operation that will cause fierce debate among the Warriors fans. Some people think that the Warriors will be finished next, and they will lose the championship. Others think that Cole deserves such a contract. However, Cole himself has a rough definition of future planning.
In an interview, Cole said that he believed that every sports job had a warranty period. If he felt that he should leave, he would leave. But now he has no such feeling, because he believes that players like Curry, Green and Clay still have enough firepower to fight. Cole believes that they can continue to fight side by side and exert influence. At the same time, Cole also believes that the Warriors have a group of young people with good ability to help the team. However, Cole also gave himself a way out. He said, "Maybe when my contract expires two years later, it will be the time for me to leave. This is also the time for the Warriors to find new blood and new ideas."
This is the first time that Cole has personally mentioned the topic of leaving the Warriors. From the perspective of a coach, unlike players, a coach has a long coaching career. In particular, Cole is still very young compared with other competitors. After all, he has taken over the Warriors for 14 years, and he has made full use of his money. He has only coached the Warriors for 10 years as a coach, At the same time, he has never coached any other NBA team. In this way, as the NBA coach, Cole has been in charge for a very short time. However, he has seen the future of leaving Warriors, and even the possibility of ending his coaching career.
One thing I can feel from Cole's statement is that it seems that Cole's idea is to leave with Curry. Once the latter retires, or if Curry's ability declines to a certain stage, maybe Cole will leave early. Two seasons later, Cole's contract expired and Curry was 38 years old. Despite Curry's current physical condition and scientific progress, I believe that Curry can also try to play until he is 40 years old. But after all, LeBron James has only one, and I believe it does not need to elaborate too much on the level of the latter's physical talent. At that time, Curry may still fight, but perhaps his state is similar to that of a retired tour. Obviously, Cole is ready to carry the bucket and run away in advance.
I have to say that Cole's abacus is really smart. From his point of view, he should also be very clear in his heart what made him one of the top 15 marshals in history. Of course, after taking over the Warriors from Mark Jackson, Cole really brought this playoff team to the level of championship. But then again, after the last three championships, two of the warriors had Durant. The last time they won the championship, everyone saw Curry's performance. He saved the warriors. On the contrary, two of them lost the championship. Cole needs to take responsibility for this. The Warriors failed to win the championship after 73 wins. Cole's adjustment is not timely, so he needs to take responsibility.
Obviously, Cole is ready to leave. He saw the dilemma of the Warrior and the difficulties of the Warrior in the future. It seemed that he did not want to follow his teacher Popovich's example and accompany the Spurs to reorganize the lineup and then experience reconstruction. You should know that Popovich's ability has also been questioned to some extent during the years of reconstruction. What Cole wants may be to retire after success, let his resume stay at this stage, and have a perfect coaching career. I have to admit that Cole has certain ability, but his luck is also crucial for his current achievements.
