Warriors coach Cole recently gave an interview to Bay Area NBC, talking about his coaching career in the Warriors.
"Maybe it will be two years later when my contract ends. Maybe it's time for me to leave. Or maybe it's time for the Warriors to find new blood and change the direction of the team. At that time, I and the Warriors will understand that it's time."
In April this year, Cole renewed his contract with Warriors for 35 million yuan for two years, which was bound to Curry's contract. In this way, Cole's contract will expire with Curry (the end of the 2025-26 season).
As the core figure of the Warrior Dynasty, Cole seems to have already accepted the fact that the dynasty is lonely, and has already thought about the "future" of a decent breakup, which is really a bit sad.
In fact, the Warriors with big buildings will come to the crossroads of fate in the 2023-24 season. Kutang's iron triangle is tottering. Whether they can continue to chase Kuli to retire next season in the form of a trio is still unknown.
This season's Warriors experienced a turbulent season: the replacement of the general manager, the departure of the players, the uncertainty of the season goals, and the sudden death of the assistant.
Finally, they fell in front of their old enemy, the king, and could not go any further.
In the off-season, Thompson's whereabouts and the Warriors' lineup adjustment have become one of the topics most concerned by the media and fans.
With the Warriors out of the playoffs, Thompson's contract ended and he will become a free player in the summer of 2024.
This season, Thompson's performance has declined greatly. Although he accepted the role of substitute after experiencing troubles in the middle of the season, his performance in the play offs put him back to his original form.
Before the start of the season, the Warriors had offered Thompson a two-year contract extension worth 48 million dollars, but Thompson had a clear attitude and refused directly.
I don't know whether it was the smoke bomb of the Thompson team or the sincerity of the Magic. At the end of the season, Shams, an NBA legend, reported that the Magic and Thompson both intended each other.
This year's offseason, the Magic can create a salary space of up to 60 million dollars. They form a lineup around Bangalore and Wagner, and hope to reinforce a scorer on the flank. Thompson happens to be a suitable candidate.
After all, a veteran winger with championship experience and projection ability is not so easy to find.
Of course, the Warriors did not choose to give up Thompson, and the management has already disclosed its attitude and is willing to negotiate with Thompson on contract renewal. Even Curry once said that he could not imagine losing Green and Thompson.
However, no one knows whether the negotiation will succeed in the end.
If Thompson insists on pursuing a higher annual salary and a more secure contract length, the Warriors will never stop the Iron Triangle from reaching its end if they are sincere.
