“To be honest, I feel on pins and needles at the thought of the summer of 2023. It’s too difficult. Our spending is limited.”
In July this year, warrior boss Lake complained in the podcasting program, admitting that it was very difficult for Warriors to renew Wikins and Poole at the same time. Then, on October 16, Lake cloth took out the cheque. Warrior first reached an agreement with Poole on the renewal of the four-year 0.14 billion-dollar contract, and then signed a four-year 0.109 billion-dollar renewal contract with Wikins.
According to statistics, the total expenditure of warriors in the 2023-24 season is expected to reach 0.483 billion dollars. Although warriors can reduce taxes through transactions and other means, in any case, warriors who have already triggered super tax will keep spending at a high price for a long time.
“Thanks to our boss who is committed to winning and winning the championship,” said Myers, the general manager of warriors.
As Miles said, Warriors can achieve the establishment of a dynasty with four championships in 8 years, and retain the stability of the core lineup to the maximum extent, thanks to the crazy investment of lake behind the scenes. There are many bosses shouting “don’t care about tax”, but few of them can really do this. Lake cloth didn’t want a temporary success. It was his ultimate goal to build a “century warrior” and catch up with the 17th Championship record jointly maintained by the Lakers and Celtics.
On march 20, 2012, lake cloth experienced the most embarrassing scene in life. During the intermission between Warriors and Timberwolves at home, Warriors gathered together to hold a jersey retirement ceremony for Chris Mulin. This was a day full of laughter and laughter, but when lake cloth opened his mouth to speak, the warriors fans gave him unharmonious boos all over the sky, and lake cloth stood still and was at a loss. Even if Rick Barry took the microphone to stop, he still couldn’t stop the Warriors fans from booing.
Lake bu recalled, “I was really hurt at that time, that was 20,000 people! I felt very uncomfortable, and my wife and children were on the side of the court at that time. My wife cried, which was probably the worst thing I had ever experienced in my life.”
No wonder the Warriors fans were angry. Before the First World War with the Timberwolves, the Warriors had only 18 wins and 24 losses. During the intermission, they fell behind the weak Timberwolves by 14 points, they are about to lose the 16th of nearly 18 games. In addition, a week ago, lake bu just sent away monta ellis, who was loved by warriors fans, and he became a thorn in the eyes of warriors fans.
Barry asked the warriors fans to give lake cloth some patience and respect. He believed that lake cloth could lead the warriors to rise, but the warriors fans who had been overwhelmed by anger could not listen to it at all, in their eyes, this Jew is a fool. In May, 2014, Lake bu also did a thing that not only angered Warriors fans, but also made curry quite uncomfortable. He fired coach Mark Jackson, hired Cole with no coaching experience.
You know, Jackson had built Warriors as a playoff team before class was over. They just won 51, which was the third highest record of warriors in Young Pioneer Team history at that time. The san francisco chronicle published a document angry with lake to interfere in the team’s operation. Curry also publicly expressed his shock at this personnel decision.
As for the following things, everyone is familiar with them. Lake cloth confirms the “true incense law” and washes the injustice. Curry evolved into an MVP star because Ellis left the team and Cole took office. Warriors upgraded from playoff team to championship team, achieving the establishment of a dynasty with four championships in 8 years.
When Lake cloth bought the warrior, the warrior was like a clumsy and old elephant. Lake cloth played the role of wild animal trainer. He successfully made the elephant make a gorgeous and elegant turn with superior skills, then, in recent years, it has been a remarkable dance.
What lake cloth has done is in line with its various labels of “schoolmaster”, “jew” and “venture capitalist”. His various decisions seem to be risky, but they are all considered and thoughtful, reasonable adventure after benefit-risk balance “. Before acquiring warriors, Lake Bu had a small stake in Celtics and participated in some major operations as a small boss, such as the Celtics forming three giants, the successful deal made Lake obsessed with big stars.
Therefore, in recent years, Warriors have been associated with the names of big stars many times. They have chased line Winder of the “loafers era” and Dwight Howard at the peak, and introduced Kevin Durant, planned to introduce bill.
Lake Bu said, “Basketball is different from baseball. In NBA, if you don’t have a star, you can’t move any more.” This theory determines that Lake cloth is willing to invest regardless of cost. He once said: “I never care about the tax, and I will not make decisions based on the tax. We want to be better, then our job is to make the team better first, and then consider the issue of money.”
When a person has achieved certain achievements, the satisfaction psychology can never be normal. In the classic American drama Mad Men, Don Draper sells to Dow Chemical Company, but the other side is satisfied with the current market share. Draper said, “What you should want is not the majority, but the whole.”
Lake cloth is this insatiable mentality. In the book victory machine written by famous record Ethan Strauss, lake cloth is described as follows: “lake cloth is eager to monopolize, rather than participating in the competition, he wants to end the competition. He never covered up his ambition. He hoped that warriors would always be the masters of the dynasty. Miles once advised him not to be so extreme with the “fengshui wheel circulation”, but the attitude of lake cloth was that it was other teams. Why can’t warriors be unique? Why can’t Warriors destroy the entire alliance in an unprecedented way?”
In this way, you can understand why Lake Bu is willing to renew Poole and Wikins in advance now. Lake bu will not make the decision to downgrade the team’s strength until the problem of cost is really in front of him, what he hopes is that warriors will continue to be strong and monopolize this competition.
Before the 2022 finals, Lake asked the team’s public relations Raymond Riedel, what was the record of NBA winning the championship. When he learned that the Celtics and the Lakers are now tied for the top of the list with 17 championships, Lake said: “17 championships, this is really a lot. It will take many years to get close to this record.”
When Bu said this in Lake, the Warriors won the championship six times young pioneer team history, and this number changed to seven times after the 2022 finals. They were still 10 times short of chasing the Celts and the Lakers. Lake cloth certainly knows how difficult it is to challenge the record, which requires warriors to maintain strong competitiveness for a long time and to be favored by the lucky goddess. However, the lake cloth did not return tupan in advance because of the high difficulty.
“Jerry Buss holds the Lakers for 33 years, and the Lakers have reached 16 finals, which is incredible,” Lake Bu said. “We have reached 6 finals in 12 years now, the probability of 50% has satisfied me. Can we keep it? I don’t know, but I will definitely try my best.”
“Because, 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, all we do is to make warriors the greatest club.”
