Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 744 - 265: When the Clamor Fades, Grasp the Present and Future_2

As the GOAT of the current era, if Qin Yue didn't have complete confidence in taming Green, how could he have advised the team to choose Green?

In fact, there's a very noticeable trait in Green's personality.

That is, when it comes to major issues, Green always has very clear insight.

For instance, in the future, off the court, you'll find that Green is a loyal supporter of James.

But on the court, if he needs to strike hard at James, he will do just that.

Besides advising the Warriors to pick Green in the first round, Qin Yue didn't let go of the Warriors' 30th pick in the second round this year.

Because in this year's draft, there's another hidden gem worth the Warriors' choice.

In the NBA, many players come with franchise cornerstone attributes.

And as universally acknowledged as a cornerstone of team building...

Robert Sacre is undoubtedly outstanding among them.

This is a young player who continuously inspires his teammates with positive energy off the court.

In Qin Yue's previous life, almost everyone who worked with Sacre, teammates or coaches, would vividly remember Sacre's full dedication in training and serving as a water boy.

Especially his remarkable stat in the NBA of waving towels 100 times per game, cheering for teammates 80 times, and handing water cups 50 times, which has become one of the NBA records most recognized as hard to break in later generations.

If you don't understand, just ask, how can someone not love such a Sacre?

Of course, even if the Warriors had set their targets early for the draft, Riley still had to guard against any possible last-minute steals from other teams.

As Green was projected to be picked around the end of the first round or the beginning of the second round before the draft began, Riley, to be on the safe side, had Mulin contact his old friend Bird.

Although nowadays in the NBA, every team is extremely cautious when trading with the Warriors.

But considering the Pacers' first-round pick was only two spots ahead of the Warriors this year, Bird agreed to a swap of their first-round picks with the Warriors almost without hesitation after learning the Warriors were willing to pay some cash within the permissible limits.

Thus, the Warriors' preparations before the draft began were successfully completed.

On June 25th, the Warriors Dynasty parade, which cost millions of US Dollars, officially took place in the Bay Area.

Wherever the championship float of the Warriors went during the dynasty parade, it was wholeheartedly welcomed by the Bay Area people.

And this vibrant scene also brought tears of excitement to many players on the Warriors team.

"Being able to serve this team is undoubtedly the luckiest thing in my life."

The veteran Hill, who is about to retire, said: "People always say Oakland is the promised land of the basketball world in recent years, but isn't it also my personal promised land?"

In response, Bell, who felt the same, said: "Grant, now you and I are dynasty players, tonight we must have a good drink."

A drink? More than just one!

On the championship float, Big Ben, who had been hammered several days in a row, regretted that his aging body couldn't last another three to five seasons.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that on the day of the dynasty parade, Curry, who was once the least favored by Warriors fans, had now become the second most popular player on the team, next to Qin Yue.

However, Curry, who already had three championships in hand, was deeply troubled.

Because this summer, just like in Qin Yue's memory, the person from Nike in charge of negotiating Curry's contract renewal was none other than the famous Nick Harrison.

Curry never expected that today, he couldn't even secure a four-year, 40 million US Dollar renewal contract in front of Harrison.

Not joking, given Curry's current commercial value, the renewal amount his team asked from Nike wasn't excessive.

Considering that as Qin Yue's deputy, Curry's popularity in China has been increasing rapidly in the past two years.

Therefore, whether for the purpose of tapping into the Chinese market or the star effect Curry had gradually formed locally in the Bay Area, this was a reasonable renewal offer.

But being the embodiment of the term "brain dead," Harrison's thought process is notoriously different from ordinary people. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

After all, the outrageous things Harrison did after becoming the Mavericks' general manager are not in short supply!

From Jack Brunson to Porzingis, to personally shipping Luka Doncic to Los Angeles.

If...

Among these, because of Porzingis' "fragile physique," you might find an angle to excuse Harrison.

Then from not renewing Curry in the summer of 2012, from Nike to the Mavericks, almost all of Harrison's decisions were wrong.

And the most incredible thing is, this guy always spoke with confidence whenever he made a wrong decision.

For example, when he wasn't renewing Curry, Harrison said: "Players like Stephen Curry are a dime a dozen in the NBA, why should we waste money and promotional resources on him?"

For Brunson, Harrison said: "Jack Brunson isn't worth that much money; he's just an ordinary role player."

For realizing Doncic's immense influence locally in Dallas, Harrison defended himself by saying: "I didn't expect Luca to be that important to the fans."
