Silas looked at the sweat stained on the suit, and felt dumbfounded. He had miscalculated, and he would have brought two extra clothes...
But he smiled immediately, and he no longer had any doubts before the game.
Silas is very satisfied with the performance of the team. Larry is such a good general manager who has found so many good players for him.
Although Wesley Matthews, Anthony Tolliver and Reggie Williams have various flaws, in Silas' view, they at least have the strength of NBA bench players, and it is overkill for them to play in the summer league .
And all three are very rare player types in the league, very suitable for the Warriors' tactics.
A 3D player with a qualified size like Matthews has been highly sought after in the league in recent years, and he is only 21 years old and has potential for development. It is hard for Silas to believe that such a player with tough defense and three-point accuracy will lose the selection .
Anthony Toliver is a space-oriented power forward rarely seen in the NBA. He knows nothing but can shoot three-pointers.
But even with this three-pointer, he shoots accurately and quickly, can play as a surprise player at a certain moment, and can also contribute firepower to the bench lineup during regular time.
And Reggie Williams's performance is the most eye-catching among the three. He has a comprehensive scoring method, can break through and shoot, has a particularly strong impact, a brave style of play, and a very desperate defense.
Although he is all-round in the summer league, he is good at everything and not good at anything in the NBA, but he definitely has the strength to become an important member of the Warriors' bench in the new season.
In addition to these three, Watson and Lowry were the backup point guards of the NBA team last year, and their playing time was stable. Their outstanding performance was expected by Silas.
But Butler's tenacity on the defensive end has been a bonus.
Sierra knew that Butler was teammates with Curry during college and played under the boss. After he was selected by the Warriors, he signed a 4-year, 500 million fully guaranteed contract with the team. The contracts signed are much better.
He thought it was a relationship, but Butler's defense surprised him. Although he is still a little immature, as long as Butler is given enough time to accumulate experience, he will be the Warriors' defensive champion.
In addition, Silas is also very satisfied with Butler's team spirit on the offensive end.
He has the range of the NBA's three-point line, has a high efficiency in open spot shooting, actively transfers the ball, and is not greedy for merit at all. It seems that he does not score high, but he plays a role of lubricant to make the Warriors' offense more efficient.
If Butler can only make three-pointers and defend, he is a blue-collar at most, but he can handle the ball while doing a good three-pointer and defense, which is very rare.
Silas listed Butler as a key observation object. This is a very good team player, and he is only 20 years old. There is still a lot of potential in him that has not been discovered, which is worthy of the Warriors.
Seeing a few young people talking and laughing happily, Silas's face was full of smiles.
Larry is such a good brother, I will buy you a drink when I go back!
...
"The number 30 jersey is sold out again? It's only been three days! Well, I'm going to urge them to supply... what? Someone wants to buy a coach jersey? Tell them, the coach doesn't have a jersey!"
Larry Riley in Oakland didn't know what was going on in Las Vegas.
He has a lot of business work to follow up, and not long after Zhang Yu took over the team, the personnel aspect has to be reorganized. He is too busy to touch the ground and has no time to pay attention to the summer league.
The management structure of each NBA team is different, but generally the same, divided into basketball operations department and administrative management department.
The basketball operation department is responsible for the affairs related to the team and basketball. It is generally led by the general manager and the president of basketball operations, but the specific situation of each team is different.
The Warriors only set up the position of general manager, while the Knicks' basketball affairs are under the control of the president of basketball operations. Some teams have both general managers and presidents of basketball operations, as is the case with the Raptors.
The administrative management department is responsible for all matters not directly related to basketball, such as publicity, arenas, business cooperation, etc., and is led by the president or the team CEO. They get closer to the owner and control the development direction of the team.
Originally, Larry Riley was only in charge of the Warriors' basketball affairs, but the president of the team's administrative management department was Chris Cohan, who voluntarily resigned after the Warriors changed hands.
Zhang Yu didn't have any trustworthy manpower for a while, so he handed over this part of the work to Larry Riley for a short time.
In the past, this was a relatively leisurely job. The Warriors' record has not improved, and there are no talented balloon stars in the team, and business development is tepid.
But after Zhang Yu entered the home team, he first selected Curry, and Curry was famous all over the United States during his college years, and had a very high popularity in the country. In just one month, Curry's No. 30 jersey was in the Bay Area The fan store was sold out many times, and Larry Riley could only contact the league to replenish it many times.
Fortunately, the league is responsible for the fan stores in other places, otherwise he would have to be busy.
What makes Larry Riley smile bitterly is that San Francisco is a city with a large number of Chinese, and many Chinese fans want to buy the coach's peripheral products...
In addition, many Chinese companies have contacted Larry Riley, wanting to discuss the advertising cooperation of the Oracle Center.
These companies have tasted the sweetness in the cooperation with the Rockets. Now the Warriors seem to have the momentum to become the second home team of Chinese fans, and they are naturally unwilling to lag behind.
In this case, Larry Riley even forgot that the Warriors are going to play the summer league opener today.
"Ding..."
He just put down the phone when the ringtone rang again.
Larry Riley sighed softly, stared at the computer screen without blinking, picked up the phone and put it to his ear:
"Hi, I'm Larry Riley, what can I do?"
"Larry, it's me, didn't you check the caller ID?"
A familiar voice sounded in Larry Riley's ears. He glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and the name displayed on it was Stephen Sellars.
"Stephen, what's the matter? I was too busy just now, so I didn't pay attention."
"Larry, where did you find these players for me?" Silas said in a slightly weird tone.
Larry Riley thumped in his heart, screaming inwardly that it was not good.
He remembered, today is the opening game of the summer league, and the Warriors have a game!
Judging from Silas's tone, it seems that he was defeated by his opponent so badly that he came to Xingshi to question his guilt.
He turned his mind sharply, and said in a sad tone:
"Listen to my explanation... I also know that these players make you dissatisfied, and I also sympathize with you. If you want to play with such a group of players, bear with it..."
