Today, Warriors head coach Cole was interviewed and talked about the offseason operation and the final results of the team's management.

Q:   From July to yesterday, management has been busy with these things. How much communication do you communicate with them? Are you feeling assured about their work?

Cole:   I communicate with Mike (Dunleavy) every day, regardless of whether there is any new situation. We contact each day. He would tell me what was going on, and I told him that the 92 days I hated being the general manager were because of this reason, so I prefer being a coach and leaving the contract to the management.

Q:   So how do you view the final result?

Cole:  I understood a truth very early: the value of each of us is exactly the price we can negotiate. This is the truth. So the result is actually very logical. Again, it's mostly Mike's job, but he keeps telling me about the progress.

I am really happy for JK, his salary is equivalent to tripling, which is a lot of money, and he is still young, has a long career path, and has a lot of room for growth. Contract negotiations may be a bit messy, but they will eventually go where they should go.
