Qin Yue holding the O'Brien trophy and the FMVP trophy as he returned triumphantly has become the grandest and most lively scene in Oakland in recent decades.

In competitive sports, athletes who consistently fulfill fans' expectations are often idolized by local supporters and their own fans. As the Messiah in the hearts of Warriors supporters, Qin Yue naturally is no exception.

In the Bay Area, Qin Yue has already started to acquire a divine status—he is to the Warriors what Jordan was to the Bulls. For example, before he joined the team, the Warriors' market value, stagnant for years, is now one of the most valuable NBA teams, ranked third with 450 million US Dollars, behind only the Knicks and Lakers.

Historically, Joe Lacob in Qin Yue's memory completed the acquisition of the Warriors for 450 million US Dollars around 2009.

But now, it is the premium 2006.

Normally, to acquire profitable assets like the Warriors requires extra money.

Therefore, although Warriors owner Chris Cohan still dislikes the players' usual attitude towards him, he gradually understands why the NBA has developed a culture where superstar players can stand above the team.

As long as they bring the team continuous wealth and victory, even the team owner must show deference to the star player.

This is the kind of power Kylian Mbappe dreams of in the future football world, but in the NBA... since the Jordan era, this culture has become the unwritten rule of the league.

In a certain sense, Michael Jordan indeed changed the fundamental logic of the NBA and the operating rules of the basketball world. Therefore... even if Qin Yue has already shown the potential to become a "little rascal," he still respects Jordan, the "old rascal."

After all, without Jordan's pioneering efforts back then, how could future NBA players gradually escape from being treated like workhorses and even negotiate at the table, manipulating teams from behind the scenes?

"Our championship parade is planned for the 25th, and we have a second-round draft pick this year. Do you have any players in mind?"

Soon after returning to Oakland with the Warriors, Lan Jiu Gui Mulin found Qin Yue alone.

Upon hearing this, knowing the Warriors had lost both their 06 and 08 first-round draft picks to trade for Artest, Qin Yue smiled and said: "You can choose whoever you like, I trust you."

2006 is famously a weak draft year.

Qin Yue's knowledge of rookies this year is limited to only a few individuals.

Furthermore, the Warriors' second-round pick, 56th place, is destined to make it difficult for them to find real talent.

Currently, the championship core of the Warriors is mostly in their prime—especially after renewing contracts with Deng Liwei and Richardson, their operational space for the new season will be getting increasingly small. Therefore, the Warriors will likely experience an extremely calm summer while maintaining the championship squad.

Plus, having built supreme authority within the Warriors after spending a year with them, Qin Yue always enjoys pleasant cooperation with teammates, so he has no reason to break up and reorganize the defending champions.

"Next, I'll strive to bring two pieces for the championship puzzle from the free-agent market back to us."

Qin Yue vaguely remembers that Chris Mulin will sign Matt Barnes to the Warriors this summer as he recalls.

He is a tough player with a lanky build who can defend multiple positions on the court.

Most importantly, in this deceitful league, Barnes is renowned for his loyalty and integrity.

Throughout his career, Barnes, known for his tough guy image, primarily uses his fists for teammates.

If you are his opponent, Barnes will make you feel extremely annoyed.

But if you are his teammate...basically, Qin Yue has never seen any Barnes teammate badmouth him.

"Is Matt Barnes on your free agent list?"

However, just to be safe, Qin Yue deliberately asked Mulin.

Upon hearing this, Mulin smiled and said: "He will be my top target. I love his style, and I think his temperament fits our 'gangster' culture. Why, do you have any opinions about him?"

Qin Yue shook his head and said: "No, I also really admire him."

"This is truly a case of great minds thinking alike. Don't worry, when I sign Matt, I will definitely tell him that our Messiah admires him."

Although historically, Mulin will leave the Warriors before their rise due to conflicts with the sale of the team by Cohan and disagreements with colleagues, during his years handling the Warriors, his vision is indeed commendable.

Whether it's moving decisively in the free-agent market or utilizing his relationship with Bird to bring in strong soldiers from the Pacers, it has reignited the joy of playoff experiences for Warriors fans on the eve of their rise.

In this life, with this major-domo's assistance, it allows Qin Yue to completely relax his mind and wholeheartedly enjoy indulgent life before the upcoming championship parade.

Of course, although the Warrior's framework is largely unchanging, they must solve the issue of selecting a head coach for the new season.

After the championship parade, Montgomery will formally bid farewell to the Warriors.

The Warriors need to choose a suitable head coach for their young battleship.

Originally, Mulin's most favored choice was his former mentor Old Nelson.

But now, Old Nelson is no longer the best candidate.
