OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -Drafting a player who meshes with point guard Stephen Curry is a much bigger priority for Golden State Warriors general manager Larry Riley than finding one who can excel in coach Don Nelson’s system.
It’s very clear that the Warriors are building around their budding young point guard instead of their aging record-holding coach as he enters his final season.
Nelson broke Lenny Wilkens’ all-time wins record late last season and is in the final year of his contract. With the team up for sale, it’s not even assured that he will coach next season if a new owner is in place in time to pick his own man on the bench.
