LAS VEGAS – Nothing could disturb Mike Brown's state of relaxation.

The badistant coach of the Warriors has just returned from France after attending a friend's wedding. Only a month ago, Brown won his second consecutive NBA title with the Warriors. And he spent Monday watching his son, Elijah, play in the defeat of the Warriors' summer league on Dallas.

Nothing could shake Brown, not even the frenetic period of the free NBA agency that included LeBron James joining the Los Angeles Lakers. "I do not really think it does anything for us, it does not matter where it is or anything, everybody gets up and plays us," Brown said. Bay Area News Group. "Everyone is shooting at us, it does not matter if it's the Lakers and LeBron, the Clippers, or whoever it is. I do not know if it's doing anything for us as a team. "

Is it because the Warriors now have five All-Stars after acquiring DeMarcus Cousins?" "Yes," Brown said, laughing.

Brown will soon be working with the four other Warriors All-Stars in Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. While all of these players will be participating in a minicamp here for the US men's national team from July 25 to 27, Brown will be one of Gregg Popovich's badistant coaches.

"If Luke asks me, I'll give him my point of view – he's a fantastic and very intelligent basketball player," said Brown about James. "He knows the game at home. Inside and out on both sides of the field. Luke should feel extremely lucky, blessed and lucky, as anyone who has had a chance to coach LeBron and be able to work with him. There is no magic in it. It's a great guy and you train him as you see fit. He will buy everything you say. Good luck to both of them except when they play us. "

Brown laughed after saying these words, he immediately became serious about the perception that James brings a lot of drama with his obvious talent.

This did not stop James from drawing attention to his current free agency, which has produced countless stories and speculations during each season before these decisions were made.

Nearly two months later, James announced in a notorious ESPN special broadcast that He would "bring his talents to South Beach." After first dodging if the Cavaliers were turning Brown in the hope of appeasing James, Brown examined the investigation for nearly eight years.
