这是一篇SACTOWN的文章， 另一个面相谈高层这季的动作， 和大家分享。 http://0rz.tw/Tt4KX How the Kings may be earning a player-friendly reputation (and how it helps) 国王如何建立友善企业的形象 The Kings are struggling to make strides in the win column, but the organization may be building a reputation that could provide some help in that category in the future. Former King Greivis Vasquez recently hinted in an interview with Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee that he would be open to resigning with the Kings when he becomes a free agent. Why? Because of how Vivek Ranadive and company run the show. Here is Vasquez in the Bee: "I really like Coach Malone. I have a great relationship with him and the coaching staff," Vasquez said. "(Principal owner) Vivek (Ranadive), they treated me like a first-class franchise. I have no complaints; it's just part of the business. If they consider me and I'm a restricted free agent, anything can happen." This coming from a guy who was the new ownership group's first major trade acquisition last summer and was swiftly exchanged in the Rudy Gay deal just months later. 球队目前战绩二二六六，但高层可能在试图建立一个口碑，以帮助球队未来的路。 前国王球员Vaz接受蜂报记者访谈时，暗示他不排除进入自由市场後重回国王的可能。 而这都源自老板Vivek和高层的动作。 Vaz:我很喜欢MM，我和他及教练团的互动很好。 Vivek他们对我像在对待球队最重要的人， 我对他们没有怨言，这只是生意的一部份， 如果我还是受限自由球员的话，情况或许就不同了。 Comments like this about the Kings being a player-friendly organization are becoming more frequent around the league and there are many examples as to why. Jimmer Fredette, for instance, wasn't going to get a lot of playing time on the Kings after the trade deadline came and went and the organization decided it was time to see what it really has in Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum. Fredette, obviously, was not in the future plans of the Kings so they bought out his contract, which allowed him to sign with the Chicago Bulls. Moves like this have received recognition around the league. Alex Kennedy's twitter: "Buying out Jimmer Fredette instead of keeping him until summer is something agents appreciate and it shows front office is player-friendly." Here is Fredette via James Ham: "Vivek [Ranadive] and Pete [D'Alessandro] and everybody that was involved -- Mark Mastrov and the guys in the front office -- they were all true to their word. They said they wanted to do what was best for me and for my career and they were able to do that. Because of that, I really appreciate them and them all as human beings and as owners and front office people of the team." (Unfortunately for Fredette, he is still waiting for his chance at extended minutes in Chicago.) 关於国王是友善企业的评论最近在联盟中经常出现， 而这里有一些例子能告诉你原因。 交易截止日之後，球队决定专心培养BEN & RAY， 寂寞明显不在球队未来的蓝图中， 高层也很乾脆地买断寂寞的合约，让他能和公牛签约。 这项举动也获得了好评。 Alex Kenney的推特： 「买断寂寞而没有强留他到夏天的举动，让很多经纪人欣赏， 同时也显示高层对球员很友善。」 寂寞接受James Ham访问时表示： 「Vivek和PDA和其他球队高层很守信用， 他们说会对我的职业生涯做出最好的决定， 他们也这麽做了，因此我很感激他们， 欣赏他们的为人以及身为球队老板及高层的方式。」 (不幸的是寂寞仍在公牛等待上场机会。) Another example of the opportunity the Kings have provided players was the chance they have given Royce White. The forward has had his fair share of issues since joining the NBA, including his battle with an anxiety disorder and his inability to work things out in Houston with the Rockets. The Kings, of course, signed him to a 10-day contract, giving him a second chance to prove himself in Reno with the Bighorns. Royce White's twitter: "Thank you @SacramentoKings for this opportunity, but even more so the kind of ppl you are. Thank you to the many still supporting. #BeWell" Here is White via Sean Cunningham of News 10: "Pete's [D'Alessandro] one of the best guys I've met in this league and the owner [Vivek Ranadive] is a very progressive, open-minded guy," White said. He then proceeded to say the following, which is likely a pretty accurate summary of how much all of this will truly impact things in the long run. "It all just happenstance, we didn't do a lot of homework like we like these guys over these guys," White said. A lot of players say the "right" things when they need to. A lot of teams give players opportunities and second chances if it isn't going to cost too much. A lot of teams buy out contracts of players who will only serve as dead weight. So in reality, maybe all of this truly doesn't help a TON, but it is worth pointing out that there has been a steady flow of reminders about this Kings front office this season, which is surprising given the revolving door of players we have seen. 另一个例子是球队给了Royce White机会， 这名前锋因为恐慌症且因此无法为火箭打球而声名大噪， 国王给了她一分十天短约， 并派他到NBDL的大角羊证明自己的能力。 White的推特: 「感谢沙加缅度国王给的机会， 你们是非常好的人，感谢你们的支持。」 White接受访问时说： 「PDA是我在联盟中见过最棒的人之一， Vivek是个非常的有前瞻性，心胸宽大的人。」 接着他又说了下面这段话， 而这段话显示了高层的这些作为从长远来看对球队的助益。 「一切都很偶然，我们不需要去特意讨好某些人。」 很多球员说「对」的话是因为他们需要这样说， 很多球队给球员第二次机会是因为代价低微， 很多球队买断球员像是甩掉无用的体重， 现实来讲，也许这些作为都没办法转化成立即的助力， 但有一股声浪正在联盟中发酵，国王高层乐於给球员机会。 And it appears to tie in with a team philosophy. General manager Pete D'Alessandro pointed this out in an interview with USA Today's Sam Amick back in November after the Kings gave Derrick Williams a second chance. "I've said this before, (new Kings owner) Vivek Ranadive is a person who is about opportunity, right? He gave a first-time coach in Michael Malone an opportunity, and a first-time GM an opportunity. We're an opportunity organization, and we see this as an opportunity for him to have a fresh start as well. And I feel like it's such a positive organization as a result of ownership and where it comes from. It's such a positive-minded place that if there's a place for people to achieve, I think this is fertile ground for that." Again, just because players, including Rudy Gay, have gotten a second chance in Sacramento doesn't mean that there is going to be an influx of big-name free agents flocking here in the future, but it can't hurt. Combine that with Ranadive's "NBA 3.0" vision and a new arena on its way in downtown Sacramento and maybe, just maybe, if it's all put together it could help a future free agent check a "yes" box in a "Should I sign in Sacramento?" pros and cons list. And that goes for Gay as well. Here is what he told Sactown Royalty last month: "The organization is great. They've been nothing but great to me since I've been here," Gay said. "They work hard to keep guys happy." Based on how this season is going, it's obvious there are a lot of things that need to take place before the Kings return to prominence. As the season gets closer to its finale, however, there are some positives to point to, and the reputation the Kings are earning as a player-friendly organization is definitely one. 这一切都与球队的哲学有关。 PDA十一月就D-Will的交易接受访问时说： 「我之前就说过，Vivek是一个乐於给予机会的人，对吧？ 他给了菜鸟教头MM机会，给了菜鸟GM机会， 我们是个机会组织，而我们也看到D-Will重新开始的机会， 我觉得由於老板的影响让我们成为一个积极的团队， 这是个乐观进取的地方，如果人们想追求甚麽，这里就是丰肴之地。」 再一次声明，并不会因为球员(包括GAY)在这获得第二次机会， 就有明星级的自由球员愿意加入我们，不过给球员第二次机会并不会造成伤害。 综合Vivek NBA3.0的愿景和新场馆的兴建，或许，只是或许， 可以帮助我们将来在自由球员市场捕鱼，一切就由Gay开始吧。 Gay上个月跟Sactwon说： 「球团很棒，他们一直对我很好，他们很努力地让球员快乐。」 基於球队目前的战绩，球队再重回强权之琳前仍有许多要改善， 随着球季接近尾声，球队有一些积极面值得被提出， 友善企业就是其一。 个人意见 另外附上小白在大角羊的highlight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oREUhVRiQZk 或许真的会中乐透也说不定。 --
