Donnie Walsh Would Consider Isiah Thomas for GM Position
Donnie Walsh 考虑让 Isiah Thomas 回来当GM !!!!!
OK, let's play a game.
First, I want you to think of an incredibly important position for your job.
Someone who's essentially your right-hand man. Someone with power and control.
Got it?
让我们先来玩个小游戏.
首先,想像一下你的工作中,有个对你非常重要的职位,
这个职位的人会是你最优秀的左右手,他能力优秀且能控制一切.
了解?
Now think of the absolute worst candidate possible. I'm not talking "a bad fit
but highly qualified," I'm saying that his or her career history is an outright
disaster zone. His or her resume needs a quarantine from the EPA. Not only has
he or she failed at every turn in your chosen position, but his/her greatest
failure actually occurred while working for the very company you are
considering hiring him/her for.
接下来,想像一个最糟糕最烂的可能人选,
我说的不是一个"优秀,但只是不适合这个位置"的人选,
而是指那个人过去的职业生涯完全是一场可怕的灾难,
应该让环保局把他隔离起来以避免他又跑了回来,
不只是说他会搞砸每一件事情,基本上说起来雇用他本身就是一个最大的错误.
That's pretty much the tree that Donnie Walsh is barking up today.
没错,这就是 Donnie Walsh 现在正要干的事情.
Walsh told Chris Broussard of ESPN Saturday that he'd consider Isiah Thomas for
the general manager position of the Knicks if he elects to hire one. Thomas was
the President of the Knicks from 2003 until 2008. During that time, he managed
the following positive moves:
‧ Drafted David Lee
‧ Did not burn down Madison Square Garden.
Yeah, that's about it.
Walsh告诉ESPN的人,若是他想请一个GM的话,他考虑让Isiah Thomas回来.
Thomas在2003~2008时,担任尼克队的总裁,在这段时间中,他帮尼克做了以下几项
有建设性的措施:
‧选了David Lee.
‧没有把麦迪逊花园广场给烧了.
没错,就是这样.
Thomas managed to acquire nearly every terrible contract in the league, from
nearly every player considered to have significant off-court problems or be
incompatible with others on-court. Who could forget these hits?
‧ Traded for Eddy Curry
‧ Traded for Steve Francis
‧ Traded for Stephon Marbury
‧ Signed Jerome James
‧ Drafted Renaldo Balkman. And, oh, yeah, a sexual harassment civil suit that
cost the Knicks over $11 million and somehow managed to tarnish the Knicks more
so than his basketball-related moves.
他当时几乎签下了联盟所有最糟糕的合约,不是球员在场外有大问题,就是场上的球员
彼此有矛盾,谁能忘记以下这些事情?
‧交易来 Eddy Curry
‧交易来 Steve Francis
‧交易来 Stephon Marbury
‧签下 Jerome James
‧选秀选了 Renaldo Balkman. 喔对了,还有性骚扰案件花了尼克超过$11M
而且把尼克搞的黯淡无光.
How bad was Isiah Thomas in a management role? A month ago, the Utah
Jazz selected Gordon Hayward with the ninth pick in the draft. This constitutes
the last pick Thomas traded away. Nearly two years after Thomas was replaced,
the Knicks were still dealing with his direct effects. This is excluding the
next three years of traded or swapped picks that Walsh was forced to suffer in
order to ditch the remaining horrific contracts (and he still can't find a way
to move Curry). It wasn't just a short-term series of poor decisions, it was an
epic collection of outright disasters.
Isiah Thomas 当一个管理者到底有多糟糕呢? 一个月前爵士以第九顺位选到了
Gordon Hayward, 而那个选秀签就是Thomas送出去的大礼,
看看即使在他被开除了两年後的现在,尼克仍然还垄罩在他的阴影当中,
更别提接下来三年Walsh还得努力的填补他搞的滥约的坑
(他还是没想到该怎麽处理Curr的滥约才好),
这些可不是一些短期的错误决定,这根本是史诗级的灾难豪华组合版
And yet, when the Knicks were courting LeBron James, the most powerful player
in the NBA at this moment, Walsh sent Thomas to speak with James. Now he's
considering giving him a gig once more. Even with Walsh running the show,
having Thomas around is a bad PR move that can garner almost no positive net
effect. Any positive contribution he may make will be attributed to Walsh,
while any blunder he makes will be exaggerated tenfold.
不只如此,之前尼克想要拉拢LBJ的时候,Walsh也是让Thomas去找他谈的.
现在Walsh居然还想再给他一次机会.即使有Walsh在,让Thomas待在身边就已经会搞坏公共
关系,几乎不会任何正面的效果.
到时候任何他做的正面贡献都会被归到Walsh身上,但若是他又捅出了什麽搂子,
却都会被十倍的放大.
But then, it's not like this move can be seen as out of nowhere. Walsh has been a
solid and fairly brilliant executive in this league for decades. But his last
deputy acting as general manager?
但现在看来,这件事情还是有可能发生.
Walsh是联盟中近十年来非常谨慎且杰出的总管,但他的前任副手有像样吗?
David Kahn.
This is a bizarre pattern, like when The Beatles opened up that terrible retail
clothes boutique. Knicks fans have to be wondering how much longer Thomas will
haunt their Garden.
这真的是一个很诡异的情况,大概跟披头四穿着吓人的廉价女装出来表演差不多诡异,
尼克球迷应该会很疑惑到底什麽时候才能脱离Thomas的魔掌.
