Should Rick Carlisle earn top dollar? 卡帅值得拿顶薪吗？ http://tinyurl.com/7377my7 Contract disputes are about money. The person seeking the contract always wants more than the person handing out the contract wants to give. COSTLY COACHES Here's Forbes' list of the top 10 highest-paid coaches in 2011-12: Coach (Team) Salary Doc Rivers (Celtics) $7M Mike D'Antoni (Knicks-resigned) $6M Gregg Popovich (Spurs) $6M Nate McMillan (Blazers - fired) $5.5M Rick Adelman (Timberwolves) $5M Flip Saunders (Wizards-fired) $4.8M Rick Carlisle (Mavericks) $4.5M Mike Brown (Lakers) $4.5M Stan Van Gundy (Magic) $4.5M Scott Skiles (Bucks) $4.5M Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and coach RickCarlisle might not yet describe this lingering contract situation as a dispute,but the bottom line is that Carlisle has yet to ink a new deal. Neither side is talking about it, so it can only be assumed that money is a central issue. Carlisle earned $4.5 million in the fourth and final year of his contract this past season. That ranked him seventh at the start of the season, according to Forbes, among the league's highest-paid coaches. Three of the top six on the list didn't make it out of the season. Mike D'Antonio ($6 million, tied with San Antonio's Gregg Popovich for second) resigned from the New York Knicks, Nate McMillan ($5.5 million, fourth) was fired by the Portland Trail Blazers and Flip Saunders ($4.8 million, sixth) was fired by the Washington Wizards. 卡帅最後一年拿4.5M，排名教练中第七位。排行榜上有三位教练没有执教完本季 According to Forbes, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers is the highest-paid coach in the NBA, earning $7 million this season. He's in his 13th season as a head coach and eighth with the Celtics, who hold a 1-0 lead on the Philadelphia 76ers in the East semifinals. Rivers and the Celtics won the 2008 championship and returned to the Finals in 2010, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games. Rivers的7M是NBA中最高 Is Carlisle looking for Rivers-type money? Or perhaps the $6 million that Popovich, a four-time championship coach, is pocketing this season? The NBA's Coach of the Year has the Spurs in the West semifinals on the heels of a first-round sweep. 卡帅会期望有Rivers的价码吗？ 或是波波的价码？ In Carlisle's third season in Dallas, he molded a group of title-less veterans into unexpected champions, providing Cuban and the franchise with its first title. While the Miami Heat, the team the Mavs dispatched in the NBA Finals in six games, rewarded coach Erik Spoelstra with an extension in December prior to the start of the season, Carlisle's reward never came. 去年卡帅带领小牛拿下总冠军 当热火(去年总冠军赛的对手)替他们的教练Spoelstra 延长合约时 卡帅却没得到这种待遇 Cuban dismantled the title team and the season was a struggle from start to finish. Dallas ended it 36-30 in the regular season and then was swept out of the first round by the Oklahoma City Thunder under coach Scott Brooks, who is also coming to the end of his contract and will command a bigger payday. 而今年小牛被横扫了 Cuban claims it's simply not his business style to grant extensions (the 2006 extension he gave Avery Johnson backfired). But now that the season is over and still no deal exists, it figures that either the two sides are negotiating a workable salary or that Carlisle, who would be a hot commodity as a free agent, is keeping his options open. Cuban表示延长合约不是他的行事方格。但现在球季结束了，却仍然没有签约的消息。 这表示双方正在协调一个都可以接受的价码。 After all, the Mavs' future, in terms of its roster as Dirk Nowitzki turns 34 in June, is as unsettled as ever in Cuban's dozen years as owner. --- 好教练不多阿～ --
