Knight Resigns As Hawks' GM
Knight辞去老鹰GM的工作。
The Atlanta Hawks announced today that Executive Vice-President and General
Manager Billy Knight has submitted his resignation, effective July 1st, after
six seasons with the club.
老鹰今天宣布他的行政副总裁兼GM的Billy Knight已经递出了他的辞呈，於7月1日
生效，要结束他在老鹰的六个行政球季。
“The time has come for me to take a break and fully evaluate my future plans,
” said Knight. “I am tremendously pleased with what we were able to
accomplish this season in reaching the postseason, as the Hawks’ return to
the playoffs energized the city and our franchise. My passion for the
franchise has never wavered, but I feel I’m leaving the organization in much
better shape than it was in when I took over. I also appreciate the jobs done
by Mike (Woodson), his staff and the players during this season. They are
most deserving of the praise and accolades they earned during a tough,
seven-game series against the Eastern Conference’s top team entering the
playoffs, and I wish them and the Hawks organization the very best in the
future.”
Knight说：「是时候休息一下，好好规画我的未来了。我很高兴这一季我们可以闯
进季後赛，而老鹰重返季後赛的消息也大大振奋了我们的城市和我们球队。我对球
团的热忱从来没有动摇过，而我觉得我离开的时候，我们阵容比我当初接管的时候
好太多了。我也很感激Mike Woodson、他的团队和球员，这个球季都有很好的表现
。季後赛七场与东区老大的对决，在这种困境之下，他们是最应该得到赞扬的，而
且我希望他们和老鹰整个组织在未来会更棒！」
Knight, 55, was the chief architect behind the rebuilding of the Hawks,
taking over the position of General Manager in April 2003 after spending one
season as Atlanta’s Director of Basketball Operations. In his six years, the
Hawks went from an underachieving franchise with overpaid players to one
whose transformation began with making wise decisions through the draft and
developing that talent, while maintaining financial flexibility to acquire
the best talent mix without handicapping the future of the club.
55岁的Knight，是老鹰重建的主要幕後推手，在2003年4月接管了老鹰GM的位置。
在这六年间，老鹰从一支因为overpaid球员且表现不好的球队翻身，在这期间，他
在选秀做了很多不错的决定，并且培养这些有天分的球员，在同时间也维持球队的
薪资空间与弹性，所以在之後球队不但有很多不错的球员，并且对未来的发展也是
好的。
The Hawks finished 2007-08 with a 37-45 record and extended the Boston
Celtics to seven games in the first round of the playoffs, the franchise
first postseason berth since the 1998-99 (lockout-shortened) season.
老鹰这个赛季以37胜45负做收，另外在季後赛第一轮将塞尔提克逼进了第七战，也
是自1998-99（罢工缩短赛季那一年）球季後，重返季後赛。
“We respect the decision Billy has made to resign and we are grateful and
appreciative of the job he has done,” said Atlanta Hawks co-owner Michael
Gearon. “Billy has built a team of athletic, high character players who have
enormous potential. Under his leadership, the Hawks were not only the
youngest team in this year’s playoffs, but have also proven to be the most
exciting team Atlanta has seen since the Dominique (Wilkins) era of the 80's.
We look forward to building on Billy's success as we continue our efforts to
emerge as one of the NBA's elite franchises for a long time to come.”
老鹰的老板 Michael Gearon说：「我们尊重Billy辞职的决定，而且我们也很感激
他在这个职位上的付出。Billy 把这支球队打造成体能劲爆，和一堆有天分的球员
。在他的领导下，老鹰不只是今年季後赛最年轻的球队，也是证明老鹰自从80年代
的 Dominique Wilkins之後，重登最令人兴奋的球队！在长时间的沈潜之後，我们
期待在Billy的成功之下，我们会继续努力成为NBA强权球队！」
Formerly with the Memphis Grizzlies and Indiana Pacers in various capacities,
Knight has spent nearly 25 years in the NBA as a player or front office
executive.
Knight从球员时代开始在NBA打滚也将近25年了，一直到行政工作，也在灰熊和溜
马担任过许多职位。
