http://tinyurl.com/8ygsg9c BHSN Exclusive: Howard reveals who should replace Van Gundy Multiple sources close to Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard told Bright House Sports Network's David Baumann that prior to the season, Howard indicated that he preferred the Magic would have hired Indiana Pacers associate head coach Brian Shaw or Golden State Warriors assistant coach Michael Malone to replace current Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy. 消息指出:Howard曾经提过他想要的教练人选，一个是目前在溜马队的助理教练 Brian Shaw，另一个是勇士队助理教练 Michael Malone。 Magic assistant coach Brendon Malone is the father of Warriors assistant Michael Malone. "No, Michael was never asked," the elder Malone said, when asked recently if his son had any contact with the Orlando Magic about coming aboard this offseason. "But, he's a great young coach and there are a lot of teams that want him." Michael的老爸就是魔术队目前的助理教练Brendon Malone。Malone爸说，他儿子没被魔 术队高层接洽过或是问过这些问题，但是他是一个年轻的好教练，许多球队都想要他。 BHSN has learned that a discussion of a hypothetical head coaching change took place between Howard and recently resigned Magic CEO Bob Vander Weide, however, no offseason coaching change was made, which led to part of Howard's growing frustration with the team. A phone call to Vander Weide was not immediately returned. "Dwight has nothing to do with the coach situation," according to Kevin Samples, Howard's manager. When asked why a coaching change wasn't made after the Magic were bounced in the first round of the playoffs last season, Samples said, "That's a great question. You'll have to ask Otis (Smith)." Despite Van Gundy's public admittance that management has made him aware of Howard's request to have him fired, Magic GM Otis Smith has continued to deny it. Weeks ago, Smith also told BHSN he denied having any prior knowledge of Howard's preference for Shaw or Malone to replace Van Gundy. Howard continues to brush aside questions regarding his involvement in requesting a coaching change. "I don't want to talk about that," and "Next question," are Howard's typical lines of defense when pressed about the issue. "He'll have to talk about it eventually," Samples said. 魔术高层对此不做回应，Otis Smith也否认一切相关的提问。而Howard目前的反应也是 不愿讨论或回应相关的问题。 心得:Brian Shaw很不错阿，在禅师手下待过不少日子。又是年轻的教练而且也当过魔术 队球员，跟老学究型的的大范比起来应该更适合目前的魔术队。对了，这些小道消息是 球季开始前的消息，只是到底是谁最近一直在爆料，把这些之前台面下的东西通通挖出来 ...，魔兽人生的剧本以非篮球观点来看还蛮精采的。 相关延伸阅读: 捏爆橘子，怒喊 Michael ~~~~。 --
