Here is the entire transcript: 雷霆GM在7/4晚上和记者见了面，回答记者关於KD离开的问题，以下为全文 Opening statement... Presti: "I'd just like to start off by saying, of course we're disappointed that Kevin Durant's tenure with the Thunder organization has come to a close. We'd all like to think that it could continue forward, but that's not the case. In these situations I think before we talk about the future, I do think it's important to be very grateful and thankful, and I'd like to thank Kevin for not only what he did for the team and our organization on the floor but also for what it is that he did for Oklahoma. I think he was synonymous with the Oklahoma City community as well as the Thunder organization, and very rarely in pro sports are you in a situation where a player has that kind of relationship and meaning to a city. Sam Presti：一开始我想说，当然，我们很失望，KD选择了离开雷霆这个团队。我们都以 为我们的关系会一直持续，但是事与愿违。现在，在讨论雷霆的未来之前，我认为我们需 要怀着感谢和感激，感谢KD在这些年来对雷霆，对整个Oklahoma所做的贡献。他的名字就 代表着Oklahoma City，代表着雷霆队。我们之间的关系真的很深刻和淳朴，很少见到一 个职业球员於一座城市有着这麽深刻的关系。 I think he helped Oklahoma City and Oklahoma in general in many ways in addition to just being a fantastic, fantastic basketball player. So we need to be thankful for that, and we absolutely are. KD在很多方面都为这座城市和这支球队贡献良多，而不仅仅是一个出色的篮球运动员。我 们必须对此心怀感激，而且我们的确如此。 At the same time, we're incredibly proud of the accomplishments that have taken place over the last eight years. Four out of six Western Conference Finals, as most of you know, being, I think, second in the league in playoff series victories, and having the fourth-best record in all of professional sports. He was a contributor to all of those things, and as an organization we should be incredibly proud of what his tenure represented. 同时，在过去的八年里，我们也一起取得了很多不可思议的成就。六年之中四次进入西区 决赛，系列赛胜利数第二，以及联盟第四好的战绩等等。KD在其中贡献良多，我们都为他 的成就感到骄傲。 Again, when you get into a situation where a player of this magnitude chooses to pursue another challenge in their career, I think we've always shown that we're not going to be deterred. We're going to continue to advance, and we've always taken the approach of things are more new beginnings than endings, and there's a new beginning here for the Thunder. We have to embrace that, and we have to lean into that. 现在，你的队中如此重要的球员选择离开，去尝试新的挑战。我们绝不会就此裹足不前， 雷霆也一直证明了其永远向上的特质，我们会继续不断进步，对雷霆，与其说这是一个时 代的结束，不如说是一个新的开始。我们会面对和接受这个现实，并且要开始一步一脚印 的走下去。 None of us are under the illusion that Kevin Durant would be here forever. We understood that this is a business and he has to do what is best for him, but we also understand that part of the NBA and part of sports in general is change, even when you'd prefer that wasn't the case. 没有人会一直沉浸在“KD永远待在雷霆”这个假象了，这是一个商业上的决定，KD选择了 对他最好的决定，我们也明白这也是整个NBA的运作机制的一部分，虽然说球员永远都在 流动，而你也知道，我们也不希望这件事发生。 In terms of moving forward, obviously we have a lot of different scenarios that we plan for under these circumstances. We're going to take a step back, look at those carefully, try to make quality, thoughtful decisions, and those of you that have been around us and been with us for the eight years we've been here, we've never been impulsive. We've never been reactionary. We've never been careless with putting this franchise in the best possible position to be strong and be healthy and be competitive, and I feel like we've been able to do that. 球队还需要继续前进，很显然，在这种情况下，我们有很多的可能性，我们会仔细思考， 做出最深思熟虑，最有质量且最合适的决定。在Oklahoma City的这八年里，雷霆这个团 队永远不会做出冲动性的举动，以後也一直如此。我们不会保守，也会不遗余力的要把这 支球队变得更强、更健康、更有竞争性。我认为我们能够做到这些。 So we wouldn't change that right now, so we'll be careful and thoughtful and hopefully intelligent about how we go forward. I don't think we'd be in the position that we are right now in terms of the accomplishments over the last eight years if we hadn't taken that approach. 所以我们不会改变我们的目标，现在，我们需要更仔细，深思熟虑的去做一些明智的决定 去推动球队发展。如果我们不这样做，我们之前的八年也不会取得这些成就。 Although the organization will be different without Kevin, the principles, the values, the things that he helped establish as one of the founding fathers of the organization remain intact and will serve as a bedrock for us going forward. 我们都知道KD是几个建立起这支球队的人之一。尽管他的离开会让这支团队的构成有所变 化，但球队的价值观、建队原则以及球队的文化积淀永远会保持完整，不会受到伤害。这 些球队文化会是我们前进的基石。 With that, I would answer any questions that anyone would like to ask me." 在以上的前提下，我会回答所有你们问的问题 Q.Have you talked to Russ yet? 记者：你和西河聊过吗？ Presti: "I have not personally talked to Russell. We've communicated through texts and then several of our staff members have talked with him. I've been attending to other parts of my duties, but I'll talk with Russell and the other guys here probably either tonight or tomorrow." 我本人现在还没当面和他聊过，不过我们已经互相用简讯交流过，我们的几个工作人员也 和他当面聊过了，我最近几天一直忙於工作，但是我会在今天晚上或者明天，和西河以及 球队其他几名成员谈谈。 Q.Has he said anything via text as far as where he stands right now and how he's feeling about all of this? 记者：对於KD离开，西河有表达过他自己的立场吗？他现在的感觉如何？ Presti: "I would probably say even if he did, I probably wouldn't share that with the masses. But we talk to those guys all the time, and they're such a huge part of everything we do. We're communicating with them all the time." 我不得不说，即使Russ表达过他的观点和感受，我也不会在这里与大家分享。不过我们一 直和球员们保持沟通，他们对於这个团队的贡献，他们的付出是如此之大，我们会一直保 持交流的。 Q. When did you find out? What did he tell you? And what was the prevailing reason? 记者：你什麽时候知道KD要离开？你知道他离开的主要原因吗？ Presti: "You know, I found out a few minutes before the media. He called me with his agent and business manager, and we had a conversation. Kevin was great. 我在媒体公布消息之前的几分钟知道了他要离开，KD和他的经纪人以及商业经理给我打了 个电话，我们聊了一些东西，KD是个好孩子。 Again, I think opportunity to pursue a different challenge and step outside his comfort zone. Those were the things that were conveyed to me. I was more interested in making sure that -- he and I are going to talk probably down the line. We've worked together for nine years. I have nothing but respect for him. Those obviously aren't easy conversations, but they're necessary, and I'm appreciative that he called me himself." KD希望能得到机会换一个环境，走出自己的舒适区域去接受新的挑战。这也是他们想要给 我传达的观点。我之前更感兴趣的是，我想要确定他是不是想和我当面说而不是透过电话 。不过我们一起共事了九年，我对他满怀尊敬，这些很明显不是轻松的谈话，但是很有必 要，我很感激他亲自打电话给我。 Q. Last time we heard from you, you sounded pretty confident that he'd stay. Were you surprised at all by the decision he made? 记者：上一次我们听到关於你的消息时，你对於留下KD信心满满，你对他的决定感到震惊 吗？ Presti: "Well, I mean, I think that's your categorization of confident. I don't think I ever said that I was confident he would stay. I think what I said up until today was this is a decision that he's earned the right to make. We've worked with incredible intention and integrity for eight years to try to build an organization that had a chance to compete year in and year out, that was synonymous with the core values of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City, and we were hopeful that that would be something he would want to continue to be a part of and represent for a very long time. 我只能说，这是你们对於自信的定义和我不一样。我认为我从来没有自信的认为KD会留下 ，我现在还是那个观点，KD拥有自己做决定的权利。八年里我们一起为了同一个目标努力 ，建立了一个有机会能年复一年争夺冠军的出色团队。球队文化也和这个城市紧密地联系 在一起，我们都希望这些能让他能继续成为其中的一份子，直到永远。 But we're under no illusion that he would be back or he wouldn't be back. That was something that we understood and understood for a long time. I wouldn't categorize it like we were confident or we were pessimistic. We just were ourselves." 不过我们永远也不会沉浸在“他会不会回来”这类事情。我们都知道接下来的任务，我也 不会把这件事评定为积极或者消极，因为我们就是我们，雷霆队的气质永远不变。 Q. Did you get any sense in the meetings over the weekend that it might be headed this direction, or did you feel – 记者：之前那个周末的那次聚会你有没有意识到他可能会走？ Presti: "Well, I mean, when you do this long enough, you can -- I would say this: I would say we have means known and unknown to try to understand and interpret where things probably are headed, and so we had a pretty good indication, I think, that this was a potential outcome. 怎麽说，当你做球队经理足够长的时间，你就会发现，嗯，这样说吧，当你有方法去了解 一些事情，你会试着去理解和解读事情会怎麽发展，我们得到过一些很有用的暗示，所以 我认为，这是个可能的结果。 But again, this is the NBA, and things like this take shape and they take shape in different forms. Unfortunately this one didn't go our way, but I couldn't be more proud of how our organization, our players and our staff conducted themselves over this I would say probably two-year period of time. I do feel so proud of the fact that even when we were relatively sure that it probably wasn't going to go our way, eight staff members and our owner stayed in New York overnight just to be there to kind of finish it out. We've been at everything for Kevin. We've been at his college jersey retirement and countless community events, first All-Star games, every first in his career we've been a part of, and we wanted to finish it out the right way by being present whenever that decision was made, regardless of how it turned out, and I'm very proud of how we conducted ourselves in a lot of the different things that take place in this business. I think it only serves us going forward." 但是，话又说回来，这是NBA，事情发展各有不同，这次很不幸，事情没有往我们希望的 方向发展。但是，我为我们的团队(包括制服组和球员)感到骄傲和自豪，他们花了大概两 年来准备这件事，而且当我们得到一些消息暗示KD准备离开的时候，我们八名工作人员和 老板依然去了纽约去把这件事情完成。我们的目标一直是让KD留下，我们出现在KD的大学 球衣退役仪式，出现在他数不清的每次社区活动，出现在他的第一次全明星之旅。我们陪 他度过了他的所有第一次。我们希望当他做出决定时，无论结果如何，我们都对自己的工 作感到自豪，我们在与KD的这段关系中做了很多不同的事情，而这种态度也会一直激励我 们前进。 Back to your saying you're not going to be reactionary, would that then possibly imply that you had a Plan B or C and you'll now act on those plans? 记者：刚才你说你不会变的消极，那麽你是不是暗示你会有plan B或者Plan C，你会现在 执行这些计划吗？ Presti: "I mean, we have a lot of plans for a lot of different scenarios. But I think the number one thing is we don't necessarily control the environment in which those plans are executed. Free agency is pretty fluid. In this particular marketplace, things have moved really quickly because of the cap spike and the money, and each day things change. We'll sit down, we'll look at where we are, and as I said before, like I think if you're impulsive, you can be limited. We don't want to limit ourselves. We want to take a hard look at what's best for the Thunder, and that's always how we've conducted our business. 我想说我们对於不同的情况都有很多的计划，但是最重要的事情是，我不能控制在什麽情 况下我们会执行这些计划。自由球员市场流动很快，在这个特殊的市场里，事情瞬息万变 ，尤其是因为薪资上限上涨，市场行情每天都不一样，我们会考虑自己的位置，就像我之 前说的，如果你冲动了，那麽你很有可能会处处受制。我们不会让我们处在受制的地位， 我们会认真的思考什麽对雷霆更有利，我们也一直会让球队变得更出色。 And I think it's one of the reasons why even in the situation that we find ourselves, where Kevin Durant has chosen to pursue a different challenge, we can look at our team and feel pretty good about the fact that we have the benefit of having an MVP-level player on the team already. We have a group of young players that have been accumulated to surround Kevin and Russell so that they could compete for championships long into the future, and to look at our organization and the health of the organization relative to players like Victor Oladipo who we just acquired at 23, Steven Adams who has an incredibly bright future, Enes Kanter, Andre Roberson, Cameron Payne, and I could go on down the list, Sabonis, these are all players who we feel like we're excited about. 即使KD选择离开球队接受新的挑战，我们也对我们的球队抱有信心，我们有一个MVP级别 的球员，我们有一群年轻球员，他们有天赋能帮助Russ和KD在未来很长一段时间去争夺总 冠军。我们的球队很健康，刚刚得到了23岁的Oladipo，加上Adams，Kanter，Payne， Roberson，最後加上Sabonis。这些球员依然会让比赛值得期待 I'm not trying to lead you down the path that losing a player of Kevin's magnitude -- you can't replace him, but I think given the circumstances, we're also very fortunate because we've prepared ourselves in the event that this was something that did take place." 当然我并不是要消弭KD离开对球队的影响，没有人能代替KD，但是监於现在的情况，我们 很幸运当这件事发生之後，还能拥有这麽出色的球队。 Q. Other teams use players in their recruitment to bring in guys, Celtics, Warriors. Why didn't you bring in players, particularly Russell, to talk to Kevin? 记者：别的队在招募KD的时候都带了很多球员，你们怎麽不带球员比如说西河，去招募KD 呢？ Presti: "How do you know that we didn't?" 你怎麽知道我们没有？ Q. Just reports. 记者：就是看到的报导。 Presti: "So I guess the first thing I'd say to that is that one of the things that took place was Kevin, Russell and Nick met before the process started. I think it's important to give those guys time away from a meeting setting so that they can talk openly and candidly, and I talk all the time about those guys being the founding fathers, and those guys, they need to have those conversations that are authentic, and I feel really good that given the outcome that they had time together one more time as teammates. 我首先要说的是，当KD与其他球队会面之前，我们带了Russ和Collison与KD进行了一次非 正式的聊天。我认为给这些球员一个非正式的会面是很有必要的，这能让他们更放得开更 坦诚的去探讨问题。而我和这些球员一直保持着联系，他们是球队的基石，你需要让他们 开诚布公的谈一次。我很高兴能让他们以队友的身份在KD离开之前聚了一次。 Our players are in touch with Kevin. But I also love our players so much because they respected the fact that he needed his space to make his own decision, to make a decision that he felt was representative of his priorities and what was important to him. For us to judge that or for us to label that, that's not how we operate. Those are his choices, and we're going to support what it is that he feels is the most important thing for him right now, and that means moving to Golden State." 我们的队员和KD一直有联系，但是他们也都很尊敬KD的个人空间，让他一个人对他的未来 做决定。我们不会因为这些事判断球员们的好坏，这根本不是我们的行事风格。这个选择 是KD自己决定的，他知道现阶段什麽对他是最重要的，我们会一直支持他的选择，也就是 去勇士的这个决定。 Q. Does this change how you feel with the future, letting this play out this summer and just questioning to Kevin, you've got Russell and replacements coming up? Does that change how you deal with him in free agency? 记者：你现在已经有Russ和一些替代的选择加入球队了，KD的决定会不会影响你对球队未 来的判断？KD的决定会不会影响你对Russ在自由球员市场的处理方式？ Presti: "I don't understand the question exactly." 我不太懂你的问题。 Q. Well, Kevin basically went to this point. Do you handle Russell the same way in terms of – 记者：简单点说，KD已经走了，这件事儿会不会影响你处理Russ成为自由球员这件事？ Presti: "I see what you're saying. Again, I think Kevin went to this point because our focus was on having a tremendous season, which if we were thinking about July in October, which I tried to move us not to do, we would have probably not enjoyed the year that we had. We had an incredible season of basketball in Oklahoma City. In my opinion, I think it was our best season. 我想我能理解你想问的是什麽，我们之所以放任KD在休赛期作为自由球员白白走掉是因为 去年我们的工作重心在於夺冠，虽然我本意也想避免这个局面发生，但假如我们在去年10 月就开始着手准备今天7月才会发生的事，那样我们在这个球季就不能纯粹地享受篮球。 但是就我来说，过去的这个球季是十分不可思议的，是我们最好的球季。 To, I think, have a 7-5 record against the Warriors and Spurs in the postseason, a winning record against those two teams, to go to Game 7 at Golden State, to be up 3-1, and to also overcome a lot of the different things that were thrown our way, I couldn't be more proud of the team and also to do all that in the specter of a free-agency year for one of our franchise players. But to me, I think, as I said before, this team spent itself, and it really, really spent itself and gave itself an incredible opportunity. We're really proud of that." 我认为能在季後赛面对勇士和马刺这样如此出色的球队，打出7胜5负的战绩，面对勇士队 3-1领先，在球季间克服了很多挫折，在我们对上的关键球员即将成为自由球员的夏天之 前，我们的球队还能有这样的表现，我无比自豪。 对我来说，就像我之前说的，雷霆队拼尽了全力，整支团队都尽了自己最大的努力，也给 了自己一个最好的机会。 Q. A few minutes ago, you said what sounded to me like you felt like you had done as much as you could do in acquiring talent and building, winning and those sorts of things, but you also referenced a second ago the change in rules and how that's really almost shifted the sands underneath you without almost a prediction that that's coming. What's been your level of frustration just in dealing with that as the rules have changed with cap and salary and that sort of thing? 记者：刚才你说，你已经做了足够多的事情来建造这支具有如此天赋的球队，但是，规则 的改变可能对KD的决定产生了很大影响。你现在感觉有多沮丧，尤其是要面对薪资上限和 球员薪水的改变这些事？ Presti: "Honestly, when I said this earlier, I didn't mean to infer that, and I can't even remember what the question was. I apologize. But you know, listen, the NBA and other businesses, they're not created equally. There's unevenness to things. My grandfather, I get a letter from my grandfather that I keep and I read a lot, and one of the things he said, it's like, it's not what they -- it's not what they make of you, it's what you make of what they make of you. That to me is about adapting and adjusting and continuing to press on and trying to achieve what it is we've tried to achieve, which is to put the team in position to compete for championships in a sustainable fashion, and I feel as if we were able to do that. 诚实的说，我并没有想到暗示这些。我现在都忘记你的问题内容了，说声抱歉。但是你知 道，NBA和其他的职业联盟一样，并不是每支球队都生来平等的，每支球队在很多方面都 是不相同的。我的祖父给我写过一封信，我一直保存着，也时常拿起来读。那句话是这麽 说的“并不是环境决定你成为什麽样的人，而是你自己一直在创造一个影响自己成长的环 境。it's not what they make of you, it's what you make of what they make of you.”对我来说，也就意味着适应和调整，然後努力争取我们一直想要的东西，也就是让 球队一直有竞争力，争夺总冠军，我认为我们有能力做到这些。 Obviously we didn't finish the job, but I think we're also prepared to continue to do that into the future. 显然，我们还没有完成工作，但是我认为我们已经准备好了在未来继续完成这项未完成的 目标。 Unfortunately we're not going to be able to see that particular iteration of the Thunder through. I think it would have been a special thing. But the circumstances that change around you, you know, that I think we could spend hours talking about that, but it's wasted energy. It's inefficient, and at the of the day, I'm not so sure that many people care." 很遗憾，我们不能见证之前那只拥有KD的球队完成这一切，本来这一切都是一件特殊的事 情。但是，周围的环境是会变化的，我可以针对这件事说好几个小时，但是这都是浪费精 力，毫无效率，我也不确定有很多人关心这些事。 Q. Was there a point you felt a change in this whole process, through the weekend, all the meetings, or even before that where you felt that maybe he was more considering another team? 记者：在这整个过程中，或者说这个周末，有没有一个时间点，你觉得KD可能更倾向於加 入其他队伍？ Presti: "As I said before, like we have ways of -- known and unknown, of understanding where things are headed. I don't want to comment on when or how or who or what. It was important to us to finish the process and be there to support whatever decision he ultimately did make. As I said before, because as an organization we consider ourselves a family, and we wanted to make sure that even if it wasn't a decision that was going to go our way, we wanted to be present in the event that he needed anything from us. As I said before, I'll never forget for the rest of my life sitting in -- I can't remember the name of the restaurant. We spent a lot of time there. I don't remember the name of the restaurant. Sitting there in the Hamptons with eight people who I love and adore that I work with, with the owner of our team, who was standing by and sitting there. And even knowing -- after the fact that it didn't go our way and the plane trip home and just knowing that that decision didn't go our way, but it kind of brings you closer in a lot of ways. That was an incredible experience to be honest with you, like a really family experience, because it was disappointing, it was hurtful, but at the end of the day, it's what he felt was best for him. He's free to do that. He's earned the right to do that." 就像我之前说的，我们有知道的事，也有不知道的事。我不想评论具体的时间、地点、人 物和事件。对我们来说，支持KD的决定，然後把我们的工作完成，这才是最重要的。我们 的团队就是一个集体，就像一个家，就算事情发展的方向并不如我所愿，但是我们必须确 保KD在我们这里能能得到他所需要的任何事。我永远不会忘记，在纽约的那个餐馆里，对 不起我忘了餐馆的名字，我和八位我尊敬且热爱的同事加上老板，与KD一起讨论的场景。 尽管那个时候我们已经知道KD的决定很可能不会如我所愿，但是那种经历真的能让人们在 很多方面感觉更亲密，实话跟你说，这种经历真的很特别，就像家人一样，因为它让人失 望，所以收到的伤害更深，不过，最终他选择了对他最好的方式，他为我们的贡献如此之 大，他有权利做任何决定，而我们支持他。 Q. How do you see Russ's role going forward, not just losing Kevin but you lost Serge, a guy that had been around for an awful long time. What do you see him in terms of that leadership? 记者：你怎麽看待Russ的角色转变？你们不仅失去了KD，也失去了Ibaka，这两位在你们 的团队中都曾经有着重要位置，你怎麽看待他的领导力？ Presti: "Well, as I said before, Russell Westbrook is a force of nature. He is a true leader in the sense that he takes it on. He takes it on, and I think he'll take this on, as well. He has helped establish the standards that we work by, as have Kevin and the other players that have come before us. 就像我之前说的，西河拥有一股与生俱来的力量，他是一个天生的领袖，他永远都肩负着 球队，我也认为他将会继续这麽做。他的工作态度给我们的团队定下了基调，设定了标准 ，就像KD和其他球员做的那样。 But this is a different situation, and I know that Russell will adjust and adapt to that." 不过现在的情况也不同了，我知道Russ将会调整和适应新状况。 Given the timing of the announcement today and having seen so many free agents already lock up agreements with other teams, do you feel limited in your ability to go out and work the free-agent market? 记者：随着今天的宣布，而且自由市场上很多球员都已经签约了，你认为你现在在自由球 员市场上的操作是否受到限制？ Presti: "As I said earlier, you know, given the spike in the cap and given the amount of money that's in the system, free agency is going to move faster this year. Again, though, you used that exact word limited. I think to be impulsive is to be limited. Sometimes you can't catch the first wave that comes toward you, and if we were in a habit of doing that, I don't think we'd be in the position to have the foundation that we have, which I think is pretty unique, given the loss that we just took on. 就像我之前说的，监於薪资上限的上涨，以及老板们挥舞钞票，自由球员的流动会变快。 你说到“限制”，我认为如果你冲动，你就会受到限制。有些时候你不会抓到第一波冲到 岸边的大鱼，如果我们一直想要急着做决定，那麽我们也不会有我们现在坚实的球队基础 和特殊的球队文化，这一直是十分特别的，监於我们现在的处境，我觉得我们应该保持这 样的态度。 We feel really good about how we're positioned as a franchise, as an organization. We'll look at everything to see how we can continue to make the team better. We'd do that anyway. And we had certain plans that in the event that Kevin would have stayed. 我很满意我们球队和我们这个团体所处的位置，我们会竭尽所能的寻找提高球队的方法。 如果KD留下，我们有很多特殊的计划来补强。 But I think to be impulsive or to be reactionary would probably limit us further, and it's never allowed us or it has never been part of the formula of keeping us at almost a 70-percent winning percentage over the last several years." 但是我认为，现在太激进或者太保守都会让我们在未来受到限制，对於我们这支过去几年 胜率在70%的球队来说，我不会让这些事情发生。 Q. You mentioned Kevin's impact on and off the court. What would you tell the fans out there? They're obviously pretty crushed. 记者：你刚才提到了KD对於球队的影响，那麽你会怎麽跟你的球迷们说？他们感到非常崩 溃吧？ Presti: "Well, the first thing I'd say is Kevin has the -- has earned the right to make a decision that's best for him. We have to be truly grateful for what he represented for the Thunder and also for the city and the community. He gave back with his time. He gave back with his dollars. And we need to recognize that. We need to honor that. 首先我还是想说，KD为我们这个团队，为了这座城市，为了社区付出很多，他贡献了时间 ，金钱和精力，他完全有权利做他认为对他最好的选择。我们必须给他称赞。 I'd also say that what we have been able to experience in Oklahoma City over the last several years is truly something remarkable. As I said before, I don't want to keep talking about the postseason accomplishments and the different things that have taken place, but it's a really special thing to be a part of a team that walks into the season every year with a chance to win the title and with a group of guys that are passionate, that are hard-working, high-character, not perfect, you know, but putting ourselves in a position to have an enjoyable experience watching the team year in and year out. So we have to be grateful for that. 我也不得不说，过去几年，Oklahoma City经历了一段不可思议的时光，我不想重复我们 在季後赛的成就以及各种事情，但是能成为这样一支球队的一员，年年争夺冠军，能和这 些热情、有才华、努力、富有魅力的人员一起工作，享受这些时光，年复一年，我们为此 感到感激。 And I also think that the fans themselves in Oklahoma City are very unique because one of the things that they have done for Kevin Durant and others is they've created unconditional support, unconditional support, and I think in Oklahoma City if you're playing hard and you're giving effort and you are trying to do the right things off the floor, they cheer for you, and that helps in my opinion players grow and thrive, and I think Kevin was a big beneficiary of that, and he'll now take a lot of those things that he has experienced and built on here, and he's going to apply those somewhere else, but that's not a statement or judgment on Oklahoma City or the fans of Oklahoma for sure." Oklahoma City的球迷是独一无二的，他们为KD和其他球员提供了无条件的支持，无条件 的毫无私心的支持。在雷霆，只要你努力打球，上场战斗，做正确的事情，那麽球迷就会 为你欢呼，这也会让一个球员成长，直到枝繁叶茂。KD也是这个环境的受益人，这也是他 自己经历并且努力经营的，他现在要享受这些所带来的成果，把这些品质带到其他的地方 ，但是你完全不能凭藉简单几个词就评价俄克拉荷马这座城市或者他们可爱的球迷。 Q.Given your track record in developing draft picks, if something does present itself where Russell can be dealt or acquired for draft picks, does that give you more confidence given your track record, making that kind of deal? 记者：监於你们在选秀层面上的成功，Russ会被交易换选秀权吗？这些经历会不会让你们 在重建道路上更有信心，会促使你们做这样的交易？ Presti: "I wouldn't link those two things together. I mean, anything -- listen, I don't have my head in the sand. I understand all the speculation and things that make the internet go around. I think this is what Adam Silver had in mind when he said 2016 free agency was going to blow up Facebook. He was kind of a prophet with that. 我不认为这两件事情有什麽联系，根本无关。我不会把头埋在沙子里，我理解在网路上的 各种推断，我认为Silver对於2016年的自由市场爆发早有胸有成竹。 But I would say that anything like that with Russell is hypothetical. Everybody knows how we feel about Russell. I think that in regards to our ability to draft and develop, that's an organizational thing. I think -- and I also think it's a community thing, too, because of the support that our fans and the environment our fans create for a lot of our players to thrive and grow and understand the development process. That's part of what makes playing in Oklahoma City to me so unique is the fans and their appreciation of the players as people and not just as athletes." 我可以说，任何对於Russ的流言都是假说，每个人都知道Russ对於我们的意义。关於我们 的选秀能力，那是我们的团队能力，也是整个球队社区的能力，因为我们球迷的支持，球 迷所创造的环境，能让球员们成长并成为伟大，他们也会了解这整个过程，这也是为什麽 在Oklahoma City打球会是一件这麽特殊的事情，球迷对球员的支持和欣赏不仅在篮球层 面，而且也在个人魅力。 Q. There were rumors that you guys were interested in Al Horford. He goes to Boston, Kevin goes to Golden State, so, lose your home-grown talent, you don't sign a big-time free agent. What does that say to the guys who are here in the organization already and what does that say to the guys outside the organization that might consider coming here? 记者：之前有消息说你们有意Horford，然後他去了超赛，KD去了勇士。所以，你们现在 失去了KD，你们也不会签入大牌自由球员了，你对你现在的这些队员们会说点什麽？你对 於将来加入球队的队员会说什麽？ Presti: "Well, I think Al was really, really interested, but obviously the timing of Kevin's situation and his just didn't link up, and that's part of free agency. That's how it goes. 我们对Horford十分有兴趣，但是很显然，KD做决定的时间和他签约的时间 实在是不合拍，没办法，这就是自由球员市场。 But again, I think we put ourselves in a position on draft night with that trade or that decision to have the flexibility to put ourselves in a position to have that conversation with Al Horford, and now in this case here, to be in a position where we have Oladipo and Sabonis and Ersan to move forward with. 不过，我们通过选秀夜的交易，得到了能和Horford对话的机会，而现在我们也有Oladipo ，Ilyasova和Sabonis这样的球员和我们一起前进。 I'm not sure understanding -- I think I know what you're trying to say, but I would say that we've had tremendous success here, and I think that a lot of the players that have played here understand kind of what makes us tick and how we operate and how we treat people, and I think that also permeates through the rest of the league." 我大概知道你想问些什麽，但是我会说我们在这里已经有了巨大的成功，那些在这里打过 球的球员都会知道我们成功的方式，我们处理事情以及待人接物的品格，这些事情也会慢 慢的在联盟散播开来。 Q.With Kevin gone, how are things going to be different in terms of your offense and everything like that? Do you think you have players on your team that can take on a bigger role, not that they're going to average 28, but other guys can take on a bigger role? 记者：KD离开了之後，你认为你们的进攻或者其他事情会怎麽变化？你认为队伍里的其他 球员会承担更重的责任？ Presti: "Sure. Well, this is what I would say. I would say that Billy -- and this is one of the reasons why I think Billy is so good -- Billy is able to work with and create options on the floor based on who he has to work with. He's really, really masterful at that. 当然，我想说，这是Donovan为什麽如此出色的原因，他能根据手上现有的牌面去尽力调 整和变化，他真的是这方面的大师。 If I know him, which I do, he's probably already thinking and has already thought about style of play, things that we have to do differently. As I said before, you don't replace Kevin Durant. He had the ball in his hands half the quarter probably. And that's going to have to be an adjustment. 就我对他的了解，他现在可能已经开始认真地考虑打球方式的变化，那些我们必须要做的 改变，就像我所说的，你不可能替代KD，他能在比赛中持球、传球和攻击，所以现在我们 必须有所调整。 As I said before, if we were to try to Band-Aid or quick fix or impulsively try to recreate a team, I think that would probably lead us in a direction we'd be disappointed in. 就像我所说的，如果我们想快速给伤口贴一个OK绷，或者冲动的弥补这个伤口，然後重新 组建球队，那麽我们很可能就会陷入一个让自己失望的方向前进了。 So we have to take our time to understand where we are personnel-wise, style of play wise, and I have total confidence in Billy and our coaching staff to look at where we are and continue to try to evolve the identity of the team." 所以，我们必须一步一步慢慢来，利用我们的聪明才智。我很相信多诺万教练和我们的教 练团队，他们会根据现有条件，让我们持续的进化成一支有自身特点的球队。 Q.Do you put any part of Kevin's departure on yourself personally? 记者：你觉得KD的离开是你自己的责任麽？ Presti: "I mean, I'm responsible for everything. I will accept whatever amount of responsibility that you feel I deserve." 怎麽说，我为所有的事情负责，你认为我有任何程度的失职，我都接受。 Q.How should Oklahoma feel about Kevin Durant today? 记者：你认为现在的Oklahoma怎麽看待KD？ Presti: "How should they feel about him? You know, listen, I'm not going to tell people how to feel or not to judge or what have you. I just think that what he represented for the city was something larger than basketball. I think that he arrived at a time where the city was also on an upward trajectory, a 20-year-old young man in an aspirational city. People kind of snicker and kind of sneer when we talk about that kind of stuff, but my guess is you're probably not doing that right now. 你知道的，我不会告诉人们应该怎样评价这件事。KD给这座城市带来的绝对不仅是篮球层 面上的东西，当他来到这个城市的时候，球队处在一个向上的轨道，一个20岁的年轻人， 一座有野心的城市，当我们谈论我们要干一番大事业的时候，人们会私底下偷偷嘲笑我们 ，然而现在呢，你们应该不会这麽做了吧。 You know, we talk and you guys would hear me say, this connection to this community, and the typing would stop and the eyes would roll. But I was saying that truthfully and authentically because I know how this business works, and I know that these days are possible. And we need to recognize what exactly took place here over the last eight years and recognize it and celebrate it. 我在这里一直重复这支球队和社区之间的联系，你们就会停下打字，翻翻白眼。但是我真 的想说，我说的这些都是十分确信和可靠的，因为我知道这整个体系是怎麽运转的，这些 愉快的时光也是真实存在。我们需要意识到，过去八年，在Oklahoma City这个地方发生 了什麽，好好珍惜这些。 They should feel thankful, grateful. They should not -- I can't tell them not to be disappointed, but the one thing I would also say is the city should be incredibly proud of what they've helped create for the Thunder. It's not possible without that. They need to carry that on. They need to carry on the spirit and the fight and the grit, because that was here before the Thunder. That was here before the Thunder, that spirit, that ability to continue to press forward. That's in the water here. 我们需要感谢，感激KD的贡献。我不能说这让球迷不感到失望，但是我可以确定一件事， 就是整个城市都很自豪他们为这支雷霆队所创造的一切。没有这座可爱的城市，这些都不 会发生。他们需要度过这段时间，继续努力，坚持这种精神，越磨砺越锋芒，因为这种精 神在雷霆来到这座城市之前就存在了。这种努力向前的精神，是Oklahoma City之魂。 I think all of us, Kevin included, was a beneficiary of that approach and what's in Oklahoma. So my message would be, carry on. Carry on and continue to be proud of what it is that you represent. It's much bigger than the Thunder." 我们所有人，包括KD，都是这种精神以及这座城市的受益者，所以我要向你们传达的就是 ：坚持下去，坚持下去，继续努力。我们为这座城市的精神而感到骄傲，这比雷霆要远远 大得多。 [几点想法] 1.在虎扑上看到记者会全文的翻译，觉得很有意思也很有感触，润饰修改了一下贴上来 2.身在Oklahoma这样的小市场，几乎吸引不到自由球员的眼光(最大咖的可能就是老渔吧) 靠着GM的一些交易跟准确的选秀，还是有办法年年保持争冠行列，Sam Presti功不可没， 在访谈中可以看到很多他的挣扎跟坚持。 3.身为Oklahoma唯一的四大运动职业队，当地人也真的是很珍惜，倾其全力在支持雷霆， ，但运气甚麽的还是就差了一点，接下来几年就看Sam Presti的操作了， --
