随便翻= = ※ 引述《wisdom8002 (Blood、Sweat、Tears。)》之铭言： : David Kahn discusses Jefferson trade, says Wolves aren't done dealing : The Timberwolves officially announced the acquisition of two first-round : draft picks and center Kosta Koufos from the Utah Jazz for Al Jefferson on : Tuesday night. 交易发生了 : Wolves' general manager David Kahn spoke to reporters via conference call, : and he praised Jefferson's professionalism while also adding, "We're only : about halfway through this exercise." Kahn接受访问说这交易还只让灰狼前进到一半。 : Here are highlights from the Kahn conference call: 以下是概要 : General opening statement regarding trade: : I'm happy that we were able to find a trade that met our needs and met : (Jefferson's) needs, and put him on a winning ballclub. Beyond a winning : ballclub, the Utah Jazz is one of the classiest, most stable organizations in : our sport. I thought if it worked out for both of us, it would be wonderful : if Al could wind up in a place like that. 很高兴能做个对双方都好的决定而把AL送去强队。如果AL真能打出来就太棒了。 : I felt, as the summer went on, that this was the right time for us to get the : floor moving now. And I think Al came to the same conclusion independently. : He could see the trajectory of our team was at least a couple years away from : being a winning team, ant that would have been two more years of a lot of : pain for him, after several years beforehand. 我想双方都觉得该是前进的时候。AL在队上这麽多年，在球队无法短时间站起的 现在，在花更多时间在这支球队对AL也很不舒服。 : Why trade Jefferson now, rather than during last season or during this : upcoming season? 为甚麽是现在而不是上季或下季? : During the season (last year) he clearly had some trouble recovering from : this ACL and playing the way he played two years ago. But if he were in the : free agent market in effect, his value would rise. Some teams would just need : to have him. Over the last week, teams intensified their efforts to acquire : him. AL在复原中遇到麻烦，影响表现。但如果把它放到市场，他会很有价值。 : I thought two first rounders, even the protected ones, was probably the high : point. And with Kevin Love and Michael Beasley on the team, there wouldn't : have been as much playing time for everybody to showcase Al, even if we : wanted to opt for that route. I just felt the time was right. It was : important to me that we receive picks and not take back any players that : would compromise our ability to continue to add talent to the ballclub. 队上已经很多人，没时间分给AL，所以两个选秀很重要，可以继续囤积天份， : Can you discuss the protections on the two first-round picks? 谈谈两个第一轮选秀权 : I don't know if we're allowed to, first of all. I think that the protections : were fair. I believe that we could end up with both picks next year... I'd be : very surprised if we don't have both picks in our hands within the next few : years. 虽然一个有保护，但如果今年没有两个一起拿到我会很意外。 : Did Jefferson ever request a trade, as others have written? AL有要求被交易吗? : I think we both independently came to the same conclusion. I had a meeting : with his agent in New York in mid-May, and I expected to say to the agent, 'I : think the time is right to think about doing this.' As I said, I think we : independently came to the same conclusion, and I think that always makes it : easy. 我们是各自独立思考出这个同样结论。我和他经纪人谈，一开口就发现想法一样， 这样简单多了。 : I think Al's at a point in his career that he wants to experience what it's : like to win. I don't have any problems with that. I completely understand : where he was coming from. AL来到生涯中想要赢球的阶段。我对此并无异议。 : How many other teams were in the running at the end? 有多少球队参下来? : There were two other teams at the end that really had sincere interest and : were very motivated. I thought we took the deal that was best for us. 有2队最积极也让人心动。我认为我们选了好的那个。 : What about the makeup of the roster? Do you need a veteran? 对球阵容有啥看法?需要资深球员吗? : I think experience really matters, of course, I would never discount that. I : think that we have though in the young kids we have on the team, everybody I : think is a good person. And we talked last night about some of Michael's : issues that he had a year ago, but all indications are that Michael is : growing. I'm not saying grown, but growing. I'd love to have a couple : veterans on the team, there's no queston about it. 经验很重要。球队很多年轻人，大家都是好人。我们昨晚才一起讨论洨毕。 他确实在成长，未完成，但却有进展。我希望有几个资深球员，毫无疑问。 : The right thing for us to do now is to kind of continue talking, continue : exploring how we can make the ballclub better. 现在最正确的事就是继续沟通，展示我们会让球队更好。 : What about the cap flexibility you now have? 薪资空间呢? : The flexibility is enormous. Not just now, but as I envision what we do later : this summer. We're only about halfway through this exercise. I think we may : be able to accomplish these goals without adding too much to our salary : structure. 我们透过这交易才来到一半的地点，应该可以不增加太多财政负担而达到目标。 : If there's an opportunity for us to acquire another player that helps us, : acquire picks, just be really opportunistic... A lot of that goes behind what : went into this trade and why we chose to do it this summer. 如果有好机会改近球队，包括选秀权或球员我们会做 : Are you saving the cap space for trades or free agents? 会把薪资空间省起来吗? : I think we will look at anything and everything. It could be a little bit of : both. 任何事都有可能 : Luke Ridnour is rumored to be close to signing. Can you comment? Ridnour听说快签下来了，可以谈吗? : We had Luke in for a visit. I thought it went well... but I have nothing to : report on the matter. 一沏都很好，但无可奉告。 ================== 有够长= = 转用翻译文字请说明翻译者。 --
