But the fans, our customers, the community should expect us to have modest, yet significant improvement these last several weeks." 「有时当我谈起战绩这档事，Kurt 总会担心我会预期完美情况发生。」Kahn 说。「没这 回事。但是球迷们应该会期待我们过去几周展现适当进步，即便还不到显着的地步。」 Kahn said he isn't challenging his players in a confrontational way. Kahn 表示他不会用冲突的方式来激励球员们。 "They're professionals; they're in the league," he said. "Even though, obviously, we're not playing for the same kind of stakes playoff-wise as other teams are, this is a very important part of our maturation process these last couple months. 「他们都是待在职业联盟的球员。」他说。「显然地，虽然我们还没打出季後赛水准的 实力，但是过去几个月是球队成长过程的重要部分。」 "I really would like this (remainder of season) to be a springboard to what I expect to be a very solid next season, a really solid next season. I think finishing this year the right way will help toward that." 「但愿下半季是我们的跳板，迈向预期大幅成长的下个球季。把这个球季成功收尾将 有助於朝那目标前进。」 Kahn is disappointed in the Wolves' limited victories. Kahn 对於球队少少的胜场数有些失望。 "But I also recognize there have been at least 12 games that we frankly just kicked away," he said. "We just kicked them away. If we had won, say, four or five of those, I think everybody would be at peace. But I recognize that we didn't, and it's my job to be examining why you didn't, and make certain you're thinking about the team in the appropriate way to remedy those things down the road." 「但我也了解至少有12场比赛，我们有赢球机会。」他说。「我们只是无法守成。如果 我们拿下当中四或五场，大家就不会有太多意见。可是显然我们没做到，了解原因是我 的职责，并且进一步使用适当的方式来补救问题。」 --- Taylor 先前曾表示希望看到球队在下半季有明显进步，的确给了 Kahn 不少压力，毕 竟他的命运掌握在老板手上。而他自己也承认球队进步有限，接下来的那一步要怎麽走 ，很令人好奇。 差不多剩六天的时间，Kahn 只剩下这短短的时间来思考是否要使用空出的薪资空间。 新版CBA还没出炉，会不会影响交易意愿？球队在这届选秀会有三枚首轮选秀权，我们 还需要这麽多选秀权，还是拿来当筹码？那几位是球队核心？有很多问题等着他。 下一季的首轮签必须还给快艇，所以没有太多战绩差的空间。几天後的交易截止日，和 六月底选秀会是几个蛮重要的时间点。紧接着可能有封馆危机，一切就难说了。 --
