http://0rz.tw/G4PtH Geoff Petrie really had nothing to prove, but he proved it anyway. He can pick a player in a haystack. Philadelphia. Israel. Serbia. Zanesville, Ohio. Turkey. Argentina. Spain. Dominican Republic. Seattle. 總管不需要證明什麼 , 或是已經在世界各地證明了什麼 他可以從乾草堆 , 費城 (JT), 以色列(Omri) , 南斯拉夫(Peja,Divac) , Zanesville, Ohio (KM) Turkey (Hedo) Argentina (NOC) Spain (SROD) 多明尼加 (CISCO) Seattle (HAWES) 找來他想要的球員...... That slump wasn't going to last forever. 而且未來只會有更多驚奇 Petrie, who is in the midst of overseeing the resurrection of the Kings, deserves every penny and every accolade directed his way these days PETRIE ,這個國王重建的首腦人物之一 值得爲他這陣子的表現而得到無上的獎勵 The contract extension he signed Monday, a three-year deal he personally negotiated with the Maloofs, has been a foregone conclusion for months, maybe forever, and certainly since the convergence of Paul Westphal, Tyreke Evans, Omri Casspi and Jon Brockman. 星期一球隊延長了他的合約 , 這一份三年的合約總管有向老闆談很久了 簽約這是必然之勢 因為總管把TE, OMRI, BROCKMAN 跟 西佛 一起帶來國王 What is amazing – truly, truly amazing in the gluttonous world of professional sports – is that Petrie agreed to continue working for appetizers. Relatively speaking, of course. After earning approximately $4 million this season, the NBA's longest-tenured executive will make $1.2 million, $1.4 million and $1.5 million – absorbing a massive financial hit in his desire to remain with the organization. 這是一件奇聞! 在這種惟利是途的職業運動世界 居然有人還談著理想 PETRIE是NBA目前在位最久的球隊GM, 去年他領到400多萬美金 今年因為全球經濟問題 他接下來三年分別只能拿到 1.2 , 1.4 , 1.5 百萬美元 He has his reasons, of course. Several of them. He was among the league's highest-paid executives during the glory years despite the organization's small-market status. His inner circle includes his mentor/father-figure Pete Carril. His wife, Anne-Marie, has a career. His son, Mike, with the team for more than a decade, received a nice promotion to assistant basketball vice-president. His longtime ally Wayne Cooper was bumped up to general manager. And, as everyone who spends time around the Kings comes to realize, Petrie, as the undisputed power behind the throne, likes the view from the top. 他續留國王有他的想法 , 他是NBA在位最久的GM 帶領國王這個小市場球隊走過最輝煌的 年代 他跟這裡的人已不可分離 他的恩師 Pete Carril 他的妻子的工作 他的兒子在國王工作超過十年並且升職到籃球部助理總裁 他長期的同夥Wayne Cooper調職成總經理 還有花時間陪國王一路走來每個人 PETRIE在這裡是最權威意見的象徵 "There is really no place I would rather work," he said on the phone following Tuesday's news conference at Riverside Clubhouse. "There's too much commitment. Too much history. Too many relationships. The money part of this is tangential. Given the economy, what's happened in the job market everywhere … I happen to believe in shared sacrifices." PETRIE電話裡表示 "我沒有打算爲其他地方工作 有太多的責任在我身上 , 很多革命情感, 很多人情 其實經濟不景氣 , 到哪可能拿的價錢都差不多 我發現施比受更有福的道理 多犧牲一點就對了 " Petrie, 61, also enjoys an extraordinary relationship with his bosses. Though complete opposites on many levels, Petrie and the Maloofs are like Lennon and McCartney before Yoko Ono. They argue. They sulk. They apologize. They recover. PETRIE今年 61歲了 , 跟老闆有著超出一般部屬的關係 他們就像 披頭四搭檔 Lennon 跟McCartney一樣關係密切 他們爭論 生氣 , 並且事後道歉並重修舊好 "Geoff is like an older brother," Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof reiterated, "and like any family, there have been tough times. But we work together great, and we always believed that Geoff would get us back on track. Just look at his history." 老闆說 "PETRIE像是我的長兄, 就像每個家庭, 都有本難唸的經 但是我們的工作關係始終維持的很好 我們也相信PETRIE會爲我們完成重建 他有著很好的履歷" The good years were wonderful years, of course, the Kings reaching the playoffs in eight of the past 11 seasons, coming within one or two calls of the 2002 NBA Finals, and establishing an international identity. Then came the Chris Webber injury, a series of ill-advised trades and mid-level signings influenced by the Webber injury. There was the unsuccessful commingling of Mike Bibby/Peja Stojakovic/Brad Miller. Then came silence in Arco Arena, alienation within the community, disinterest in the Kings around the globe. 早年國王有著很棒的輝煌年代 過去11年有 8年打進季後賽 被外界認為是一级強隊 然後因為WEBBER的受傷 還有 後續球員交易並不怎麼順利 國王開始沒落 , 球迷開始出走 連台灣的PTT KINGS版有沒幾個人了 All that is changing, though, and sooner than expected. Paul Westphal was an early Christmas present. The Maloofs are energized and engaging the community. There is heavy breathing again in Arco. It all starts with Petrie, with the players, with the moves he makes and intends to initiate in the near future. 現在情況開始改變, 而且比預期的更快 西佛是個提早到來的聖誕禮物 老闆又開始對球隊充滿信心 Arco又開始熱鬧起來了 很大是因為PETRIE的功勞 他短期內的精打細算改造了球隊 Here, though, are two of the most meaningful elements of the Petrie tenure to consider: First, during last season's 17-65 debacle when he was visibly depressed and ailing with a sore foot, he intently prepped for another draft bonanza. Secondly, he had no more intention of abandoning the Kings at their lowest point than he did earlier this decade after twice being named NBA Executive of the Year. (Yes, he received feelers, some from officials in major markets). 兩件事更值得一提的 1: PETRIE 在去年 17-65 難看戰績後 他很沮喪, 同時他的腳也因為受傷不是很舒服 但他同時很早就開始準備選秀相關事宜 2: 別隊大城市有來挖角過好幾次了 去年打的很爛那一季還是有很多人想挖角他 但他都一一拒絕 , 只想待在國王 "You feel a part of the fabric of the organization," Petrie said, elaborating on his decision to root in Sacramento. "You're getting a chance to live a childhood dream, and you're doing it in what has now become your hometown. I would not want to leave on a down note." 成功重建國王的PETRIE說 "感覺我已經變成國王的一部分了, 你在這裡有著一個機會能施展你兒時的抱負 然後國王也慢慢變成我的家鄉的感覺 我不會離開這裡 , 因為這是我的家" --
