NEW YORK, September 26, 2013 -- The New York Knickerbockers announced today that Steve Mills, who previously served as a key executive with the Knicks for 10 years, has been named the team's president and general manager. Mills replaces Glen Grunwald, who will remain with the organization as an advisor. 尼克今天突然宣布，原尼克執行副總裁、總經理GG將下課，接替他的是原麥迪遜廣場花 園(MSG)總裁Steve Mills。 這是繼唐尼-沃爾什、GG之後，尼克隊三年內的第三任總經 理。而GG將繼續留在球隊，以“顧問”的身份繼續幫助尼克。 Mills有著豐富的體育從業經歷，他在體育界20多年，其中有16年的時間都在和NBA打交 道。他在MSG和尼克隊工作多年，2003年，Mills在魔術師約翰遜的推薦下選擇 伊賽亞- 托馬斯作為尼克隊的總經理…… 2009年，他離開MSG，並在隨後與魔術師約翰遜一起創 辦了運動員和藝人財富管理集團。 “I am pleased to be able to welcome Steve back to the Knicks. He is a well-respected sports executive with a strong background in basketball, as well as a familiarity with NBA operations and our company. We look forward to his leadership and believe he is the right person to help us reach our ultimate goal of winning an NBA Championship,” said James Dolan, executive chairman of The Madison Square Garden Company. 在官方聲明中，尼克隊老闆杜蘭說：“我很高興歡迎Steve回到尼克。 他是一位備受尊 敬的體育管理人員，並且有著強大的籃球背景， 他對於NBA和我們公司的運營都非常熟 悉。我們期待他的領導能力，並且相信他是幫助我們達到最終目標—— NBA總冠軍的最 佳人選。” “We are grateful for Glen’s many years of valuable service and pleased that he will remain with the organization.” “我們感謝GG這麼多年富有價值的建議，很高興他能繼續留在球隊。” “I want to thank Jim for this opportunity to return to the Knicks in this important position. It is an honor and a privilege to work for such a storied franchise and I look forward to doing whatever it takes to make the Knicks a successful franchise and a team that fans can be proud of, both now and in the future.” Mills表示：“我要感謝吉姆給我重返尼克隊如此重要職位的機會。 為這樣一家擁有光 輝歷史的球隊工作是我的榮幸，不管是現在還是未來，我期待著傾盡所有，讓尼克變成 一一支成功的球隊，讓球迷們感到自豪。” 另外，《紐約每日新聞報》記者FrankIsola對於這一變動給出了他的解讀：“GG下台了 ，現在，你可以計算他的大學同學武僧的下課倒計時了。” http://bbs.hupu.com/6472819.html 早些時候，尼克隊宣布GG不再擔任球隊總經理，他將出任球隊的顧問。 對此，前尼克隊球員Marcus Camby的經紀人Rick Kaplan也發表了他的看法。 "Glen's firing is absurd and the timing is cruel. Here is a guy that remarkably created a winning atmosphere in one of the most toxic NBA environments today," Kaplan said in an email to ESPNNewYork.com. "He did everything he was asked to do by his owner, and did it with a smile on his face. The only good news is that some lucky team will have Glen fall in its lap and he can finally work for a team that appreciates his enormous talent and class." “GG的解僱是荒誕可笑的，而這個時間是非常殘酷的。這是一個明顯為NBA最毒氣瀰漫 的壞境下創造了贏球氣氛的傢伙。”Kaplan在一封寫給ESPN紐約站的郵件中寫道。 “他做了一切他的老闆要求他做的事情，而且他的臉上總是掛著笑容。唯一的一個好消 息是，其他球隊有機會得到GG，他最終能為一支球隊工作，那支球隊會感謝他那巨大的 天賦和優秀的才能。”Kaplan寫道。 在描述GG時，Kaplan表示GG是一個“非常直率，誠懇和忠實的人。” 目前，尼克隊已經任命Steve Mills為球隊總經理。 http://bbs.hupu.com/6476247.html Several league executives were genuinely shocked at the timing of the move, as was Carmelo Anthony. “I was shocked,’’ Anthony said at a promotional event. “I never heard about it and nobody knew it was coming.’’ 甜瓜對此說了：「我嚇到了，我從來沒聽到任何風聲，沒人知道這會發生。」 http://nypost.com/2013/09/27/agents-execs-rip-knicks-for-absurd-firing-of-gm/ -- ─── ▊ ◣ [[ ◣ =◥" ◢ ． ∵ ◆]] ╱ ▁◥▼ ────────── ▊◢◤ ◣ ◥◥ ▂◤▊ ◥ ▂ ▼◢◤\ ◢▼ ▲Once a Knicks, ▊◤ ▊ ◥◣▊ ◢◤◥ ▊◢◤◢◤◥ ▼‵､ ◥ ◤◢ always a Knicks. ▊◥◣ ▊ ▊ ▊ ★ ▊◣ ◥◣ ─-.╳ ▲◤ ▲ ▊ ◥▎▊ ◤▊ ◥◣ ▊◥◣ ◣◥◣▲ ρ\ `,▼▼ ψsherry821224 ─── ◥ ◥ ◤ ◥ ◥ ◥ ◥▆ ◥ | ◢◢▲ ────────── --
