…希望合約問題快點落幕… Owner Robert Sarver: Phoenix Suns not trying to lowball RFA Eric Bledsoe By Andrew Gilstrap | Aug 1, 2014 | Arizona Sports 原文：http://ppt.cc/bO54 (有電台錄音) Sarver was asked Friday if he thought Phoenix's initial offer was fair. Sarver是否認為太陽最初提供的報價是公平的。 "We think it's a fair offer. I think you could argue, you know, I mean some would say it's maybe a little high; some would say it's low," the owner said. "What's fair is important to us, and also important to him -- him and his agent. It's not necessarily us to determine what he thinks is fair; it's him to determine that." 「我們認為這是一個公平的報價，有些人可能認為太高或太低。合理的報價對我 們而言很重要，對Bled與他的經紀人也很重要。這不見得是我們單方面去決定他 所認為的合理報價，這要由他自己決定。」 The owner also said that he's not concerned, at this point, about if the team's relationship with Bledsoe is becoming strained. 老闆不擔心球隊與Bled的關係變得緊張。 "We're a professional organization, and he's a professional player," he said. "And he's a high-character guy. And his agent (Rich Paul), whose main client LeBron, is the utmost competitor and professional." 「我們是一個專業的組織，他也是一位專業的球員，也是一個非常好的人，而他 的經紀人其主要客戶LBJ 也是頂尖的競技者與專業人士。」 "As an organization, we do our 100 percent best to get behind the player and support him as best as possible. And what professional players do, regardless of how their contract works out, when it's time to play, they play as hard as they can -- for themselves, their teammates and for the organization. So what takes place before a contract is signed usually doesn't have a lot of bearing on what takes place after a contract is signed -- when you have a high-character athlete and a high-quality organization." 「作為一個球團，我們在球員身後做到100%最好並且盡最好的可能支持他。不管 合約是如何進行，當上場打球的時間到了，一名職業球員，他們盡他們最大努力 去比賽，為他們自己，為他們的隊友，為球團。因此合約簽屬之前所發生的事與 合約簽屬之後通常沒有太大的關聯──當你有一位高品格的運動員與一個高品質 的組織。」 Sarver then commented on the team's impression with Bledsoe through his first season in the Valley, in which he scored 17.7 points and added 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per contest in 43 appearances. Sarver評論Bled在太陽第一個賽季的印象。43場比賽均場17.7分5.5助攻4.7籃板。 "We like Eric a lot, and I think Eric did well with our organization last year. And I think he enjoys his teammates and his coaches and his organization. And so, from a basketball standpoint, I think it's a good relationship." 「我們非常喜歡Eric，我認為上個賽季的經歷Eric也喜歡我們，我也覺得他喜歡 他的隊友、教練群與組織，因此，從籃球運動的角度來看，我認為這是一個良好 的關係。」 Sarver added that the team didn't try to lowball Bledsoe in their first offer to him because of his restricted status. Sarver補充說，他們沒有因Bled是非限制自由球員的身分而在第一次報價時試圖 虛報低價。 "We think we gave him a fair offer, and (we would) be more than happy to sit down with him and continue to negotiate it. We're happy to do that," he said. 「我們認為我們提供給他一份合理的報價，我們會非常樂意坐下來跟他繼續協商 他的合約，我們會很高興這麼做。」 A Portland Trail Blazers insider recently reported several league sources saying the Suns' relationship with the 6-foot-1 guard is on the verge of being irreparably damaged, but Sarver refused to agree with that forecast. Sarver否定媒體報導太陽與Bled團隊關係破裂的推測。 "I think Eric's a great guy. And he'll be happy here when he gets here, whether that's for one year or for four years or five years," he said. "I think his agent's trying to do the best job he can, too. And I have a pretty good relationship with his agent. It's just part of the process. I wish it would have been resolved earlier, but it is what it is." 「我認為Eric是非常好的人，當他來到太陽時他很開心在這裡，不管他將在這裡 待上一年、四年或五年的時間。我認為他的經紀人盡他可能嘗試做最好的工作， 我跟他的經紀人關係也非常好，這只是過程的一部分。我希望能夠盡早解決，但 該怎樣就只能怎樣。」 The 10-year Suns owner was also asked if he thinks people from Bledsoe's camp are fueling some of the drama surrounding the contract negotiations. Sarver said it's a possibility, but that he's not bothered by it either way. 是否認為Bled團隊助長一點戲劇化環繞在合約談判過程。Sarver說這是一種可能， 但他沒有因此受到干擾，不管是哪種方式。 "I think probably so, but I don't know that that really, at the end of the day, will have any impact on the relationship with Eric and the organization or even with his agent and his organization," he said. "I just think that's just how a lot of this stuff is done. I mean there's so (many) smokescreens ... That part of it doesn't bother me." 「我覺得或許是這樣，但是我不知道在最後那天來臨時真正的結果，會對Eric與 球團的關係甚至是跟他的經紀人與他的組織的關係會產生甚麼影響。……我意思 是有這麼多煙幕…這部分不會干擾到我。」 In closing, the owner also tried to put the whole negotiations process into perspective. "One thing fans have got to remember is: Players, their careers are very short," he said. "And at any given moment, they could be a lot shorter. You don't know. And so, they're trying to maximize what they can make. They're not like movie stars where they can go cut a box office hit when they're 45 or 55 years old like John (Gambadoro) is. They want to maximize what they can make. And that's OK." 「球迷們要記住一件事：球員的職業生涯很短暫，在特定時刻他們會更加短暫， 你無法預知，所以他們嘗試為自己爭取最大利益。他們不像電影明星，當他們在 45歲或55歲時可以從票房取得分成就像John Gambadoro。他們想在他們做得到的 範圍獲得最大利益，這是OK的。」 Phoenix Suns 'swung for the fences' in attempt to sign LeBron James By Craig Grialou | Jul 14, 2014 | Arizona Sports 原文：http://ppt.cc/S2j2 --這篇是Sarver嘗試簽下LBJ 與對於球隊上賽季與之後的發展的相關採訪 能感受到他很高興球隊從低谷爬升，或許讓他有種經歷白手起家的感覺吧-- "But fortunately we've got a lot of good, young players that we're developing and are getting better and better and last year a lot of them had good years. So we kind of swung for the fences and if we couldn't get that then we were going to be a little patient." 「但幸運的我們擁有許多好與年輕的球員，我們正在發展也變得越來越好，而且 有許多球員他們有一個很好的賽季。所以我們奮力一搏（釣大魚），如果我們不 能得到，那麼我們就要有點耐心。」 "We took a big step forward, probably a little faster than I anticipated in terms of our rebuild. You know I think we kind of fast-forwarded it a couple of years," Sarver said of what was a 23-win improvement over the previous season. "So I was extremely pleased and very satisfied." 「我們取得很大的進步，重建過程或許比我預期的有點快，你知道，我覺得我們 像按了快進鍵，所以我非常高興，非常滿意。」 "We really want to put ourselves in a position to build a championship team. We've got a lot of good, young assets. We don't have any bad contracts. We wanted to preserve that," he said. 「我們真的希望將我們帶到一個位置打造一支冠軍球隊。我們擁有許多好與年輕 的資產，我們沒有任何垃圾合約，我們希望一直這樣保持著。」 "The West is difficult, but the weather is good so I'm not moving." 「（季後賽）在西方是很困難，但這裡天氣好所以我不會離開。」 --
