※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： : Even though his Timberwolves finished with just 22 victories, owner Glen : Taylor said Wednesday that, overall, the season was enjoyable for him. 即使灰狼這個球季以22勝作為結束，球隊老闆Taylor在禮拜三說這個球季仍然 令他很"引咎已" : "In most parts, it probably was as I had anticipated," Taylor said. "It very : much was interesting. We started out finding wins very, very difficult. ... I : was hoping that we would do a little bit better. "大部分的時候，這或許已經是我所期待的了" "這非常有趣，我們開始發現贏球 非常非常非常非常.....困難（編按：好吧，原文沒那麼非常），我曾希望我們能 再做得更好一點" : "But it has been an enjoyable experience. I've been very close to the team, : very involved. I can see a lot of good things in this team. Now, it's up to : us, like last year, to work really hard and look at how we can make it better : next year." "但是這成為一個令人享受的經驗。我很接近這隻球隊，讓自己置身其中。我能看見 許多有趣的事情在隊伍中，現在，就要如同去年一般，要忙著讓我們更加努力，並 且看看我們能在明年做得更多" (明年復明年，明年何其多阿，希望今年先抽個狀元郎吧） : Taylor, obviously, didn't measure the season in victories and losses. : "And I don't think a lot of our fans did," he said. "Every game, we threw : young guys out there, night after night. And everybody knows that in the NBA, : it's very difficult to win with young people. There's no doubt about that." Taylor，明顯的並不以今年的勝負來評斷這個球季 "我所想的並不像我們的球迷所想的" 他說 "每場比賽，我們把這些年輕的小伙子丟 在場上，一晚接著一晚，而每個人都知道，在NBA，想要靠著年輕球員來贏得勝利是 很困難的，這毫無疑問。" : The New Orleans and Portland franchises have provided hope for Taylor, he : said. : "They're young; that's the type of thing that we've got to look at as our : example," he said. "I feel pretty good about the long term." 而紐澳良黃蜂跟波特蘭拓荒者則提供了希望給Taylor，他說 "他們是年輕的一群；這是一個我們可以拿來作為榜樣的型態" "長期來看我覺得蠻好的" (感謝kusodirector的訂正） : The Wolves still have $10 million deals for departed Juwan Howard and Troy : Hudson that will take another year to pay off. : "That's one more year of a little bit of a handicap," Taylor said, adding : that it won't be until the 2009-10 season that he'll be able to be a : free-agent spender again. "Money will be freed up a year from now." 灰狼仍然有1千萬要付給離開的Juwan Howard和Trou Hudson在未來的一年 （英語小教室：departed可以翻譯為過往的、離開的，以及死去的 by Dr.eye) "下一年仍然有著小小的阻礙"Taylor這麼說，但也表示到了09-10球季將不會有了， 他可以再次成為一位花錢的大爺。"從現在開始錢將變得能自由使用" : Plans are for Kevin McHale to return to manage the basketball department with : his staff intact. : "One of the things that I feel good about is that we have met as a group : many, many times this year, and everybody has been working together and more : productively to get us ready for the future," Taylor said. "Everybody in the : office is energized. That's good for me, and that's good for Kevin. He's very : excited." 計畫將是McHale和他的全體員工將原封不動的來管理籃球部門 "一件讓我感到很好的事情是今年我們像個團體般開了很多次會，而每個人在一塊工作 也有成效的讓我們對未來有更好的準備"Taylor 說著。"每個人在辦公室裡總是充滿活 力，對我跟McHale來說是件好事，他也很興奮" : Taylor is hoping for what he called "pure luck" in next month's NBA draft : lottery. : "I mean, if we're lucky in the lottery, it's a lot easier to make a : decision," he said. "If we fall back, then there's a group of players and a : lot more studying has to be done about which one you'll take. That's why I : think we have worked so hard this year, so we are prepared for every : scenario." Taylor對下個月將舉行的"純好運"(他自稱的）選秀抽籤抱著希望 "我的意思是說，如果我們在抽籤會上夠幸運的話，這將會使得作決定變成比較簡單 的事情" "如果我們選秀順位往後延了，將有一團的選手和更多的瞭解必須去完成， 來決定你將選擇那一位. 這也是為什麼我想我們今年要如此努力的原因，而我們對於 任的劇本都已經準備好了"（Taylor：灰狼隊準備好了） : The Wolves budgeted to lose about $20 million this season. But, Taylor said : Wednesday, that has been reduced to about $10 million through some dealings. 這一季灰狼的預算損失約兩千萬，但Taylor禮拜三說透過些交涉損失將減少到一千萬 -- 有些部份翻得可能蠻鳥的，還請大家不吝惜指教 另外由於要週末了比較high，所以話多了點 --
