大牌的先來： AdrainWojnarowski@wojespn Minnesota Timberwolves EVP of Basketball Operations Sachin Gupta is expected to be promoted to the franchise's interim head of basketball operations, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves are planning to conduct a broader search to find a permanent replacement for Gersson Rosas. Shams Charania@ShamsCharania The Timberwolves are promoting VP Sachin Gupta as the new head of basketball operations, sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski Gupta becomes the first person of Indian-origin to run a basketball organization. Rosas從POBO的職位下台，Sachin Gupta接任副營運總裁(VP) Chris Hine@ChristopherHine Taylor confirming Gupta will take over day to day basketball operations while retaining his executive VP title. Gupta的職稱雖是VP，但實質上負責球隊的運作 Dane Moore@DaneMooreNBA For quite some time now there has been dissension in the Timberwolves front office and organization, sources say.Moving on from Gersson Rosas is not an out of the blue development.In a critical year, with new ownership, the Wolves decided to act now rather than delay. Rosas下台的消息流傳已久，Moore認為是新老闆不喜歡他 Word has been out there for many months that Alex Rodriguez + Marc Lore want to hire a “top 5” executive to run basketball operations. The problem was availability. 新老闆們這幾個月都在尋找「聯盟前五」的新經理人繼任 Amidst the loud rumblings that have been out there about the Timberwolves parting ways with Gersson Rosas, I have never once got the sense that Chris Finch's job is at all in jeopardy. Finch的帥位目前沒問題 Chris Hine@ChristopherHine There has been a building discord between Rosas, the rest of the front office and the organization that has been going on for months, sources said. The team decided to take action now before the season begins instead of letting that discord linger. Rosas引發了各種問題，球隊決定在訓練營前解決 Taylor confirming Gupta will take over day to day basketball operations while retaining his executive VP title. Gupta表現好有機會轉正 接下來是文章方面： Chris Hine(Star Tribune) Growing discord in Timberwolves organization fueled dismissal of Gersson Rosas https://reurl.cc/GbbnEG Even though the statements came from Taylor, sources said Taylor made the call in conjunction with new owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, who are on a path to become controlling owners in2023. 雖然是Taylor下的決定，但也有取得新老闆首肯 Throughout the past few months there has been a growing discord and strained relationships among Rosas, the front office and the rest of the organization, sources said. 過去幾個月Rosas不僅與股東關係緊張，還包含了他的親信 Other parts of the organization got a sense for how the culture on the basketball side was deteriorating at Summer League in Las Vegas last month and that continued over the last few weeks, sources said. 具體來說是在夏聯時問題開始惡化，最近幾週越來越嚴重 Rosas' attitude toward staff and ways of conducting business contributed to the morose atmosphere around the organization, sources said. Rosas對待員工的態度和工作方式讓辦公室的氣氛很糟 When Rosas arrived in Minnesota he preached wanting to build a positive, team-friendly culture. Behind the scenes, however, there was tension the kept building through the last few months, sources said. Rosas上任時宣稱要建立積極、友好的文化，但事實上是相反的 Strained relationships and Gersson Rosas'involvement with a female team employee led to his firing Wednesday, sources said. Rosas和一位球隊內部職員有不正當的男女關係 Shams、Jon： Gersson Rosas and his downfall: Why the Timberwolves fired him just days before training camp https://reurl.cc/r113zN Ownership has listened to a vocal contingent of staffers express concern about the way Rosas conducted his business, sources told The Athletic, and finally came to the conclusion that they could not wait any longer to address the situation. 兩任老闆一起聽了員工們的報告，最後決定馬上讓他走人 Some described Rosas'reign as dysfunctional, with tension rippling through the front office, according to some sources. Rosas與自己的親信關係也不好 Some described Rosas’reign as dysfunctional, with tension rippling through the front office, according to some sources.Outside of it, rival team executives and agents would complain about how Rosas treated relationships and negotiations. The complaints reached as high as the ownership level over the last several weeks, lending a perception of inevitability to the end of Rosas’ tenure. 其他球隊的制服組投訴Rosas的談判和關係，有一些負面的內容甚至已經交給聯盟董事會 If people did not agree with his decisions, as several in the front office did when they objected to his decision to include only light protections on a first-round pick that went to Golden State in the trade that brought Russell to Minnesota, he was confident that he would be validated in the long run. Rosas讓員工超時工作，但在做決策時卻不願意接受員工的意見，例如用太少保護的首輪換DDlo Some of the issues were exacerbated this summer when Rosas and Gupta butted heads over Rosas’ decision to block Gupta from making a lateral move to the Houston Rockets with increased pay, sources said. Rosas said the timing of the request, coming right before the draft and free agency, made it impossible for the Timberwolves to let someone with as much proprietary knowledge of the team’s plans go to a competitor. The tension between Rosas and Gupta only grew later in August when Rosas banished Gupta from the team’s offices and granted him permission to seek employment elsewhere, according to sources. The issue was resolved in early September after ownership got involved and Gupta decided to stay. 之前記者們說要被阻止的跳槽那位親信就是Gupta，Rosas在夏天阻止Gupta加盟火箭領更好的薪水，八月底Gupta被趕出球隊辦公室，並允許他另謀高就。最後這個問題在九月初解決了(應該是新老闆哄的)，Gupta最終決定留下。 Earlier in the year, Rosas drew criticism when then-coach Ryan Saunders was fired immediately after a road game loss in New York and replaced with a hire outside the organization, with no minority candidates or others given a chance to interview for the position. Some were also unhappy with the way Saunders was taken to New York on a road trip only to be fired immediately after the game. The decision to part ways with Zarko Durisic, a beloved longtime scout who had been with the organization for more than two decades, did not sit well with some in the organization either. 球隊內部對解僱小桑、趕走老顧問Zarko Durisic的方式感到不滿，也認為換帥的方式並沒有讓其他教練有面試的機會 Over his two seasons in Minnesota, several player agents privately had issues with Rosas’ negotiating tactics. Rosas had a responsibility to his organization and ownership, but scenarios would arise where representatives expected better treatment. Just this offseason, Rosas reneged during negotiations with restricted free agent Jordan McLaughlin and misled him about his role, according to a source directly involved in the talks. Jordan McLaughlin在續約過程被Rosas承諾球隊地位，但續約後食言了 DarrenWolfson@DWolfsonKSTP Another Timberwolves note gleaned from this crazy day: Highly regarded personnel scouting coordinator Saagar Sarin is expected to take a job with the Kings. Maybe Gupta, if not too late, can work some magic. I hear Sarin is super sharp, very bright future. 一位高級球探Saagar Sarin想要跳槽國王，Gupta想勸回來 They are trying to sell that this is "performance-based." Hogwash. Today is about ongoing dysfunction and something that happened on Saturday that has made many people uncomfortable. Rosas的婚外情在上週六曝光，球隊原本想以建隊成果不好為由開除，但紙包不住火 --------------------------------- 目前一些source內容大概就是這些，Simmons的交易看起來還會再拖一段時間，不過明天Gupta應該有記者會，再看看他會不會明確表示將來的計畫。 --
