https://tinyurl.com/yk6dbe24 Sachin Gupta, executive vice president of basketball operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is set to leave the NBA franchise to take a role at Chelsea. 明尼蘇達灰狼隊籃球事務副總裁 Sachin Gupta 即將前往切爾西擔任新職務。 The 42-year-old has been in that position at the Timberwolves since 2021, having joined them two years earlier to assist in the collective bargaining agreement and team analytics. 42 歲的 Gupta 自2021年起擔任球團該職位，在接任之前已協助球團處理集體 談判協議問題及團隊分析達兩年。 In 2006, Gupta created the “NBA Trade Machine” for ESPN — allowing users to assume the role of a general manager, based on the rules of the collective bargaining agreement, which assess whether player trades are possible under salary restrictions. Gupta 在2006年為 ESPN 創造了「NBA交易機」，讓使用者可以扮演總管的 角色。 The Timberwolves and Chelsea have both been approached for comment by The Athletic. 灰狼隊和切爾西都已接到《The Athletic》的評論請求。 Gupta spent five seasons in the Timberwolves front office, including spending one season as the interim general manager, and he has been an important part of the team’s rise to contention in the Western Conference. He also has worked with the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons during 18 years in the NBA. Gupta 在灰狼隊管理階層工作了五個賽季，包括一年的代理總管，他對球隊 崛起成爭冠勁旅貢獻良多，也在NBA的18年生涯中，與火箭隊、76人隊和活塞 隊合作過。 Gupta climbed the ranks during the strategic and analytics boom that rippled through the league over the last two decades, working for Daryl Morey in Houston and Sam Hinkie in Philadelphia. 在過去二十年來席捲聯盟的戰略和分析熱潮中，Gupta 曾與 Daryl Morey 和 Sam Hinkie 共事過，並逐步晉升。 Gupta came to Minnesota from Detroit to serve as the No. 2 in command under Gersson Rosas. He ushered in a more robust strategy and analytics department with the Timberwolves, building one of the larger staffs in the league. Rosas was abruptly fired just before training camp in 2021, and Gupta was elevated to lead the front office. He provided stability during a chaotic moment and helped lead the Timberwolves to their second playoff appearance in the previous 18 seasons. Gupta 從底特律跳槽到明尼蘇達，在Gersson Rosas的領導下擔任二把手。他 為灰狼隊引入了更強韌的戰略和分析部門，建立了聯盟中規模最大的部門之 一。Rosas 在2021年訓練營前突然被解雇，Gupta 被拔擢為管理層領導。 在混亂時期提供了穩定性，並幫助灰狼隊晉級過去18個賽季中第二次季後 賽。 The Wolves hired Tim Connelly as president of basketball operations in 2022, and Gupta remained on board. The Timberwolves have made the playoffs three straight seasons, an uncommon amount of success for the franchise, including a run to the Western Conference finals last season. 2022年，灰狼隊挖角 Tim Connelly 擔任籃球事務總裁，Gupta 續留。灰狼 隊已連續三個賽季闖入季後賽，這對該隊來說非常難得，其中包括上賽季打 進西區決賽。 Chelsea’s new ownership comprised of private equity firm Clearlake Capital and U.S. billionaire Todd Boehly — a co-owner of the LA Dodgers — has hired a number of new staff as part of a wide-ranging revamp of the club since taking over in 2022. 切爾西的新東家由私募股權公司 Clearlake Capital，以及美國億萬富翁同 時也是道奇隊的共同所有人 Todd Boehly組成。自 2022 年接管以來，他們 已聘請了多名新員工，作為對俱樂部大刀闊斧改革的一部分。 The team finished 12th in the Premier League in 2022/23 after changing head coach twice during the season before a sixth-place finish last season. They then again parted with a head coach in Mauricio Pochettino, who has gone on to be hired by the USMNT. 這支球隊在 2022-23 賽季在英超聯賽中排名第 12 位，季中兩度更換主帥後 ，在上賽季以第六名作收。他們隨後再次與主教練，即將執掌美國男足的 Mauricio Pochettino分道揚鑣。 Chelsea, which has seven points from their opening four Premier League matches of the campaign, are next in action on Saturday with an away match against West Ham United. 切爾西在英超聯賽本賽季的前四場取得 7 分，接下來的比賽是週六客場對陣 西漢姆聯隊。 --- Gupta跨界跳槽，祝福他未來發展順利。 球隊文化在過去幾季慢慢朝著好的方向轉變， 希望他在管理層留下的資產也能持續累積。 --
