關於 Pippen 的動向，Jim Beseda的回覆

我問他關於 Pippen 去留的問題，因為他提到 Pippen 是有可
能去湖人的，對於這一點我感到很奇怪，Jim 的答覆如下:
Price: I think Scottie will consider playing for the Lakers
for a couple reasons. First, he wants a chance to win another
championship. It would seem he will have an beter opportunity
of doing that in Los Angeles than in Portland, unless he believe
that Blazers are only one or two players away from being a serious
contender. Also, Scottie probably would enjoy playing in a more
stable environmen where he knows the team is conducting itself
the way a team is suppose to conduct itself -- on the court, off
the court, in practice -- if it wants to win a championship. In
Portland, Scottie at ti es has criticized the team for its lack
of chemistry and called some of the other players knuckleheads.
Why would he want to stay and be a part of team if he honestly
believes some of the players ar n't dedicated to the team and the
game and to winning a championship the way players on other teams
are? He doesn't have many seasons left. Why waste his time with
a bunch of knuckleheads? Why not g play where he knows the game
is being played right? He says he enjoys playing for Maurice, but
that might just be talk. He wants another championship. He
probably won't get that opportunity if he s ays in Portland. That
is my opinion. Jim
說真的，他講的的確是問題，但我覺得若是 Pippen 靠著到湖人去來拿
他的第七枚戒指，我不會覺得有什麼了不起，那根本就不會是他的球隊
而是OK二人的球隊。
拿了冠軍也很難記上一大筆功勞給他，這跟當年 Drexler去跟 Olajuwon
同隊後再拿一座冠軍的情況不一樣。
目前的湖人的確在小前鋒這一點吃虧，若是 Pippen 過去的確能有幫助
，甚至可以支援控球的角色來彌補 Fisher 的不足，但要我怎麼想像他
穿上湖人的球衣跟 Shaq 和 Kobe 同隊呢??這樣一來過去這幾年他在拓
荒者的努力究竟算什麼??我寧願他就此終老在波特蘭而未再奪冠( 不是
烏鴉嘴，只是比方...)，老巴沒能為鳳凰城摘下冠軍，他的偉大依然得
到鳳凰城球迷的認同，不是嗎?
對小牛第六戰當他上場的那一刻，看到全場球迷為他鼓掌歡呼的場景我
簡直要流下淚來，那是波特蘭這個城市給他最強而有利的支持啊! 假如
他離去後卻是加入過去幾年來波特蘭最痛恨的湖人陣營，反過來要跟拓
荒者對抗，我不知道要怎樣去想像那樣的畫面...那會是我看 NBA 十多
年來最矛盾的畫面!!拓迷們又將情何以堪呢?
我相信 Pippen 不會去湖人的，那樣的冠軍不會是他想要的。
當然，希望 Paul Allen 的整頓真能為拓荒者帶來新氣象!
