Re: [情報] Barrett談Bayless交易內幕
※ 引述《Iverigma (big 3:Oden-Roy-Aldridge)》之銘言：
: http://mikebarrettsblog.blogspot.com/
: 很晚了沒力翻了
: 基本上就是Bayless是KP心目中第四名的新秀，可是選前對他絕口不提，
: 只狂放煙霧彈（捧Westbrook和Augustin），
: 然後選秀日當天早上語帶玄機的說：『溜馬會選個PG』
: Barrett說：可是他們有Ford了啊？ KP再重複：『溜馬會選個PG』
: 接著KP問他們 要是給他們挑的話 Westbrook/Augustin 會選誰？
: 眾人給出答案後，KP說了一句：『那Bayless你們覺得怎樣？』
: 事後想起來 Barrett 覺得這一切都真相大白了，
: 那些話都透露出 KP 的真正意圖是Bayless，
: KP後來也說他們手上的 mock draft 前15順位完全命中。
: 所以正當我們為了 Augustin 被山貓攔走而失望時，
: war room 裡面『拿下Bayless』的目標仍然照計畫進行著...
: 照Barrett這樣講，似乎是 KP 完全預料到 Bayless 會掉到溜馬的 11 順位，
: 然後事先就談好交易。
: 我覺得雖然我們都超愛KP，但是這篇文章似乎也把他講得太神了吧...
: 我會先持保留態度 明天再看有沒有更多內幕爆料
: 話說回來 如果是這篇講的是真的 那以後聯盟要慎重考慮禁止KP參加選秀XD
After the NBA Draft concluded, Kevin Pritchard told the media the Blazers got
the guy they had, on their draft list, as the fourth-best prospect in the
draft. Forget everything else. KP and company played another game of poker,
and walked away with a stack of chips. And, make no mistake, it was played
beautifully.
在選秀結束之後，KP告訴媒體拓荒者選了球隊心目中第四好的新秀。先不管其他，KP與夥
伴同仁打了一場漂亮的牌，帶著一堆代幣，滿載而歸。
So, how do you land the 4th-best player on the board when you're holding just
the 13th pick in the draft? Smoke and mirrors. Pritchard said this draft will
be remembered as the "smoke screen draft." In other words, it was no mistake
that you never heard the Trail Blazers and Jerryd Bayless in the same
sentence in the weeks leading up to the draft. He never worked out for the
Blazers, was never discussed.
問題是，你要如何在只擁有第13順位的情形下選得第4好的球員呢? 放煙霧彈~~
KP說這次的"煙霧彈選秀"將會因此特色而被記住。換句話說，當你選秀前一週發現拓荒者
與Bayless從未出現在同一個句子中時(意即沒有任何牽扯)，你並沒有錯過什麼，這也並
不是你的錯，因為他根本沒來試訓，也從未引起任何討論。
In our draft-day meeting with Pritchard, he told us one thing several times,
and we didn't really catch on. He said simply that "Indiana will select a
point guard." I replied, "why would they do that when they just traded for
T.J. Ford?" He repeated, "Indiana will select a point guard." I should have
gotten the hint, but didn't.
在選秀當天與KP的選秀會議時，KP不只一次地告訴我們一件事情，那就是"印地安納會
選個控球後衛"；然而，我們當時都不懂其中真意。我(指Barrett)回應:"他們已經交易
來了T.J. Ford，為何還要那麼做?"
KP沒多說什麼，只是再重覆一次"印地安納會選個控球後衛"
我Barrett應該要懂這個暗示的，不過我當時還是狀況外。
After that exchange, Pritchard asked us who we'd pick if we were in charge,
Westbrook or Augustin? After we'd all given our answers, he said, "what about
Jerryd Bayless?" Looking back, as the draft was unfolding, it all began to
make perfect sense. KP also said if he would have been asked for his mock
draft, Thursday morning, it would have been spot on- at least through the
first 15 picks. It would have had to have been, for him to pull off what all
indications say he did.
之後，KP問如果把選秀大任交給我們，我們會怎麼選，Westbrook還是Augustin?
等我們回答完畢之後，KP說"那Bayless如何呢?"
現在選秀結束了再回過頭來看，這一切都非常合情合理。KP又說如果在選秀當天早上
要他把模擬選秀的結果亮出來的話，那麼最精采的地方在於:至少前15順位都料中。
While everyone was hearing the Trail Blazers were going after Augustin, or
Westbrook, Pritchard and owner Paul Allen, were quietly positioning
themselves to grab Bayless. The one x-factor was Charlotte, picking in the
9th spot. We were disappointed when they selected Augustin. Inside the Blazer
war room, everything was unfolding exactly as expected.
就當每個人都知道拓荒者在極力追逐Augustin或Westbrook時，KP與老闆Allen則靜靜地
致力於鎖定Bayless。擁有第九順位的山貓隊是個不可知的變數，他們選了Augustin也讓
我們相當失望。在拓荒者的戰室裡，一切皆如預期的發生了。
After the Blazers picked Brandon Rush at 13, ESPN reported that Rush, Jarrett
Jack and Josh McRoberts had been traded to Indiana, for the rights to Bayless
and former ASU star Ike Diogu. Though we still await official word of the
proposed deal, it looks like KP got his man, and didn't even need to use the
27th pick he had purchased from New Orleans.
就在拓荒者利用13順位選了Brandon Rush之後，ESPN報導了Rush與Jack以及McRoberts被
交易到印地安納，拓荒者則取得Bayless與ASU球星Ike Diogu。儘管我們仍等待正式官方
的交易文案，但一切看起來就像是KP得到了他所要的，而且連我們向黃蜂隊買的27順位
籤都還沒用到哩。
Instead, Portland used the 27th pick to select Kansas' Darrell Arthur, who
slid way down the list. The Blazers then selected Memphis power-forward Joey
Dorsey with the 33rd, but were actually drafting for Houston in that spot.
The Blazers then packaged Arthur and Dorsey, and traded them to the Rockets
for Nicolas Batum, who was taken 25th. Again, they got exactly the guy they
had in mind when they bought the pick from the Hornets. He had a great
pre-draft workout in Portland, but was feared lost when Houston snagged him
at 25.
拓荒者用27順位選了順位下跌極慘的堪大的Arthur，又用了33順位選了曼菲斯大的Dorsey
但之後卻為了得到在25順位就被火箭隊選走的Batum，把上述的球員都打包了。
再一次地，拓荒者又得到了他們想要的球員，而這也是向黃蜂隊購買27順位籤的目的。
Batum在波特蘭的試訓有出色的表現，但火箭用25順位選中他實在是驚險。
The draft started out quietly, and even though everyone was assuming it would
be a calm day for the Trail Blazers, things were going on behind the scenes.
And, nothing surprised the war room in Tualatin. Outwit, outplay, outlast.
Isn't that what they say on Survivor?
選秀平靜地展開，甚至就在每個人都認為這不會是以拓荒者為主角的一天時，桌底下已暗
潮洶湧。然而，在突拉丁(距波特蘭南方13哩的一個城市)的戰室裡，沒有人訝異。因為我
們的總管，不是一直都是這麼睿智、出色、堅忍嗎?
