Rondo: Union, not C’s, first http://tinyurl.com/746nann (*除了BBD，塞爾提克球員的立場完全一致，一個比一個強勢......) ------------------------------------ (以下節錄) ※ NEW YORK — Rajon Rondo [stats] spent the morning hours in a Manhattan hotel conference room helping decide the players’ next move in their collective bargaining battle with the NBA. When he emerged from a press conference, at which the union decided it would essentially disband its leadership and file suit against the league, Rondo was asked how difficult it was to go along with the plan considering the Celtics [team stats]’ circumstances. His team’s veteran core is in the twilight of its viability, and there is now the increasingly real possibility Paul Pierce [stats], Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett could lose perhaps their last chance at glory together. 球員工會已經解散，將正式對聯盟提出訴訟。記者會上，RONDO被問到此項決定是否顧及塞爾提克，特別是對PP、RAY和KG來說，本季很可能是三位老將衝擊總冠軍的最後機會。 ※ “It wasn’t an easy decision,” said Rondo, the team’s alternate player representative. “But at the end of the day, you can’t look selfishly when you try to make these decisions. You try to look for the best decision as a whole.” Asked if he was afraid of losing the season, he said, “I ain’t afraid of nothing. “That’s part of the decision we made as a whole. We don’t have any regrets. We’ve just got to stand strong. “I hope there’ll be a season. That’s the plan. We want to play. The fans want to see us play. Right now, it’s a little bump in the road.” Said bump could turn into a costly financial mountain range if the league refuses to come back to the bargaining table and the players do not succeed in court. But it remains a general truth that the players will not be victorious in the court of public opinion. “Right now, we can’t really worry about that,” Rondo said. “We did what was best for us as a unit, as a union. “You’ve got to take yourself out of the equation. I think that’s the biggest thing. We’re a family; we have to stick together. This is a tough time for us. This is something you have to go (through) as far as business negotiations.” RONDO表示做出這個決定很艱難，並非一己之私，是為了整體，他不害怕取消賽季。 *(RONDO在其他外電中表示他會維持身材，不會放鬆自己。 http://tinyurl.com/7b5norv) ※ Pierce is the Celtics’ primary player rep, and this is the second straight meeting to discuss an NBA offer that he’s missed. Billy Hunter, executive director of the union, insisted again that Pierce’s absence was due to the fact he would have to come in from the West Coast. He added that the Celts captain’s push for union decertification is now a moot point as it relates to his relation with the leadership of what will now become a trade association. “It’s the same as last week,” said Hunter, referring to last Tuesday’s players-only session. “But if he’s a member of the decert group, then we’ve already done what he’s seeking to do. So if we were in opposite groups, we no longer are.” Rondo explained he was here for the Celtics players because, “I’m closer. I have things going on in my home that I wasn’t able to come to the last meeting, but I’m closer. Paul and I talked. We feel the same way.” Jeff Green, a restricted free agent, was the other player with Celtics ties here yesterday. “That was unexpected,” said Rondo, “but I’m glad he’s here.” PP身為塞爾提克首席球員代表缺席，RONDO是這次的球隊代表。PP的缺席可能和他在推動解散工會有關，但是Hunter對此只表示PP是住得比較遠不克前來。 Hunter表示身為塞爾提克的隊長，PP推動解散工會會變成事件另外一個焦點，也在勞資談判裡成為球員的強勢主導。如果立場一致，工會的決定就能代表PP，然實則並非如此。 (*但Hunter本人不反對PP解散工會，甚至是贊成的。 http://ken-berger.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/11838893/33198989) RONDO表示他和PP談過這事情，他們的想法和立場是一致的，同時GREEN也出席會議了， RONDO有點驚訝GREEN會來，但是對GREEN的到來感到高興。 # ----------------------------------------- 有生之年，還想看PP拿冠軍...... 隊長，再來一座！ Paul The Truth ~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.43.138.149
