http://www.sacbee.com/voisin/story/1810519.html Geoff Petrie has survived the antics of three teenagers, twice become a grandfather, hired his son and remained on the job longer than any other current NBA general manager/basketball president. 最近PETRIE的本命和三個年輕生命有關 1有了第二個孫子 2雇用了兒子到國王 3成為NBA現役待的最久的GM He is like the cat with nine lives, except that his Kings lifespan is extending into its 16th season. 他就像九命怪貓一樣在國王繼續他的第16個年頭 But with the franchise in a precarious, if potentially transformative position, Petrie, with only a year remaining on a contract that will pay him $4.6 million in 2009-10, is entering the most critical phase of his once-illustrious tenure. He has two chances to get it right – to make the decisions that redirect the franchise into an upward arc – and he has to hit on both. 國王是否還要繼續雇用幫國王渡過最輝煌的時期的PETRIE? 取決於兩件事 The NBA draft in June. 1六月選秀 The next Kings coach, whenever. 2教練雇用 If he misses on either call, selects the wrong player (a guaranteed top-four pick) and fails to hire the right coach for his young, evolving squad, it is almost inconceivable that he will be rewarded with another extension. 選錯球員又選爛教練的話 PETRIE就準備打包回家 The fans are restless and so are the owners, particularly the matriarch. While Petrie continues to wield tremendous clout over co-owners Joe and Gavin Maloof, Colleen Maloof has become increasingly vocal with her frustrations and, according to sources close to the situation, is convinced the team's basketball president holds undue influence over her sons. When Petrie speaks, believes the mother, the sons drink the Kool-Aid. 真的大魔王是JOE MALOOF & GAVIN MALOOF的媽媽 “Colleen Maloof” 她的所作所為也明顯影響到MALOOF的決策當PETRIE說話時 MALOOF兄弟相信正在喝著媽媽給的催眠飲料 PS:什麼是Kool-Aid? http://beardude.com/1455 Given the impulsive, emotional nature of Joe and Gavin, Petrie's tempering personality often has been a tremendous asset. But these are tough times, and the two-time NBA Executive of the Year – who effectively overhauled for former Kings owner Jim Thomas and even more impressively later for the Maloofs – is in the midst of a career-worst slump. The cushion is off the couch in the Petrie suite. PETRIE以往溫和的個性往往能和衝動的MALOOF兄弟互補但是現在國難當頭即使生為兩朝開國元老的PETRIE也面臨了不被信任的危機 His recent reign has been marred by a succession of personnel blunders, some of which bound the franchise in a financial squeeze that is only now beginning to ease: He traded the ailing, diminished Chris Webber, but stuck the club with Kenny Thomas' bloated contract. He persevered with a toxic nucleus of Brad Miller, Peja Stojakovic and Mike Bibby. He signed Shareef Abdur-Rahim despite the forward's bad knees. He overpaid Beno Udrih and, in general, compiled rosters that were flawed and unbalanced, with too many scorers and too few defenders. 錯誤決策他送出的WEBBER的那筆切割交易中 , 直到現在KENNY THOMAS還清不掉而以BM BIBBY PEJA 為首的有毒陣容也沒成功他簽下了有膝傷SAR 當了冤大頭他給了BENO太高的合約收集太多會得分卻不會防守的球員 Petrie's mishandling of the coaching process since Rick Adelman's departure in 2006 – and the Maloofs are culpable here as well – is even more troubling. To counter the owners' desire to hire John Whisenant, the Monarchs general manager who coached the team to the 2005 WNBA championship, Petrie countered with an underwhelming list of candidates and pushed hard for the hiring of Eric Musselman – a disastrous development. 老艾離開國王後 MALOOF兄弟本來屬意帶過WNBA球隊冠軍隊的John Whisenant執教 PETRIE拒絕並找出自己心中理想的人選肌肉男結果怎樣大家都很清楚了 "We didn't talk to enough people," Petrie conceded the other day. PETRIE事後坦承沒有面試過太多教練 Then it was Reggie Theus' turn. Though the Maloofs later lobbied for Theus, Joe and Gavin Maloof were totally infatuated with Larry Brown, the deposed New York Knicks coach who desperately wanted the job and a chance at coaching redemption. But again, revealing his aversion to strong-willed, dynamic individuals, Petrie refused to interview the brilliant, if quirky Brown. 再來是THEUS MALOOF兄弟原本屬意LARRY BROWN當球隊的救贖但PETRIE再次展現他對自我意見太多的教練有所厭惡他沒有跟LARRY BROWN面試過就拒絕了 The list of choices was thus reduced to younger candidates such as Scotty Brooks, Brian Shaw, Kurt Rambis and eventual hire Theus, who claims that Petrie kept one hand on his clipboard and the other on a pink slip. 當時還有一些其他人選如ScottyBrooks(現任雷霆教練), Brian Shaw, Kurt Rambis 但PETRIE最終選了THEUS 妙的是 , THEUS事後說PETRIE對他玩兩手策略一邊稱讚他做的很好 , 一邊暗中解雇他 PS:什麼是Pink slip http://0rz.tw/IByrv The decision to fire Theus barely two months into his second season led to the elevation of interim coach Kenny Natt, who landed with an even louder thud and an 11-47 record. 再來就是THEUS解雇NATT上任後創下11-47的慘烈故事…. So what now? Of course the Maloofs will be involved in the process to some extent. Owners always are. But they swear Petrie has final say this time, and if his tendencies persist, the early list of candidates will include several established and high-profile possibilities – none of whom will be hired. 所以 , 現在呢? 當然老闆會出點意見在所難免但是PETRIE仍然掌握新教練的生殺大權如果照他最新公佈的標準明文規定要有高資歷的NBA教練才能來面試? 告訴你沒有人會買帳 Jeff Van Gundy. Mike Fratello. Bill Laimbeer. All have immense egos and dominant personalities, elements common to elite coaches, and none of which appeals to the introverted Kings boss. Jeff Van Gundy Mike Fratello Bill Laimbeer 全部都是高自尊而且統治慾望很強的傑出教練沒有一個吸引到內向的國王高層因為高層不喜歡這類的 The more likely choice will come from a group that consists, among others, of Eddie Jordan, a former Kings head coach and longtime favorite of Petrie and Pete Carril; Paul Westphal, the former Seattle Sonics and Phoenix Suns coach who also has an affinity for offense; UNLV coach Lon Kruger, a respected teacher whose previous experience as Atlanta Hawks coach resulted in three losing seasons; and possibly Bernie Bickerstaff, a quietly powerful sideline presence. 當然還有一些交情不錯的有可能例如跟國王關係很好的Eddie Jordan 以進攻聞名的前太陽超音速教練 Paul Westphal (帶老巴殺入FINAL過) 還有現役UNLV教練Lon Kruger(以前帶過老鷹但有著三個不怎麼樣的球季) 還有之前提過的Bernie Bickerstaff 好好先生在場邊是個無聲的教練 But this is the critical choice, the seminal Petrie moment, the upcoming NBA draft the lesser concern. 當然選秀方面 PETRIE最罩 Petrie, who has two first-round picks and a second-round choice, has always been exceptional at selecting talent. PETRIE在選秀就真的是專家級的了沒什麼疑問 So before declaring that the end of an era nears, remember that executives can reinvent themselves within months. Sometimes, within hours. Boston's Danny Ainge and the Lakers' Mitch Kupchak once wore dunce caps; last summer they met in the NBA Finals. 凡事要看到最後很多NBA GM也許往往被罵的一文不值但一個成功的個案就足以讓他們扭轉乾坤甚至留名青史看看組成超賽的Danny Ainge 搶劫灰熊的Mitch Kupchak 去年夏天他們所屬的兩隊才剛剛好在FINAL交手過 It's all about the future, the very near future. 不久的將來我們就會知道PETRIE去留的答案 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.224.34.176 ※ 編輯: RonArtest93 來自: 61.224.34.176 (04/27 00:16)
