http://0rz.tw/G5239 Kurt Rambis turned down the Kings' head coaching job in June because it didn't pay enough (approximately $1.5 million per year) or provide adequate job security (only two years guaranteed). So now he accepts a Minnesota Timberwolves position that pays more - $2 million per season - and offers better benefits (four years). The major downside for the longtime Lakers assistant, of course, will be the longer flight from his beloved Manhattan Beach home. Rambis之前拒絕當國王的總教練是因為錢太少而且保證年數太少。而Rambis現在去了明尼蘇達，對他唯一的壞處就是要坐更久的飛機回到他家。 Given Phil Jackson's tenuous health, why wouldn't Rambis just wait until Jackson retires - assuming that, as the lead assistant, he would be the heir apparent? Assume nothing, as they say. When I spoke with Rambis' agent, Warren LeGarie, a few weeks ago at the Las Vegas Summer League, LeGarie insisted that his client had no clue what Lakers owner Jerry Buss was planning post-Jackson. More ominously, LeGarie said Buss has never gave Rambis any indication - never mind assurances - that he was the likely successor. 禪師一直有健康上的問題，為什麼Rambis不乾脆等到他退休呢？他的經紀人說，大老闆一直沒有說禪師退休後的計劃，所以也不保證會由Rambis來接。 Rambis apparently just got tired of the wait. He hasn't been a head coach since succeeding Del Harris and guiding the Lakers to a 24-13 record during the lockout-shortened 1999 season. Rambis很明顯厭倦等待了。他自從在99球季接了Harris後就再也沒有當過總教練了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.130.141.241
