[外電] More from Morey - Post Draft and Beyond
I just attended a post draft luncheon held by the Rockets for season ticket
holders. The food was great, but the best part was Daryl Morey spoke to the
group (I'd say about 70-80 people) and took questions about the draft, free
agency, and the team's future. Here's a download, straight from the mouth of
Morey. I took notes and tried to get his answers verbatim.
我剛剛去參加了火箭隊為季票持有者們舉辦的選秀後聚餐....
食物很不錯....
但是讓 Morey 和我們這群人(大約70-80個)談話更讓人開心.....
Morey 回答了不少關於這次選秀的事情....
接下來的自由球員爭奪戰....
以及隊伍未來展望方面的問題....
下面是一個大致的筆記....
我盡量原話記錄下來了.......
- P.Patterson and Hill : I asked Morey to talk about how P.Patterson
projects and to distinguish between him and Hill. In addition to what has
already been reported in the Chron, Morey said P.Patterson has basically
the exact measurements of Al Horford. Morey says that Hill will play the 5 in
Summer league, and that Hill is the same size as 50% of the 5's in the
league. Also, Hill is working out with Yao today.
關於 P.Patterson 和 J.Hill:
我問 Morey P.Patterson 的未來展望怎麼樣以及他和 J.Hill 之間的區別....
除了已經在 Chron 上登出來的那些我們已經知道的東西以外...
Morey 說 P.Patterson 的體測結果和 Al Horford 幾乎一摸一樣...
Morey 說今年夏季聯賽打算讓 J.Hill 打5號位...
而且說聯盟裡有一半的中鋒和 J.Hill 一樣高....
另外, J.Hill 今天正和姚明一起訓練呢...
- All draft picks are viewed with a 4 year window. AB was chosen despite the
glut at guard. DM's view is that rosters change and the best players will
eventually rise to the top. AB did so in 1.5 years, despite a glut when he
first arrived.
對於火箭隊來說, 他們對所有新秀的估價都來自於他們對該球員未來4年所能做貢獻的總
體評估。 A.Brooks 就是因為這個原因才在PG位置爆滿的情況下被選到了。 Morey 認為
一個隊伍的球員會變化, 而且最好(最有潛力)的球員總會打出來的。 -- A.Brooks
剛來的時候PG爆滿, 他花了一年半的時間做到了這點。
- Top of the Draft: Morey revealed that Wall, Favors, Cousins and Turner were
on the top of his board. It sounded like in that order, but not clear. He
said they tried very hard to trade into the top 5, and at times he had to ask
himself if it was really worth all they were offering. Here's where it gets
interesting -- Morey said they got closest with Philly, and it meant Les
Alexander was taking on significant contract obligations with millions of
dollars in salary, IMO - a clear reference to Elton Brand. A couple of hours
before the draft, Philly said no.
Morey 這次選秀認為價值最高的球員:
P.Patterson 是第6....
前5 Morey 提到了4個: Wall, Favors, Cousins 和 Turner....
感覺上 Morey 是這麼排的.....但是不能確定....
Morey 說他花了很多力氣找簽位前五的球隊尋求交易簽位....
他好幾次在心裡質問他自己這些交易得來是否匹配提出的代價....
更有意思的是....
Morey 說他最接近的一個交易是和76人....
也就是說 Alexander 當時準備要多付一大筆工資了....
這顯然是指 E.Brand...
在選秀開始前幾個小時...
76人正式拒絕了.....
- 14/15 from the Rockets board were taken in the top 15 of the draft. (I'm
guessing Sanders was the one that wasn't in our tope 15). Morey said he
talked to several GM's and they said the same thing.
Morey 這次看好的前15個新秀裡....
有14個在前15位被選走了....
Morey 說他和其他幾個GM聯繫過....
其他幾個GM認為也差不多...
(我猜唯一一個例外是 Sanders )
- DM was targeting one player in the top/middle of the 2nd round, but
couldn't get the deal done. I didn't get a chance to ask who it was.
Morey 在二輪前半段的時候有一個目標, 但是他沒能買到選秀權。 我沒找到機會問那
個目標是誰。
- Jordan Hill: The rockets had him as the 12th or 13th guy on their board
last year. He was top 6-7 based on basketball skills/talent, but there were
some concerns about non-basketball issues. DM looked at Rusty Hardin and said
- Rusty (criminal defense lawyer) deals with those issues all the time. Hill
has demonstrated no problems in that area since being drafted. When they
reviewed Hills tape of play in NY, they couldn't figure out why they weren't
playing him. DM talked to a former NY staffer who said Hill looked good in
practice, and didn't know why NY wasn't playing him. (IMO - it was D'antoni).
J.Hill:
火箭去年對他的排位是第12或者第13....
如果光從籃球天賦來看...
他是去年第6或者第7....
但是當時有些非籃球無關的問題讓火箭由擔憂....
Morey 看著 Rusty Hardin (一個刑法律師)說:
Rusty 一天到晚和這類問題打交道....
J.Hill在進入NBA以後這方面表現不錯....
沒再有過這方面的問題....
當他們去年做紐約交易之前看 J.Hill 的影像的時候....
他們完全不能理解為啥他在紐約上不了場....
Morey 問了一個以前的紐約隊內部人士....
人家說 J.Hill 在訓練時現不錯.....
實在不知道為啥紐約就是不肯給他時間....
(D'antoni的問題?)
- Who had a good draft: DM said Presti always does a good job and did so
again. (Presti's name came up several times in response to post draft
conversations and it a P.Patterson ears DM has a fair amount of respect for
Presti and talks to him quite a bit. Like any other industry, I bet there is
an elite tier of GM's that talk to each other). DM liked the Spurs pick, and
wished they wouldn't always somehow come up with a good player, like Blair
last year).
關於哪個GM的選秀很好:
Morey 說 Presti (雷霆GM) 總是選得很好....
他這次又做得很棒....
Morey 提到了好幾次次 Presti....
(差不多跟提到 P.Patterson 的次數一樣多)....
感覺 Morey 相當敬重這個對手而且他們之間估計經常聯繫...
估計像其他的行業一樣....
最棒的一群專業人士總是會互相吸引互相交流的....
Morey 喜歡馬刺的選秀.....
並說他真希望馬刺偶爾也瞎眼一次....
不要每次都選到好球員....
比如說去年的 Blair.....
- How does DM see the West next year: It's going to be tough like always. The
guy is funny - he flat out said, in a hilarious but serious way, hopefully
PHX will take a step back (a clear reference to Amare), the Spurs will
finally get old, and Memphis will screw it up. Dork Elvis is a funny guy and
seems like a good guy to have a beer with. DM said he was talking to Presti
about an increasingly tough Western conference, and Presti said it's going to
be tougher in part b/c the Rockets will be better.
Morey 怎麼看明年的西部:
在西部生存一直都很艱困呀....
Morey 很有意思.....
他用一種開玩笑一樣但帶著認真的語氣說....
希望太陽退步(A.Stoudemire 離隊因素)...
馬刺會越來越老.....
灰熊把事情搞砸...
Dork Elvis(Morey的別名)是個很有趣的小子....
[關於 Dork Elvis 請參考(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_Morey)]
跟他坐在一起喝啤酒聊天似乎很好玩....
Morey 說他和 Presti 也談過這個問題...
Presti說接下來西部會更困難...
因為火箭又會變強了.....
- Chris Bosh: DM made it clear that the Rockets are going after "that guy
that's been talk about but I can't talk about". When asked about the teams
that present the biggest challenge to us in getting Bosh, Morey identified
Chicago, Miami, LA. I wish I could remember, but don't recall if he said NY.
I was struck by the reference to LA, just because of the significance of that
possibility and someone like DM confirming it. Morey referenced the vegas
odds and Houston having as good a shot as any. My friend asked if, today, DM
knew what it would take to get Bosh, and if he could disclose it. Obviously
DM could not disclose it. The hard part was trying to discern whether DM
knows what it would take. Neither my friend nor I could get a clear read from
DM's answer, but my guess is he does.
Chris Bosh:
Morey 很清楚的說....
火箭會去追求那個"大家都在談論但是我不能說他名字"的球員....
當問到現在火箭隊要搞到Bosh的最大競爭對手的時候....
Morey 提到了芝加哥..邁阿密...洛杉磯....
不曉得是否 Morey 有沒有提到紐約....
因為當 Morey 證實湖人有相當可能拿到 Bosh 的時候...
腦袋就混亂了....
Morey 說在維加斯賭場關於Bosh去向的賠率:
火箭隊和其他球隊的賠率一樣....
朋友問 Morey 如果Bosh要來....
要換Bosh需要怎樣的籌碼....
顯然的...
Morey 即使知道要怎樣籌碼他也無法法說出來...
很難去猜測到底需要怎樣的籌碼...
但我跟朋友猜Morey已經準備好了.....
- Free Agency generally: If no bosh trade (which would involve sending out
multiple players), our roster is pretty stacked. We would probably look to
add 1 FA, likely a big. If no FA big, then Hill and Hayes a P.Patterson ear
to be the backup 5's.
其他自由球員方面的情況:
如果最後 Bosh 的交易不成功....(會牽涉到很多球員)
我們的隊伍會蠻擁擠的....
火箭估計會爭取抓一個內線自由球員回來....
如果找不到一個大個子自由球員....
那麼 J.Hill,C.Hayes,P.Patterson看上去就是替補中鋒了
- Rusty Hardin asked about Taylor. DM said Adelman loves taylor and wants to
get him on the court. Adelman thinks Taylor can be a starter, just needs
minutes. This discussion was part of the talk about a crowded/deep roster and
it's hard to get minutes.
Rusty Hardin 問到了 Taylor.......
Morey 說 Adelman 很喜歡 Taylor.....
Adelman 很想給 Taylor 上場的時間......
Adelman 認為 Talor 可以成為一個先發球員........
他只是需要時間.......
這個話題是在大家談論火箭隊球員有多擁擠......
拿到上場時間多困難的時候提到的........
- Yao - he is getting healthy. He is working out with Jordan Hill today. DM
can't comment on Yao's contract situation. He only said that he doesn't
expect Yao to opt out. (With the recent vibes from Les Alexander and DM, I
half expect them to announce an extension if Yao plays a few weeks into the
regular season and there are no setbacks.). The trainer they have for Yao,
out of Arizona somewhere, is having to hold Yao back a lot. They plan to use
Yao 25 mpg to start, and see where that takes us.
-姚明-
姚明正在康復....
他今天正和J.Hill訓練中.....
Morey 按NBA的規定沒法談論姚明的合約狀況....但是他說他估計姚明不會跳出合約...
(從最近的情報來看....如果姚明這個賽季前幾個星期能不出問題....
Les Alexander 和 Morey 就會宣佈和姚明續約了.....)
姚明的訓練師是從Arizona某個地方來的....
他們會很努力的保護姚明....
火箭準備開始的時候給姚明25分鐘時間.....
然後再慢慢看情況決定接下來怎樣做....
- Who benefits most from Yao's return? Off the cuff, DM said scola. Scola had
a great year last year, but DM says Scola struggles to pass out of double
teams (a great observation that many folks here have made).
姚明回來以後誰最受益?
Morey 毫不猶豫的說Scola...
Scola去年有個偉大的一年....
但是 Morey 說他在面對雙人包夾的時候....
傳球還有些問題.....
- DM was asked "How do you feel about our PG's." From his tone, the person
asking the question clearly didn't like our guard combo and wanted to talk
about CP3. DM said Lowry will be back. In a hilarious moment, DM said "Wait,
you don't like our point guard situation. That was the one position I feel
really good about. What do you want, magic johnson?"
有人問 Morey....你對我們的控球後衛感覺怎麼樣....
從提問人的語氣來說.....他很不喜歡火箭的控衛並打算提及CP3....
Morey 先說了Lowry肯定會回來...
然後很好笑的時刻....
Morey 說:哦.....你不喜歡我們的控球後衛配置嗎....
這可是我最感覺最好的一個位置....如果這還不滿意的話.....
你想要誰?.....Magic Johnson 嗎...?
- DM was asked whether he felt other GM's were afraid to deal with him
because of his track record and how his moves all seem to be like magic.
Another funny moment - DM said that those are comments that should be made
about 2 years from now (presumably when his contract is up). He complimented
his staff and the owner for su P.Patterson orting the moves. He also said
let's not congratulate ourselves b/c we're not where we want to and need to
be yet. The work isn't done and this league is about getting elite players.
Morey 被問到其他的隊伍會不會因為他總是找到對火箭有利的交易而不願意和他交易....
Morey 回答你這個問題應該在兩年後( Morey 的合同要到期的時候)再來問....
Morey 稱讚了整個團隊並且對老闆的支持表示讚賞和衷心感謝.....
Morey 也提到現在還不到值得驕傲的時刻....
火箭隊目前還沒有達到我們希望和我們應該達到的目標....
要在NBA裡生存....
還需要拿到頂級球員才成....
- What rockets are the most sought after by other GM's: Yao, then AB, then
Budd, then Ariza.
火箭隊中最讓其他GM想要的球員是誰?
姚明...其次是A.Brooks...然後是C.Budinger...然後是T.Ariza.....
- Lowry and Scola are RFA's and will be back.
Lowry 和 Scola 都是受限自由球員....
他們會留在火箭的.....
=======================================
I think I got most of it down. I hope folks here enjoy. Let me end by saying
that I don't think DM was using that as an o P.Patterson ortunity to spread
false information to other GM's. Also, I thought that he could have been much
more guarded with his answers. On balance, he was very candid. He provided
more detail than I thought he would in some of his answers. He seemed tired
and perhaps let his guard down a bit, given the small audience and it being
just after the draft. In any case, it was an awesome event.
我想我記下了大部分的談話內容...
在這裡非常享受...
我認為D.Morey今天在這裡的談話不是為了混謠其他GM...
我本來認為今天他會更謹慎的發言....
就結果來說今天他讓人感覺很坦率....
他在回答中提供了很多細節...
他看起來非常的累...
所以讓他有點失去了戒心...
