"He thought this might be a good opportunity for us. He was interested in trading Shaq but would only do it to a team he was interested in going to because he valued his input and through Phoenix would be one of those teams." 邁阿密的老闆 Micky Arison 怎麼開口討論這樁交易的呢? "他想說這對我們可能是個改變的好機會。他想要交易大歐，但要有足夠交易籌碼的球隊才能引起他的興趣，我們剛好是其中之一。" What was your initial reaction? "I was interested from the beginning. I was interested in evaluating it because I felt, having looked at our team's losing record against playoff teams, that we would have a better chance in the playoffs if we addressed our interior defense and team chemistry and roles. I thought if we had an opportunity to help and improve the team, we ought to look at it." 你最初的反應是什麼? "我從最初就很感興趣。因為看看我們對上季後賽隊伍的輸球紀錄，我覺得我們加強內線防守和團隊的化學效應在季後賽會比較有競爭力。我認為如果有機會增強實力，我們應該考慮看看。" Did you share the belief of many that the team wouldn't have won a championship the way it was made up? "Yes, based on our record against (West) playoff teams at the time (5-8)." 你有分享這樣的陣容是無法贏得冠軍的看法嗎? "有，從我們對(西區)季後賽會碰頭的隊伍的對戰記錄(5-8)來看。" What was the turning point of making the deal happen? "The turning point came when Shaq came into town. The trainers felt they could improve his physical condition so he could be effective. At that point, that was the final issue. If he could get back to where he was a couple years ago with his mobility, we felt we'd be a better team. It was more than just passing a physical." 什麼時候是交易發生的轉捩點呢? "轉捩點是在大歐來到鳳凰城後，訓練員覺得他們能夠改善他的身體狀況，讓他更有活力，這不僅僅是通過身體檢查而已。在那時，一切就拍板定案了。如果大歐能夠擁有過去幾年那種活動力，我們會成為一支更好的隊伍。" What did O'Neal say to you when you met him? "He made some big promises up front and he's delivered on them, in terms of his dedication to working out, in terms of how he's helped our teammates, how he's fit into our locker room and in terms of the effort he was going to put in for condition and strengthening. He's delivered. He told me he was going to do whatever he could to make the team better." 大歐和你會面時談了什麼? "他一開始就作出承諾，而且他也實現了諾言。他致力於健身，他幫助隊友，他融入更衣室文化，和他努力的維持身體狀態和強度。他說話算話。他告訴我他會盡一切努力讓球隊變得更好。" Was extending the payroll burden an issue because O'Neal's contract goes through 2009-10, a year more than Shawn Marion's? "That clearly was a negative from the standpoint of flexibility. On the other hand, it continued to lock in our core for this year and the next two years, when we think we've got a good chance at competing for the championship." 大歐的合約到2009-10年才到期，比 Marion 還多一年。增加的薪資負擔會是問題嗎? "這筆交易的確不利於薪資彈性，但是另一方面，我們也綁住今後三年的球隊核心陣容，並且有很大機會衝擊總冠軍。" Is there any financial benefit to having O'Neal for sponsorships, merchandising, season ticket renewals, etc.? "Negligible. We're pretty much running at capacity already. This had nothing to do with revenue. This was about trying to win basketball games." 大歐的加入所產生的廣告效應對於球隊的財務有所助益嗎? "沒什麼差別，我們球迷已經很捧場了。交易不是為了增加球隊收入，目的是為了嬴球。" What do you think of the trade now? "If I had to do this trade all over again, I would definitely do it. I think we are better-suited for the playoffs after the trade. I also think there's a lot of parity. We lost our home-ourt advantage. We're going to be an underdog to win any of the series. It's going to be a tough challenge for us to get to the Finals, let alone win one series. The easiest thing for us to do was to just do nothing." 你現在對交易的看法? "如果整件事重頭再來，我還是會贊成交易。交易過後我認為我們能更適應季後賽打法。我也認為有太多和我們勢均力敵的對手(?)。我們失去了主場優勢。因此在每個系列賽將會先處於下風，因此挺進決賽將是個艱難的挑戰，更別提贏得一整個系列賽。對我們而言什麼都不作，其實反而是最容易。" Why was Steve Kerr initially hesitant about making the trade when you and Mike D'Antoni wanted it all along? "Whether it's coaches or GMs, they get paid a lot of money to make a few big decisions a year. This was an important decision for him. He's a little more conservative. Mike and I are more gamblers and willing to roll the dice. But at the end of the day, everybody came to the same conclusion." 為什麼 Steve Kerr 最初相當猶豫，你和 D'Antoni卻始終贊成交易? "無論是教練或總管，每年他們被賦與大筆薪水去作少數幾個重大決策。對他而言這筆交易就是重大的決定。他是有點過於保守，教練和我比較敢賭，但最終我們都達成相同的結論。" - Paul Coro Shaq-limation process The Suns got off to a rough start with Shaquille O'Neal before returning to winning ways. 太陽在得到大歐後前九場跌跌撞撞的開局和後二十場找到贏球方法的統計數字 Category First nine games Final 20 games Record 3-6 15-5 Suns points/game 107.4 112.0 Opponent points/game 113.2 104.1 Suns field goal pct. 48.7 52.5 Opponent field goal pct. 50.5 44.8 Suns fast-break points 17.2 15.9 Opponent fastbreak points 17.9 12.9 最後附上熱血影片！ Suns 2008 Playoffs Preview - with Shaq http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMgpKuJuzqs
