從國外討論區看到 http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1012419 Kahn還蠻喜歡寫信的，去年也寫了一封希望暑假能有一些讓狼迷振奮的消息摘要翻譯如下 : Take a deep breath. I wanted to reach out today to let you know that the sky is not falling, despite what you may have read on your computer or in your local daily. Yesterday's draft lottery marked just the beginning of our offseason, which now will be based not on luck but on hard work, preparation and creativity. An offseason that promises to be one of the busiest in our team's history. An offseason in which we will work tirelessly to use the assets that we have so carefully stockpiled. 不幸只抽到第四順位，但球隊才剛要開始有很多工作要做，灰狼今年暑假會相當忙碌。 As of this morning, we sit with not only the fourth overall pick but also Nos. 16 and 23 in the first round, along with two second-rounders. But that is as of this morning: As we demonstrated last June, we will be willing to add picks or try to switch positions if it means adding a player we determine can become a core piece of our ballclub during the next several years. And let's not forget the lesson of Sacramento from last season, which on lottery night slipped three positions, not two, to the fourth pick and drafted Tyreke Evans, who ended up earning this year's Rookie of the Year honors. 我們不僅只擁有第四順位，我們還有第十六和第二十三順位還有兩個第二輪選秀權。會試著透過交易增加選秀權數或和他隊交換選秀權位置來補充新血。別忘了去年樂透抽籤國王隊一舉從狀元籤滑落到最終只抽到第四順位，結果他們選中了新人王 Evans。 We actually are better positioned than most teams to change the ballclub this summer - we are no longer burdened by bad contracts, and in addition to our five draft picks we have additional assets. Millions in cap room, and the rights to two of Europe's best talents in 19-year-old Ricky Rubio and 24-year-old Nikola Pekovic. Ricky has only increased his value by his play in Europe this past season and Pekovic is coveted by many teams and ready to come to the NBA. 在這個暑假，我們較聯盟中其他球隊擁有更多的籌碼與空間來改造我們的隊伍。我們甩掉了一大堆爛約，手上握有今年的五個選秀權，一大堆薪資空間和歐洲兩名最佳球員-- Ricky Rubio 與 Nikola Pekovic 的交涉權。 Meanwhile, our current players are already in the gym working for next season. Kurt Rambis worked one-on-one with Kevin Love twice in Los Angeles this week. Assistant coach Dave Wohl is working with Al Jefferson and Ryan Hollins in Vancouver, B.C., as I write this. 同時，我們的球員已經在體育館中練球為下個球季作準備了。藍教練這星期已經在洛城與凱文愛一對一訓練了兩次，助理教練也正在溫哥華與 Al 與 Hollins 訓練中。 As I promised last year when I joined this franchise, we will not be outworked, outhustled or outprepared. We've cranked up the office coffee machines into overdrive and will be working around the clock to make our team better. Yesterday marks just the beginning - not the end - of our long journey this summer. It's an exciting time to be a Wolves fan and I appreciate you joining our Pack and coming along on the ride.
