http://0rz.tw/oDl4A Nearly two weeks after NBA owners voted to keep the Kings in Sacramento and the team was sold to Indian software magnate Vivek Ranadive, the reshaping of the franchise appears to be under way. 投票的兩個禮拜後，球隊重整工程將要開始。 According to two people with knowledge of the situation, Ranadive has begun the process of finding a replacement for Kings President Geoff Petrie and is considering San Antonio Spurs President R.C. Buford, Golden State Warriors assistant general manager Travis Schlenk, and Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace. Former Indiana Pacers general manager David Morway may also receive consideration, and Ranadive's internal list is not thought to be limited to this group. The people spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the search. 據熟知內情的人指出，Ranadive已經開始在找接替Petrie的人，包括馬刺的R.C. Buford 勇士的助理總管Travis Schlenk、灰熊的總管Chris Wallace，前溜馬總管David Morway 也可能在名單中，Ranadive的名單不限於在這些人之中。 Ranadive, who was a minority owner of the Warriors until seizing this Sacramento opportunity, is known to be consulting with his Warriors colleagues on the search. That includes Jerry West, a Warriors consultant who worked with Wallace in Memphis and Schlenk at Golden State. Ranadive原本是勇士的小老闆，所以當然都會去問勇士同事的意見，那也就包括了Jerry West，他之前和Wallace在曼菲斯同事過，以及和Schlenk在金城共事過。 Ranadive's focus, as is clear from some of the backgrounds of the people being considered, is on establishing a smart, winning tradition in a small market after the Kings have missed the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. He is likely to assume control of the team later this week, and the deal is expected to close on May 31. Ranadive很明顯就是要找有某些背景的人，意在要在小市場建立聰明且常勝的傳統，國王已經七季沒進季後賽。球隊買賣預計會在5月31正式完成。 Buford, who has been a staple of the Spurs' success since joining the team as a scout in 1994 and becoming general manager in 2002, is unlikely to have interest in the job but would make quite a small-market splash if he could be enticed into a new challenge. Schlenk, who worked under Chuck Daly as an intern in Orlando and Pat Riley as a video coordinator in Miami, moved up the Warriors ranks from assistant coach under Mike Montgomery to scout before he was promoted to assistant general manager nearly two years ago when former agent Bob Myers became general manager. Buford一直是馬刺成功的核心，他從1994年進入馬刺當球探，在02年成為總管，不太可能對這工作有興趣，但如果能夠燃起他的養成魂，說不定會有點機會。 Schlenk在奧蘭多時當Chuck Daly的實習生，在邁阿密時當Pat Riley的影像協調員，之後在Mike Montgomery手下被昇為助理教練，兩年前當Bob Myers成為總管時，他被昇為助理總管。 Wallace, who was hired by the Grizzlies in 2007 after serving as the Boston Celtics general manager under executive director Danny Ainge, built most of the Grizzlies roster that is currently in the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history. Yet with his role drastically minimized after new ownership brought in a new front office in November, Wallace - who has two seasons left on his contract - would surely consider the position. Ranadive is also hoping to speak with Oklahoma City assistant general manager Troy Weaver but it appears unlikely that the Thunder will grant permission once he takes over the team officially. Wallace在07年被灰熊雇用，在那之前他為塞爾提克的總管，目前灰熊的陣容大部分都是他所建立的，但在新團隊帶來新的制服組後，他的角色就被最小化，他的合約還剩兩年，滿有可能會考慮的。 Ranadive同時也希望能夠和雷霆的助理總管Troy Weaver談談，但雷霆應該不太可能允許。 Morway became the Pacers general manager in 2008 under then-president Larry Bird and helped the Pacers build the roster that has them in the Eastern Conference Finals. He was replaced by Kevin Pritchard nearly a year ago. Lastly, and perhaps most intriguing of all, was the mysterious appearance of former Minnesota Timberwolves general manager David Kahn at at a Sacramento rally to celebrate the saving of the team on Thursday. Kahn, who replaced as Timberwolves general manager by Flip Saunders on May 2, was a key figure in the construction of the arena formerly known as the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indiana in 1999 while working on the business side. Morway在08年時成為溜馬總管，也幫助溜馬建立了進入東冠的陣容，但在將近一年前被 KP替代。最後，可能也是最有趣的，就是前灰狼總管Kahn在LLTKR出現了。他被認為是建立 Conseco Fieldhouse的重要功臣。 Petrie, whose contract expires at the end of June, was informed during a Thursday meeting with Ranadive that the new owner would be bringing in his own people once he assumed control of the team. While Petrie will assist during the transition, his league-long tenure that began in 1994 and included eight straight playoff berths and a Western Conference Finals appearance in 2002 will come to an end as expected. The Kings have missed the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. 講Petrie的歷史。 Ranadive is not expected to retain Kings coach Keith Smart, either, but clearly wants to have his new front-office in place before beginning that process. As was reported by USA TODAY Sports on May 17, Warriors assistant coach Michael Malone is held in high regard by Ranadive and would be a strong candidate. Ranadive預計也不會留死馬，不過顯然是要先搞定制服組後再來找總教練。Mike Malone 很受Ranadive的青睞，預計會是個強力人選 ============================================================================== -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 36.231.18.158 ※ 編輯: eliczone 來自: 36.231.18.158 (05/28 09:44)
