以下節錄簡單翻譯:
The Los Angeles Clippers will not offer Vinny Del Negro a new contract to
return as coach, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
根據聯盟消息，Vinny Del Negro不會被續約。
Despite considerable success and progress in his two seasons as coach, Del
Negro was unable to withstand a first-round Western Conference loss to the
Memphis Grizzlies and a free agent-to-be superstar, Chris Paul, who wanted a
different coach, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Del Negro did not have a
contract beyond this season.
Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins – who will be a free agent at
season's end – is a candidate for the job, league sources said. Another
possible target, Stan Van Gundy, has said that he plans to sit out next
season. Golden State assistant Mike Malone – who worked with Paul in New
Orleans – could be a candidate too, sources said.
There had been some belief that owner Donald Sterling – who has been fond of
Del Negro – would decide to keep the coach, but ultimately the Clippers
needed to do everything they believed necessary to re-sign Paul in July.
有著還算成功的兩季，但VDN不會被續約。據說快艇老闆是想續約的，而Paul似乎
想要一個不同的教練，快艇必須做足準備以求CP3會續約留在球隊。"
教練位置的潛在競爭者包括合約到期的Lionel Hollins，自己說下個球季還不想當
教練的Stan Van Gundy，以及曾與Paul合作過的Mike Malone
