Mike D'Antoni seeking team option
http://tinyurl.com/kcuf4nq
During conversations with the Los Angeles Lakers over the past 10 days,
embattled coach Mike D'Antoni has asked them to pick up the team option
on the fourth year of his current contract, sources with knowledge of the
situation told ESPN.com.
知情人士對ESPN表示,D'Antoni過去十天跟湖人球團對話時,希望球團能執行合約第四年的
球隊選擇權.
The motivation for D'Antoni's request is rooted in his desire for the authority
to coach and ensure he won't enter next season as a lame duck whose job
security is undermined by constant speculation about his future, the sources
said.
據了解,D'Antoni的動機在於不希望明年成為跛鴨教練,為了自己的飯碗提心吊膽
The Lakers and D'Antoni have yet to formally meet since exit meetings after
the season, and sources insist no formal decision on his future has been made.
The Orange County Register reported late Friday night on its website that the
Lakers had decided to retain D'Antoni for next season, noting that he has yet
to be informed of the club's decision.
D'Antoni has grown frustrated with the pace of the process, believing each day
that his status remains unresolved further hampers his ability to successfully
perform the job next season, if he is retained.
湖人球團在球季結束的檢討會後就沒有跟D'Antoni正式會面過. OC Register上週五報導
湖人隊將續留D'Antoni一年,但ESPN的消息來源指出到目前為止球團並沒有做出任何決定.
D'Antoni對湖人球團的舉棋不定漸感不滿. 認為再拖下去會影響到他明年帶球隊的表現
D'Antoni is under contract for one more season at $4 million. The Lakers hold
a $4 million team option on him for 2015-16.
Los Angeles went 27-55 this season, its first full campaign under D'Antoni.
The Lakers posted the second-worst winning percentage (.329) in team history,
the worst 82-game record in team history and their lowest win total since the
franchise relocated from Minnesota.
D'Antoni, 62, has posted a 67-87 record since being hired by the Lakers early
in the 2012-13 season to replace Mike Brown.
D'Antoni今年62歲,自從12年球季中接手湖人之後的戰績為67-87. 今年他是第一年帶整年
球隊,戰績27-55,為湖人隊在搬來LA後82場賽季以來最差的戰績. 他明年的合約值4百萬,
而第四年的球隊選擇權同樣為4百萬.
感想:
D'Antoni生涯總教練成績為455-426,去掉04-08四年Steve Nash的全盛時期後他的戰績為
223-330. 一般人明年能當跛鴨就應該知足了,他還真敢要
