Monty Williams and Tyronn Lue are both being told to stay away from the
Lakers head coaching job
Monty Williams跟Tyronn Lue都被告知說 不要去接湖人總教練的位置
Last we heard, Rob Pelinka was conducting interviews for the Los Angeles
Lakers prospective head coaching search. He was granted permission to meet
with Philadelphia 76ers assistant Monty Williams and Miami Heat assistant
Juwan Howard, and obviously didn’t it need it for free agent coach Tyronn
Lue.
之前聽到，湖人總管Rob Pelinka正在進行面試湖人教練候選人，他被允許可以與費城76人
助理教練Monty Williams以及邁阿密熱火助理教練Juwan Howard以及不需要球團同意就可
以面試的Tyronn Lue。
Williams and Lue appear to be frontrunners for their own reasons but in each
case, the Lakers might be running into a fairly embarrassing problem: People
close to both former head coaches are being advised to stay away from this
organization given how chaotic things appear to be. So there’s that.
Williams跟Lue似乎是目前最有可能當湖人教練的人選，但是湖人現在面臨到一個很尷尬的
問題：基於湖人現況亂糟糟的狀況下，與這兩個人親近的人都建議他們離湖人球團遠一
點。
During an appearance Wednesday afternoon on ESPN 710 with Mason & Ireland,
Ramona Shelburne said the following about Williams (emphasis mine):
ESPN記者Ramona Shelburne在星期三的ESPN節目裡說到：
“I think Monty’s the favorite, but I don’t know how that interview went
last night. I haven’t heard from either side and it also is a choice for
him. He’s probably in line if Philly opens up. If they lose or if they fall
short, he’d be in line to step in there. His kids are settled there, he’s
done a lot of moving around, so I could see him stay there. And also,
everyone in the league has told him not to take the job.”
「我認為Monty最有機會，但是我不知道他們昨天面試的結果究竟如何。我目前都沒聽到雙
方的說法，而且Monty自己也需要做抉擇。若是費城人開缺，他就可能有機會留下；所以若
是他們季後賽沒走遠，他就有可能可以接教練位置。他的小孩都在那裏，他已經換了很多
地方，所以他可能就會選擇留在費城。而且，每個NBA圈子裡的人都叫他不要接受湖人的工
作。」
Great.
蒸蚌。
Tuesday evening, Jorge Sedano of ESPN said Lue has been given similar advice
from those close to him:
星期二的時候，ESPN記者Jorge Sedano也說Lue也有從身邊好友那接到類似的建議：
“So I told you earlier, and I mentioned this yesterday, that someone I know
that is a mutual friend with Ty Lue, that is a very close friend to Ty Lue,
told me, ‘I told Ty, don’t take the Lakers job. This thing is a mess.’”
「我早些時候說過，我昨天也提到，我跟Lue有個共同的朋友，他跟Lue很親近，他跟我
說，『我告訴Ty，不要接受湖人的工作，這是個爛缺。』」
Great, great.
蒸是蚌。
Honestly, Honestly, it’s hard to contextualize this at all in a way that
doesn’t look outright bad for the Lakers. I could technically say that you
never want to go into an interview appearing desperate and, as such, might
want some of this stuff out there, but this really doesn’t speak well to the
current state of the Lakers organization.
老實說，聽完這些消息，要把他們當作湖人不會有問題真的很困難。從技術層面上來說，
在面試的時候，絕對不可以表現出非你不可的樣子，要保守一些，但是以湖人現在的狀況
來說是不可能的。
The fact of the matter here is either the Lakers really don’t have a good
reputation around the league or they’re truly terrible at managing the
narrative surrounding them.
現在擺在檯面上的狀況，要嘛湖人在聯盟裡就真的是聲名狼藉，不然就是他們在帶輿論風
向上真的很遜。
We’ve seen shot after shot at everyone involved in this “mess.” Rob
Pelinka has taken hits. Jeanie Buss has been criticized in ways she hasn’t
been before. Magic Johnson, maybe the most celebrated Laker of all time,
stepped away rather than face any more of this noise (though there obviously
might be more to this story to come).
可以看到每個跟這個爛缺有關的人都中槍了，Rob Pelink被攻擊，Jeanie Buss也受到前所
未有的批評。而最受愛戴的湖人球員魔術寧可下台也不要再聽到那些外界的聲音。
No matter what direction the Lakers go next, they’ll have to repair either
their reputation or their ability to manage it.
不管湖人要走往哪個方向，他們真的得要好好修補一下他們的名聲，或者要有能力可以處
理外界的評論。
All this could be made moot as soon as either Lue or Williams takes the job
and, as Sedano pointed out, Lue is going to make his own decision. Williams
will, too. In a vacuum, the Lakers gig is still intriguing and it’s only one
of 30 NBA head coaching jobs in the world.
這所有的難堪都可以在Lue或者Williams接受當湖人教練一職後就無關緊要了，但是就如同
Sedano指出，Lue會自己作決定，Williams也是。在不考慮其他外界的因素下，這湖人的工
作還是挺吸引人的，畢竟這世界上只有30個NBA總教練的缺。
The problem is, coaching the Lakers was once seen as the head coaching job.
Running the Lakers was seen as the top job in the NBA if not American
professional sports. But given how things are currently being run, people are
distancing themselves so long as the Lakers refuse to get out of their own
way. Here’s hoping that changes, and quickly.
問題是，曾經執教湖人一度被視為是教練的首選，管理湖人過去被視為是NBA裡最頂尖的位
置。但是看到現在湖人的管理狀況，若是湖人球團還是拒絕改變他們的方式，人們會跟湖
人保持距離。希望湖人會有改變，而且要快。
