Angry Lakers owner Jeanie Buss denies LeBron James rumors

湖人老闆Jeanie Buss受訪，談到湖人相關傳聞與本賽季表現。
“Do they have final say? No. Are they running the team? No, no, not at all,”
Buss told The Los Angeles Times about Lakers star LeBron James and his camp at
Klutch Sports.
LBJ和Klutch Sports是否在控制著球隊？
珍妮：他們有最終決定權嗎？沒有。他們在管理球隊嗎？沒有。
“I am controlling owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, I’m held accountable for
every decision that’s made here.”
我是湖人老闆，我為這裡做出的每一個決定負責。
“I’m growing impatient just because we had the fourth-highest payroll in the
league. … When you spend that kind of money on the luxury tax, you expect to
go deep into the playoffs,” said Buss, who admitted she is not happy nor sat
isfied with the current state of the team.
我的耐心越來越少因為我們的薪水是聯盟第四。當你交了這麼多奢侈稅的時候，你希望球
隊能深入季後賽。珍妮承認他對於球隊的現況不開心、不滿意。
“So, yeah, it was gut-wrenching for me to go out on a limb like that and not
get the results that we were looking for.”
所以，是的，球隊沒有得到我們想要的結果，這讓我感到痛苦。
“It’s normal when you have a top player or players you bounce things off of
them, I think that’s smart business,” Buss said about James. “I want him to
feel confident in the team, that we have the pieces to win a championship. He
has to be happy. … I want to make sure that he’s happy.”
當你球隊中有一個或多個頂級的球員時，你會聽取他們的意見。這很正常，這是明智的做
法。我希望LBJ對球隊充滿信心，我們有足夠的實力爭冠。他必須要開心，我想確保他是
開心的。
Buss still believes the Lakers can win another championship with James and Dav
is leading the charge.
珍妮仍然相信湖人可以以LBJ和AD為核心奪冠。
“There’s no reason for me to think we can’t win with them,” she said. “So
mething that I learned from Phil Jackson is that there’s always a path to suc
cess. … Sometimes it might be a little bit harder than other times, … but yo
u have to see the ability.”
沒有理由去相信我們不能再和他們一起贏，我從禪師那裡學到的一點是，成功的道路有時
候會有些艱難，但你必須去看到能力。
Buss expressed that she decided to do the interview after being “in the backg
round for too much” amid the Lakers’ struggles this season — in which the J
ames-led Hall of Fame roster failed to make the play-in tournament, let alone
the playoffs.
在本賽季LBJ帶領著湖人名人堂等級的陣容卻無緣進附加賽後傳出了太多"內幕消息"，珍
妮表示因為這樣他決定站出來受訪。
“Absolutely, if we are not living up to the Lakers standard, absolutely I wil
l look at everything,” she said, later adding, “I will make the hard decisio
ns, because that’s what you have to do.
當然，如果我們沒有達到湖人的標準，我絕對會審視一切，我會做出艱難的決定，因為這
是必須要做的。
“We don’t like to be missing the playoffs, I understand the fans anger and f
rustration. I’ve got to make it better. “This last year was extremely disapp
ointing … it was hugely disappointing. I feel like we let down Laker fans, an
d don’t want to do that again, and we’ve got to get it right.”
我們不喜歡錯過季後賽，我理解球迷們的憤怒和沮喪，我必須讓湖人變得更好。非常令人
失望....我覺得我們讓湖人球迷失望了，不想再重蹈覆轍了，所以我們必須做好來。
