[外電] BE Exclusive: Interview with Nate McMillan

[AdamHmc ()]

Blazersedge: Nate, Kevin said a minute ago that during the draft process you
and Tom Penn are the guys telling him to sit on his hands and holding him back
from making moves.  Was there a moment tonight where you had to do that?

KP說到在選秀時，你和Penn告訴他應該按兵不動，今晚確實有這個時機是你必須這樣嗎?

I think, you know, both he and Mr. Allen... what you can end up doing is adding
.... we have A LOT of roster spots.

You can just add youth and youth and youth and youth and fill up your roster
with 5 young guys.  You don't HAVE to do that.

Right now with Sergio not being there we have 5 spots.  Now we add 2 with
Pendergraph and Cunningham so that's 12.  We've got 3 open spots still. We
could have drafted and bought some more picks and added [a total of] 5 guys.

[By not doing acquiring additional picks] you just leave yourself some room if
there's something out there in free agency.

我想你知道的，他和Allen...你最終能做的就是添加球員，我們目前有很多空位。

你可以不斷的加入新秀，直到5個年輕新秀塞滿你的陣容。但你不必這樣做的。

目前Sergio離開了，所以有五個空位，加入了Pendergraph和Cunningham之後，剩三個空位
。我們當然可以繼續選或是買些選秀簽來增加五位球員。

但是按兵不動，你可以為你自己在自由市場上留點空間運作。

Blazersedge: Kevin said he has a "long list" of free agent targets.  Do you
also have a long list of free agent targets in your mind or how wouuld you
quantify it?

KP說他有一串很長的自由球員名單。你也有自己心中鎖定的自由球員名單嗎？

His list is my list.

Pretty much what they do is have a formula and what he has to figure out first
is the cap number.  We will have some guys that we will target.

I'm on the same team with Kevin.

He'll get ready for that.  He knows, we've talked about what we need to do to
improve this team.  So we're on the same page.

他的名單就是我的名單

他們所做的很多事情就是要先計算我們的薪資空間，我們會有我們想鎖定的目標。
我和KP的意見是相同的。

他將準備好動作，他知道，我們過去也討論過如何幫球隊進步，所以我們意見是相同的。

Blazersedge: Previously you've told me you envision turning the Summer League
over to Jerryd Bayless exclusively.  You just drafted a point guard in Patty
Mills. Does that create a conflict or change of plans for Summer Leaglue?

之前你告訴過我想在夏季聯盟給Bayless特別訓練。而你剛又選了一個控衛Mills，這會對
夏季聯盟的計畫有甚麼衝突嗎？

No. The plan is to play Bayless at the one. There will be some times where
Coach Prunty will play Mills and Bayless at the same time but I want Bayless
playing one a majority of summer league.

Mills, for right now, will back him up. I'm sure they will be on the court some
together.  Possibly move Mills off the ball.

不會，計畫就是讓Bayless打控衛。或許會有些時間，助理教練會讓Mills和Bayless同時上
場，但是我想要Bayless在夏季聯盟中擔任重要的角色。

Mills目前都會擔任他的替補。我很確定他們會有時間同時在場上，但可能Mills不會碰到球
。

Blazersedge: Kevin said he expects all three second round picks to play in Las
Vegas. Do you have that same sense?

Kevin說他期待三個二輪的人選都可以打夏季聯盟，你同意嗎？

Yeah, I think that's something we will work on. You get into contract issues
and all of that but yeah we would hope they're ready to go.

We're happy. We're happy. But it doesn't feel that way in this room [laughs]

事的，這是我們目前運作的方向。你得去研究些合約問題，和其他東西，但我們希望他們都
會準備好。

我們很高興，很高興。但在這房間感覺似乎不是這個樣子(笑)。


Blazersedge: Yeah, I was going to say you don't look super happy. You look
exhausted.

恩，我也得說你看起來不是那麼快樂，你看起來累斃了。

Well, I am exhausted.  I am exhausted. It's been a long day.

I guess with what we've done over the last few years, having lottery picks,
having number one picks, it's just been so much excitement that the
expectations are way up here.

[Drafting like this] is a sign we've gotten better. We've improved. Hopefully
we continue to draft like this and not be in that lottery again. That's the
plan. It's a good sign but you wouldn't know it [given the mood in here].
[laughs]

恩，我累斃了，今天超級漫長。

我想過去幾年我們所做的，擁有樂透籤，有狀元簽，感覺起來總是比較刺激一些。今年少了
一些期待。

但這樣的選秀代表我們進步了，希望我們以後也是像這樣選秀，而不是在樂透區裡。這是我
們的計畫。這是好的現象但卻容易被忽略。

Blazersedge: Were you surprised to see Minnesota go point guard, point guard at
picks 5 and 6?

對於灰狼在5、6順位都選控衛有感到訝異嗎？

Yeah, I think a lot of people were. I still feel like there's another move
there.

Well, I don't know which guard but you've got Rubio, you've got Flynn and then
you've got Telfair so you've got 3 small guards. Flynn can't play off the ball.

I just think that there's probably another move somewhere because those are two
guards that a lot of teams wanted. You can use those guys somewhere during the
summer to get a piece or player.

是的，我想很多人也是。我想之後應該還有些動作。

恩，我不確定是哪個球隊，但當你選了Rubio和Flynn又擁有Telfair，你就有三個小控衛。
Flynn甚至不能沒有球在手邊。

我只是想說可能會有些動作，因為那兩個後衛是很多球隊想要的對象。你可以在暑假時用
這些球員交易來其他球員。

Blazersedge: DeJuan Blair was a guy that many thought you guys had interest in.
 You had 3 cracks at him and passed on him 3 times. Were you surprised by how
far he fell (to San Antonio at #37) and was there anything that kept you away
from him?

Blair是很多人認為你們會有興趣的對象，你們卻過水三次。你對於他順位暴跌有感到訝異
嗎? 以及有甚麼原因讓你們跳過他?

We were a bit surprised but we just felt like the guys we had targeted were
there. Those were the guys that we wanted to go with.

我們有點訝異，但我們還是選了我們鎖定的球員，也是我們想要的球員。


Blazersedge: So you had both Jeff Pendergraph and Dante Cunningham above Blair
on your board going into Thursday night?

所以在選秀會上你把Pendergraph和Cunningham排在Blair前面?

We didn't have Blair on our board.

We thought he would be gone.

我們沒有鎖定過Blair，我們認為他會被選走。

Blazersedge: Even at 22?

即使22順位?

We didn't know where Blair would go but the guys we targeted we got.

我們不確定Blair會第幾順位，但是我們拿到我們想要的人。

推 Fernandez05:其實這樣的策略是好的
→ Fernandez05:拿玩FB來說 如果有人跌下來  常理告訴我們跳過他
→ Fernandez05:不過FB跟現實還是差很多拉XD
推 Aldridge:有來測試過有差啊 但是#33不賭可惜了 因為#31已經有選一
推 Fernandez05:我也是覺得33可以選他 但只能說KP採用比較保守的選法
→ Aldridge:Pendergraph當保險了 或是其他歐洲潛力股 或是換成明年的
→ Aldridge:二輪也是操作的方法 我們明年還要給小牛二輪耶 而且我覺
→ Aldridge:的明年的選秀會強於今年 我們人太多了#31#33選的兩人很可
推 knight0123:感覺還蠻像去年的d.jordan一路爆跌
→ Aldridge:能到開季時不會進入球員名單 那就白白浪費兩個二輪前三簽
推 Fernandez05:我覺得Pendergraph會進
→ AdamHmc:Pendergraph會進+1
推 knight0123:會進加1~~~2輪本來就看好他了說!!
推 aliboda1234:沒想到Blair, KP連想都沒想過
推 Aldridge:目前我也看好Pendergraph能進 但是這樣Cunningham就沒啥
→ Aldridge:啥機會了那不如選個歐洲放洋或換成未來二輪或拿來賭Blair
推 Aldridge:而且簽個老將打替補PF或用Tweener扛也是可能的選項之一
推 windsky:Cunningham 6-8/227似乎過瘦？感覺上不會進roster...
→ windsky:#33不賭真的是有點可惜~ Orz
→ sneak: 二輪也是操作的方法 我 https://muxiv.com
