Blazers GM Pritchard discusses free agency, training camp, baking a cake
Monday, September 21 | 11:24 a.m.
Portland Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard discussed Friday
during an interview how franchise president Larry Miller's past work with the
Nike Jordan Brand helped the team sign forward Juwan Howard; his thoughts as
the Blazers head into training camp; contract negotiations with forward
LaMarcus Aldridge; and baking a cake. ...
KP談 與Larry Miller的共事、勾勾喬丹牌協助簽約朱王、訓練營、與LMA的磋商
還有.....烤蛋糕XDDD
On how the team pursues free agents and on the acquisition of forward Juwan
Howard:
球隊究竟如何將朱王買到手：
It's different processes for different players. For specifically Juwan,
(franchise president) Larry Miller had dinner with us, with (Blazers coach)
Nate (McMillan) and Juwan, because he already had an existing relationship.
So, we do try to leverage that. (Miller) has got a lot of relationships —
Juwan was part of the (Nike) Jordan Brand, so we definitely brought (Miller)
into that — and I mean that in a good way; I'm not trying to say leverage in
a bad way. What I'm saying is ... we at all cost try to — how do I say this?
— take the business side out as much as we can. And sometimes you can't;
it's just impossible. But build a program, not a franchise, a program,
because there's two different things. A franchise, you know, they're just
cookie cutters. Programs are unique; they have their own sets of value
systems; they have their own processes. And hopefully we've brought some good
processes to this organization. And we all feel very strongly about how we
want to do it. Sometimes it is — I wouldn't say a challenge, but — we all
express our opinions, but we're also good listeners. And I think that's, in
terms of a leadership group, that's what you want. You want to be able to
hear when Larry feels strongly about something. You want to hear when Nate
feels strongly about something. Or Mr. (team owner Paul) Allen.
每個球員都有不同的買進方式。朱王這次我們依然使出我們最擅長的吃飯策略。
而我們也盡可能的利用現有的關係去牽線。Miller就跟朱王有很深的關係，
因為他們都跟勾勾喬丹牌有關係，所以這次吃飯策略Miller也要出席。
當然我們沒有要這麼心機，但又未嘗不是個好方法。我們總是盡可能的嘗試，就
在商言商的立場也是。建立一個方案，而不是使用特權，這是不同的東西。
特權就很俗套，而方案就很特別。但他們各有各的價值;他們也各有不同的進行方式。
而但願我們已經為這組織帶來良好的計畫方案了。我們對我們走的每一步棋都相當
有信心。我們總是表達我們的意見，但我們亦是好得聽眾。我認為這是領導很重要
的條件。你會想要知道Miller、Nate的感受，還有Allen也是。
On his thoughts as the team heads into training camp:
在訓練營中身為球隊頭如何處之：
Each team has its own identity, right? And we stay true to our core values.
But what I always look forward to is how everything plays out. What I do
believe in is this: Is that we've got a great group of young men who are
committed to playing the best basketball that they possibly can play. And
where that takes us, I don't know. I can't speculate on that. What I do know
is, ('The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People' author) Stephen Covey has
that saying, 'Start with end in mind,' right? We know what we want to be,
right? We want to make this community proud of us, and there's a lot of ways
that we can do that. But, if at the end of the year, the community is proud
of us, we know we have done our job. I think we've done it pretty good the
last couple of years. And that's what we strive for every single day.
每個球隊都會有他自己的特性。我們忠於我們的核心價值觀，但我總是期待他能夠
發揮出來。而我相信：我們擁有良好的青春肉體團隊，他們可以彼此競爭成長，
打出最好的籃球。但這會帶來什麼？我也說不準，我無法揣測。而我知道Stephen Covey
（七個高效率人士作者）曾說過：開始的時候在心中看到結果。對不？我們知道我們
想要什麼，我們要讓這個社區以我們為傲，而我們也知道要達成這麼目的有很多方法。
如果這球季結束之後，這社區以我們為傲，我們就知道我們成功了。我認為過去幾年
我們做的非常好。這也是我們每天都想要抓住的。
On using training camp as way to watch roster and depth-chart issues sort
themselves out:
這麼深的陣容的排序問題：
We talked about it as, we had to get the ingredients to bake a cake. And
then, ultimately, you have to put the cake in the oven. I think we're in the
oven stage. Now, you've got to put it in the oven, let it cook for a while,
and then bring it out and see what you got. And we're in that phase.
我們之前就談過這問題了，我們已經有做一個蛋糕的成份了。然後你最終要把蛋糕放進
烤箱烤。我認為我們還在烤的階段。你現在要做的就是，把蛋糕放進去烤一段時間，
然後再拿出來看看烤出來會變成什麼樣子。
On the status of contract negotiations with Aldridge:
跟LMA的磋商呢：
(No change) since we talked last. I mean, we're talking every day. So, we're
going to keep working on it.
還沒有任何的改變，我的意思是我們每天都很努力談論到這麼問題，而我們每天
都努力要完成這項工作。

有些地方有點口語，我盡量把我理解的地方整理打出來，如果有地方理解錯誤
還是指教。
謝謝大家>///<
