If only the Kings' coaching search were this transparent.
是否只有國王的尋找教練之旅這麼透明。

While Kenny Natt's successor hasn't been named, the Kings' predraft workouts
continued Monday before a quaint media audience and with Geoff Petrie
undeniably in charge.
新教練還沒找到，測試還是持續進行，理所當然，還是由Petrie親自操刀。

The team's basketball president directed the six players on hand, looking
spry and more than mobile enough to navigate the moving prospects while
evaluating their talents. After visiting seven teams before coming to
Sacramento, the session's uniqueness wasn't lost on Louisville swingman
Terrence Williams.

"It's very unique (to have an executive running a workout), because the GM is
running it like he's an assistant coach or an intern," Williams said.
"(Usually), you see the GMs in a pretty $10,000 suit … twirling their
wedding band around and watching us and having conversation on the side. This
is the first time I'd seen something like that."
「這非常特別(管理階層的人來執行測試)，因為GM就好像助理教練或代理教練一樣。通常
會看到GM們穿著1W元的西裝，在那邊看著我們，然後在場邊談話，這是我第一次看到這種
狀況」Terrence Williams說

Added North Carolina shooting guard Wayne Ellington, who also took part in
the workout: "I think it's definitely unique. Usually you have one of the
assistant coaches running the workout and everybody else is watching, so it
was good. It was hands-on."
北卡的sg Wayne也說「我覺得真的很特別，通常是由助理教練來執行，其他人在旁邊看，
這很棒」

Petrie always has made a habit of running the show, even in summers when he
had a coaching staff. In lieu of such help, he had plenty of assistants on
the floor for the workout that also included Florida point guard Nick
Calathes, Connecticut point guard A.J. Price, Missouri power forward DeMarre
Carroll, and Texas power forward Damion James.
Petrie習慣自己來，就算他有幫手。

There was Shareef Abdur-Rahim, the former Kings forward and assistant coach
last season who will remain with the team in some capacity. There was
director of player development Fat Lever, the team's resident point guard
expert whose 11 NBA seasons included a 1988-89 campaign in which he nearly
averaged a triple double (19.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.9 assists per
game). The usual suspects were on Petrie's periphery, from fellow
front-office types Wayne Cooper and Jason Levien to Kings co-owner Gavin
Maloof, scouts Scotty Stirling and Mike Petrie, and director of player
personnel Jerry Reynolds. There were a dozen or so curious onlookers from the
organization, too.
SAR也在旁邊幫他，還有球員身材指導員和球隊的PG專家，他生涯打了11年nba，平均幾乎
是大三元。旁邊還有制服組的Wayne Cooper和Jason Levien，馬老闆也在，球探Scotty和
Petrie的兒子、Jerry Reynolds。還有一打人在旁邊看。

The talent on hand Monday was unrelated to the team's No. 4 pick but
certainly qualified as possibilities for the No. 23 or No. 31 picks, with
Williams the highest-profile prospect. And while the personable 21-year-old
may be unpleasantly surprised if he's still available at No. 23, he said the
excitement of being drafted at all continues to grow.
禮拜一的這批人也許不會在第四順位被選到，但有可能在23和31順位，Williams是最被看
好的新秀。如果他在23順位還沒被選，也許他不會很開心。

"I talked to my best friend last night, and I remember when we looked at the
calendar and said, 'Man, the draft is 227 days … 18 hours, and 43 minutes
and 22 seconds away, or something like that," Williams said. "You look at it
now, and it's only 18 days or 17 or whatever it is. … It's worth it at the
end of the day when you can wake up on June 25 and be nervous but know that
you can be drafted."
「昨天我跟我最好的朋友說，我記得那時候還看著月曆說「選秀還有227天又18小時43分鐘
22秒，現在卻只剩18天左右」

===============以上都是廢話==========================

On the coaching front, Petrie said a decision between Lakers assistant Kurt
Rambis, former Phoenix and Seattle head coach Paul Westphal and Boston
associate head coach Tom Thibodeau would come "sooner rather than later."
Petrie說教練人選會從Rambis、Westphal、T之中來選，越快越好。

Sources with knowledge of the situation said the team's hypothetical offer
that Westphal already agreed to would apply to Rambis as well: two seasons
guaranteed at $1.5 million with a third-year team option worth $1.75 million.
Incentives were likely in both cases to increase the salary based on the
team's improvement, but it remains unclear whether Rambis, who is believed to
be the front-runner, will accept those terms. It is not known whether those
terms have been discussed with Thibodeau.
球隊提出2年保證約，第三年option，還有激勵獎金。Westphal接受了，不知道Rambis是否
接受。

Petrie said it was "unlikely" any additional candidates would be considered
and that second interviews were "possible, but not something that's being
discussed right now."
Petrie說不太可能再考慮其他的人選。有可能會有第二次面試，但一切都還沒有討論。
