The Sacramento Kings today announced the hiring of Jason Levien to their
Basketball Operations staff as Team General Counsel/Assistant General
Manager, effective December 15, 2008, according to President of Basketball
Operations Geoff Petrie.
Levien's primary responsibilities include drafting and management of players,
coaching and management contracts, assisting in salary cap planning and
analysis and overseeing team compliance with all NBA rules and procedures. He
will also assist in scouting and report directly to Petrie and Vice President
of Basketball Operations Wayne Cooper.

新任助理總管最主要負責的是選秀和球員管理，教練團和管理層合約，協助薪資帽計畫和
分析、監督球隊遵守所有NBA規則和程序。他也將會協助球探部分，而且直接向Petrie和
籃球部副總裁Wayne報告。

Levien, a former NBA player agent, represented more than a dozen NBA players
over the past decade, guiding his clients through their careers which
included navigating the NBA Draft process, free agency and contract
negotiations. His clients included Luol Deng (Chicago Bulls), Udonis Haslem
(Miami Heat) and the Kings' Kevin Martin. In addition to negotiating Martin's
long-term extension with Sacramento in 2007, Levien negotiated the largest
contract in Bulls' history in July 2008.

他之前的豐功偉業，前一篇外電介紹過了。

"Jason brings a breadth of experience and expertise which will enhance the
Kings Organization," explained Petrie. "He is bright, knowledgeable and has
an established network of resources which are valuable."

Petrie的客套話。

Having traveled the globe evaluating basketball talent, Levien represented a
number of international players drafted into the NBA and professional
basketball players in more than 15 countries. He developed a reputation for
finding talented players that were either overlooked or flew under the radar.

他已經遍佈全球去尋球籃球人才，Levien曾經代表過一卡車的國際球員到NBA選秀和職業
球員，總共超過15個國家。他厲害的地方是在沙礫中找到珍珠。

"I've known Geoff Petrie for the better part of a decade and there's nobody
in the basketball world that I respect more than him," said Levien. "Geoff,
combined with what I think of the ownership in the Maloof's, who are
incredible owners, passionate basketball fans and successful business people,
made this opportunity unique and attractive. I'm looking forward to
contributing in any and every way. This team has a lot of young, talented
pieces and to be a part of the future was something that was very attractive
and exciting to me. To go from the agent side of representing players to
being a part of a team and organization is sort of an out of the box move,
but it's something I'm thrilled about."

Levien的客套話。

Levien has also spent time working in politics, including serving as the
speechwriter for the Keynote Address at the 2000 Democratic National
Convention and in The White House.

Levien is a graduate of Pomona College in Claremont, where he was a member of
the basketball team. He served as an editor of the Michigan Law Review while
earning his law degree and master's in public policy from the University of
Michigan. Levien was later awarded a fellowship at Harvard Law School.

經歷介紹，前一篇外電也有。
