On whether it's true he'll be announcing his retirement...

Q:真的要退休了?

"Yeah, I'm about to hang 'em up. I had a great career, I played 12 great
years, longer than anybody imagined, making good money. I think the economy
is the reason why a lot of guys are not playing right now. And I'm the type
of guy who doesn't like sitting around waiting on anything. So I feel like I
have an opportunity to do bigger and better things and pursue that. It's
better than waiting on somebody to wait for somebody to call me and pick me
up.

A:恩  真的  打了12 年NBA  比很多人預期的還久  很夠了  我也賺到錢了



"I'm just sitting here. I'm not doing anything, so I'd rather do something
else. I'm not saying I don't want to play. I feel like I still can play and I
want to play, but it's not the best situation for me right now. I feel like I
don't have to prove myself to anybody. It has just come to a situation where
you have to pick your time to bow out gracefully. I could be like the rest of
these...free agents out there waiting on teams to call them. But at the end
of the day, I feel like if they wanted me to they would've called me over the
summertime. I don't want to be one of those guys who is trying to hang on one
more year or two more years, jumping from team to team.. I've been (traded) a
lot, and it took a great restraint for me, pride-wise, to say, 'You know
what, even though I feel like I can still play, to be like, (shoot) maybe
it's time to hang it up and do something that's good for me and not have to
wait on someone else.

我還能打  不是不能  只是沒必要證明給大家看  我也有其他事想做

這是個比較明智的決定  我不想再換隊了

"It'll be nice to not deal with the questions, whether I can still play or
questioning my toughness or if I'm durable. All those things come into play.
As a player, that's what you get questioned on - 'Do you think he'll want to
play a lot of minutes? Will he be (OK) being a third guard? Is his body going
to hold up?' You hear all those things, and you're thinking, 'Man, if they're
saying that now, what are they going to say next year?'
"I want to be able to say I left on my own terms. I didn't get pushed out.
Even though the economy is still bad. There's a ton of guys getting hurt
right now. I think about that, but I also think about life after basketball.
The 12 years I played won't come close to anything I do after basketball.
That was a great time of life. It's time to go for bigger goals and move
forward."

我不急著賺錢  即使經濟局勢不好

該是家庭重於籃球的時候了

Asked if a good offer to return to the floor came along in the next few
months if he'd pull a Favre and jump right back out of retirement...

Q: 短期如果還有機會會付出嗎?

"Nah, I don't think so, because once I dedicate myself to something and move
past it, I don't move back. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I don't want
to be one of those guys who keeps retiring and comes back out of retirement.
That's just how I feel. You retire for a reason. If I had a chance to win a
ring with one of the top contenders in the game, would I do it? I don't know."

A: NO 除非保證有冠軍戒  再考慮看看

On what his role will be with the Kings...

Q:接下來的打算?

"It's going to be a lot of roles. No. 1, it will be helping in the community
with the players, doing some scouting, all those things come into play. I
thought I really wanted to coach, but I weighed my options and was like,
'Man, being a coach is like being a player.' You've got to travel and do all
the things coaches do. I kind of want to be at home more, spend time with the
kids because they're getting older. Learning from (Kings basketball
president) Geoff (Petrie) and (vice basketball president) Wayne (Cooper), and
trying to become one of the best GMs in the game, that's probably what's on
my mind right now."

A:我會幫助球員  還有就是作球探 我並不想當教練  因為要東奔西跑

  我喜歡居家  我喜歡陪小孩成長

  我會好好跟制服組學習

On his front-office aspirations and the fact that he'd always said he wanted
to coach...

Q: 談談教練跟球探的角色...

"For me, I could do both, but you can't wear two hats in this business as a
coach and a GM...I can't tell you I'll never be a coach, but my main focus is
being in a front office and turning this thing around and finding a solution
for everything."

A: 我也可以當教練啦  但是有規定GM跟教練兩個只能選一個

  現在我比較想當GM  XD

On the scouting aspect and specifically what kind of scouting he planned on
doing...

Q:想在球探方面做什麼?

"I don't know yet. I think that's something me and Geoff have to sit down and
talk about, because we haven't really talked in detail about what they want
me doing. We touched upon it a little bit, but other than that we haven't sat
down and laid out in stone what I'm really going to be doing. Like I said,
I'm going to be wearing a lot of hats, and I'm fine with it. I'm a very
inquisitive guy. I want to know what everybody's job is, what they do, learn
from the best - learn from Geoff, learn from Wayne, learn from (assistant
general manager) Jason (Levien), learn from (director of scouting) Scotty
Sitrling, (director of player personnel) Jerry Reynolds. You learn from all
those (guys) because you never know what sort of position you'll be in down
the road."

A:我是個好奇寶寶  我會跟制服組的每個大頭好好學習

On what the official announcement tomorrow will be like for him...

Q:在退休典禮會說什麼

"You're sad because every player hates for this day to come. Don't get me
wrong. But also, you look ahead to the future and you see that you can walk
away from the game when you wanted to walk away. Everything is in tact. My
family is happy. I don't have to play to get another contract. It's a sad day
but it's also a happy day because I'm still around basketball, I'm retiring
when I wanted to retire, I get to work for an organization and franchise that
I've grown fond of and try to get the community back involved in supporting
the Kings and us getting out and playing the way we're supposed to play and
putting a good product on the court. It's all those things." - Sam Amick


A:我會說 我來的瀟灑去的自在  我的家人很高興我不用再跑下一張合約了

我仍然高興我仍然從事籃球運動  我在國王這個大家庭找到一份新工作

持續爲國王貢獻
