Ford: What happened after going up 2-0 on the Cavaliers?
Dumars: We lost our edge and Cleveland took advantage of that. They had
incredible efforts from LeBron James, and key guys stepping up and having
great games. So it was a combination of us k
Ford: Your philosophy is a "no-star" approach. Is there something about
having a superstar that is greater than having a great starting five?
Dumars: There's something to having a superstar on your team - when he can
elevate his game and make the other guys better. But we didn't lose the
series because of LeBron James. We lost because of the other guys. You expect
LeBron to have big games, but when the other players have huge games as well,
it makes it really tough.
Ford: Have you ever seen a performance - 29 of his team's last 30 points -
like LeBron's in Game 5?
Dumars: No, not to that degree. Obviously, I played against Michael Jordan
and saw some dominating performances. But not where he scored, basically, 29
of 30 points.
Ford: What was your reaction sitting there watching your team, and watching
LeBron do what he was doing?
Dumars: It was a sickening feeling in my stomach. It's tough to have to sit
there and watch that. It was disappointing that we couldn't stop LeBron.
Ford: Was there any temptation to suit up and give LeBron a couple hard fouls.
Dumars: None whatsoever. I'd last about five seconds and get one hard foul.
(laughs) My mentality is that you don't let that (type of performance)
happen. You have to stop that at all costs, and it didn't happen.
Ford: Is that on Flip Saunders, or is that on the players?
Dumars: That's on everyone down on that bench. I never separate coaches and
players. It's a collective effort, win or lose. Somehow you stop that.
Ford: The Pistons' effort was up and down depending on the scenario. How do
you address that...get back that "eye of the tiger"?
Dumars: The only way I know you do it is by drawing a line. Either you keep
that edge and you continue here, or you keep fluctuating, and I make some
changes. It's not like a really confusing situation to me. Either the guys
that stay here keep that edge or the ones who don't, we're going to move on.
I don't think you have to go to counseling, to sit down with somebody, to
talk about how you get your edge back. Either you step out on the floor and
you have it, or you don't. And if you can't sustain it for two, three, four,
five games in a row, then I know you're not the person for my team because
I'm not going to accept anything less than that. I'm not going to accept this
roller coaster, up-and-down, play good for two good games, lull for two or
three. I have no patience for that, Chad, so I refuse to sit and analyze it
and figure it out and, y'know, send someone to counseling and talk about it.
No, no, no...just show up and play or else.
Ford: What has been the response from the players when you give them this
message?
Dumars: They know I'm a straight-shooter. I'm not going to mince words. They
understand where I'm coming from. When I tell guys that, they just kind of
sit and say "I know you mean business. I understand." It's simple, if you
can't bring that edge every night, you CAN'T play for me here in Detroit.
There's no two ways about it. No hard feelings.
Ford: Was Carlos Delfino an example of what you're looking to do to
inconsistent players?
Dumars: For some players, they're just not going to fit in well here. It was
like that with Darko. And then you move them somewhere else, and they play
more consistently for whatever reason. But I'm not going to take shots at
Delfino. The finances played a role, too, when you look at what we have to do
this summer.
Ford: Any chance that any of the core get moved?
Dumars: I'm not looking to have a fire-sale. But this is the first time I can
say I'd listen to offers, and pull the trigger if it made sense for the
organization. There are no untouchables.
Ford: What about Chauncey Billups?
Dumars: I've said it all along -- it is my top priority to re-sign Chauncey
in the off-season.
Ford: And you don't anticipate anything happening like Ben Wallace, where he
decides he wants to try something different?
Dumars: I think he's in a different place than Ben. I asked him if he wants
to go someplace else, and he knows we want him back. Hopefully when the time
comes, his agent and I can sit down and get something done.
Ford: You've got Amir Johnson, who really had a great season in the NBDL.
What do you see in his future as he is a restricted free agent this summer?
Dumars: If Chauncey Billups is the first priority, Amir Johnson is just
behind him. We want him around, and feel like he can be key piece in our
future going forward. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. We'll do whatever it
takes to make sure he's here for years to come.
Ford: The Pistons have had a mixed history with the draft - when you draft
high, you haven't had luck (Darko Milicic, Mateen Cleaves, Rodney White). But
when you've had lower selections, you've done well (Amir Johnson, Mehmet
Okur).
Dumars: I think that's because there's less risk with the lower selections.
The higher picks are (generally) younger, and you're not quite sure what
you're getting. Lower picks tend to be more established. It's been tough for
higher-pick potential to work out here because we've been such a veteran
team, and they can't get the minutes.
Ford: How does that history play into your thought then with someone like a
Thaddeus Young, the freshman (small forward from Georgia Tech) with super
potential? Do you just say, well, he can't come in here and crack the
rotation?
Dumars: The difference now is that my core guys are not at the beginning of
their prime anymore. Back with Rodney and Darko, they were coming in when my
core guys were getting ready to go on a six-year run. It's a different place
now. So now it's easier to draft those higher-rated guys now.
Ford: So at this point, it's less about experience and more about who you
have rated as the best player?
Dumars: Absolutely. Now that my core guys - a couple of them are hitting
their 30's now - it's easier to draft those younger guys now, those guys like
Amir Johnson, because you need that energy now.
Ford: What does the future of the Pistons look like? Can you maintain that
level of excellence in Detroit next year, and for years to come?
Dumars: I think we can. We're not going to blow up the core of our team. If
we do something major, it could be one of the four guys. But if it's one of
the core, we're going to get a great player in return. What I think you're
going to see is more Jason Maxiell, more Amir Johnson, and more of other
young players. Over the next three years, you'll see an infusion of young
guys while your core is still good. The transition has to take place while
veterans and younger players are on the court at the same time.
Ford: It seems like that's been the secret to the San Antonio Spurs' success
have done with Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili, for example, coming in while
they're still competing, and Gregg Popovich having to weather the storm a
little bit.
Dumars: Exactly. Blowing up a team is so hard to do because it's so hard to
build an elite team. And it's so easy for people to cavalierly say "Oh, just
blow the whole thing up." Are you kidding me? People have no idea how hard it
is to build an elite team. Losing in the conference finals the last two years
was gut-wrenchingly disappointing. But if you blow your team up, there's no
guarantee. You could be sitting here for ten years, Chad, trying to get it
back, saying "Wow, maybe we blew it up a little bit too soon." I'm not
against change; I'll change one of these guys out if I have to. But blowing
the team up? Man, people have no idea what kind of work it takes to build a
team like this.
Ford: Always a great, candid interview. Thanks for coming on the show, and
good luck in the draft next week.
Dumars: Stay in touch, Chad.
看起來重點大概就幾個
1.Delfino的離開不是因為他的表現不夠穩，而是喬總想藉此出清一些薪資空間。
2.喬總表明了這暑假續簽槍蜥是最重要的，其次就是續簽Amir Johnson了。
3.喬總說活塞之前高順位選不好是因為高順位通常會選年輕有天份的球員，而可
惜當時活塞的主力球員都在生涯黃金時期，年輕球員較無上場時間。下季活塞
的情況不一樣了，不少主力球員都年過三十，所以下季年輕球員在活塞應該是
會有發揮的空間。
4.主力球員不是不會動，如果動的話大概四人只會動到一人，那也是要換到很好
的球員才有此可能。
