Chad Ford interviewed Joe D. yesterday, and you can stream it or download it
as an mp3 here.

Here's a summary.


 [trade deadline]

it's interesting that nothing happened--I had conversations with a minimum of
a half dozen teams
I put some proposals out there, but deals are not easy to do--the money,
personnel, and fit have to be there

對於沒有任何事發生，我也覺得很有趣，
我與至少12隊的球隊談過，我提出了一些交易的可能，
可是總是會有一些條件談不攏，例如金錢與合適活塞的人。

from our standpoint, it wasn't from a lack of trying
getting Webber softens the blow from not making a deal

[is league risk-averse?]

to me, to take a risk is part of doing business, it's something I've never
been afraid to do, once you get used to criticism it doesn't bother you

對我來說，做生意本來就是有風險，
我從來不會畏懼這些，只要你習慣了批評，這根本不會影響你。

[Webber]

I thought he would be good for us, but he's brought even more than I expected
the fact that we can run our entire offense through him has been a huge plus,
and what it has done is allowed us to avoid those long droughts that we would
have in the past
the fact that you have someone you can throw the ball to and have so many
guys cutting off of him and getting layups and easy shots
I thought he was a guy we could throw the ball to and he'd get point and
rebounds, but the fact that we can flow our offense through him has made him
such a big asset for us

我想他對我們是很有用的，不過他給我們帶來的遠遠超過我的期望，
他對我們整體進攻有很大的加分效果，
以前會有一些得分乾旱期，他可以適時的補上。
我們可以把球交給他，其他人可以靠著他得到輕鬆的跳投和上籃，
Webber就是我們可以把球交給他的球員，他也可以得分搶籃板，
他對於我們的進攻有很大的幫助。


I don't think there's anyone out there who's in a better position to know my
team than me, so I know who's going to fit and who's not going to fit
if I make a mistake and I bring a guy in who's not going to fit then I know I
have to get rid of that guy
I'm not just throwing stuff against the wall and hoping it works out--you
have to know your organization, your culture, your system, your environment
that's a part of making decisions about guys like Ben Wallace and not
resigning him this summer, and bringing in guys like Chris Webber
with all due respect, there's nobody out there that knows my organization
better than I do
[Ford: I'll agree with you there]

我想沒有人會比我更了解這支球隊，所以我知道誰是適合這隻球隊的，
如果我犯了個錯帶進了一個不適合的人，那我會想辦法把它弄走。
我不是只是丟些東西給你，而它會變成我想要的，
你必須去了解你的組織，你的系統，你的文化，你的環境，
這也是決定球員去留的一部份，像是大班沒有在暑假得到續約，還有CW4的加入。
沒有冒犯的意思，不過沒有人比我更了解這支球隊。

[Ben Wallace getting booed]

I was surprised--I though they were going to give him a standing ovation

I thought the ovation would be just to say "thank you for what you did" and
once that ball was tossed up, I fully expected them to treat him like an
opponent
the introduction was a time the fans could have said "thank you"

我很驚訝，我以為大班會得到一些歡呼，
我以為會有一些"thank you for what you did"
可是比賽開始，球拋向空中那一剎那，就把他當成敵人了。
開場時是球迷們跟他說聲謝謝的好時機。


I like our team--we're not on this gaudy pace, there's not talk about 70
wins, there's not talk about a cakewalk to the finals, we have the fresh
taste of defeat still with us, and we have guys who are motivated to show
that they can do it--those are the aspects that I like about my team
of course we lost Ben Wallace, but with Webber and the other bigs we probably
have as good a balance as we've ever had--I like where we are right now


我喜歡我們的球隊，we're not on this gaudy pace(不太會翻)，
我們不談論70勝，there's not talk about a cakewalk to the finals，
我們對於失敗的滋味來記憶猶新，我們大夥充滿了幹勁去證明我們可以做到。

[better than last year?]

it's hard to say right that now at the end of February, last year we probably
were like 50-12, so to sit here and say I like it better would be hard to do,
but I think we are in as good or a better position as were last year to have
just as much or more success, because of the defeat that we tasted, because
now you have to come back prove it again and nobody is just placing you in
the finals--those things have a big impact on the team


現在才2月底，這很難講的。
去年的現在我們的戰績是50-12，所以要說我喜歡現在的戰績比去年多一點，
實在有點豪小，不過我想我們現再處於跟去年一樣好的狀態，或更好。
因為我們嚐過了失敗的滋味，我們必須在證明一次，
沒有人把你擺在finals，這些事都是對隊伍有很大的影響。

[Flip to gopherland stories]
I don't know--you have to know how we are here in Detroit about stuff like
that--we always say look, we're going to be a good team, and we love having
Flip here and he's doing a really good job this year
at the end of the year, that's his call what he wants to do
he hasn't said a word to me about it, I haven't said a word to him about it
because it's not my focus
stuff like that comes up and obviously we've gone through something like that
before
for us here, it's really not a big deal

[All-Star in New Orleans]
the will have to have a lot of security there
New Orleans is a lot more spread out than Vegas
in Vegas, everything is right there on the strip
I don't think it's going to be as much as a problem as Vegas

[about Vegas]
I never felt fearful
the issue was just overcrowding
all the other stuff, that's going to be anywhere

[will NBA survive in New Orleans]
that's going to come down to whoever the owner of that team is
it's going to be a challenge, you lost a lot of people and revenue, as you
saw with the Saints, you have to be able to connect with the people and be
willing to stick it out
