[外電] 七六人史上最糟的一天

七六人毀滅者: Harold Katz
Disappointment Day: Harold Katz ruins the 76ers


SB Nation's NBA network has been having a series of network wide themed posts.
Today is Biggest Disappointment Day, which if you've followed this blog for
very long you know is right in our wheel house. Enough of this happy go lucky
"we have a dominant big man" atmosphere, let's get back to negativity with an
inspection of the biggest disappointments in franchise history. Trust me, the
list of potential candidates is long.

SB Nation's NBA network 已經有一整個主題的文章在討論各球隊歷史上最令人失望的一
天,但這篇將會是其中最令人沮喪的一篇文章.如果你有在定期跟隨這個blog的話,
你知道現在發生的情形是七六以來最擅長做的事:惡搞核心球員.人長久我們已經討論過夠
多像是"我們終於有個big man"這種開心的話題,讓我們回到七六人長久以來令人失望的核
心球員交易歷史. 相信我,這個名單非~長~的長.

Due to how recent it is, some would be eager to call Evan Turner a big
disappointment. With a combination of the "what have you done for me lately"
syndrome and his effect on the future of the current team he's bound to be one
of the first names many think of. At Liberty Ballers, we've generally been
supporters of Evan Turner, but even we can't deny that he has been a
disappointment relative to the expectations from when he was drafted. But the
book is not yet finalized on Evan Turner's 76ers career, and there were far
more egregious mistakes in this franchises long history.

由於時間較近,我們急於稱turner為令人失望的球員.在結合"曾經美好,但美夢不在"
症候群以及他對於隊伍未來的影響力不明朗這兩個因素下,使的他成為在眾多令人失望
核心球員候選人第一個被叫出來的名子. 在Liberty Ballers( 七六人球迷部落格)裡,
我們一直以來都是支持他的,但無法否認的是,相對於他的選秀順位,他的表現是令人失
望的. 但他的球員生涯還很長,七六人核心球員的歷史中還有更多更糟糕的錯誤.

If Evan Turner is too recent win the award, another big blunder in franchise
history may be too far in the past for most fans to relate to. The 76ers had
the unfortunate distinction of being the first team to trade a reigning league
MVP when they traded Wilt Chamberlain to the Los Angeles Lakers back in 1968.
Darrall Imhoff and Archie Clark combined barely eclipsed Chamberlain's scoring
output in 1968-1969 and the Lakers would go on to appear in the NBA Finals in 4
of Wilt's 5 seasons with them, finally winning in 1971-1972. Whenever you trade
Wilt Chamberlain it's likely the worst move in franchise history.

如果turner因為他是最近的例子所以贏得最令人失望核心球員的獎項,另外一個七六人在
其核心球員選擇上捅的大婁子可能太過久遠以致球迷們不會馬上聯想到.七六人在1968年
將張大帥交易到湖人隊時不幸的榮登聯盟第一隊將自己球隊當下的MVP交易掉的不榮譽寶
座.在Darrall Imhoff 和 Archie Clark 勉強填上失去張大帥的得分缺口時, 湖人在五
年內有四年闖入總決賽,並在1971~1972年贏得總冠軍. 不論如何,將張大帥交易掉幾乎就
可說是七六人核心球員歷史上最糟的動作.

weren't even born yet much less directly affected by the trade. For that, we
need something a little more recent.

由於這個交易是將近四十年前發生的,許多Liberty Baller的讀者可能甚至還沒出生,以
至於無法直接感受到這個交易的影響力. 所以讓我們來談談更接近近代的事.

The most glaring move, or series of moves, that came to mind when I started
this piece was that disastrous 1986 draft. The 76ers were set. They had an
emerging 23 year old future superstar in Charles Barkley, fresh off a 20 point,
12.8 rebound sophomore season. They had Moses Malone. They had just gone 54-28
and had maneuvered their way into owning the top pick in the draft. And they,
somehow, not only screwed it up but screwed it up in such an epic fashion that
it's almost unfathomable.

在我撰寫這篇文章第一個想到名顯錯誤的球隊動作,或稱之為一連串錯誤的舉動,是那悲
劇的1986年選秀. 七六人那年陣容相當完整, 不只有竄起的23歲未來超級巨星巴爵士,
在新人第二年就拿到了20分12.8籃板, 他們還有 Moses Malone. 那年得到了54-28並且
在球隊操縱下獲得的第一順位的選秀. 但不知為何,球團就是把他搞砸了,而且還用一種
幾乎無法裡解的史詩手段搞砸.

They had their reasoning. They thought Moses Malone was on his last legs. That
after turning 30 he would start to show signs of decline and that they had to
get value for him now. They thought Cliff Robinson and Jeff Ruland, while
neither in the same stratosphere as Moses Malone, were both productive and
young. Robinson had averaged 18.7 points per game the previous year and was
only 26 years old, and Ruland had been very productive over the previous 4
seasons, averaging 22.2 points and 12.3 rebounds one year before being slowed
down by foot injuries.

他們的確有他們的理由, 他們認為Moses Malone 已經有一條腿躺進棺材裡了, 在步入
30歲之後將會透露出衰退的跡象,而他們必須在那之前榨取他最後剩餘的價值. 球團認
為Cliff Robinson 和 Jeff Ruland 年輕並且具有效能,雖然事實上他們都沒有達到跟
Moses Malone同樣的高度.

Then there was the pick. The '86 draft was admittedly weak, but Brad Daugherty
was the clear head of the class and would go on to have a very productive,
albeit injury shortened, career. But they were enamored with Roy Hinson, who
was only 25 years old and had just averaged 19.6 points and 7.8 rebounds. All 3
of them, Robinson, Ruland, and Hinson, were players they could build around.

接下是選秀,那年的選秀是公認的選秀弱年, 但是 Brad Daugherty 很明顯就是當年的龍頭
,也擁有非常有績效,儘管因傷而縮短,的生涯. 但球團放棄了他,轉而追逐年僅25並剛完成
平均得分19.6 籃板7.8的Roy Hinson. 他們將可以圍繞著這三個人( Robinson,
Ruland, Hinson)建築一支球隊.

Or so they thought.

或著說,他們認為可以.

Turns out Moses Malone had more minutes left in his body than Robinson, Ruland,
and Hinson combined. He would go on to have 3 straight 20+/10+ seasons, and two
more very productive years before finally fading. Brad Daugherty, while his
career was cut short due to back problems, similarly played more minutes and
was more productive than Robinson, Ruland, and Hinson combined, much less
Hinson alone. In his short career he would go on to become the Cavaliers all
time leading scorer and rebounder.

但事實上,在 malone身上殘留的時間比他們三個人加起來還多了一分鐘. 他在連續三年
20-10的表現,並維持了非常有效率的兩年後才真正開始衰退. 而Brad Daugherty ,即使
因為背傷而縮短了球員生涯,也還是比上述三人加起來還維持了更常並有效率的時間. 更
不要說只比較Hinson的話了. Hinson如果不被交易,原本可以留在騎士隊並成為球隊歷史
上得分和籃板的領先者.

To put that in perspective, here are the combined scoring averages for the
players during the 4 years after the trades. I took out Ruland's 9.4 points per
game in '86-'87 because he only played in 5 games.

為了更加證明這個論點,以下是上述所有人在交易後四年的平均得分,Ruland 在86~87年
的9.4分被拿掉了,因為他在拿年只打了五場球賽.


             Malone & Daugherty   Robinson, Ruland & Hinson
  Year                          ppg
'86-'87             39.8                     28.7
'87-'88             39.0                     34.3
'88-'89             39.1                     31.1
'89-'90             35.7                      15

But this doesn't really do it justice, as pure scoring numbers rarely do. Take
a look at the total win shares over that 4 year span.

但其實這樣比不太公平,因為純粹比較得分很難真的去判斷一個球員的好壞. 所以來讓我
們看看這四年的 win share 怎麼說.

Year    Malone  Daugherty   Total   Robinson   Ruland  Hinson  Total
86-87   9.4     6           15.4    2.1         0.3     4.5     6.9
87-88   9.2     6.6         15.8    2.6         0       4.5     7.1
88-89   10.7    9.6         20.3    0.3         0       4.4     4.7
89-90   7.7     3.1         10.8    0           0       1.8     1.8
Totals  37      25.3        62.3    5           0.3     15.2    20.5

Moses Malone (37 win shares between '86-'90) and Daugherty (25.3 win shares)
both individually contributed more win shares to their teams than Robinson,
Ruland, and Hinson combined. Those two contributed 3x the total win shares.

Moose Malone 四年winshare 加總 37, Daugherty 也有25.3. 他們兩個分別都比另三
人的"加總"還要高. 而Malone 加上 Daugherty 加起來是其他三個人加總的"三倍"

Only 2 of the players involved in the trades were productive NBA players after
the '89-'90 season: Moses Malone and Brad Daugherty.

在涉入這場交易的所有球員中在89-90球季後還實際擁有績效的球員只有兩人,
就是Malone 跟Daugherty.

But this series isn't supposed to be worst trade ever, or even the worst day
ever. It's biggest disappointments ever. Roy Hinson was obviously a huge
disappointment, never getting back to the success he had in Cleveland and
flamed out after only 8 seasons in the league at the age of 29. Jeff Ruland,
mostly because of his aching feet that was a known condition before the trade
and 76ers brass negligently ignored, was never a productive player again. Both
disappointments.

這一切都不應該如此的悲劇,但實際上就是史上最失敗的交易. Roy Hinson,悲劇一個. 交
易之後再也無法回復到他之前在騎士光輝景象,並且在職業第八年的29歲離開了聯盟.
RuLand 也是悲劇一個並且再也無法回到全盛時期的身手,主要是因為七六人球團輕忽的無
視了他在交易之前就為人所知的腳傷. 這兩人都令人相當的失望.

But the real disappointment comes from Harold Katz, who was running the show at
the time. Not only did his ignorant maneuvering on draft day go terribly wrong,
but he then owned the 76ers through the trading of Charles Barkley, the
selection of Shawn Bradley with the second overall pick, and the selection of
Sharone Wright with the 6th pick.

但真正最令人失望的是主導這一切的人, Harold Katz. 不單單是因為他選秀日的無知手
段徹底的錯誤,而且他還應該為了交易掉巴爵士,用第二順位選了 Shawn Bradly (前面是
webber,後面是penny)還有用第六順位 Sharone Wright 負責.

Harold Katz, and the decision makers he hired at various points beneath him,
killed basketball in this town. He robbed a generation of a dynasty and their
continued blunders left the 76ers in the gutter until Allen Iverson, Pat Croce,
and Larry Brown could resurrect it a decade later.

Harold Katz, 還有在各個時間點下他雇用的管理階層,抹殺了這個城市的籃球. 他奪走
了一整有可能成為王朝的世代,並不斷地犯下失誤將七六人置入困境,直到十年之後,
Iverson, Pat Croce, 還有 Larry Brown 才將這個球隊拯救回來.

After winning a championship during his second season of owning the team,
Harold Katz was the franchises biggest disappointment.

在他擁有球隊的第二年並贏得總冠軍之後, Harold Katz才是這個球隊史上最糟的核心
人物.



心得:前老闆吃大便?
