[情報] 活塞老闆追求Monty的過程
The weekend before Memorial Day, back in Los Angeles, Pistons owner Tom
Gores, general manager Troy Weaver and others in Detroit’s front office held
a meeting to figure out what to do about a coaching vacancy that had been
unsettled for nearly two months. Up to this point, the Pistons’
intentionally slow-played process had led them to close to a dozen
interviewed candidates, according to team sources, with Charles Lee and KevinOllie, both of whom had never been an NBA head coach before, leading the pack
在陣亡將士紀念日的前一周 活塞老闆Tom Gores跟總管Troy Weaver還有其他管理層
在洛杉磯開會討論要怎麼解決已經空了2個月的教練問題，在那個時候，活塞已經面試
了一堆的教練，根據球隊的消息，2名沒擔任過總教練的助理教練Charles Lee跟Kevin
Ollie是新教練位子的領先者
Both Lee, the Milwaukee Bucks’ lead assistant and Ollie, the former UConn
and Overtime Elite coach, had impressed in different ways, per team sources
granted anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the
hiring process. But there was a gut feeling among the collective that the
search needed to continue.
包含Lee這位公鹿首席助教以及Ollie，這位前康乃狄克大學的頂級教練都以不同的
方式讓活塞管理層感到驚艷，這裡的消息都需要匿名的原因是球隊管理層無法公開對招聘過程做評論 但他們的共識是可能還需要繼續找其他人選
That’s when Gores raised the question to the group:
“What if we go back to Monty?”
就在那個時候活塞老闆Gores丟了一個建議給管理層
"如果我們再問Monty一次呢?"
Two weeks prior, Williams, the 2022 NBA Coach of the Year, was fired by the
Phoenix Suns after a Western Conference semifinals exit. Detroit, according
to league sources, immediately checked in with Williams and his
representatives to gauge his interest in its coaching vacancy and, to put it
simply, see if he’d like to meet. Williams, though, had informed the
Pistons, Bucks and other NBA teams interested in hiring him that he was not
ready to commit to coaching next season and was leaning toward taking a year
off, per league sources. The Pistons didn’t make a formal offer to Williams
at that time, multiple sources said.
2週以前，Williams，2022年度教練在二輪輸球後被太陽開除，當時活塞馬上找了Williams問他對於總教練位子的興趣，看看是不是能會面，但當時Willimas告訴活塞公鹿跟其他有興趣的球隊他還沒準備好做出是否下一年繼續執教的保證，並且傾向休息一年，而當時活塞並沒有真的開出報價
This time around, Gores, Weaver and the rest of the Pistons’ front office
decided to not take “no” for an answer and put numbers in front of
Williams, as well as a plan to court and entice him to come help an
up-and-coming squad get to the next level, as he had done with the Suns,
rather than sit out a season. The next day after that collective meeting,
Gores sent a private plane to Phoenix to pick up Williams, per league sources. The 51-year-old coach was in Gores’ California living room that night.
所以在這次Gores,Weaver以及其他活塞管理層決定不讓Williams再說"不"，直接把合約
攤在他面前，還包含球隊的規劃，告訴他球隊希望能幫他帶領一個有前途的球隊成長到下一個層次，就像在他幫太陽做的一樣，而不是休息一年
而在那次團體會面後的隔天，Gores派出了他的私人飛機去接Williams，那天晚上，
這位51歲的教練就在Gores位於加州的住家客廳中
A week later, Williams has agreed to a lucrative deal making him the
highest-paid coach in the NBA. Williams is the winningest coach in the leaguesince 2021, when he helped lead the Suns to the NBA Finals.
一周後 Willams同意了一張大約並讓他成為聯盟最高薪的總教練，Williams是2021年後
勝場數最多的教練，同時也幫助太陽闖進過總冠軍賽
Detroit saw Williams as the perfect fit for its team at this point in time.
Weaver and Williams overlapped in Oklahoma City, and when the door opened forthe Pistons to make a move, Gores, Weaver and company put all of their chips
into the middle of the table.
活塞認為Williams是完美的接班人選，Weaver跟Williams這兩位在雷霆有過交集，所以
當活塞有機會打動他的時候，Gores跟Weaver還有球隊把所有的報價都放上了檯面
During the initial conversations in which Williams told teams, including
Detroit, that he was leaning toward taking next season off — Phoenix owes
him roughly $21 million over the next three years — he did mention that the
Pistons, along with another team, would be a job he’d consider taking if he
were to come back to the sideline next season, per league sources. The heavy
pursuit from Weaver, Arn Tellem and Gores, along with a lucrative commitment
and fondness for Detroit’s young core, ultimately, was too good for Williams
to pass up.
在會面中Williams告知球隊，雖然他在下一個賽季考慮休息(太陽還欠他3年21M的合約)
，但如果他要回來職教，他確實提到活塞跟跟另外一支球隊是讓他考慮的選項，不過最終在Weaver,Arn Tellem跟Gores的熱烈追求，在優渥的條件以及對活塞年輕核心的喜愛下
，這條件讓Williams無法拒絕
On Memorial Day, the day after Williams met Gores at his home, Gores and his
team put a memorandum in front of Williams that laid out loose terms and
other incentives and extras. The two sides agreed to the fundamentals of the
terms, but Williams took a few days to ponder the decision with his family
before making it official, team sources said.
在紀念日當天，Willimas在Gores的家中跟他會面後，Gores跟他的管理層提出了一份簡單的合約，包含激勵獎金還有額外的選項，而雙方對合約的基本條件達成了共識
Williams最後則花了幾天跟家人商量後才做出接任的決定
看的出來是老闆很想要Monty 第一次面試的時候沒講清楚
第二次直接錢砸上去+派私人飛機皆來自家會面 不給拒絕的機會了 用錢跟誠意打動
人心的老闆 直白又乾脆XD
--
有去金門牽手看月亮嗎
這標題有點甲
扯，私人飛機接送…
這消息看起來真的誠意滿滿
想和你看五月的晚霞 六月日落
我原本是想休息的 但誠意($$$$$)實在是太多了
我跟Monty 山盟海誓
活塞老闆追求Money的過程
貼那張圖真的很貼切XD
我本來想休息一年的，但合約實在是太大了
誠意($$$)到位
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4
活塞老闆：我會給他一個他無法拒絕的條件
這算nba版三顧茅廬嗎XD
標題甲上
活塞已經連續請了兩個big name教練，但都沒打出名
堂，確定不找個新人試試看還要找老牌嗎？
How I Met Your Coach
我本來想休息一年的，但合約實在是太大了
真的給太多了 拒絕不了
霸道總裁逼我簽
第一次看起來就口頭問問，第二次直接誠意開滿。
諸葛蒙堤：自董卓已來，豪傑並起.....
Monty在太陽是他第一個總教練職位...
Monty就是年輕教練啊@@
他居然已經晉身被認為是老牌教練了嗎XD
他黃蜂/水鳥帶過拉
可能有人覺得年輕教練要像馬祖拉那樣年輕吧...
但那個其實是年輕過頭 XD
居然有人不知道monty在鵜鶘帶過AD…是我太老還是怎
樣？
年輕教練可能就比較有風險 Monty畢竟體系有打造過穩
喔喔。看了一下10-15y，那也是37-38當教練。真年輕
些 活塞大概也是不想再賭想要穩穩展開吧 我是覺得
這選擇問題不大 Monty問題他們短時間不太可能碰到
我錯了QQ 但他應該也不算老牌教練吧XD
Monty年紀可能不算老，但從最早當助教算起來資歷已
經17、8年了，應該也不是什麼年輕世代
而且這消息看來 活塞有後場主控的確也符合他喜好
不過我記得Monty中間有離開過一陣子就是
除了錢老闆還這麼有誠意
對他球員時期比較知道而已
喔對因為他太太的事他有中斷教職一陣子，所以年資
應該算15年左右
查了一下教練list，好吧..他真的算老了。我錯了
年輕球員為主找有點年資的覺得不錯
不過他風格蠻老派的 管教方式也是 不知道活塞有脾氣
的年輕人多不多
標題甲甲的
年輕球員找資深教練是有好處沒錯，但活塞也已經連
續找了小范、Casey兩位資歷漂亮的教練，也沒打出什
麼
追求教練時都很有誠意 砍教練也不手軟就是
可以連愛將一起帶走嗎
你來活塞，一起活塞
越老賺越多
錢能解決的問題都不是問題
$$$有到 誠意就到了
Show the money
簡單說就是錢真的太香了
這標題甲上
本來給的錢不夠所以想休息 現在錢給夠多了就不累了
他是2021年後勝場最多的教練？？
但也沒辦法了。老闆就是愛這味XDD
錢給的真的夠多那有什麼問題
看標題以為追老婆
我大學同學名言 80%能用錢搞定 剩下20%用更多錢搞定
484有一起去洛杉磯看海
可不可以不要再用追求了@@ 聽著很怪
可以用網羅啊 挖角啊
老闆：月亮代表我的心
教練有買斷機制嗎？不然Monty如果領雙薪超爽的耶
教練一直都有阿 被開本來就薪水照領的
是超爽的阿 不然你以為他為何本來想休息 因為有太陽
薪水可以繼續領 為何他又突然同意執教 因為另一份錢
給他一個無法拒絕的offer~
更多 雙薪又高薪實在太難拒絕了
雙薪算什麼，MB都領過三薪
Monty是不是不太會練中鋒？那我家小智準備死去
休不休息不是重點，實在是太香了......
他會給中鋒空間 能不能打看自己
我很想休息 但錢實在是太多了
我本想拒絕.jpg
有夠盤
小智能養成頓寶也是爽賺吧
Monty有什麼魔力讓巫師老闆這麼哈他
是活塞
原來活塞老闆這麼熱血
年薪12M美元是頂尖教練的價碼
12M/Y 何止頂尖教練價碼... 是 NBA 教練歷史新高。
頂尖教練 6~8M 左右而已，Kerr 9.5M，Pop 11.5M
12M/Y 這價碼是嚇死人的高，還 6 年，很可怕的。
小智短期內能有頓寶的一半都是賺吧
重點是他還領雙薪 所以他實際上領快20M
不用講前面太陽要給的部分，單單這隻合約就很可怕了
那些多年帶同隻球隊的 NBA 名帥都拿不到這價碼。
原來教練被開除 薪水可以繼續領哦...好爽
如果錢不能搞定，就代表錢還不夠多
小智能養成有頓寶能力的4分之1，都算血賺了。
反正教練薪資不算在球隊球員的總薪資內。
我就問 Monty有沒有想過要大聲斥責?
正常火掉教練，一直都要把薪水付完阿，所以之前印象
之前我疼在國王很穩有一說是國王老闆不想再花錢找教
練。 比較好奇是誤督卡那種狀況會不會有合約條款能
直接中止，就不用付後續的費用。
蝦妹一起帶走，拜託
錢錢搬出來誠意很足了
拜託把我塞C2帶進季後賽 蹲到腳麻了啦
浪漫啊~
還是老話一句 智將能養成智寶 活塞戰績再爛連搶三
年狀元 我都不噓Monty XD
結果還是整篇在討論Wiseman 無言
反正不是湖勇的文章下面都還是能戰有老詹跟咖哩啊X
D 討論新總教練培養該隊球員算正常了吧
好色喔
智將應該要滾了 老闆跟monty保證不擺爛 智將沒機會
智將招誰惹誰了，都離開了還要被噴爛，真慘...
1~4號全能替補蝦妹跟著去吧
本斥但大
Monty:把蝦妹先交易來 保底二輪
智殺
預祝活賽氣氛
