[花邊] Horford:離開賽提主因是JT受傷和財務影響
Al Horford wasn’t planning to leave the Boston Celtics. He was happy there;
his family was settled there after two separate stops and a combined seven
years playing for the storied organization. But Jayson Tatum’s Achilles
injury changed everything for the Celtics. For Horford, it altered the courseof his summer — and the end of his career.
“I think that where Boston was as a team, even though I called them my home
and everything was there for me, they just weren’t in a position to offer me
the opportunity that I wanted,” Horford told The Athletic.
For the 39-year-old Horford, who decided to sign with the Golden State
Warriors in early October instead of coming back for another season with
Boston, the decision was based on several key factors aside from Tatum’s
career-altering injury.
Al Horford原本不打算離開波士頓塞爾蒂克，他在那裡感到快樂，經過兩度效力累計七
年，他的家庭早已在那裡安定下來。但Jayson Tatum的阿基里斯腱傷勢改變了塞爾提克
的一切。對Horford來說，這改變了他夏天的走向以及他職業生涯的尾聲。
「我認為儘管波士頓是我的歸屬，儘管我稱它為我的家，但球隊所處的境地已無法提供
我所渴望的機會。」Horford接受《The Athletic》訪問時坦言。
現年39歲的Horford於十月初決定與金州勇士簽約，而不是回歸波士頓再戰一季，這項決
定除了Tatum這項足以改變職業生涯的傷勢外，還基於幾個關鍵因素。
“There was two things there,” Horford explained. “I think the financial
part was a component, but more than that, it was the winning part of it,
trying to contend for a championship. And I think there was a lot of things
up in the air — and it just felt like they weren’t in the same, that same
vision, obviously, because JT getting hurt, that takes a big toll. So I thinkat that point I really had to — up until then I was staying in Boston the
whole time.”
“I think once that offseason happened and it started to progress, it became
clear to me the team had different priorities,” Horford said. “Obviously,
getting rid of Jrue (Holiday), getting rid of Kristaps (Porzings). And I know it’s all salary stuff, but it was like a domino effect, and it
was tough for me. It was a tough decision, but my wife and I, we prayed aboutit. I knew that it had to be something that was gonna be — that my family
had to be on board with me for us to proceed in something like this. And thatwas it.” The Warriors provided the type of well-run team — and championship
opportunity this season — that made the move smoother, and Horford thought
he would fit within their mix of high-level veterans and younger players
looking to make their own mark. Horford said at his opening news conference
last week that he did not have a relationship with Warriors team leaders
Stephen Curry and Draymond Green before signing with Golden State. But once
it became clear that playing with the Warriors was a possibility, he started
to get a recruiting pitch from both.
Horford解釋：「有兩個關鍵因素。財務部分是其中之一，但更重要的是爭冠機會，能否
真正角逐總冠軍。我認為當時存在太多不確定性，而球隊的規劃顯然與我的目標產生了
分歧，畢竟Tatum的受傷對球隊影響巨大，在那個時間點之前我原本打算留在波士頓，但從
那一刻起我必須重新抉擇。」
「當休賽季開始並持續推進時，我逐漸意識球隊的優先事項已經改變。送走Jure Holiday
和Kristaps Porzingis我知道是薪資考量，但這就像骨牌效應，對我而言相當艱難。」
「這是個痛苦的決定但我和妻子為此祈禱。我知道必須獲得家人支持才能邁出這一步，
而他們確實與我同在。」
勇士隊完善的球隊體系與本賽季的爭冠機會，讓這次轉隊更加順理成章。Horford認為自己
既能融入資深老將的組合，也能協助年輕球員成長。
Horford在上週的加盟記者會透露，簽約前他與勇士Steph Curry、Draymond Green並無私
交，但當加盟勇士出現可能性時，兩人立即展開招募行動。
“Yeah, I had communication with them, with Steph and Draymond,” Horford
said. “And that was important. It happened very fast because it was at a
point where they came to me and they’re like, ‘Hey, we’d love to have you,
’ and all these things. And it was one of these things that, for me, looking
at this fit and the potential, it just felt right. So them reaching out to mewas important.”
「是的，我和Curry、Draymond有過交流，這至關重要。一切發生得很快，他們直接向我
表示：『我們真心希望你能加入。』當我審視球隊契合度與發展潛力時，一切感覺水到渠
成，所以他們的主動聯繫具有決定性影響。」
心得:老將最後一拚

勇士=爭冠機會
黑白講。加州稅最重；是塞爾提克不要他
好的 勇士總冠軍
不離開 超塞會給他多少錢？
是尊重他的決定
Horford最多剩兩年生涯了吧 不可能拿來陪JT復健
勇士爭冠機會不高 但綠軍今年更低吧
至少加州曝光多 很多加分條件
如果JT不能打，綠賽留他也沒意義
送走豬哈跟KP很明顯是要重建避稅了 可以理解活佛
有錢 有機會 有尊重 有被需要
來我勇也是復健阿哈哈哈哈
要爭冠軍西區明明就還有雷霆跟金塊可以選阿
那個綠血人已經沒用了
就綠賽想省錢，其他想簽他的球隊，勇士給最多
勇士需要活佛應該超過雷霆金塊
確實，他來勇士可以直接上先發，其他球隊不一定給
我覺得活佛無法實質帶給勇士幫助
沒叫青賽另外提供一份不用出工的額外贊助合約嗎 反
正現在是大陰陽時代了 (
活佛這種六邊形中鋒 去哪隊都有幫助好嗎…
雷霆不需要他吧 金塊也有大V了
勿忘七六人時期www
可能超賽連底薪都不想開給他
榮耀很重要、但是要退休了還是多拿一點錢更重要
Horford如果是最近三五年才進聯盟的球員 感覺蠻有
機會成為什麼現代神獸
都39了，這是生涯最後一張了吧
勇士確實很有機會
不用現代，他年輕時就已經是球隊一哥了
雖然但是 活佛整個巔峰都被LBJ壓在底下
所謂的躲東區刷弱隊 活佛就是那個弱隊 對阿
勇士他能先發五號，其他更強的隊都是替補
活佛很強沒錯，但雷霆沒格子了角色也不會比在勇士
重要。
活佛超老欸
勇士還有爭冠機會嗎......西區要出線太難了
76人那張本以為就生涯最後一張合約
去金塊才有機會 老人隊是不可能的
應該說他如果沒走 塞爾提克也不一定會要他
去金塊才更適合 傻了
送走佛祖迎來活佛，讚
勇士也沒機會吧
勇士有奪冠機會?想太多了吧
39了 也差不多要退了
勇士先發都要平均35歲了比快艇還老
活佛也從奪冠年後退化很多了
他生涯賺的錢也夠多了吧 業外收入應該比打球還多
想奪冠其實去快艇或湖人應該更好
剩沒幾年能打了 本來就不可能留著陪球隊重建
奪冠機會應該重返雷霆吧？
勇士目標明確就是全力拚冠 主將沒時間等 但賽隊這
季目標必定是能走多遠就多遠 等JT回歸才會真正隊型
重整
勇士如果可以全員健康那當然有機會阿
勇士 有可能打得贏同樣擁有奪冠經驗但更年輕的金塊
和雷霆？
經驗也不能幹嘛 雷霆這些人都第一次或第二次打季後
賽
魯超人 ： 我也略懂
爭冠？要確餒，雷霆沒位置還算了，他要的話金塊應該
會給位置啦，爭冠機會更好
金塊都有大V了，要給啥位置
勇士總冠軍
主因就綠賽想省錢啦,反正勇士也的確需要他,是好事
當初V想回歐洲那段金塊是可以選擇的阿，如果活佛原
意的話
勇士這一季也不可太可能奪冠吧，主力又老又傷
講的好像到勇士拿冠穩穩的一樣lol
財務影響 ?? 欠幾億???
活佛跟吉巴之前季後賽互相進球比暫停，結果在第三
隊當隊友了
這麼老還有空間打先發 又能打季後賽 也只剩老勇惹
對他有興趣且具競爭力的隊伍中就勇士給最多呀
活佛應該多看一下ptt，就不會覺得勇士會奪冠了
講的很謙虛，最重要的理由是他有機會成為奪冠的關
鍵角色，勇士隊型就需要外線準的中鋒！
有幫助但感覺不到奪冠level
感覺是賽不要 而勇士隊型他有發揮空間
以前是一哥啊
加州應該很多球場外收入吧
無論如何謝謝活佛
幫傑夫噓
活佛不是有一冠了嗎
西區的球隊要過金塊跟雷霆都很困難吧
想奪冠怎麼會去勇士
金塊是比較有機會啦，但也不是每個人都想上山
勇士至少還肯拼冠（雖然機會渺茫XD 而青賽是完全躺
奪冠快艇或湖人是搞錯了什麼嗎
平了
可能加州是首選吧
超賽一定是底薪或甚至沒開約
加入快艇說不定能拿到更多球場外收入
自己選的 晚節不保
綠賽練新人+放推+控薪 活佛只好走人了
1+1PO 有先發 有錢 雖然機會渺茫 但也不到微乎其微
的爭冠機率
祝福他，活佛真的是個好球員，希望還有奪冠機會
就有錢有舞台又還有一點機會的球隊吧
不能說是奪冠機會 而是球隊把目標放在奪冠
好了啦 就是想再蹭一冠
活佛有冠了吧 帝2冠對他來說沒傻意義 錢重要吧
有吉巴的那隊拿冠都是有機會
就至少你工作會感覺有意義點 不是在消耗時間
真沒想到他還有冠軍心
撈到一冠就閃
他生涯也賺不少了 快3億鎂欸
我覺得合理 也許去勇士以後還有當教練團機會
或管理層
可以讓你先發的球隊 還會覺得是爭冠球隊？
如果爭不了冠 那當然是拚表現拿錢優先
勇士什麼時候跟爭冠機會劃上等號了
去勇士是珍貴的先發五號 留綠賽就是坦一年
去勇士等著休息室被氣氛
西區這強度要季後賽都難，看Post、TJD能跟著學多少
爭冠機會也不是去勇士，勇士去年成績就那樣了，現在
勇士是要爭格鬥冠軍喔
又更老一歲，又沒補強，今年大概就一輪左右
賽隊不想要浪費他最後到生涯在這個gap year
勇士有爭冠機會，好喔
爭冠是藉口，錢才是真的
勇士有爭冠機會？？？
去勇士發揮空間會讓他比較有存在感吧
就像當初OPJ底薪去勇士也不是最好的合約
甚至那一年誰想的到勇士會奪冠?
但是這種有外線能換防的長人在勇士體系超好表現
活佛有冠也有錢了，最後的爭冠機會不想只是躺贏吧
去金塊就是當小丑的一個小替補而已，存在感差很多
看到勇士有爭冠機會就笑了
送走kp絕對是對的 毛超多
有錢有發揮空間有一點爭冠機會
西區要過雷霆太難了
粗俗一點就是：勇士有錢
明顯就賽隊有不和嘛
去勇士表現機會也比較多
