“I'm not no sixth man,” he declared in an interview with USA TODAY Sports
this week. “And I won't be a sixth man (in the future). I just want
everybody to know that, like clear as can be. I'm a two-time All-Star and a
starter who has done things that a lot of people in this league haven't done
(when) given that opportunity.
....
“But I got traded into a situation I can't control. There's nothing bad
against (Lakers coach) Luke Walton. There's nothing bad against the Los
Angeles Lakers. I'm taking advantage of the opportunity they've given me, and
then (we’ll) end the season off strong."
....
“I told Luke when we sat down and talked (that), 'Yeah, obviously I want to
be a starter, (and) obviously I feel like I deserve and earned the right to
be a starter on any team in the NBA,” Thomas said. “But I'm not going to
cause problems just because you say, 'Well right now I'm not starting.' It is
what it is. I can't control it."
大意是矮汤认为自己过去的成绩已经证明了自己的能力, 他会追寻先发球员的
发展机会. 但是这和他在这里打球不冲突. 他会拿出专业态度. 大家一起努力
把这个赛季打完, 努力打出强势表现.
