Mike D'Antoni seeking team option
http://tinyurl.com/kcuf4nq
During conversations with the Los Angeles Lakers over the past 10 days,
embattled coach Mike D'Antoni has asked them to pick up the team option
on the fourth year of his current contract, sources with knowledge of the
situation told ESPN.com.
知情人士对ESPN表示,D'Antoni过去十天跟湖人球团对话时,希望球团能执行合约第四年的
球队选择权.
The motivation for D'Antoni's request is rooted in his desire for the authority
to coach and ensure he won't enter next season as a lame duck whose job
security is undermined by constant speculation about his future, the sources
said.
据了解,D'Antoni的动机在于不希望明年成为跛鸭教练,为了自己的饭碗提心吊胆
The Lakers and D'Antoni have yet to formally meet since exit meetings after
the season, and sources insist no formal decision on his future has been made.
The Orange County Register reported late Friday night on its website that the
Lakers had decided to retain D'Antoni for next season, noting that he has yet
to be informed of the club's decision.
D'Antoni has grown frustrated with the pace of the process, believing each day
that his status remains unresolved further hampers his ability to successfully
perform the job next season, if he is retained.
湖人球团在球季结束的检讨会后就没有跟D'Antoni正式会面过. OC Register上周五报导
湖人队将续留D'Antoni一年,但ESPN的消息来源指出到目前为止球团并没有做出任何决定.
D'Antoni对湖人球团的举棋不定渐感不满. 认为再拖下去会影响到他明年带球队的表现
D'Antoni is under contract for one more season at $4 million. The Lakers hold
a $4 million team option on him for 2015-16.
Los Angeles went 27-55 this season, its first full campaign under D'Antoni.
The Lakers posted the second-worst winning percentage (.329) in team history,
the worst 82-game record in team history and their lowest win total since the
franchise relocated from Minnesota.
D'Antoni, 62, has posted a 67-87 record since being hired by the Lakers early
in the 2012-13 season to replace Mike Brown.
D'Antoni今年62岁,自从12年球季中接手湖人之后的战绩为67-87. 今年他是第一年带整年
球队,战绩27-55,为湖人队在搬来LA后82场赛季以来最差的战绩. 他明年的合约值4百万,
而第四年的球队选择权同样为4百万.
感想:
D'Antoni生涯总教练成绩为455-426,去掉04-08四年Steve Nash的全盛时期后他的战绩为
223-330. 一般人明年能当跛鸭就应该知足了,他还真敢要
