Billy Donovan is interested in leaving Florida for the NBA more than ever
before, according to sources.
多项消息源在这两天陆续指出:曾经率领Al Horford大学母队“佛罗里达鳄鱼”二度
拿冠的明星教练Billy Donovan,离开佛大转跳NBA的意愿不仅越来越高,甚至比以往
还要高。
Donovan figures to draw interest from multiple NBA teams this offseason.
Donovan在佛大的功绩,也的确能在今年暑假吸引不少NBA想力争上游的球队。
Donovan recently agreed to a one-year contract extension to stay with the
Gators through the 2020 season, according to multiple media reports, but the
contract contains a buyout for a mere $500,000 if an NBA opportunity arises.
Donovan最近才与佛大完成再加一年的续约,让他可以留校执教到2020年。但他的合约
也内含有假如有NBA球队找上他,可以用50万美金买断的逃脱条款。
Donovan rejected serious interest from the Minnesota Timberwolves and
Cleveland Cavaliers last offseason.
Donovan去年暑假才陆续拒绝灰狼与骑士两队的邀约。
The Denver Nuggets and Orlando Magic currently employ interim coaches and
both are expected to have Donovan on their list of targets.
媒体预测现阶段最有可能积极追求Donovan的球队应该是金块与魔术,因为他们都曾在
今年季中开除了原来的总教练,目前都是以原来的首席助教暂代,很有可能在季外将
Donovan最为重要追逐目标。
No longer is Donovan barred from considering NBA offers as he was from
2007-08 through 2012-13, after he agreed to a noncompete clause spanning five
years in exchange for being released from the contract he signed with the
Magic.
Donovan在2007-13年这段期间并没有被NBA球队找上做征询,但其实那是因为他在多年
前口头答应魔术邀请又放弃职务留校后,又与魔术签下了禁止其他NBA球队询问的“竞
业条款”。
