Under managing partner Robert Sarver's guidance, the Suns have repeatedly
hired inexperienced or under-experienced staff, which just happens to make it
easy to pay them among the lowest salaries at their positions. The hiring of
Earl Watson to the full-time position last month is no exception.
较有趣是这段，说太阳的老板Saver一直以来，倾向顾用经验较少的员工，所以
比起联盟其他球队，相同的位子，他可以付出最低的薪资。Earl Watson 也不意外
作者也有附上，今年新上任总教练的薪资表排行
Tom Thibodeau, Timberwolves: $8-10 million per year, 5 years (dual role as
coach and President)
Scott Brooks, Wizards: $7 million per year, 5 years
Frank Vogel, Magic: $5.5 million per year, 4 years
Luke Walton, Lakers: $5 million per year, 5 years
Terry Stotts, Blazers: $4.5-$5 million per year, 4 years total with 1 year
extension on current contract
Dave Joerger, Kings: $4 million per year, 3 years guaranteed +1 option year
Kenny Atkinson, Nets: $2.5 million per year, 4 years (first time head coach)
Earl Watson, Suns: $2.5 million per year*, 3 years (first time head coach)
作者自己下面，也有加个但书
*Eggers says Watson's contract reported at 3 years at 'close to 8 million'.
So I rounded down to a clean $2.5 million per year. It's quite possible
Watson makes a couple dollars more than $2.5, which would put him as only the
second-lowest paid coach.
根据他引用的资料，Earl Watson的合约可能是$7.XXM，接近$8M，比年薪的话，
Earl Watson可能只是倒数第二名。
While Mike D'Antoni and Alvin Gentry were coaching veterans, neither had held
an NBA head coaching job for more than two consecutive seasons before taking
over the helm of the Suns, and both were promoted from an assistant position
to the head job.
All this adds up to the Suns hiring coaches who did not demand high salaries.
As far as I can tell, Sarver has not paid a coach more than $2.5 million per
year since Mike D'Antoni left and the only reason D'Antoni made more money
was because he briefly held the dual role of coach/GM after Bryan Colangelo
left in 2006.
细数Saver近几年找教头的轨迹，除了Terry Porter，其他人选都是菜鸟教练，完全没有
当过总教头的经验。作者也推断，除了D'Antoni因为太阳总管Bryan Colangelo被挖角，
冷笑话自己身兼总管时，可能薪水有多一些外，其余人选的薪水大概都没超过2.5M年薪。
Let's hope Earl Watson does well in Phoenix and earns a hefty pay raise
before his contract expires and the Suns promote yet another new coach into
the position.
But if Watson doesn't work out, Sarver's other go-to move is to promote the
veteran journeyman coach from within. One might look at new associate head
coach Jay Triano and see a lot of Alvin Gentry right there.
除了祝福新任教头，希望Earl Watson可以"加薪"之外。
Saver打的主意算盘，大概就是最近新挖角来的助理教练，Jay Triano。如果Watson被
火了，队里还有很多如当年的Alvin Gentry的人选! 只需从自家里提拔，不需花大钱去
挖角别人。
这作者也列出，去年薪水拿到$2M左右的人
Brett Brown, extended by Sixers, terms unknown
今夏签了新合约，数字未定
Mike Budenholzer, contract expired this summer, no new contract announced
(but you can expect one)
合约走完，新合约未知数(但预期可以签到)
Steve Clifford, extended by Hornets, terms unknown
今夏签了新合约，数字未定
Dave Joerger, let go by Grizzlies, signed with Sacramento for $4 million/year
被灰熊火了，但和国王签了有$4M的年薪
Jeff Hornacek, fired by Suns, signed with Knicks
在作者文章里，如果他和尼克签约，应该有$4M，
心得:整篇文章的重点，大概就只是在说 Robert Sarver很小气吧
