Celtics' Al Horford says he was 'strongly considering' the Thunder in free
agency http://newsok.com/article/5530496
Al Horford说今夏自由市场时, 他曾强烈考虑加盟雷霆
Horford ended up agreeing to a four-year, $113 million contract with the
Celtics on July 2, but on the opening of free agency on July 1, Horford
talked with the Thunder and Billy Donovan. Horford was coached three seasons
at the University of Florida, where together they won two national
championships.
当然最后Horford是以4Y/$113M加盟青赛, 但7/1自由市场开市时他跟雷霆以及Donovan的
确谈过, Horford念佛罗里达大学时受教于Donovan, 并在其麾下共同赢得两座全国冠军
Here's what Horford had to say to the media on Sunday when asked about his
free agency:
What were your thoughts on the Thunder going into that period?
媒体问: 那时候你对雷霆的看法是什么呢?
"Yeah, it was a hectic period for me. They were a team that I was ... I
didn't say this to him (Donovan) but I was strongly considering them, just
the possibilities of playing under Coach (Donovan) again. Those were
realistic things. But at the end of the day I made my decision to be here in
Boston."
Horford: 是的, 那时对我而言是个令人兴奋的时刻, 雷霆曾是一支我想加盟的队伍, 我
没跟Donovan说过这些但我的确很强烈的考虑过他们, 考虑过再次替Donovan打球, 那些
是很实际的事情, 但最后我决定了把天赋带到波士顿
Did the uncertainty of Kevin Durant play into that, that you didn't consider
them even stronger?
媒体问: 你后来没考虑加入雷霆是跟当时KD的不确定性有关吗?
"At the time that was definitely something that I looked at. I felt like I
made the right decision."
Horford: 那时KD的去向无疑是我很关切的点, 我想我真的做对了决定
