The final days of the Butler saga, and why it could cost Thibodeau his job
JB大戏即将落幕 以及Thibodeau可能会工作不保的原因
by Adrian Wojnarowski
As Tom Thibodeau's plan disintegrated, owner Glen Taylor lost his last
remnants of belief in this crumbling regime. Taylor had delivered Thibodeau a
long and rich contract as the Minnesota Timberwolves president and coach,
control of basketball operations and the trust to be a steward of a franchise
forever in disrepair.
随着Thibodeau的计画土崩瓦解，灰狼老板Glen Taylor丧失了对这管理团队的最后一丝丝
信心。Taylor曾经给了Thibodeau一份长肥约，让他管理球队，也当球队教练，相信他会为
这一支始终在重整的团队当好管家的责任。
Taylor's judgment has been perpetually suspect, from a secret Joe Smith deal
that cost Minnesota draft picks to wasting Kevin Garnett's prime to the David
Kahn catastrophe. In getting things wrong, Taylor has been spectacular in his
mishaps.
灰狼老板Taylor的判断力始终是让人怀疑的，从那桩Joe Smith的秘密交易让灰狼丢掉了选
秀签，浪费了Kevin Garnett的黄金年华，到David Kahn的灾难。在败事有余这件事上，他
真的很棒。
In the end, Taylor didn't sign off on a Jimmy Butler trade as much as he
surrendered to one of the most embarrassing episodes in franchise history.
到最后，把JB交易掉这件事的难堪远不及让他成为队史上最难堪的几个事件之一。
Thibodeau sold Taylor on trading a starry young core and a high lottery pick
to Chicago for Butler on draft night in 2017, sold him on waiting out
Butler's preseason trade demand for two months.
Thibodeau在2017年选秀日让Taylor同意把他们的年轻核心跟高顺位选秀给了公牛，换来了
JB，Thibodeau也让Taylor买帐，让JB在赛季开始前的吹密足足又等了两个月才解决。
He sold him a strategy of publicly excusing Butler's disruptive behavior,
compromising his own credibility within his locker room, because Thibodeau
believed he could navigate the dysfunction and win games.
Thibodeau也让Taylor相信他的策略，公开的抨击JB捣乱的行为，让他在球员休息室里的信
用破产，因为Thibodeau相信他可以在撑过这样混乱的局面，然后可以赢球。
Thibodeau sold Taylor on passing on a strong Miami trade package, because he
was sure Pat Riley would come back with a better offer, and the league would
chase in a bidding frenzy for Butler.
Thibodeau让Taylor相信，放掉热火提的交易包，因为他确信Pat Riley会提更大一包来，
然后联盟其他各队会疯狂追逐JB。
Taylor kept doubling down, and when he hung up the phone with Philadelphia
owner Josh Harris on Saturday morning, Minnesota had lost everything
