Rob Pelinka thinks that the Lakers don’t have to trade their pick, because
younger players drafted in the top-five can still contribute to winning
总管Rob Pelinka认为湖人不需要交易掉选秀签，因为前五顺位的年轻球员仍然有助赢球
After the Los Angeles Lakers miraculously overcame the odds Tuesday night and
moved up to snag themselves the No. 4 pick, Rob Pelinka hopped on a
conference call to field questions about the exciting night and path forward.
星期二晚上，湖人克服了不可能的机率，神奇的拿到了第四顺位选秀权，总管Rob Pelinka
开心的进行会谈，讲到这开心的一晚以及将来湖人的走向。
The Lakers are in a much better spot than they ever could’ve realistically
hoped for and have options they wouldn’t have had otherwise thanks to their
luck, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have tough decisions to make.
Pelinka, in his own meandering way, detailed what the next couple months have
in store for a franchise looking to build on Tuesday night’s momentum (h/t:
Mike Trudell of NBA.com):
由于湖人的好运气，湖人现在处的位置比他们之前所期待的都要来的好，多了一些以前他
们没有的选择。但是，这不代表他们就没有困难的选择要做。Pelinka用他婉转的方式仔细
的讲述未来这几个月湖人球团会如何重建：
“I think our goal is to have an extraordinary successful and winning season,
but I think if you look around the landscape of the league, there are young
players that come in in the top five of the Draft and have an immediate
impact and do great things, even in the playoffs.
“我认为我们的目标是完成一个不凡以及赢球的球季，但是我认为看看现在联盟生态，一
些前五顺位的新秀就可以在比赛发挥影响力，做很棒的事情，甚至于到季后赛。”
“We’re going to have to look really, really hard at the candidates we could
select there and see if they can have an immediate impact on winning. There
is a precedent around the league where young players have (had success).
“我们会很仔细评估我们可以选择的新秀，看看他们是不是可以立即帮助到球队获胜。在
联盟里有一些先例，一些年轻球员可以马上帮球队赢球的例子。”
“But again, if we can use (the pick) in a trade that solidifies us in a
better way, we’ll look at that as well. I think it’s early in the
evaluation process, obviously we just were awarded the top pick, so now
begins the fun of dissecting all the different options and making those
choices.”
“但是，要再次说明，若是我们可以用选秀签达成一桩交易，可以让球队更强更好，我们
也会看看那方面的可能性。我认为现在还在早期评估阶段，但是我们刚拿到高顺位选秀，
现在正是要开始有乐趣的阶段，好好看看所有不同的选择，然后做决定。”
Look: Jokes aside at the way Pelinka talks, it is good to see him using a
bunch of words without really saying anything. This isn’t even sarcasm,
either. It’s an important skill to be able to talk and not give anything
away. The above quote is exactly that.
看看Pelinka讲话的内容，看他讲了一堆话但是却没讲出什么东西出来。这也不是讽刺，这
是一种很重要的技巧，能够讲一堆东西但是却没透露出任何口风，上面的这段话就是例
证。
Pelinka does understand that this is quite the gift to fall out of the sky,
though:
不过Pelinka真的知道这签是天上掉下来的礼物：
“I think that, listen, when you make decisions there are multiple factors …
I do think that rookie contracts are extraordinarily valuable, because
usually you’re getting extremely talented players at cost-controlled numbers.
“听着，我认为当要做一个多方都会影响的决定时....我认为年轻球员的合约是非常有价
值的，因为大家可以用一个非常便宜的价格就可以得到一位极有天份的球员。”
“So that’s one of many factors we’ll look at when deciding to select a
player there or using it as a trade asset. But the way we make decisions as a
front office is to look at all the factors. I don’t think there’s any one
factor that will control it.
“所以当我们决定要选哪个球员或是用这签去当交易筹码时，那会是一个我们会仔细评估
的因素之一。但是，身为制服组，我们做的决定要多方考量，我不认为这是单一因素去控
制的。”
“We’ll look at everything and make a decision for what’s best to have an
extraordinarily successful, winning year next year, because that’s what our
fans expect, and that’s what we’re going to deliver to them.”
“我们会看完所有的评估，然后做出一个会有助我们下一季成功的决定，因为那是我们的
球迷想要的，而也是我们想给他们的。”
Again, this is basically Pelinka saying that the Lakers have a ton to figure
out and will do all they can to improve their standing for next season and
beyond.
又来了，基本上Pelinka就是说湖人有很多事情得要搞清楚，然后他们会尽可能改进他们明
年以及之后的排名等等。
Still, there are a couple notes to make here: First, Pelinka makes a note
about how players at the top of the draft can step in and immediately help a
team. While he’s obviously correct, the hope here is that he would not pick
a player for their readiness to help rather than talent level. The draft
scouting department has been overwhelmingly successful, but last year’s
draft group wasn’t great and the Lakers can’t afford to strike out like
that again if they wind up using this pick.
然而，有一些点还是可以看：第一，Pelinka提到高顺位新秀球员可以成为即战力，马上就
可以帮助到球队。他当然是对的，现在是希望他不要选球员是选可以马上帮球队的，而是
要根据他们的天赋来选。之前选秀球探部门成功，但是去年的选秀人才并没有那么好，所
以今年若是湖人决定要选秀，他们可不能搞砸。
Another concern here is the very glaring lack of clarity on the
decision-making process. He also said in this interview that he holds the
same job as last season. Does this mean they dissolved Magic Johnson’s old
position? Did Kurt Rambis step into that gig? Where does Phil Jackson fit
into all this? And at what point will Jeanie actually set the record straight
on what is going on?
另外一个让人担心的是他们的决策过程不透明。在这次会议中，Pelinka说他跟去年所处的
位置一样。所以这代表了魔术原本的位置就消失了? 或是Kurt Rambis取代了那个职位? 禅
师Phil Jackson在这里面到底扮演怎样的角色? 以及到底Jeanie Buss什么时候会把事情交
代清楚呢?
Pelinka gave good answers to the questions given this current situation. It’
s just hard to take them all that seriously without knowing who holds how
much power.
就目前的状况而言，Pelinka算是给了很好的回答，只是不知道是谁负责什么，责任程度多
少不明的状况下，很难让大家对他讲的话认真看待。
All in all, though, it’s good to have something positive to point to. The
pick reopens the possibility of landing Anthony Davis in ways previously
thought long gone. If they don’t use it for that, then the Lakers scouting
department can once again show why they’re considered the most promising
aspect of the organization. Pelinka handling this presser in the way he did
was also good to see. Now the focus shifts to building on this momentum.
总之，现在好不容易有好事发生。这高顺位选秀签让原先以为不可能交易到Anthony Davis
的希望重新燃起。若是他们不要用这签去换AD，那球探部就要展现出为什么他们被视为是
湖人球团被视为最有希望的部门的理由。Pelinka这次的会议处理的算是不错，现在目标就
是要转向如何把这股气势建立起来了。
