Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard on Dwight Howard — ‘The quickest trade I’ve ever
done in my life’
巫师新总管Tommy Sheppard讲到交易走魔兽Dwight Howard：“我一辈子里做的最快的一笔
交易。”
Newly-named Washington Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard quickly put his
chops to work in the offseason, hoping to get a cemented place in the front
office at the wake of former president Ernie Grunfeld’s firing. Trading
Dwight Howard to the Memphis Grizzlies was among his first moves after taking
over the brass in an interim basis, one he claims was the quickest he’s ever
completed.
刚上任的巫师总管Tommy Sheppard很快的在休赛季就大刀阔斧，希望在前总管Ernie
Grunfeld被开除后很快就在制服组里占有一席之地。在他暂代总管角色的时候，他首先
做的几件事情的其中之一，也是他说他有史以来做最快的一次交易，就是把魔兽Dwight
Howard送到灰熊。
“The quickest trade I’ve ever done in my life,” Sheppard told ESPN’s
Adrian Wojnarowski.
“我一辈子里做的最快的一笔交易，”Sheppard告诉ESPN的Wojnarowski。
Howard had a very brief an injury-riddled stint with the Wizards, hurt from
the time he stepped foot in training camp and marred by it through the course
of the season.
Howard在巫师的时间很短，伤病缠身，从进训练营的时候就是这样，一路到赛季结束。
Sheppard got to work quickly, getting star Bradley Beal on his side and
approaching free agency by aiming for character and a winning reputation,
selecting Gonzaga’s Rui Hachimura in the lottery and Tennessee’s Admiral
Schofield in the second round.
Sheppard很快就动了起来，先是拉拢住明星Bradley Beal，然后去找寻有特色且能赢球的
FA，在选秀日首轮选了Gonzaga大学的八村垒，第二轮选了田纳西大学的Admiral
Schofield。
Owner Ted Leonsis said he’s consider Sheppard for the job, but he first
wanted to see him prove his worth to the organization.
巫师老板Ted Leonsis说他认为Sheppard是适合这份工作的，不过他想先看到Sheppard能证
明自己是有这份价值，能当巫师的总管。
“I didn’t spend a lot of time with Tommy because of the hierarchy, but I
told him: Let me see how you work,” said Leonsis. “Let me see how you
handle the draft. Let me see a strategy document and a Plan A, Plan B and
Plan C. He came back and said he needed assets and young players, and that we
needed to connect the draft to free agency. Our big goal was to get more
coachable players that fit a system that the coaches wanted to play, that
would get us younger, hungrier players that would be helped by our
development coaches.
“因为职级的关系我没有太多跟Tommy相处的机会，但是我告诉他：让我看看你要如何
做，”Leonsis说。“让我看看你要如何选秀，我要看你的应变策略，你的A计画，B计画以
及C计画。之后他来跟我说他需要有资产以及年轻球员，我们应该要把选秀跟FA结合。我们
的目标是希望找到受教的球员，可以融入我们教练团想要打的体系，而那会让我们找到年
轻有冲劲的球员，他们将会从我们的教练团那得到帮助。”
“And Tommy is also a big believer — like us in ownership — that the world
is a big place. He’s very fluent in the global view of basketball.”
“而且Tommy也是个梦想者
