湖人老板Jeanie Buss受访，以下节录部分问题。
Injuries were a huge factor. But several, Including myself, also argued last s
eason’s shortcomings stemmed from the roster construction with the Westbrook
trade, the depth required to make that happen and having a veteran-heavy team.
How did you view that part?
记者：(上赛季失败)伤病是很大原因，但包括我在内的一些人都认为上赛季的不足之处来
自于龟龟交易后的阵容组成以及老将过多，你怎么看？
Many members of the media, when that trade was made, thought it was going to p
ut us in the top of the conference. We didn’t live up to our expectations. Th
e injury to Anthony Davis changes your whole dynamic because so much of our te
am depends on him. Now you’re missing a vital piece. Everything else gets thr
own off.
珍妮：当那笔交易达成时，许多媒体都认为这会帮助我们在分区名列前茅，我们没有达到
我们的期望，AD的受伤改变了球队的整个状况，因为我们球队太依赖AD了，我们缺少一个
重要部分，其他的一切都被打乱了。
I’m not here to make excuses. It wasn’t acceptable. We have to get better. H
opefully, injuries will not devastate us the way they did this past season. We
’ve made significant changes. But we’re operating in a salary-cap system. So
there are not a lot of tools that we have to make changes to our roster. As t
ime goes on, you do your best. That’s what our basketball operations is doing
.
我不是来找借口的，这不是可以接受的，我们必须变得更好，希望伤病不会像去年那样给
我们带来毁灭性的打击。我们已经做出了重大改变，但由于薪资上限，我们没有太多的方
法来改变我们的阵容。随着时间的推移，你会尽力而为的，这就是我们的篮球营运部门正
在做的事。
And so even with last season, do you still have full confidence in your basket
ball operations?
记者：所以哪怕上赛季打成这样，你仍然对自己的篮球营运充满信心吗？
Absolutely. Yes.
珍妮：肯定是的。
