After his departure from the Denver Nuggets following the expiration of his
contract, former general manager Calvin Booth reportedly is eyeing a move to
the East Coast.
在与丹佛金块队的合约到期并离开后，前金块GM Calvin Booth据报正在考虑转战美国东
岸。
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Booth was among the candidates to
interview with the Atlanta Hawks, who are searching for a president of
basketball operations.
The Hawks fired general manager Landry Fields last month and promoted Onsi
Saleh to replace him. Still, the team initiated a search for a president of
basketball operations to create a new power structure in its front office. In
addition to Booth interviewing with Atlanta, Stein reported that former
Sacramento Kings general manager Monte McNair also met with the organization.
根据Marc Stein的消息，Booth是老鹰的面试人选之一，老鹰正试图找出新的篮球营运
总裁好重建管理层的架构
在老鹰上个月开除前总管Landry Fields后，由Onsi Saleh接任总管，不过球队还是
启动了寻找篮球营运总裁的搜寻作业，除了Booth以外，前国王总管Monte McNair也
跟老鹰进行了会面
"Booth and McNair are among the five GMs leaguewide — along with Atlanta's
Fields, Phoenix's Jones and New Orleans' David Griffin — to lose their jobs
in the past month," Stein explained. "For the Hawks' purposes, Booth's
scouting acumen and strong reputation as a talent evaluator could pair well
with Saleh's strategic expertise. McNair, meanwhile, just worked in a two-
executive structure alongside Wes Wilcox with the Kings."
Booth was dismissed alongside former Nuggets head coach Michael Malone with
just days left in the regular season. ESPN's Tim MacMahon and Ramona Shelburne
reported that team president Josh Kroenke "held Malone and Booth responsible
for allowing their personal issues to negatively affect the organization."
Denver advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals on Saturday with a
dominant win over the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7.
"Booth跟McNair是过去联盟失去自己工作的5位5位总管之一，包含老鹰，太阳，鹈鹕
这些球队也都更换了总管"
"对于老鹰来说，Booth作为球探的能力跟他评估天赋的眼光可能会跟Salen以精于计算
的策略专长互补，McNair在则之前在国王与Wes Wilcox搭档，刚经历双总管的架构。"
Booth跟Michael Malone在例行赛结束的前几天下课，根据ESPN的报导金块总裁认为
Malone与Booth的两人之间的个人问题对球队造成负面影响，因此一并开除，而金块
最后在这周六的第七战中击败洛杉矶快艇，晋级西区准决赛
If Booth lands with the Hawks, he will certainly be hoping to have similar
success after he helped construct a roster that won the Nuggets' first
championship in franchise history in 2023.
如果Booth顺利加入老鹰，他无疑会希望能够复制他过去的成功经验——他曾协助打造出2023年拿下
队史首冠的金块冠军阵容

老鹰目前确立的是Young没有意愿要离开，球队也没要交易他
预期暑假关于他的交易流言会减少，球队对于Young这一季的改变跟领导能力上的进步
很满意，想以他为核心继续打造
而Young也表态他希望看到这支亚特兰大老鹰队迎来转机，而他也想成为当中关键的一员
话是这样说，暑假该补的替补中锋跟控球后卫的坑还是要填
而且这次选的人不只要跟Saleh一起工作，还有一个问题是要整顿管理层
老鹰的管理层被报导长期处于"太多人拥有发言权的状态"
老板的小儿子虽然已经不太管事，但重大决策还是会出场，Snyder也有很大的发言权
，所以老鹰过去几年的决策面常常不是单纯总管说的算，而是一堆人一起做决定
管理层还有Saleh、副总经理Kyle Korver、顾问（前骑士GM）Chris Grant、经纪人出身
的顾问Chris Emens，以及另外七位拥有副总裁职衔的篮球营运人员
在Fields下课后，老鹰把Saleh转正，然后Grant跟Emens离开，所以已经开始在整理
了
目前找新的篮球营运总裁就是希望有能力一举统整所有的管理层人员，跟Saleh
一起确保说方向性是一致的，这也是老板这一次还特别委托猎人头机构帮忙物色人选的
原因，还说愿意开高薪
不然老板之前还跑去问Grant Hill(老鹰股东)，但人家没兴趣
他的梦幻名单是Bob Myers跟Tim Connelly，前者被认为比起钱工作环境更重要，而且
要Myers要放弃ESPN的爽工跟牺牲陪伴家人的时间不太可能
后者预期灰狼会续约，也没什么理由要来
所以先从目前可以谈，跟没合约的总管开始谈
但这个新篮球营运总裁背负著决定老鹰未来几年决策路线的重责大任的决策权之一，还
是希望能找个可靠一点，然后能跟总教练以及核心球员站在同个方向的人啊。
