这老板看下来其实就是标准的商人思维
把冰球大的那套直接搬来NBA 结果发现没戏
连退房时间 发毛巾跟发T恤这种小事都要亲自下去管
画面想起来实在满搞笑的= =
但至少愿意承认自己不懂篮球圈的文化
也有试着去学习跟调整 虽然还是很小气啦
这点就赢过某些...自以为很会的GM(无恶意
等下赛季看他怎么治理球队 就知道是抠门还是真不懂了
如果连教练团跟后勤的钱都要硬省
那阿拓球迷只能说 多保重了
不过有一说一 当GM好像很有趣馁
要是可以有个NBA经理人游戏就好了笑死
我肯定洒钱养球队 走一个豪门路线

: On the notion he’s cheap:
: 关于有人认为他很抠门这件事
: “My hockey team has been over the cap many times. They were the lowest in the l
: eague. They were at the floor when I bought them. You can go over the cap in hoc
: key. If you have a hurt player, you can replace them. So I’ve been over the cap
: multiple times because there was a rule that allowed you to go over the cap. An
: d at the same time, when I walk out of a room, I turn off the lights. And so tha
: t my friends make fun of me all the time. They’re telling me how bad I am at be
: ing rich.
: “我的冰球队很多次都超过薪资上限，他们原本是联盟里花费最低的球队，我买下球队时，
: 他们甚至只在薪资下限附近，NHL允许你在球员受伤时超过薪资上限补人，所以我很多次都
: 超过上限，因为规则允许这么做”
: “但同时我离开房间时也会顺手关灯，所以朋友总是笑我，他们都说我根本不会当有钱人”
: “I just don’t want to waste money. I want to invest it. I’ll have many masseu
: ses. I’ll have the best food. We’re going to take care of the players, because
: it helps you win. It’s part of the deal. Some of the stuff about how we’re go
: ing to run the business; Portland spends 100 million more dollars a year on thei
: r business than the Hurricanes do, not including players
: “我只是不想浪费钱我，想把钱拿去投资，球队会有很多按摩师，也会提供最好的食物，我
: 们会好好照顾球员，因为这有助于赢球，这本来就是球队运作的一部分”
: “但有些关于球队经营方式的事情——拓荒者每年在球队营运上的支出，比卡罗莱纳飓风队
: 多出1亿美元，而且这还不包含球员薪资”
: “The Hurricanes, since I bought the team, have the first or second-best record
: in the league. So, I’m just not going to waste 100 million dollars, just becaus
: e somebody wants to write an article calling me cheap. I’m just not going to do
: it. And so, it’s hard because I don’t think about a budget when it comes to t
: he playing team and how to make sure we win. Some of the stuff that was blamed o
: n money is actually not 100% true.”
: “自从我买下飓风队后，他们一直都是联盟战绩前一、二名的球队，所以我不会只是因为有
: 人想写篇文章骂我抠门，就白白浪费1亿美元，我不会这样做”
: “而且老实说，在球队竞争力和如何赢球这件事上，我其实不太去想预算，有些被归咎于‘
: 省钱’的事情，其实并不完全是真的”
: On the decision not to travel with two-way players in the playoffs:
: 关于季后赛不让双向合约球员随队客场的决定
: “I just made a mistake. I just don’t understand the league. In hockey, we don
: ’t travel extra people, because we’re not on vacation. We’re here to win, so
: we don’t want a distraction. The NBA seems to live with those distractions. It
: ’s not how I think about it. So, you’ve got to learn what’s the differences b
: etween the two leagues.”
: “我只是犯了错，我其实还不够了解这个联盟”
: “在冰球界，我们不会带额外的人随队，因为我们不是去度假，我们是去赢球的，所以不想
: 要有任何干扰”
: “但NBA似乎能接受这些事情，这不是我的思维方式，所以你必须去学习这两个联盟之间的
: 差异”
: On making traveling party (except players and coaches) check-out early from the
: Phoenix hotel before the play-in game vs. the Suns:
: 关于在对太阳附加赛前，要求随队人员（球员与教练除外）提前从凤凰城饭店退房
: “The hotel story with the staff is an interesting story, I think, because, norm
: ally, when you travel, you get late checkout, right? In this case, in sports, it
: ’s usually like 5% and never comes up. Because it was last-minute — going to P
: hoenix, there was no hotels — I guess Phoenix in March is a pretty popular plac
: e. So, I had trouble getting hotels. And the hotel really wanted us to be out ea
: rly because they needed the rooms. And so, they wanted us to pay for a second ni
: ght. And so, we did that for the coaches and the players. But we got (them) to l
: et us leave at 1 o’clock. And I had a room at the hotel. I was there. So, I’m
: like, lunch starts at 1:45. We have a huge ballroom with this really nice lunch
: for everybody. So, I said, ‘Look, we’ll do the players and the coaches. We’ll
: stay. We’ll pay the extra night. For the staff, we’ve got this big ballroom w
: ith food. We’ll go down there and work.’ And everyone was down there. I was do
: wn there. I actually learned a lot during that hour, because I got to talk to so
: me of the training staff, etc.
: “我觉得饭店那件事其实很有意思，通常出差旅行时，你都会要求延后退房，对吧？在体育
: 界这种情况其实只占大概5%，几乎不太会发生”
: “但因为那次是临时去凤凰城，而当时根本没什么饭店空房——我猜凤凰城三月是很热门的
: 地方——所以我订房遇到很多困难”
: “饭店真的很希望我们早点退房，因为他们需要房间，所以他们要求我们多付一晚住宿费，
: 于是我们替教练和球员支付了那笔费用”
: “但我们协调到可以延到下午1点离开，我自己当时也住在那家饭店，午餐是1点45开始，我
: 们有一个很大的宴会厅，也准备了很棒的午餐给大家”
: 所以我就说：‘球员和教练可以留在房间，我们付多一晚，但工作人员就到楼下宴会厅，有
: 食物也可以在那里工作。’
: “结果大家都在那里，我自己也在，我其实在那一小时里学到很多，因为我有机会和一些训
: 练团队的人聊天等等”
: On the decision to give fans free towels instead of free T-shirts during home pl
: ayoff games:
: 关于季后赛主场发送免费毛巾而不是免费T恤的决定
: “I wasn’t trying to save money. I just kind of thought t-shirts were kind of s
: illy. They called me and said … ‘Do you want to do t-shirts?’ I’m like, ‘No
: , let’s do towels.’ It was that long of a conversation. Because in Carolina, w
: e do towels and it’s awesome. Like (fans at) the arenas, they’re all waving th
: em. Well, I got to the Portland game, no one waved any towels. So we tried to ge
: t t-shirts for the next game. I didn’t know t-shirts were such a thing, because
: I hadn’t thought about the fact that in hockey, we’ve got jerseys, everybody
: wants to wear their jersey. And so they don’t want t-shirts because they’ve go
: t their jerseys. But in basketball, (that’s) not the case. They want to wear th
: e t-shirt.
: “我不是想省钱，我只是觉得T恤有点蠢”
: 他们打电话问我：‘你想发T恤吗？’我就回：‘不要，发毛巾吧’整段对话差不多就这么
: 短
: “因为在卡罗莱纳，我们都是发毛巾，而且效果超棒，球场里每个人都在挥毛巾”
: “但我到了波特兰的比赛后，发现根本没人在挥毛巾，所以我们下一场就赶快改发T恤”
: “我之前根本不知道T恤文化这么重要，因为我没想到冰球和篮球的差别，冰球迷通常都有
: 球衣，大家都想穿自己的球衣，所以不太需要T恤”
: “但在篮球不是这样，球迷真的会想穿那些T”

: Tom Dundon on not sending 2-way players on the road to the playoffs, on the Game
: Over podcast:
: "I'm just not gonna waste $100 million just because someone wants to write an ar
