Reddit 上面有乡民分享当初 Sam Hinkie 辞职信的一段内容:
"We determined to play a faster style that recognizes the importance of speed
in tomorrow’s NBA and one that quickly integrates young players. We set out
to improve our shot selection toward high efficiency basketball. We also
wanted to build a defensive identity that—in time—could thwart tomorrow’s
high-efficiency offenses. Lastly, we needed to build a world-class training
center, develop an ever-evolving player development program, and change the
organization’s culture to one of innovation and a constant search for
competitive edge."
他提到的每一点: 强调速度、增进投篮选择(高效率的篮球)、强力的防守、
建立世界级的训练球馆、球员发展系统、改变球团文化等等，如今几乎完全实现了，
令人赞叹他的远见...
上面乡民截的那段接着下来的文字更是棒:
"These goals were not to fit some preferred style of play, but instead were
aiming for where future champions would be crowned. That original
document I gave to Josh and David in 2012 said:
History’s lessons are clear, but tomorrow’s championship caliber teams
may break from historical trends:
‧Example: A 3PA-happy champion like Orlando under Stan Van Gundy
‧Example: A fast-paced champion like Phoenix under Mike D’Antoni "
以上那几点目标就是为了打造冠军级别的球队，最初他给经营团队两个例子
表明自己想要球队走的是什么方向，那不就是我们现在正在打的
快节奏、三分球吗？
这封信也许有些人之前看过了，但现在回头来看更有一番滋味:
