Knicks extend coach Mike Woodson http://ppt.cc/lMB; 以下只节译我个人觉得比较重要的段落： The New York Knicks liked Mike Woodson so much they never even considered calling Phil Jackson during their coaching search. So said Knicks GM Glen Grunwald on Friday night, when the team named Woodson their next head coach. 尼克GM Glen Grunwald表示，尼克实在太爱Woodson了， 以致於他们甚至没考虑给禅师打个电话。XDD Woodson, who served as interim head coach for the final 24 games of the regular season and the playoffs, signed a multiyear extension on Friday. The Knicks did not disclose terms of the deal, but sources told ESPNNewYork.com's Stephen A. Smith that Woodson's deal includes two guaranteed years and a third-year option, worth approximately $4 million per season. 尼克礼拜五召开记者会，正式宣布与Mike Woodson签约， 任命他为总教练。 合约内容细节未透露，但根据SAS的消息来源， 应该是一份每年4M，2+1的合约。 Woodson is longtime friends with Grunwald. Both played college basketball together at Indiana. Many believe Woodson's candidacy for the full-time job greatly improved when the Knicks removed the interim tag from Grunwald's title late in the regular season. But Grunwald said at the time that hiring the team's next coach would be an "organizational" decision, not his alone. In addition to the support of Grunwald, Woodson had the backing of many Knicks, including Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin. 很多人相信Woodson能得到这份合约是来自於GG的引荐， （因为他们是朋友，大学时还一起打篮球） 但GG否认，澄清这是整个组织的决定。 除了GG，Woodson也得到许多球员的支持，包括 Melo、阿骂及Lin。 Woodson said on Friday he wanted to "set the record straight" regarding his agent. "I have no contract with the Glasses. I paid for my services and I elected to move on," Woodson said. "Mr. Dolan had nothing to do with me making this decision. It was Mike Woodson's decision. I had every right to make that decision, to move on if I choose to do that." Woodson confirmed he hired Terry Prince of CAA to represent him. CAA has several business ties to the Knicks. The agency represents Anthony and J.R. Smith. It also represents Knicks executive Mark Warkentien and assistant GM Allan Houston. Woodson said that, from a "business standpoint," he thought CAA would be the best fit for him. But he said the fact that CAA has business ties to the Knicks didn't factor into his decision. "Not really," he said. "After my doing my due diligence on their company, I liked what I saw and I took them on. And I'm happy about taking them on. So we'll see where it takes us." Woodson否认他开除原经纪人，跟CAA签约，与Dolan有关。 （很多记者都在推特上表示不相信XDD） CAA同时也是Melo和JR的经纪公司。 Woodson was able to coach Lin for only seven games before the point guard was shut down for the season with a meniscus tear in his left knee. Grunwald made it clear the Knicks intend to give Woodson more opportunities to coach Lin. "We can keep him if we want him, and we do want to keep him, and I believe that Jeremy had a great experience here," Grunwald said. "I believe he wants to come back." 本季Woodson并没多少机会执教Lin，GG表示尼克倾向给他更多这样的机会。 GG表示：『假如我们要Lin，我们就一定能保有他，而我们的确想要他。』 （意思是要别队不用浪费时间开价吗？= = 不行啊！麻烦有兴趣的球队还是要多多开价，不能让尼克轻易赚到唷！XDD） 另外，根据另一篇报导： Glen Grunwald sees Knicks retaining Jeremy Lin http://ppt.cc/sLpf Both Woodson and Grunwald insisted that Lin's rehab from season-ending knee surgery is going well and Woodson remarked that he expects to work with Lin in Las Vegas this July as the point guard will be training against Team USA on the U.S. National Men's Select Team. Woodson跟GG都表示Lin的复健进度良好（好消息XD） 而Woodson也说他期待七月时能到Las Vegas与Lin 一起工作。 （是要去监督Lin吗？然後顺便看看拳王跟Melo？><） --
