他真的当冰球队在经营欸 https://reurl.cc/dpAxOV On the notion he’s cheap: 关於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，因为规则允许这麽做」 「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，因为这有助於赢球，这本来就是球队运作的一部分」 「但有些关於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.” 「自从我买下飓风队後，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，有些被归咎於『 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: 关於季後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: 关於在对太阳附加赛前，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，你都会要求延後退房，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，而当时根本没什麽饭店空房——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， 於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: 关於季後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麽 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後，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恤文化这麽重要，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」 https://x.com/MikeVorkunov/status/2055790972043145592 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 ticle calling me cheap. I'm not going to do it. It's hard because I don't think of a budget when it comes to the playing team and how to make sure we win. Some of the stuff that was blamed on money is actually not 100 percent true. That I t hought about the money. Like on traveling players, 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. I don't want the distraction. The NBA see ms to live with those distractions. It's not how I think about it. So you gotta sort of have to learn." https://i.imgur.com/eiass17.jpeg 拓荒者老板Tom Dundon针对季後赛期间不让双向合约球员随队出征客场一事表示： 「我就是不会只因为有人想写篇文章骂我小气，就去浪费一亿美元，我绝对不干这种事，这 很难，因为当涉及到上场比赛的队伍以及如何确保我们赢球时，我其实根本不会去考虑预算 ，某些被归咎於钱的原因，实际上并非百分之百是事实——也就是说并非因为我计较那些钱 」 「例如在球员随队出征这件事上，我只是犯了个错误，单纯是因为我不够了解这个联盟，在 冰球界我们不会让多余的人随队旅行，因为我们不是去度假的，我们是去赢球的，我不想带 来分心的因素，但NBA似乎很习惯与这些分心事物共存，这不是我的思维方式，所以你多少 还是得去适应和学习」 --
