※ 引述《Bird33 (Larry Legend)》之銘言： : hoopshype看到的 : http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/story/326925p-279489c.html : BY FRANK ISOLA : DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER : Isiah Thomas' protracted wait for Larry Brown may prove to be Thomas' smartest : play yet as Knicks' president. 笑笑湯成為尼克總裁後幹的最好的事可能是等了brown這麼長的時間. : In recent days, various reports have surfaced that Pistons owner Bill Davidson : will fire Brown and it sounds as if Brown is daring Detroit to do just that. : The Knicks, according to a league source, are more optimistic than ever they : will have a real chance of hiring Brown as their coach. 最近許多報導將活塞老闆davidson要炒掉brown與brown試圖使活塞這麼做的消息浮出檯 面.根據一個聯盟裡的消息來源指出,尼克對於聘用brown的機會相當樂觀. : "The things going on in Detroit are legitimate," the source said. "It sounds : like Davidson wants to fire him." 消息指出,這件事十分合理,davidson似乎想要炒掉他. : It had been rumored for weeks that the Pistons would look to remove Brown and : replace him with Flip Saunders. Sports Illustrated reported on its Web site : that Brown will be fired. Brown continues to say that he wants to return to the : Pistons, but he has yet to inform the team if he'll be healthy enough to coach : an entire season. Brown missed 17 games in 2004-05 because of hip surgery and : subsequent bladder problems. 活塞想炒掉brown並用flip saunders代替他的謠言傳了幾個禮拜.運動畫刊在網頁上報導 道brown將被解雇.而brown仍然說他想回到活塞,但他提醒球隊是在他健康到能整季帶領 活塞的狀況下.brown上個球季因為健康的因素有17場沒辦法帶領活塞出征. : "I'm planning to be there on Oct. 3 (the opening of training camp)," Brown told : The Detroit News. "My dilemma is, I can't tell them 100% I'll be ready because : the doctors don't know and I don't know. But if the Pistons can't wait, let me : know, don't put this stuff out there. I mean, what would you do if you were me?" : There is no guarantee that Brown will join the Knicks if he leaves the Pistons. : His health concerns could keep him sidelined next season or force him to retire. : There is also the possibility of Brown becoming president of the Cleveland : Cavaliers. Brown met with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert about that position during : the playoffs. Cleveland eventually hired Danny Ferry as GM but hasn't ruled out : making a deal with Brown. "我計畫十月三號(訓練營開始的日子)到那邊",brown對detroit news這麼說,"我的困境 是,我沒辦法百分之百確定我準備好了,因為連醫生也不知道".brown也沒有保證如果他離 開活塞就會去尼克,他的健康狀況將決定他下個球季會在場邊執教或者退休.另外brown也 有可能到騎士當總裁.brown在季後賽時曾就此職位與騎士老闆gilbert會面.騎士最後聘 用了ferry當總管,但尚未排除跟brown簽約. : The Pistons are upset that Brown's flirtations with Cleveland became public : during the playoffs and they want to be certain that Brown will be available : for most, if not all, of the 82-game season. 活塞對於brown跟騎士的曖昧關係在季後賽時搞得大家都知道十分不爽,而且他們希望確 定brown就算不能帶82場,起碼也不能少太多. : "If I was them, and they really valued me to be their coach, I'd say, 'Take as : long as you can to get well and we'll figure it out,'" Brown told the newspaper : . "That's what they'd do if it was a player. That's what other teams have done : for coaches with health or personal issues - Jerry Sloan at Utah, Rudy : Tomjanovich at Houston, Don Nelson at Dallas. This is not a made-up thing. I : have a health problem." brown說,"如果我是他們,而且他們真的重視我,那我會說,盡量多休息,我們會搞定這件事 .就像其他球隊對他們教練一樣,像爵士的sloan,火箭的rudy-t,小牛的老nelson一樣." --
