Bob Myers on Steve Kerr extension: “Whenever he wants to start”
Myers講到Kerr的續約: 只要他想談都可以
OAKLAND — Most NBA offseason projects have a particular order: focus on the
draft, zero in on free agency and then evaluate the summer-league roster.
大部分NBA球隊在休賽季的計畫大概有一個順序: 專心在選秀，趕快找自由球員，然後評估
夏季聯盟的輪值。
But when it comes to offering an extension to Warriors coach Steve Kerr, they
have some flexibility. They could do it before, during or after the draft
(June 21), free agency (July 1) or summer league (July 2-5 in Sacramento;
July 6-17 in Las Vegas). The lack of clarity has nothing to do with any
indecision. It appears it has everything to do with the Warriors feeling
comfortable with Kerr.
但是講到要跟勇士總教練Kerr的續約，那就有些彈性了。他們可以在選秀(6/21)，FA
(7/1)，夏季聯盟(7/2-5在Sacramento，7/6-17在Las Vegas)之前，中間，或是之後談，這
他們之前都做過。沒確定什麼時間談不代表續約這件事是有疑慮的，而是因為勇士要讓
Kerr想要談的時候再談。
“Whenever he wants to start. We’ll figure it out,” Warriors general
manager Bob Myers said about Kerr. “I think the nice thing is we developed a
camaraderie and we feel like he wants to be here. We want him here. We’ll
work it out. If it happens later, it won’t be because it was put to the
side. It was because organically it didn’t happen. But it’s going to
happen. We can start whenever we want and however he feels comfortable
beginning.”
「當他想開始談了，我們會把它完成的，」勇士GM Bob Myers講到Kerr的時候說到。「我
想，從好處看我們跟Kerr已經建立了革命情感，而且我們也想要他留下來，我們會解決
的。如果不是太快談好，這不代表我們不處理，就是沒有完成而已，但是一定會談好的。
我們會在我們想要談，而且Kerr覺得舒服想開始的時候，開始談續約的事。」
Kerr sounded as comfortable about the topic as well when he guided the
Warriors to three NBA titles in the past four years.
Kerr在講到這個話題的時候，也是很愉快的，跟帶領勇士4年3冠一樣的舒服。
“We’ll get that done pretty quickly,” Kerr said. “I don’t think there
will be much to it. It should happen relatively quickly.”
「我們會很快把這件事辦妥的，」Kerr說。「我不認為會花太多心力在這件事情上，應該
很快就會辦完的。」
The Warriors’ front office and Kerr both had revealed in October their plan
to have talks next offseason about extending his contract that currently
expires following the 2018-19 season. The Warriors were always firm on their
support for Kerr amid the team’s string of dominance. In October, Myers also
had said that Kerr’s back pain stemmed from a surgery in 2015 “wasn’t a
reason not to engage on our side.” Nonetheless, Kerr did not miss any games
in the 2017-18 after missing the first 43 games of the 2015-16 season and the
first 12 playoff games in 2017.
勇士制服組跟Kerr在10月的時候就已經透露了他們有在談再續這份在2018-19球季就會結束
的約，球團對於Kerr教練有堅定的支持。十月的時候，Myers也說2015時Kerr因為手術後的
背痛不會是是阻礙Kerr回歸的理由。然而，在2017-18球季Kerr沒有缺席過任何一場球賽，
在2015-16球季他缺席了前43場，以及在2017年缺席了前12場季後賽。
“You couldn’t locate or find a better individual, I think, on the planet to
navigate a team trying to get to the Finals for the fourth year because of
who he is, his makeup and how he is unique,” Myers said. “He checks so many
boxes.”
「我認為大概找不到一個更好的人選了，帶領勇士闖到連續四季總冠軍賽，是因為他，他
的整體表現，以及他的獨特性，」Myers說。「他許多表現近乎完美。」
