It's always a challenging situation during free agency.
處理自由球員市場是很具挑戰性的。
You are always having to recruit players and there might be current players
at current positions, might be people with the current numbers.
你總是會處理到跟現在隊伍上有同樣位置或同樣號碼的自由球員。
It's unfortunate that it's often hard to handle.
雖然很不幸的這真的很難妥當處理，
Reality is it's standard practice.
但現實面上來說這就是標準程序。
When we went after Chris Bosh a few years ago,we had him in Luis Scola's number.
之前爭取Bosh時我們就用了當時Scola的背號，
When we went after Dwight Howard he had [Patrick] Beverley's number.
在爭取魔獸時我們用了小貝的背號。
I get the sensitivity and I hate that it creates some hurt feelings.
我知道大家在敏感甚麼但是我也很討厭傷害人，
I don't like that,
我也不喜歡這麼做，
but that's obviously Carmelo Anthony's number,
that's the number he wants. He told us that.
但這顯然是甜瓜的背號，這是他想要的背號，這是他告訴我們的。
Bottomline, if Carmelo comes Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin have to be traded.
反正最終，若甜瓜要來我們就得交易萬用包。
It's just math. It's not personal.
這只是數學問題，對事不對人。
My job is every day [to] figure out how to win.
我每天的工作就是去想如何獲勝，
Sometimes it creates challenging situations.
儘管有時得因此面對新狀況的挑戰。
心得：所以莫雷開始把甜瓜一起拉下水就對了，
推文開放噓。
補充：
甜瓜一開始在金塊時背號就是是15，
當初他去紐約時本來也是要選15號，
可是因為尼克的背號15號已被前輩EARL MONROE退休，( http://tinyurl.com/nasgm87 )
所以只好選了7號。
