“I didn’t think Kevin Love was gonna play. I wasn’t even sure he had much
left to play. He reached out to us and said he was in shape and said he felt
he owed us. And on the basis of that, we’re looking at someone with
international experience who at one time was a heck of a rebounder and could
still shoot the ball. You know, being like a 12th man on a roster. Well, it
didn’t work out. He wasn’t in shape. And he was way behind as it turned
out. So you move on. Call it a mistake. Call it giving someone an
opportunity. Someone who had equity with us. Guys who play for us get a
little plus.”
「我不認為Kevin Love能夠參加比賽，我甚至不確定他還能打多久。一開始他向我們
聯繫並說他身體狀況很好，而且說他覺得是他欠我們。建於在這個基礎上，我們需要尋找
具有國際經驗的球員，他曾經是一名出色的籃板好手，而且仍然可以投籃，就像名單上的
12人一樣。最終他沒有成功，事實證明他身體根本沒準備好，狀態遠遠落後其他人，但
我們要繼續前進，我稱之為一個錯誤。應該把機會給一個準備好的，對我們有哪怕一點點
幫助的選手」
