Sixers plan to use Doc Rivers as an asset when free agency begins
自由球員開市後 76人計畫把Doc Rivers當資產
The Philadelphia 76ers have a very important free agency period coming up as
they try to put the right pieces around Joel Embiid and James Harden and
properly contend in the East.
接下來的FA市場開始後，對76人來說非常重要，他們得要找對人搭配鉛筆跟鬍子，好
在東區競逐。
They have a legitimate star duo with those two leading the way, but team
president Daryl Morey has another selling point he can offer free agents:
coach Doc Rivers, who has great relationships with players around the league.
除了他們已經有了兩位明星組合來吸引球員加入外，總管莫雷還有另外一招：跟聯盟裡
面許多球員有著良好關係的Doc Rivers。
The Sixers hit on cheap free agents in the 2021 offseason. Andre Drummond and
Georges Niang both singled out Rivers’ presence in their reasoning to come
to Philadelphia. Morey plans on using the coach again as the team moves into
free agency period at the end of June.
去年休賽季76人拿到了一些便宜的FA，Andre Drummond跟Georges Niang，這兩位都指出
Rivers是他們加入76人的原因。所以，莫雷計畫再度使用Rivers進入FA市場。
Morey and the Sixers have a plan for free agency, so having a guy like Rivers
helps in recruitment and having guys understand their role.
所以目前莫雷跟76人球團對於FA已經有了計畫，然後有Rivers來幫忙招募，讓這些FA了
解他們在球團的定位。
“I think one good thing about coach Rivers is people wanna play for him
because he’s very upfront with what role they’ll have, and I think that’s
helped us recruit,” said Morey on Thursday after the draft. “We’re,
hopefully, after free agency, we’re going to be a fairly deep team.”
「我認為，河流教練有一點非常好，很多球員想為他打球，因為他對於球員的要扮演的
角色都很直接坦白，我認為那會幫助我們招募FA，」莫雷說。「希望在FA期間結束後，
我們會有個深度很夠的球隊。」
The Sixers, at the moment, are a valuable team for potential free agents.
They play in a passionate sports city. They have two stars. They have
championship contention plans. And they possess Rivers, who has won in this
league and is a former player. That always helps.
以目前的76人來說，對FA是支有價值的球隊。球隊在一個熱情的城市，有兩位明星，有
著爭冠計畫，然後他們還有在聯盟裡奪冠過，同時也是前球員的Rivers，那很有幫助。
“So maybe we will have a challenge promising roles,” Morey added. “I do
think what balances that is city, winning team, coach Rivers. I can’t tell
you how much when I’m out there, people are like ‘I wanna play for Doc’.
That’s been very helpful for me.”
「所以或許我們有著充滿挑戰的角色，」莫雷說。「但我真的認為因為這城市，一個贏
球的隊伍，以及Rivers，讓這一切達到平衡。我沒辦法說清楚，有許多次我碰到球員，
他們跟我說，『我想為老河打球！』對我來說這一直很有幫助。」
