昨天其實要挖腳他前就有旦說了 就是強調開重金挖腳不是活塞老闆第一次這樣幹
Initially, Williams told teams — including the Pistons — that he was
interested in taking a year off. The 51-year-old, who led the Suns to the NBA
Finals in 2021 and won Coach of the Year in 2022, is still owed, roughly, $21
million over the next three years by Phoenix.
Williams本來告訴球隊所有球隊 包含活塞隊 他想要休息一年 這位帶領太陽進2021年冠軍
賽且在2022拿下年度教練的總教練 跟太陽還有剩餘3年21M的合約
However, Weaver, Pistons owner Tom Gores and others in Detroit’s
organization have continued to pursue Williams. Gores and Weaver have met
twice with Lee and Ollie, as both remain in consideration for the job, but
always had the intentions of making a serious run at Williams assuming he was
seriously considering taking another job.
然而活塞老闆Tom Gores跟其他管理層仍然繼續追Williams，Gores跟Weaver與Lee還有
Ollie見面2次，並都將他們列入考慮 但根據消息 他們從頭尾都是最認真考慮的都是
Williams並假設他願意再出山
This type of financial commitment is on brand for Gores, who bought the team
in 2011 and had a 51 percent stake in the organization until 2015, when he
became the sole owner. He likes to make a splash when it comes to hiring a
coach. He likes the big name. In 2014, Gores hired Stan Van Gundy to be both
the head coach and president of basketball operations, which enticed Van
Gundy to head to the Motor City over Golden State. In 2018, when Van Gundy
and the Pistons parted ways, Gores put the full-court press on Dwane Casey,
the reigning Coach of the Year who had just been fired by the Raptors
這類保證金錢的部分對Gores來說並不是問題 在2011年買下活塞持有51%的股份並在
2015年成為活塞隊的唯一老闆，在2014年Gores雇用了Stan Van Gundy同時擔任教練
跟籃球營運總裁，這讓Van Gundy最終選擇加入活塞而非勇士，在2018年Van Gundy與
球隊分道揚鑣後，Gores也全力追求剛被開除的年度總教練Dwane Casey
At the time, Casey, too, had the intention of taking a year off after leaving
Toronto, where he helped turn the franchise into a consistent winner, but
Gores’ pursuit and willingness to put up a big financial commitment forced
Casey’s hand.
當時Casey也跟活塞說他在被暴龍開除後想休息一年 但最終在Gores熱烈的追求跟
願意保障給大約的前提下讓Casey同意了

反正這不是老闆突然發瘋 從過去的Van Gundy到Casey再到Monty
活塞老闆就是秉持一個道理
沒有請不動的人 有就是錢不夠多 但老子有的是錢 所以想要的就一定要追到
