Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob doubled down on Steve Kerr's previous ex
planation on why the team traded Jordan Poole, admitting that they felt it was
time for a change.
金州勇士隊老闆Joe Lacob再度重申Steve Kerr之前對於為何球隊交易Jordan Poole的解
釋，承認他們覺得是時候做出變動了。
To recall, after the Warriors sent Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards in a
trade for Chris Paul, Kerr opened up about their rationale behind the deal an
d pointed out that they “sensed” they “needed a shift.”
回顧一下，勇士隊將Poole交易至華盛頓巫師，換取Chris Paul後，Kerr透露了他們做此
交易的理由，並指出他們「感覺」到他們「需要一種轉變」。
“Didn't mean we needed an overhaul, but we needed a shift of some sort. I thi
nk everybody in the organization sensed that. And it feels like we’ve made a
pretty significant shift without giving up our identity and our sense of who w
e are as a team. I think, all in all, it’s a very positive shift,” Kerr furt
hered.
Kerr進一步說：「這並不意味著我們需要徹底改革，但我們需要某種形式的變化，我認為
球隊中的每個人都感覺到了這一點。現在我們似乎已經進行了相當重大的變化，而沒有放
棄我們的角色和我們對自己是什麼樣的團隊的認識。我覺得，整體來說，這是一個非常積
極的轉變。」
Now, Lacob shared similar sentiments while speaking with Madeline Kenney of Me
rcury News, emphasizing that it was a decision they needed to do. The Draymond
Green punching incident with Poole clearly had a negative impact on the team,
and Lacob's admission only adds fuel to the belief that it's a big reason why
the Dubs pulled the trigger on the Poole-Paul deal.
現在，Lacob在接受Mercury News的訪談時，表達了類似的觀點，強調這是他們需要做的
決定。Draymond Green與Poole的打人事件對球隊產生了明顯的負面影響，Lacob的承認只
會加深人們相信這是勇士決定做Poole-Paul交易的重要原因。
Lacob, however, expressed optimism that having Paul will help elevate Golden S
tate back to title contention.
然而，Lacob表達了樂觀的態度，認為有了Paul將有助於把金州重新提升到冠軍競爭的行
列。
“We had to change something. While it's a short-term move, Chris Paul is a fa
bulous Hall of Famer who will I think certainly help our second unit, help our
first unit if he plays there, wherever he plays, he’s a tremendous guy,” La
cob said before clarifying that the coaches have yet to decide whether to star
t CP3 or have him come off the bench.
Lacob在澄清教練團隊尚未決定是否讓CP3先發或是打替補之前說：「我們必須改變一些事
情。雖然這是一個短期的行動，Chris Paul是一位出色的名人堂球員，我認為無論他在哪
個位置上場，他都會對我們的二陣，甚至一陣有所幫助，他是一個了不起的人。」
After the Warriors won the title in 2022, many thought that Jordan Poole will
be Stephen Curry's heir apparent in Golden State and take over when he calls i
t a career. Naturally, it came as a surprise when the team dealt Poole away.
在勇士隊於2022年奪冠之後，許多人認為Jordan Poole將是Stephen Curry在金州的接班
人，並在Curry退休時接棒。因此，當球隊將Poole交易出去時，自然引起了人們的驚訝。
However, as Joe Lacob and Steve Kerr hinted, they really needed to make a choi
ce between him and Green seeing that things wouldn't work after that punching
incident. And considering the Dubs' desire to compete for a championship in th
e remaining prime years of Curry, keeping Green was the choice they thought ma
de the most sense.
然而，正如Joe Lacob和Steve Kerr所暗示的，他們確實需要在他和Green之間做出選擇，
因為看來在打人事件之後事情不會有所改變。而考慮到勇士隊希望在Curry的剩餘巔峰中
爭奪冠軍，他們認為留下Green是最合理的選擇。
