On Dan Patrick show, during the Phil Jackson interview, Patrick asked Jackson why he would draft a 17 years old high school player who won’t contribute for a couple years, if he might not be coaching the Lakers much longer himself?
Jackson replied that he wished he could swing a deal to bring Yao Ming to the Lakers in the first place, and things would be “a lot easier”.
Patrick asked “did you try to swing a deal to get Yao Ming?”
Jackson replied “we didn’t get a chance. Houston drafted the guy and had the inside track in signing him. And Yao was very loyal to his team, and there is nothing wrong with that”..
So, the Lakers’ much rumored and utterly failed 2007 plan to get Yao Ming has just been confirmed.
简单翻译一下:
在《Dan Patrick Show》里面,禅师接受主持人Dan Patrick的访谈,Dan Patrick问他说你可能不会在湖人再执教多长时间了,为什么要选个17岁的拜纳姆(意思是很可能短时间内形不成即战力,形成的时候禅师没准都走了)?
