Yaron Weitzman之前有出書整理過76人的內容

今天他把細節拉出來條列式的講 剛好來(?)翻譯 幫忙釐清一下整個經過

1. Since “why’d the Sixers let Jimmy Butler go?!” is a big topic today,
figured I’d do a thread on what I’ve put together from the past few years.
Some of this I’ve written before, some not. Figured would be helpful to put
it all in one place.

有鑑於為什麼76人讓Jimmy Butler離開了是一個熱門標題，我想我會替過去幾年的部分
做一個總結，有的我可能寫過了有的沒有，我認為將他們放在一個地方會很有幫助

(然後開始整理這樣)

2. First off, as Embiid basically said earlier this year: Simmons was not
happy being put off the ball during the 2019 playoffs against the Raptors.

首先，就像Embiid今年很早說過的，Simmons對於暴龍的比賽中失去球權並不開心

3. Because of this, Sixers management was worried how Simmons would
handle/react to having Butler around and monopolizing crunch-time playmaking
duties for multiple years. Simmons never said "me or Butler." But Sixers were
worried that it could one day reach that point

因為這點，76人管理層擔心西門會如何面對Butler在他身邊長年控制球並且處理關鍵時刻
的行為，西門從來沒有說過"我或Butler"(選一個)

但76人擔心這總有一天會發生

4. In terms of Brett Brown: It’s true that he and Jimmy Butler did not get
along, but my understanding is that in the end Brown made it clear to the
front office that he'd be OK with bringing Butler back

Brett Brown方面，他確實跟Butler處不來，但我的理解是最後Brown講得很清楚他可以
接受管理層把Butler簽回來

5. That said, the front office recognized that if Butler was brought back, it
meant they’d probably have to get rid of Brown at some point in the middle
of the season.


而這也是說明，管理層意識到如果把Butler帶回來，這可能會讓他們在季中必須要擺脫
(開除)Brett Brown

6. Al Horford is an important part of this convo. I know Butler called out
the Tobias Harris contract yesterday, but I think that’s unfair. It's really
Horford who the Sixers chose over Butler.

Horford在這串事件中影響很大，我知道Butler昨天講的對象是Harris，但這是不公平的
，是76人選擇了Horford而非Butler

7. The Sixers believed Embiid would miss at least 20 games/season, meaning
they'd need a fill-in at center. And they felt Horford could do a good job
defending Giannis in the playoffs.

76人相信Embiid會在例行賽中至少缺席20場，他們需要補進一個中鋒，而且Horford會在
季後賽防守Giannis的工作上做的很好

8. In terms of Embiid: he’s said multiple times that letting Butler go was a
mistake. But my understanding is that at the time he was not insisting the
team bring Butler back. This wasn’t an example of him demanding something
and the front office ignoring it.

關於Embiid:他講過好幾次讓Butler離開是一個錯誤，但我的理解是他並沒有很堅持要球隊
把Butler帶回來，這並不是他提出要求但管理層卻忽略的例子

9. One fun anecdote: upon being told by the Sixers that they didn’t want to
pay Butler, apparently Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, went on a rant to Josh
Harris and told him he was making a huge mistake.

一個有趣的故事，當76人表明他們不想要付錢給Butler時，Butler的經紀人，Bernie Lee
對Josh Harris(76人老闆)大發雷霆表示他犯了一個巨大的錯誤

10. Lee told Harris he was breaking up a championship team, that he was
putting Simmons in a position to fail and that he’d end up having to trade
him and that he was wasting years of Embiid’s prime.

Lee告訴Harris老闆他正在把一個冠軍球隊給拆了，他把西門放在一個會失敗的位置並且76
人最終會必須要交易他，然後76人在浪費Embiid的巔峰期


更細節的就要買記者他的書了，所以他只分享到這邊


總之結論

1.從這篇來看76人是選了Horford>Butler，不過Harris拿到了5年的長約，所以Butler可
能才對他出氣吧，但真正趕Butler走的是管理層

2.Embiid雖然抱怨過很多次沒留下來Butler，但當初他沒有跟球隊要求一定要留下來

3.Butler經紀人的預言幾乎成真了
