They hired Toronto Raptors assistant coach Chris Finch as a replacement.

他們聘請了多倫多猛龍隊助教克里斯-芬奇作為替補。

Stephen A Your thoughts on this move.

史蒂芬-A你對此舉的看法。

Um, listen, Chris Finch has been around for a long time.

嗯，聽著，克里斯・芬奇已經存在很長時間了。

He was an assistant in Houston, started our careers assistant Houston, uh, the front office, Rojas said.

他是休斯敦的助理，開始我們的職業生涯助理休斯敦，呃，前臺，羅哈斯說。

In Minnesota, he was a running Houston's operation right there.

在明尼蘇達州，他是一個運行休斯頓的操作就在那裡。

So obviously their relationship goes back a long way.

所以很明顯他們的關係要追溯到很久之前。

I respect the fact that this man is given an opportunity is not like he didn't have any coaching experience whatsoever.

我尊重這個人得到機會，他又不是沒有任何執教經驗。

But you know what I'm going to lament?

但你知道我要感嘆什麼嗎？

I'm going to lament the fact that you know what, clearly there's no Rooney rule or a Bud Selig rule in play or anything like that.

我要感嘆的是，你知道嗎，明明沒有魯尼規則或者巴德-塞利格規則之類的東西在發揮作用。

So this is a guy that's on a bench in Toronto during the season and is being hired as the head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

所以這是一個賽季在多倫多坐板凳的人，被聘為明尼蘇達森林狼隊的主教練。

Um, so relationships clearly matter because obviously not enough black folks have that relationship in the league to 75 to 80% black with a plethora of coaches.

嗯，所以關係顯然很重要，因為顯然沒有足夠的黑人在聯盟中擁有這種關係，以75到80％的黑人與眾多的教練。

I'm looking at guys like Lionel Hollins and even feel handy with the Los Angeles I mean, every time every staff that Phil Handy ends up on, it seems they win a championship.

我看著像萊昂內爾-霍林斯這樣的傢伙，甚至覺得洛杉磯的手感，我的意思是，每次菲爾-漢迪結束的每個工作人員，似乎他們贏得了冠軍。

What about him?

那他呢？

I'm looking at Mike Brown and Golden State.

我看中的是邁克-布朗和金州隊。

What about him?

那他呢？

I'm looking at Nate McMillan, who was a damn good head coach in Indiana.

我看中的是Nate McMillan，他在印第安納州是個很好的主教練。

What about him?

那他呢？

He's an assistant now.

他現在是助理了。

What about him?

那他呢？

Melvin Gordon?

梅爾文-戈登？

What about him?

那他呢？

The list goes on and on and on.

諸如此類，不勝枚舉。

I got a few names here.

我這裡有幾個名字。

I see Sidney Lowe.

我看到了西德尼-洛。

I see shock Von.

我看到了震驚，馮。

I see Melvin Hunt.

我看到Melvin Hunt了

我看到泰隆-科爾賓了

I see Tony Brown.

我看到託尼・布朗了

I see Lionel Hollins.

我看到萊昂內爾・霍林斯了

Okay, I'm just looking at it.

好吧，我只是看看而已。

And I'm saying you've got a whole bunch of black coaches that have been around for a long time, starving for an opportunity, opportunity, a chance.

我說你有一大堆黑人教練，他們已經在這裡呆了很久了，餓著肚子等機會，機會，機會。

And in the middle of the season, you get rid of Ryan Saunders and you got a coach.

而在賽季中期，你擺脫了Ryan Saunders，你得到了一個教練。

They're already in play.

他們已經在玩了。

Okay, I'm just saying, Damn!

好吧，我只是說，該死的!

You know, listen, listen.

你知道，聽，聽。

Carry the credit to Kyrie, Irving, Avery, Bradley and those boys who brought it up.

把功勞記在凱里、歐文、艾弗裡、布拉德利和那些提出來的男孩身上。

Who brought attention to the issue before play in the bubble where something needed to be addressed about black coaches getting looked at in the National Basketball Association.

是誰在保麗龍賽前讓大家注意到了這個問題，在這裡需要解決黑人教練在國家籃協被看中的問題。

I applaud them for that.

我為此為他們鼓掌。

They deserve kudos for that.

他們值得點贊。

I'm going to keep doing it again.

我還要繼續做下去。

I'm paying attention to the process.

我注意的是過程。

That doesn't seem to be a definitive process that's followed when it comes toe hiring these quite coaches and bypassing these black coaches.

這似乎並沒有一個明確的流程，在聘請這些相當教練的時候，繞過這些黑人教練。

Steve Kerr has been on the record speaking against this, along with various others.

史蒂夫-科爾已經公開表示反對，還有其他各種人。

It's a damn shame that in the year 2021 we still have to talk about the unfairness and the practices of all of this.

到了2021年，我們還得談論這一切的不公平和做法，真是該死的恥辱。

But Chris Finch?

但是克里斯-芬奇？

I cannot knock the fact that he's getting this opportunity.

我不能否定他得到這個機會的事實。

It's not like he's somebody that hasn't been around or has not paid some dudes.

他又不是什麼沒來過的人，也不是沒給過一些花花公子錢。

I wish him nothing but the best.

我希望他一切都好，但最好的。

I can't condemn them for it.

我不能是以而譴責他們。

I'm just saying damn to the black coaches out there can't catch our break whatsoever.

我只是說該死的黑教練在那裡抓不住我們的突破口，什麼都沒有。

I applaud you for doing this every time A coaching hire is made, and David Vanderpool is well in Portland, you know, I'm sorry.

我為你每次聘請教練時這樣做而鼓掌，大衛-範德普爾在波特蘭很好，你知道，我很抱歉。

Another guy, David Vanderpool.

另一個人 David Vanderpool

Yeah, sure, It's a tough position to be in, because frequently the higher is a competent higher that happens to be a white guy, right?

是的，當然，這是一個艱難的位置， 因為經常上級是一個有能力的上級 恰好是一個白人，對不對？

But you have to take a step back and and look at it like you know, what are the what are those artists?

但你要退一步看，你要知道，那些什麼藝術家是什麼？

Call Stephen A.

打電話給Stephen A.

They do the dots, you know?

他們做的點，你知道嗎？

And then when you step back, you can see the picture.

然後當你退一步，你就可以看到畫面。

So each dot they put you put on you Okay, that's that's plausible.

所以他們給你打的每一個點，都會給你打上一個點 好吧，這是合理的。

That's plausible.

這是可信的。

That's possible.

這是有可能的。

And when you step back and see the picture, it's a very white picture.

而當你退後一步，看到的畫面，是一幅很白的畫面。

So I you know, I'm glad you bring it up and I got your back.

所以我... ...你知道，我很高興你提出來，我支持你。

I support I I second that that notion.

我支持我支持這個觀點。

I appreciate that, Max, By the way, I think Vanderpool is in Minnesota now.

我很感激 Max 順便說一句 我想Vanderpool現在在明尼蘇達州了

Yeah, he's I think he's right there.

是的，他... ...我想他就在那裡。

Right, Right, right.

對，對，對，對。

I'll say this.

我要說的是

This is where what I started thinking Karl Anthony Towns is is, you know, when healthy, a tremendous player.

這就是我開始認為卡爾-安東尼-唐斯是，你知道，當健康的時候，是一個巨大的球員。

But they have not won in Minnesota, and at a certain point you're gonna have toe win because there are very few Damian Lillard's in the world who say, no matter what, I'm staying here.

但他們在明尼蘇達沒有贏過，到了一定的時候，你就必須要贏，因為世界上很少有達米安-利拉德的人說，不管怎麼樣，我都要留在這裡。

And even Lillard had there was promise on the team, and I think every move you make in that franchise.

而且即使是利拉德也曾有過球隊的希望，我認為你在該加盟的每一個動作。

If you really want to keep Karl Anthony towns, you better be very careful.

如果你真的想留住卡爾-安東尼的城鎮，你最好非常小心。

Get his input and try toe.

徵求他的意見，試試腳趾。

Try to put something around him that will entice him to stay.

試著在他身邊放一些能吸引他留下來的東西。

Because no matter what he says, people have a threshold for lunatic Max.

因為無論他說什麼，人們對瘋子麥克斯都有一個門檻。

I would say this real quick before we end this segment.

在我們結束這一段之前，我想說的是，真正的快速。

Number one Karl Anthony Towns does have to be on the court.

頭號人物卡爾-安東尼-唐斯確實要上場。

I think over the last season and a half, he's only played like 45 games and we know he's been through a lot and God bless him and his family with what Cove it took from him in terms of losing his mama.

我想在過去的一個半賽季裡，他只打了45場比賽，我們知道他經歷了很多，上帝保佑他和他的家人在失去媽媽的情況下，Cove它從他身上拿走了什麼。

My heart goes out to him.

我很同情他

He's been through a lot, but he's got to get on the court.

他經歷了很多，但他必須上場。

Eso that's gonna help because he's a terrific player when he's on the court.

埃索這是會有幫助的，因為他在球場上是一個了不起的球員。

The other thing that I wanted to mention is this.

我想說的另一件事是。

You know what?

你知道嗎？

We point to these coaches and what have you.

我們指的是這些教練和你有什麼。

You know, people misconstrue what I said when I talked about white privilege and I talked about Steve Nash getting the job with the Brooklyn Nets.

你知道，人們誤解了我說的話，當我談到白人特權，我談到史蒂夫-納什得到布魯克林籃網隊的工作。

Steve Nash is doing a hell of a job.

史蒂夫-納什的工作很出色。

He deserves a lot of credit.

他應該得到很多榮譽。

Mike D'Antoni is a brilliant offensive mind, and he deserves a lot of credit for the help that he's giving them.

Mike D'Antoni是一個出色的進攻頭腦，他給他們的幫助是值得肯定的。

I've got no issues with it.

我對它沒有任何問題。

My issue wasn't about Steve Nash.

我的問題不是關於史蒂夫-納什。

My issue was about the fact that he never coached on any level and the job he inherits.

我的問題是關於他從未在任何級別上執教的事實，以及他所繼承的工作。

His first job in the business is coaching Kyrie and K D and ultimately, James Harden arriving in a trade.

他入行的第一份工作就是執教凱里和K D，最終，詹姆斯-哈登抵達交易。

Black folks don't get those opportunities, and I remember when I reported that on first take, everybody tried to misconstrue, and there's been plenty of coaches that were black that were given jobs without any coaching experience.

黑人沒有這些機會，我記得當我在第一時間報道時，每個人都試圖誤解，有很多教練是黑人，在沒有任何教練經驗的情況下被賦予工作。

I never said that didn't happen with black coaches.

我從來沒有說過黑人教練沒有發生過。

What I said was, you didn't see black coaches getting those kind of jobs.

我說的是，你沒有看到黑人教練得到那種工作。

If there's anything to celebrate today, is that the Minnesota Timberwolves stink, and the default position wasn't to give a black coach that job, which is on a track to nowhere for the immediate future, even though I got faith that they ultimately get their ships stared in the right direction.

如果說今天有什麼值得慶祝的，那就是明尼蘇達森林狼隊臭氣熏天，默認的立場是不給黑人教練這份工作，這在近期的軌道上是無處可去的，儘管我得到了信心，他們最終會把船盯在正確的方向上。

But let me get to see a black man with no coaches in Nash's, can get a job with the content of his first job and then come talk to me.

但讓我看到一個黑人在納什的沒有教練，可以用他第一份工作的內容找到一份工作，然後來和我談。

In Nash's case, that seemed like a relationship thing.

在納什的情況下，這似乎是一個關係的事情。

Like it is a relationship with the Stars.

就像它與明星的關係一樣。
