原文：http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=9656 Portland Trail Blazers....The Grade So Far Imagine the Portland Trail Blazers in the playoffs next season. Imagine Greg Oden and Rudy Fernandez battling it out for NBA Rookie of the Year honors. Imagine Brandon Roy heading to his second-straight All-Star Game. Imagine this is merely the start of something much bigger. 想像下季波特蘭拓荒者打進季後賽，想像Greg Oden和Rudy Fernandez競爭年度最佳新人，想像Brandon Roy連續兩年獲選進全明星賽，想像這只是美好未來的開頭而已。 These are the hopes in Portland. 波特蘭充滿著希望 After finishing 41-41 last year, just shy of the postseason in the Western Conference, the Blazers are eager to build upon what is easily a solid foundation based on polished character and endless talent. And this summer Portland adds another level by boasting a rookie foursome of Oden, Fernandez, Jerryd Bayless and Nicolas Batum. While it may be pre-emptive to crown the Portland Trail Blazers the next great NBA dynasty while still in these formative years, it's not farfetched to say they are a legit roster with obtainable playoff aspirations. 結束去年41勝-41負之後，顧慮要在西區打進季後賽，拓荒者積極地打造一支擁有良好球員個性和無盡天份的堅固球隊，這夏天波特蘭因為加進Oden、Fernandez、Jerryd Bayless 、Nicolas Batum等四人，有望升級戰力。 Imagine that. 想像吧.. Players Added In Free Agency 自由球員市場補強 None 無 Grade: Incomplete 分數：不予置評 The Blazers have made more news with the free agent they lost instead of those they've gained. James Jones – who ranked third in the league in three-point percentage (44%) last year, while also missing 24 games with a bad knee – signed with the Miami HEAT, essentially leaving a void in Portland's roster. Certainly the arrival of Spanish import and shooting guard Rudy Fernandez this season will help fill that gap, yet losing James' locker room leadership and on-court savviness shouldn't be overlooked. On the flip side, Portland has remained still in the open market this summer. There were rumors of the Blazers inquiring about Chicago free agent forward Loul Deng (who will remain with the Bulls), and according to sources close to the situation it was more of a legit discussion between the Blazers and Deng's camp than just actual hearsay. But nonetheless, General Manager Kevin Pritchard has decided to play his cards close to his chest this summer in free agency. The summer of 2009 and 2010 – with those impressive free agent crops of All-Star marquee names - is apparently the focus right instead. 拓荒者在自由球員市場新聞，損失的比得到的多。James Jones，這位去年聯盟三分第三準的球員(44%)，同時因為膝傷缺賽了24場，最後和熱火簽約，在球員名單上空出了一個空間。無疑地來自西班牙的得分後衛Rudy Fernandez，這季將填補這個空缺，但是失去 James在更衣室的領導和在場上的理解力，不能被忽視。另外波特蘭在這夏天仍然對自由球員市場有興趣，有消息傳出拓荒者有詢問過芝加哥的自由球員前鋒Loul Deng(將續留公牛隊)，根據來源指出，拓荒者和Deng陣營的討論不只是空穴來風而已，但是最後GM Kevin Pritchard仍決定這夏天在自由球員市場按兵不動，2009-2010的夏天的那群包括全明星等級的自由球員，將成為替代的目標。 Players Acquired In Draft 選秀得到的球員 Jerryd Bayless: 11th overall selection by the Indiana Pacers. Acquired in draft night trade along with Ike Diogu for the rights of Brandon Rush (13th overall pick) Jarrett Jack and Josh McRoberts. Jerryd Bayless：11順位被溜馬選中後和Ike Diogu，用Brandon Rush(13順位)加Jarrett Jack和Josh McRoberts換來 Nicolas Batum: 25th overall selection by the Houston Rockets. Rights acquired for rights to 27th overall selection Darrell Arthur and 33rd overall selection Joey Dorsey. Nicolas Batum：25順位被火箭選中後，用27順位選中的Darrell Arthur和33順位選中的 Joey Dorsey換來 Grade: B+ 分數：B+ It was another interesting and active draft night for Portland. Looking back on the Blazers wheeling and dealing, it's clear they accomplished their goals at hand: move up in the draft and trim some fat along the way. Although Portland had five draft picks to work with on draft night, they improved their deep backcourt by acquiring Bayless who possesses the aggressiveness Portland often lacked last season. The 6-3 point guard capturing MVP honors at the Las Vegas Summer League - while also being selected to the USA Select Team - is reason enough to believe Pritchard made the right move on draft night. It will be interesting to see how head coach Nate McMillan uses his rookie next year. Look for Bayless to earn his keep. 又是波特蘭另一個有趣又活躍的選秀夜，回顧拓荒者如何玩弄手段，明白地他們達到了手中的目標：提升選秀順位，一路調整策略。然而雖然波特蘭在選秀夜上有五個選秀權可以用，他們得到Bayless增進了後場的深度，他擁有上季波特蘭缺少的侵略性。這6呎 3吋的後衛在拉斯維加斯夏季聯盟中，得到了MVP的榮耀，也被選進靶子隊中，有足夠理由相信Pritchard在選秀夜中做出正確的決定。看總教練Nate McMillan今年如何使用他的菜鳥球員將很有趣，看Bayless是否可以爭取到他的信任。 Batum is the other rookie addition in Portland this season (Fernandez and Oden notwithstanding) and it's hard not to slap the "project" tag on the 19-year-old French forward. It's true the Blazers were enamored with his workout in Portland before the draft. He's lanky, agile, plays solid defense and has a nice stroke. Yet it's also true his showing at summer league flashed signs that patience will be the key in this kid's development. Nevertheless, Portland inked the first rounder weeks ago bringing the Blazers roster to 14 with one roster spot remaining. But for Batum next year will likely be a mixture of watching and learning and perhaps even frequent trips to the Blazers NBDL affiliate – the Idaho Stampede. Batum是波特蘭另一個今年加進來的菜鳥(Fernandez和Oden也還是)，很難評論這19歲法國前鋒的未來計畫。拓荒者在選秀前的試訓就喜歡上他，他瘦長、敏捷、不錯的防守和好的打法，但是他在夏季聯賽中的表現也著實令人了解，必須耐心培養這孩子的發展。不過波特蘭數星期前仍把他簽下來，成為隊上第14位有約球員，只剩一個空位，但是下季對Batum來說，必須多看多學，甚至可能得在NBDL多多磨練一下。 Players Acquired Via Trade 交易得到的球員 Ike Diogu: The steal however of the Bayless trade with the Pacers should be Ike Diogu. A former ninthoverall pick in 2005, Diogu has been underexposed both at Golden State and Indiana, but there is a real opportunity for him to contribute in Portland's lowpost. At 6-9 and 250 pounds Diogu gives the Blazers that rough and rugged rebounder that's been missing in Nate McMillan's lineup. Ike Diogu：和溜馬交易Bayless的一偷必定是Ike Diogu，2005年第九順位，Diogu在勇士和溜馬都沒啥曝光機會，但是對他來說這是個好機會，可以提供波特蘭一個低位戰力。6呎9吋加250磅的Diogu，可以提供拓荒者堅固的籃板粗活，這是Nate McMillan名單中缺乏的。 Grade: B 分數：B Business To Be Done Now that Batum is signed, this still leaves one roster spot open. Portland can go one of two ways here. They can reward Petteri Koponen, the 6-4 Finnish point guard, for his stellar play in Las Vegas this summer or Portland can choose to leave the roster open, even with the off-chance to pick up a player who clears waivers as the start of training camp draws near. The trouble with adding Kopenen is where does he fit in? Portland already has three point guards, and that's not considering Brandon Roy could also see significant minutes at the point. Does Portland bring him over to gain NBA experience by way of the NBDL? Do they stow him in Europe knowing negotiating another European contract buy out is inevitable? One thing is for certain: If Kopenen isn't the 15th man in Portland a club in Europe will make him a top priority. 目前Batum簽下來後，還剩下一個位置，波特蘭可以有兩種方案，獎勵6呎4吋的芬蘭控球後衛Petteri Koponen，在拉斯維加斯夏季聯賽上的顯著表現，或是波特蘭可以選擇空下這個名額，甚至揮棄訓練營開始中撿進的球員。問題出在若把Koponen加進來後，他有打哪個位置？波特蘭已經有三個控球後衛了，這是還沒考慮Brandon Roy明顯也要占據PG上的時間。波特蘭要讓他在NBDL上學習NBA的經驗嗎？還是暫留他在歐洲，去談一份必然有買斷條款的合約？只有一件事可以確定，假如Koponen無法成為波特蘭球隊的第15人，待在歐洲會是他第一的選擇。 Total Offseason Grade: A 總分：A Rookie point guard Jerryd Bayless was another great draft pick-up by GM Kevin Pritchard. But will Portland's decision to not add a seasoned veteran via free agency come back to haunt the Blazers this coming season, or is this all part of the long-term master plan? All that aside, Portland's offseason has been truly impressive without even considering the draft or free agency. Heading into camp with both Greg Oden and Rudy Fernandez on the roster is reason enough for this passing grade. 菜鳥控球Jerryd Bayless是GM Kevin Pritchard另一個不錯的選秀，但是拓荒者決定不從自由球員市場帶回一名有經驗的老鳥，會不會困擾拓荒者這球季？還是這只是長遠計畫中的一部分？不管如何，波特蘭休賽期間就算不考慮選秀和自由球員，就已經令人印象深刻了，球隊有了Greg Oden和Rudy Fernandez加進陣容之中，已經有足夠理由得到這個分數。 -- ╔ Greg Oden LaMarcus Aldridge Martell Webster Brandon Roy Jerryd Bayless ╗ ║ ████████████████████████████████████ ║ ★ 「RISE WITH US」 Let's back to RIP CITY!「GO BLAZERS!」 ★ ║ ████████████████████████████████████ ║ ╚ Joel Przybilla Channing Frye Travis Outlaw Rudy Fernandez Steve Blake ╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 221.169.172.177
