The mystery around the NBA is where Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard will turn after being spurned by free agent Hedo Turkoglu on Friday. KP 我真是猜不透你阿 Early indications are he has talked to representatives regarding free agents Andre Miller and David Lee, while also calling Charlotte to rekindle trade talks that stalled in February regarding Bobcats small forward Gerald Wallace. 一開始有風聲說要找Andre Miller和David Lee談談後來又有消息傳出想找山貓交易G. Wallace Still, those talks appear to have led to dead ends, and certainly nothing serious, leaving nobody with a feel for Pritchard's master plan. 到目前來看都沒有成行所以沒人知道KP的下一步想幹嘛 "I'm good at a lot of things, but prying into the mind of Kevin Pritchard is not one of them," said agent Andy Miller, who represents key free agents Andre Miller and Antonio McDyess, as well as Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez. "I have no idea what he's up to." 某經紀人說:我對很多事都很在行但是就是搞不懂KP的內心在想什麼Orz The biggest insight into Pritchard's mindset came Monday, when a team source revealed that the Blazers are most likely to pull away from the free agent market and use their cap space to execute an financially uneven trade. 現在有消息傳出KP要從FA市場上抽手拿薪資空間來做交易 Teams under the league salary cap - and the Blazers expect to be $7 million to $8 million under when the cap is announced today or Wednesday - are not required to match salaries of the players involved. For instance, the Blazers can acquire a player making $10 million by using their $7 million cap space and sending a player making $3 million to the other team. 解釋交易規則跳過 Many think the Blazers are in the market for a starting point guard, a dynamic small forward or a backup power forward. Turkoglu was a dynamic, multi-faceted small forward who was close to signing with the Blazers before electing to agree with Toronto. 拓荒者在找先發PG,SG以及替補PF Turkoglu莫在提 Since the stunning reversal Friday evening, the Blazers have been active, according to agents around the league. Andy Miller said the Blazers first inquired about Andre Miller shortly after the free agent market opened July 1, but then the dialogue ceased. After the Turkoglu deal fell through, his phone line lit up again. 跳過總之有撥電話給Miller經紀人 "I talked to him more this weekend than I have since the start," Miller said of Pritchard. "I talked to him Saturday and Sunday, but not (Monday)." Mark Bartelstein, who represents Lee, said Pritchard took the same approach with him - talking briefly with him on July 1, then more frequent calls after the Turkoglu deal flopped. Bartelstein said the Blazers are interested in Lee, a 6-foot-9 power forward/center, even though he plays positions where the Blazers appear well-stocked, with LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla. Lee的經紀人也說KP也找他聊過 "I don't think they operate like everyone else, where they have to fit everyone into a hole," Bartelstein said of the Blazers. "They work to acquire great, young players and they make it work. And that's what I think they are doing, trying to get the best players they can. And if (Pritchard) has an over-abundance of bigs? That's a good position to be in in the NBA." 跳過 A Blazers source shot down the team's interest in Lee, saying they like him as a player, but don't want to pay him what he wants. And a source in Charlotte said the Bobcats are staunchly against trading Wallace, whom they view as a building block for the team's future. 拓荒者對Lee有興趣但不想over-paid 山貓堅決反對交易G. Wallace (代表KP也跟山貓談過) That left Andre Miller as the only known scenario that still had legs. Miller, a 33-year-old point guard who played in Philadelphia last season, is viewed as an old-school point guard, one who passes before he shoots and excels at running the offense. 這樣看來只剩下山貓還有可能簽了 Miller averaged 16.3 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds last season, shooting 47.3 percent from the field, but only 28.3 percent from three-point range. Early in the free agent period there were rumors of a sign-and-trade with Philadelphia that would have sent Miller to the Blazers for Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw, but Andy Miller said his discussions this weekend did not include sign-and-trade scenarios. 一開始說有可能用先簽後換的方式 Blake + Outlaw <---> Miller 但Miller的經紀人說他們這週末只有討論直接簽沒有討論到先簽後換 "We talked about the direction of the team, the different roles players would have," Miller said. 有談論到球隊的方向以及球員的定位 (好像談的還蠻深入的@@) It is unclear where the Blazers stand on Miller, but his agent left no question how he feels about Miller playing in Portland. Miller經紀人覺得Miller在拓荒者打球ok "It's a good fit, and I think Andre Miller puts them over the top," Andy Miller said. "They desperately need a starting point guard to take the pressure off Brandon Roy. Andre would be able to control the floor and give that team better direction in the open court. It's their team, and they've made great progress, but at some point, you have to make a leap forward." Miller很適合拓荒者 http://0rz.tw/E7pBJ 總結:KP一直都默默在檯面下做事^^ 靜觀其變吧最佳總管可不是叫假的 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 192.192.90.48
