Strike two in the Trail Blazers summer arrived Thursday evening when the Utah Jazz said they will match the Blazers' four-year, $32 million offer to Paul Millsap, allowing the Jazz to retain the services of the power forward. 爵士跟進了拓荒者對 Millsap 四年3200萬的報價 Millsap is the Blazers' second attempt at a free agent that went awry. On July 3, forward Hedo Turkoglu turned his back on the Blazers' five-year, $50 million offer to sign a five-year, $53 million deal with Toronto. Millsap 是第二個讓拓荒者被打槍的自由球員第一個是五年5000萬搶輸暴龍五年5300萬的 Hedo Turkoglu Utah announced its decision on the team website, and both newspapers in Salt Lake City reported that sources revealed the team would match the Blazers offer. The Jazz had seven days to match the Blazers' offer, a deadline that expired at midnight tonight (Friday). 猶他已經在鹽湖城網站和報紙宣布match拓荒者的offer Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard did not return a phone message Thursday night, and a Blazers spokesperson declined to comment, saying the reports were speculation. KP 沒回電話，拓荒者發言人拒絕評論 Utah had consistently said it would match any offer to Millsap, providing it wasn't out of reason. The Blazers tried to threaten that threshold with a deal that was structured to give Millsap $10.3 million up front, due within seven days after the contract was signed. 猶他一貫表示會match Millsap的合約就算拓荒者故意開出首年10.3M的合約想嚇跑爵士也沒用 Utah made the decision knowing that, for the moment at least, Millsap's contract pushes them well over the $69 million luxury tax threshold, which penalizes teams a dollar for every dollar over the threshold. Utah's roster is now at $80 million, more than $11 million over the threshold, meaning Jazz ownership faces a $22 million luxury tax. However, the Jazz is still attempting to trade Carlos Boozer and his $12.75 million salary. 猶他知道這決定將使球隊薪資超出69M的豪華稅開徵線目前由他球隊薪資已達80M，超出了11M，要付22M豪華稅然而爵士試圖交易掉 Carlos Boozer 的12.75M合約 Where the Blazers turn now is uncertain. They remain $7.7 million under the salary cap, and there are factions within the management team that are pushing for Pritchard to stay put and save the cap space for the season, when the team can execute a financially uneven trade anytime before the February trading deadline. 拓荒者新目標轉向誰還不清楚，目前的薪資空間是 7.7M 目前有一派的意思是讓 KP 保留薪資空間到二月的交易截止大限前來操作 Pritchard himself has tried to promote the idea that a transaction-less summer is not the worst thing in the world, considering the Blazers won 54 games last season and have nothing but improving young players returning. Among those returning will be Martell Webster, a former starter who missed nearly all of last season with a foot injury. KP自己也是少交易不是世上最壞的事的意見者考慮到拓荒者上季拿下了54勝，只要年輕球員有進步球隊實力就有進步其中原本表定的先發SF Martell Webster 也將從腳傷後歸陣 Still, Pritchard has a reputation for being proactive, and he has admitted in the past that it is difficult for him to sit on his hands. Nearly three weeks into the free agent period, however, there are but a few attractive players remaining. Among those previously on the Blazers radar are forward Lamar Odom, point guard Raymond Felton and point guard Andre Miller. Felton is a restricted free agent with Charlotte. KP 一樣是有積極主動的聲譽，他自己也承認過去不得閒然而在近三個禮拜的自由市場搏殺後，只剩下少少一些有吸引力的球員前鋒 Lamar Odom、控衛 Raymond Felton、控衛 Andre Miller Felton 還是山貓的受限制自由球員 Notes: Blazers guard Brandon Roy has withdrawn from next week's Team USA mini-camp in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Roy is still seeking to sign a contract extension with the Blazers. Roy is asking for a four-year deal, with a player option for a fifth season, for the maximum amount allowed, which is estimated to be around $82 million. "Dialogue with the Portland organization continues, but unfortunately we have nothing new to report,'' said Bob Myers, Roy's agent. Notes: Roy 尋求一紙有第五年球員選項的頂薪合約，兩邊持續談判對話 Roy 的經紀人表示沒新消息可以說來源：http://0rz.tw/BoEAp -- 該篇文章有投票拓荒者是否該簽 Odom，目前 "Yes" 52% "No" 48% -- ╔ Greg Oden LaMarcus Aldridge Martell Webster Brandon Roy Jerryd Bayless ╗ ║ ████████████████████████████████████ ║ ★ 「RISE WITH US」 Let's back to RIP CITY!「GO BLAZERS!」 ★ ║ ████████████████████████████████████ ║ ╚ Joel Przybilla Travis Outlaw Nicolas Batum Rudy Fernandez Steve Blake ╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 221.169.172.177
