Suns' Stoudemire could end up with 76ers for Iguodala
太陽隊的Stoudemire最後將和七六人的Iguodala互換

Perhaps the biggest question coming up to the Feb. 18 trading deadline is the
fate of Amar’e Stoudemire and where he ends up. I’ve got at least one
interesting possibility.
Amare Stoudemire最後將落腳何方,應該是2.18交易截止日前最受矚目的話題.
對此,我至少有個蠻有意思的想法.
First, how much can you offer for a guy who still could opt out? Though
Stoudemire could opt in as Carlos Boozer did this season for $17.68 million.
It is considered unlikely given the expected new collective bargaining
agreement after the summer of 2011 (hopefully), which should mean, at least,
shorter contracts and perhaps reduced maximums. So most everyone figures to
try to get in under the wire this summer.
首先,你能提供多大的合約給一個仍然有機會跳脫合約的球員?即使Stoudemire就像當年的
Carlos Boozer一樣,可以選擇放棄明年1768萬的合約(投入自由球員市場),如果你審慎思
考後,會發現這讓你很難對2011年夏天的自由市場保持樂觀.(hopefully:祈禱Amare放棄球
員選項吧!!)
至少這就意味著,較短的合約和盡量清出薪資空間才是眾所期盼的,所以幾乎所有的球隊都
努力在為今年夏天,留下足夠的薪資空間.
Stoudemire sitting out in the fourth quarter last week as the Suns rallied to
beat Dallas probably was a good hint his time is Phoenix is limited. He
actually has mentioned interest in the Nets, so he’s not exactly worried
about winning. They do have a lot of players, sort of. Yi Jianlian? Nah. The
Suns don’t need more soft guys who don’t defend. Maybe Courtney Lee. Maybe
Devin Harris to succeed Steve Nash, though the Suns like their Goran Dragic.
上禮拜太陽隊指跌回升,擊敗小牛隊的比賽中,Stoudemire第四節被放在板凳上,這似乎是對
他在太陽隊的表現空間受到壓縮,一個很明顯的徵兆.
籃網隊老實說,對Stoudemire相當有興趣,在那裡他不會有勝敗的壓力,而且籃網隊有許多可
供交易的球員,例如說,易建聯?不,太陽一點不都缺太軟又不(會)防守的球員.
或者,Courtney Lee或Devin Harris怎樣?Harris可以來當Steve Nash的接班人,即使太陽對
Goran Dragic很滿意.(暗指Dragic不夠好,或者至少和Harris是不同等級的球員)
I can see something with the 76ers, as there’s widespread talk of moving
former University of Arizona star Andre Iguodala, who could return to the
desert, say, with someone like Samuel Dalembert, who’s long been available
and would fit the Suns defensive needs. I guess Stoudemire could play center
in the East. But with Elton Brand? I don’t know.
我也聽到一些關於七六人的消息,他們在私底下試著想把陣中的前Arizona大學球星Andre
Iguodala交易出去,那樣正好,就讓Iguodala回Arizona吧.七六人可以把一直想交易掉,剛
好符合太陽隊防守需求的Samuel Dalembert一起打包.
我認為Stoudemire可以在東區打中鋒,但能不能跟Elton Brand有良好的搭配,這點就難說
了.
But here’s my shocker: Gilbert Arenas to the 76ers as well?
不過,接下來我有個特別的想法(my shocker):Gilbert Arenas到七六人隊如何?
Call it a shot in the dark.
這就像黑暗中忽然出現的一道強光.
This is here’s why: One of the hottest rumors floating around the NBA is
former super agent David Falk could be in line to take a prominent role with
the Wizards once the sale is completed from the Pollin family. Falk, who
represented Michael Jordan and once was the game’s preeminent agent, has
been looking for a way to increase his role in the NBA and long has talked
about running a team. The joke long around the NBA was that Falk always
believed he was running teams because he’d always propose trades to reshape
teams with his players. It’s the natural extension he’s long been seeking,
and he is a Washington fixture with his business there.
原因如下:有個最新出爐的的傳聞提到,如果Pollin family順利將巫師隊轉手,前NBA大牌
經紀人David Falk將在新的經營團隊中扮演非常重要的角色.身為Michael Jordan的代表(
經紀人),又曾經是最出色的經紀人之一,Falk一直想提昇自己在聯盟中的影響力,這意味著
想辦法去主導一支球隊.
有個流傳很久的笑話是這樣說的,Falk一向都認為自己掌握了很多球隊,因為他常常透過旗
下的球員交易,讓不同的球隊改頭換面.
所以囉,既然這是Falk一直念茲在茲的事,而且他的生意也跟Washington緊密到分不開了.
(作者在這邊用Washington fixture來調侃Falk,暗指他死黏著巫師隊不放)
Falk doesn’t have many clients anymore, but still represents Brand. The talk
is if Falk gets in, it’s to help remake the team, and taking on Brand would
simplify the Arenas situation. Brand has played better of late, though the
76ers supposedly would love to move his deal. For the Wizards, they wouldn’t
have to fight the union and the negative of going after the contract they
gave out.
Falk的客戶所剩無幾,但他仍然是Brand的經紀人.傳聞說,只要Falk成為新巫師經營團隊的
一員,他將會大力整頓球隊,而在Arenas烏煙瘴氣的情況下,選擇Brand明顯簡單許多,Brand
的表現一直都不錯,即使在七六人有意兜售他的合約之後.
對巫師來說,(換來Brand)這就使得他們毋須再跟聯盟對抗,也不用在為了和Arenas的合約
受罪.(Arenas合約到2014年,最後一年是2200萬)
The 76ers could sell a remake of their franchise around Arenas running the
pick and roll with Stoudemire and perhaps bring some excitement back to the
team. And the Wizards could begin making changes with one of the game’s
classiest guys in Brand and perhaps also pry a nice piece out of the 76ers,
maybe point guard Jrue Holiday. Though I’m not sure coach Eddie Jordan would
be so happy about seeing Gilbert again. I know, details, details. But the
atmosphere and team morale in Philadelphia is spiraling out of control and a
major shakeup is obvious.
七六人可以將Arenas+選秀權一起打包去談Stoudemire的交易,說不定還能有其他意外的收
穫.
而巫師除了得到Brand這樣的明星球員(classiest guys)之外,也有可能從七六人多拿回一
點甜頭,例如控球後衛Jrue Holiday之類的球員.
雖然我不確定七六人隊總教練Eddie Jordan會樂於再次見到Arenas.
不過,我暸,這都是枝微末節的事.
但七六人目前的球隊氣氛和鬥志都一蹋糊塗了,需要好好的提振一下(shakeup)卻是非常顯
而易見的.
The 76ers, Wizards and Suns seem like the franchises most ready for major
overhauls, and maybe it begins that way.
七六人,巫師和太陽隊,似乎是最需要重新整頓的幾支球隊,或許,這會是個不錯的開始.

Heat’s struggles could make Wade re-consider his future
熱火不上不下的狀況,應該會讓Wade重新思考自己的未來.
......(中略)
The Windhorst column effectively makes the point to James to stay where you
are because even with Miami having an owner much wealthier than the Cavs
owner, look how frugal the Heat is? But turn around and look at the Bulls.
With Derrick Rose, now an All-Star, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Taj Gibson and
Kirk Hinrich it’s questionable if either the Cavs or Heat now have a player—
other than James and Wade, of course—who could start for the Bulls. And when
the Bulls were winning championships, they did have the biggest payroll in
the NBA. The Bulls see the Heat and Wade Saturday for the first time in
Chicago, and perhaps Wade will take a good, hard look again at Chicago and
the Bulls.
ESPN的記者Windhorst在他的專欄裡為了LBJ應該留在騎士隊,提出非常強而有力的論述,即
使熱火有比騎士更好的老闆也一樣.
看看熱火隊現在是什麼鳥樣?
但讓我們回頭瞧瞧公牛隊,Derrick Rose-現在是明星球員了,再加上Joakim Noah, Luol
Deng, Taj Gibson和Kirk Hinrich的陣容.
而騎士或熱火除了Wade和LBJ之外,*有任何搬得上檯面的球員嗎(能排進公牛隊的先發陣容
)?況且以往公牛隊在連霸時期,對於投資(明星)球員的薪水是決不手軟的.
禮拜六,將是熱火隊和Wade本季首度作客芝加哥,或許Wade應該再好好的,認真的看看這支
球隊.
*(這邊作者寫得有點誇張了,過於貶低另兩隊的球員,但考慮到他是牛迷,勉強可以理解)

Lakers in need of help at the point
湖人隊需要在控球後衛做出補強
-- Kobe Bryant pulled that one out Sunday afternoon for the Lakers, but they
are no sure championship favorite with a poor point guard situation. Rajon
Rondo makes a lot of teams look bad. But he brutalized the Lakers and Jordan
Farmar isn’t much help to Derek Fisher. Would they pay, in effect, $18
million for Kirk Hinrich, which has been one rumor. That’s what it would
cost the Lakers for Hinrich’s contract with their luxury tax status. The
Bulls aren’t shopping Hinrich around, but if they get to the trade deadline
and haven’t moved a contract, they could be forced to make a deal. If you
are Chicago, you absolutely cannot go into the summer without the cap space
to offer at least one max deal. Thus far, all I’ve heard is the Lakers want
to “get off” money and reduce their payroll. As for the Celtics, it’s all
about KG. He’s still talking, but he no longer can back it up. He’s over
43,000 minutes in his career, about where the likes of Michael Jordan and
Scottie Pippen were when their bodies gave way. Then you factor in Boston’s
loss Sunday as well as losing to the young Hawks for the fourth straight time
this season. Look, the deal was still well worth it. It got them a title. But
it’s probably over now and they should deal Ray Allen’s expiring contract
to begin retooling. Will they?
-- Kobe在禮拜天晚上帶領球隊擊敗塞爾提克隊,但對於一支冠軍球隊來說,控球後衛的戰
力不佳聽起來似乎不太妙.Rajon Rondo常讓很多球隊都顏面無光,可是他在痛宰Derek
Fisher的時候,Jordan Farmar似乎也幫不上什麼忙.
他們(Lakers)真的會像傳聞說的那樣,願意付1800萬給Kirk Hinrich嗎?這會讓湖人隊的薪
資總額超過豪華稅的門檻.
公牛隊並未到處兜售Hinrich,但如果到了交易截止日,仍然沒有任何動作,他們可能就必須
完成最少一項交易.
如果你是公牛隊,你絕不會想在夏天自由市場開市的時候,卻沒有足夠的薪資空間去談至少
一張的頂級合約.
到目前為止,我得到的消息是湖人想少花錢並節省他們的薪資空間.
對塞爾提克來說,關鍵依然在KG身上,他還是那個KG,但已經沒辦法跟以前一樣無所不能了.
在生涯出賽超過43000分鐘之後,KG的體能狀況也開始下滑了,如同Jordan和Pippen遇到的
狀況那樣.
把KG的因素考慮進去,難怪塞爾提克會在禮拜天晚上輸給湖人,又在本季對上年輕力壯的老
鷹隊時遭遇四連敗.
看起來,KG的合約還算值得,因為他帶領球隊拿下總冠軍.但似乎有點超過負荷了(薪資總額
),他們應該將Ray Allen的到期合約處理掉,開始考慮重建的問題.
他們會這樣做嗎?

NBA news and notes
-- Derrick Rose is a lock to be among some two dozen players announced as
part of the USA team roster on All-Star weekend. Rose also stands a good
chance to be among the final 12 with some of the free agents, like Dwyane
Wade, uncertain about participating. … Quietly finally beginning to
establish himself as a high level center—though the Bulls know it the way he
’s played against them—is the Bucks Andrew Bogut, who averaged 17.3 points,
11.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in January. … How about Cavs coach Mike Brown
ripping Derrick Rose’s selection to the All-Star team. Brown suggested
players on teams with losing records shouldn’t be All-Stars, and Rose’s
Bulls had the worst record and were below .500 when the coaches’ voting for
reserves ended last week. Said Brown to the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “It is
unfortunate (Mo Williams wasn’t selected). I'm a firm believer in record
having something to do with it. There are talented guys in this business who
can be put in situations to go do what they want… there's not as much
pressure on guys to perform the right way and get numbers."
-- Derrick Rose入選為明星賽的一員,同時他也有很好的機會和一些尚未確定的自由球員
,在未來成為隊友,例如Dwyane Wade.或像公鹿隊的Andrew Bogut.
Bogut透過和公牛隊的對抗讓他們發現,他正默默的成長為更好的中鋒,一月平均得17.3分
11.3個籃板球,外加2.3次火鍋.
騎士隊總教練Mike Brown對Derrick Rose入選明星賽非常有意見(ripping),他建議,所屬
球隊戰績不好就不該被選進明星賽,Rose所率領的公牛隊,在上禮拜各隊教練票選明星球員
時,*不但戰績最糟糕,勝率也不到五成.
Brown告訴克里夫蘭據實報(Cleveland Plain Dealer)說:"很遺憾Mo Williams沒入選明星
賽,我確信戰積的好壞應該被納入考量." "聯盟裡有那麼多充滿天份的球員夠格入選明星
賽,如同他們所盼的那樣... 這並不是我們所樂見選擇明星球員的(正確)方式"
*Mike Brown這邊說公牛隊"had the worst record"是言過其實了,上週投票的時候公牛勝
率是不到5成,也輸掉作客西區的前兩場比賽,但在中央組還是比公鹿溜馬活塞好,只輸給騎
士隊,絕對稱不上the worst record.
