Bulls believe they have filled big-man spot http://tinyurl.com/39ht6e4 With Kurt Thomas accepting a deal for just more than the veteran's minimum of $1.35 million late Thursday, the Bulls still possess roughly $3 million of salary-cap space with 11 players under contract. 在以老將底薪資略多的 135 萬簽下 Kurt Thomos 之後，公牛目前簽約的球員來到 11 名。在薪資上限內，也還有約 300 萬的餘額。 Team sources said the Bulls still definitely will add another shooting guard and possibly a third backup point guard and one more minimum-salaried big man. One source said it's likely the Bulls will carry 13 players to open the season, but 14 remains possible. 球隊消息說，公牛仍會增加一名的 SG 或三號 PG，外加一名底薪的大個，將可能帶著13 或14名的球員開季。 Though Derrick Rose told reporters in Las Vegas he thinks Tracy McGrady could help the Bulls — and McGrady is openly lobbying to land here on his Twitter account — some are still framing his imminent workout for Bulls brass as due diligence. 雖說 Rose 在 Las Vegas 向記者表明，T-Mac 可對公牛有所幫助，而且他本人也公開地在 Twitter 上對加入公牛進行遊說；一般認為，即將在公牛做的測試是一種義務評鑑。 McGrady is a seven-time All-Star, but he had microfracture surgery on his left knee in February 2009 and played just 24 games last season. He also carries a reputation as a ball stopper who prefers halfcourt play and often is disinterested in defense, qualities that would seem to run counter to Tom Thibodeau's stated goals for next season. McGrady 是七屆的 All-Star，但去年二月才動了膝部手術，球季也只打了 24 場。他仍帶著半場黏球打法、又不喜歡防守的標籤，性質似乎和總教練 Tom Thibodeau 所說的下季目標相反。 Other shooting guard targets include Keith Bogans, who started 50 games for the Western Conference power Spurs last season, and former Bull Roger Mason Jr. 其他的 SG 目標，分別是前馬刺先發 50 場的 Keith Bogans 和前公牛 Roger Mason Jr。 Though he struggled mightily last season and suffered a knee injury this summer, it's also not inconceivable for Jannero Pargo to return given the organization's familiarity with him, his cohesive locker room presence and his mentorship to Ronnie Brewer, a fellow Arkansas alum. 雖在上季打得極其掙札，而且在今夏動了膝部手術，但也不難想見，Jannero Pargeo 若回歸，可帶來的是球團的親切感、休息室的凝聚力、Ronnie Brewer 的導師和 Arkansas 的校友。 If the Bulls do decide to add a third point guard, John Lucas III's strong showing in summer league could help him draw consideration as an affordable addition. 若是公牛決定要增加三號 PG，John Lucas III 在夏季聯盟的堅強表現，會是球隊可考慮的簽約目標。 As for Thomas, 37, he will add a physical presence and strong locker room professionalism no matter how many minutes he plays. The 6-foot-9 15-year veteran forward is scheduled to arrive in Chicago Sunday and take his physical and sign his contract Monday. 至於 37 歳的 Thomas，不論上場時間有多少，都將增加禁區的強度和休息室的專業指導。這名 6呎9吋、15年經驗的資深前鋒，預計週日抵達芝加哥，週一健檢和簽約。 That he has played in 89 playoff games — including seven solid starts for the injured Andrew Bogut with the Bucks last season — and owns five seasons of familiarity with coach Tom Thibodeau from their shared Knicks days has management confident it has replaced Brad Miller ably. 他打過了 89場季後賽，其中包括去年在公鹿頂替受傷的 Bogut，完成 7場紮實的先發工作。再加上和總教練在尼克共事了五年，在在讓管理層自信，Thomas 已巧妙地取代了 Brad Miller。 --------------------------------------------------- 關鍵字： Tracy McGrady Keith Bogans Roger Mason Jr. Jannero Pargo John Lucas III 各位選誰呢？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.125.89.246
