https://reurl.cc/gvn2N https://www.peachtreehoops.com/ In a down market for players, options remain for Atlanta With the Jeremy Lin trade completed on Friday, the Atlanta Hawks have used the majority of their 2018 cap space. There will be plenty of speculation and rumors about another potential deal, perhaps including incumbent starter Dennis Schröder, but for now, the Hawks are left with between $7.7 million and $10.4 million in cap space and no open roster spots, though Jaylen Morris and Antonius Cleveland can be waived to create a regular-season slot. 隨著周五交易來Jeremy Lin後，現老鷹已用了2018年大部分薪資空間有關其它潛在交易會有很多猜測和傳聞，或許還包含現任先發球員德軟，但就目前而言，老鷹薪資空間目前還剩約770萬到1040萬之間，且不算目前原陣容可能會動到的球員這部分，也就是說還可以裁掉Jaylen Morris和Antonius Cleveland 來增加點薪資空間以剩餘薪資空間作市場交易操作以備戰下個賽季。 It’s unlikely that Atlanta will use the majority of this space, as they’ll want to hold back a few million to facilitate a trade later in the season to pick up some additional future draft assets. Still, opportunities remain for general manager Travis Schlenk to identify an underrated talent on the free agent market and perhaps lock that player up to a three- or four-year contract using some of their remaining space 而老鷹到時不太可能會用完大部分薪資空間，因為他們希望能先留個幾百萬等賽季進行晚些時候在來繼續操作交易賺籤。儘管如此，GM Schlenk現在還是有機會在自由球員市場上找到被低估的球員，真找到後或許還可能用他們剩餘的一些空間跟該球員簽三年或四年合約。 A major factor in Schlenk’s favor is the dilapidated 2018 free agency market. After massive contracts were given out left and right in 2016 and relatively small cap jumps the past two years, there aren’t very many teams out there with significant spending power, leading to a depression in wages across the market. Many players who were expected to receive somewhere in the high single-digits are instead settling for the minimum, whereas some who were looking for $20 million per season are finding the mid-level exception the best they can do. This has led to more one- and two-year deals than many are used to seeing in July, as teams and players are both trying to keep their options open for 2019 and beyond, when there will be more available money and more high-end free agents available to take that money. Whether this is an advantage to the teams or players remains to be seen, but the fact of the matter is that many free agents still available this late in the process will also want those one- or two-year deals in order to sign a better deal in the coming years. Schlenk會這樣操作交易的一個最主要原因是今年自由球員市場買氣冷。在2016年前後一些球員簽了巨額薪資合約且在過去兩年後CBA規定薪資空間又變小，因而現在大部分球隊不敢在這樣隨便亂灑大錢，導致現在整個自由球員市場買氣冷。也因此許多球員預期此市情買氣冷也只能接受拿一年高薪短約來渡過今年市場寒冬，而那些在尋求年薪2000萬的球員現在卻發現今年他們能拿到最好的只有 the mid-level exception 中產薪資。這導致了很多球員因此只拿一年二年約，球隊和球員都試圖為了2019年及以後等薪資爆漲的明年先簽短約等明年在來拼大約，等明年薪資爆漲的一年屆時大咖有實力天賦球員在來拼大約。這對於球隊或球員來說是否具有優勢還有待觀察，但實際上，許多自由球員就是為了等明年薪資上限爆漲時而現在先簽一年或兩年約等明年拼大約。 It’s an open secret at this point that the Hawks are not going to try to be competitive this season, instead using another year for player development to obtain a high draft pick. Even though this is the goal throughout the organization, there’s nothing to stop them from signing a useful player or two to help buoy the team and offset some of that losing, especially since the lottery odds have flattened out in 2019 and beyond to make it less beneficial to be among the worst teams in the league. 而老鷹本賽季不會試圖去保持競爭力這點早已是大家都知道的公開秘密，老鷹重建時主要就是練新秀、坦來獲得高順位選秀權。即使這是老鷹的目標，但也沒有什麼可以阻止他們簽下一、兩個受歡迎有知名度的球員來幫助支持提高球隊知名度並以此來補嘗雖球隊要坦戰績爛，但至少還有想觀注的球員，尤其是因為2019年以後樂透區機率改差也讓其它球隊不會因此輕易的開坦。 We saw this with the Jeremy Lin trade – they could have taken on entirely dead salary into their cap space, but they decided to go with a player in Lin who can absolutely still contribute on the court and will likely be a big part of the team’s success next season, to whatever extent that success occurs. In that vein, here are a pair of free agents the Hawks could target for very little money, in addition to some of the names I wrote about before free agency opened, including Treveon Graham, David Nwaba (both of whom are now unrestricted free agents), and Josh Huestis: 而我們在Jeremy Lin的交易中看到了這一點 - 他們本可以不動剩餘的薪資空間，但是他們決定跟籃網交易找來林書豪，因為老鷹信任林書豪相信他仍可在球場上做出貢獻並且很有可能成為球隊下個賽季要打贏球(開坦?)的不可或缺的一份子。 (或是要開坦因而不可或缺一份子原文寫the team’s success就不知道要怎麼解讀了XDD) ，而無論戰績好到什程度(坦到什程度?)，在這種情形下，現在市場上在剩不多薪資空間下老鷹還有哪些選擇，除了在自由球員市場開始前我所推薦的球員，包括Treveon Graham，David Nwaba （兩人現在都是不受限制的自由球員）之外，）還有 Josh Huestis ： Alex Poythress The lack of true small forwards on the Hawks’ roster is startling – only Taurean Prince is truly capable of defending against the bigger wings in the league. Kent Bazemore and others will be able to fake it, especially on a team not designed to win, but bringing in another wing-sized player to take some of that load off these two would help Atlanta’s defense tremendously. Poythress isn’t even necessarily a high-end defender, but his size at 6’7 and 240 pounds would be a strong addition to the team’s wing depth. Alex Poythress 老鷹陣容裡缺少真正的小前鋒令人吃驚 - 只有Taurean Prince能夠真正有能力防守聯盟中身材更高大的側翼。而 Kent Bazemore和其他人也將會往上打SF，反正現在球隊下賽季也不打算贏球，但是若能引進另一名有側翼身材的球員來減輕這兩名球員的負擔並且將會對老鷹的防守有非常大的幫助。而 Poythress甚至不是一名有優良防守的球員，但他擁有6尺7和240磅的側翼身材能有他加入的話也算是球隊側翼深度的一名強力後援。 After being cut a week ago from the Pacers main roster but continuing to play Summer League with them, he’s played well enough to warrant a look at the minimum from the Hawks. With just 261 NBA minutes to his name across the past two seasons, Poythress has never really gotten a shot to show what he can do consistently in the big leagues, and like the Philadelphia 76ers did in the early Process era under Sam Hinkie, the Hawks should be looking for players willing to sign long-term minimum contracts in the hopes of finding a diamond in the rough. With some defensive development from new head coach Lloyd Pierce, Poythress could grow into a long-term option on the wing. 一周前被溜馬裁掉後但還是有繼續參加他們的夏季聯賽，而夏聯他也打得非常出色，老鷹可以低薪簽他。而在過去兩個賽季中，在NBA時上場時間只有261分鐘， Poythress從沒有在NBA比賽中有足夠上場時間可以表現來真正發揮他的實力，就像76人的Sam Hinkie，而老鷹應該尋找那些有意願簽低薪長約的球員，以期能在那些現在球技粗糙但有天賦的球員中尋找鑽石。而在新教練Lloyd Pierce的一些防守訓練調教下， Poythress 的防守也有機會得到成長成為球隊側翼位置的一個長期理想選擇。 Pat Connaughton Connaughton doesn’t fill the opening on the wing like Poythress does, but he does fit the team-wide ethos of shooting that has permeated Schlenk’s moves over the past month. After using all three of his first-round picks on players who can bomb from deep, the addition of another shooter off the bench would surprise exactly nobody. Connaughton played all 82 games for the Portland Trail Blazers last season in a key reserve role, but did not receive a qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent, opening his services up to any team in the league without the ability for Neil Olshey to match that offer. Pat Connaughton 而Pnt不像Poythress那樣能完全填補球隊側翼位置上的缺口，但他確實符合球隊其中要找的有投射能力的球員，這個球員也符合有達到Schlenk在過去一個月談到對於球隊要找的球員需具備二個技能之一的要求。在Schlenk使用了三支首輪籤選了能對內線造成威脅的三名球員後若老鷹在去找一名替補射手也不會讓人感到驚訝。 Connaughton上賽季為波特蘭拓荒者隊打了82場比賽，但他現在還沒拿到QO 來成為受限制自由球員RFA，還不是RFA 而在阿拓的GM Neil Olshey現在沒有足夠空間跟進報價的情況下就還沒提QO讓球員成為RFA來接受各隊報價。 While Connaughton doesn’t project to being much more than a bench shooter, he ’s done well in that role on significant per-minute attempts for Portland over the past two years and would give the Hawks another option to space the floor around Lin and Trae Young (and Schröder, I suppose, if he’s still on the team come the regular season) 而Connaughton不僅僅是一名替補射手，他在過去兩年阿拓的比賽裡，只要一上場上場的每分鐘都能為球隊做出貢獻也是球隊裡不可或缺的一份子並且打得很好也因此他的加入將會給老鷹隊除在Lin和Trae Young （還有德軟，我猜測的，到時如果賽季開始時他仍還有留在球隊裡的話）。外的另一個選擇來填剩下的薪資下限。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.246.36.94 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Hawks/M.1531629519.A.F4D.html ※ 編輯: chiminglin (111.246.36.94), 07/15/2018 13:04:46
