Bobcats to explore possibility of adding Iverson ---- Posted Jun 30 2009 9:20PM CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Charlotte Bobcats have an owner who's losing millions and looking to sell. They've struggled to move tickets, win games and become relevant in a town that used to adore the NBA. 夏洛特山貓隊的老闆近來因為球票賣不掉,球隊嬴不了,得不到球迷的支持,損失了很多錢，所以想把球隊賣掉. Allen Iverson could change that. Pair the polarizing guard with coach Larry Brown again and they wouldn't just be talking about games in Charlotte, they'd be talking about practice, too AI可以改善這件事.把兩個充滿個人色彩的AI還有布朗爺再湊在一起一次,他們不只會討論那些關於贏球輸球的事,他們也會討論"Practice".( http://tinyurl.com/l5a2pf0 ) Whether Iverson is reunited with his former adversary-turned-buddy Brown is Charlotte's most intriguing storyline as the NBA's free agency period opens Wednesday. AI是否加盟山貓,與那位"從敵人轉變成朋友"的教練布朗爺再一次合作,是禮拜三開始的自由球員簽約活動中,最惹人注意的議題. Iverson is a 34-year-old free agent, far removed from his NBA MVP days and certainly about to be paid much less than the nearly $22 million he made last season, when he was traded from Denver to Detroit. AI現在是一個34歲的自由球員,最黃金的那段時期已經過了,薪水也無疑的會比上一季被交易到底特律時的22M少很多. Seven years after Iverson's famous "We're talking about practice!" rant directed at Brown when they were in Philadelphia, the two have made up. Iverson was spotted in Charlotte in May, when Brown said he'd have no problems coaching him again and Iverson's agent indicated his client would be open to playing for the Bobcats. 在AI還在費城時那次不尊重布朗爺的"我們在談「練習」"事件之後,過了七年,他們合好了. AI今年五月在夏洛特出沒、布朗爺也說了他對再執教AI一次不會有問題、AI的經紀人也表示AI對到山貓隊打球感到很OK. Leon Rose declined further comment on Tuesday, but he's expected to talk to the Bobcats as the free agency negotiating period starts Wednesday. 禮拜二時，Leon Rose(AI經紀人)拒絕公開更進一步的消息，但他預計會在禮拜三時,好好地坐下來跟山貓隊談一談合約的事. "Even though there are things that went on during our careers, the work he did was phenomenal," Brown said recently. "He wants to win, he competes every night, he plays hurt." "雖然我們之前曾經有過一些不順的事,但AI表現得很傑出" 布朗爺最近說 "他很想要贏球, 他每天晚上都努力競爭,他都拼了命地打球." (翻譯得誇張了點) Brown did question whether the Bobcats, who have never won more than 35 games in a season, would be a good fit for a player seeking to win an NBA title before retiring. But Rose said his client would have no qualms coming to Charlotte. 夏洛特山貓隊沒有任何一季的勝場數超過35場過,布朗爺很疑慮這是否是一個適合的球隊, 讓一個非常努力,想要在退休前拼到一個冠軍的球員加入.但Rose說AI不會對來到夏洛特感到不妥. The Bobcats were the lowest-scoring team in the NBA last season, but Iverson's role here would be uncertain. 山貓是上一季平均得分最低的球隊,但AI在球隊中的位置會變得不明確. The Bobcats have depth in the backcourt. They drafted shooting guard Gerald Henderson with the 12th pick to back up Raja Bell. D.J. Augustin is expected to again back up point guard Raymond Felton. 山貓是一支有後場深度的球隊,他們選秀會時用第12號籤選了得分後衛Gerald Henderson 來做Raja Bell的替補. 而D.J. Augustin將會是控球後衛Raymond Felton的替補. Charlotte last week gave Felton a one-year, $5.5 million qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent and plan to sign him to a long-term deal this summer. 夏洛特在上個禮拜給了Felton一年5.5m的QO,讓他變成一個受限自由球員,然後打算在這個夏天跟他簽一筆長約. "I don't see any situation where he will not be with this team," managing partner Michael Jordan said. "Granted, we've got a lot of business decisions to make and a lot of negotiations ahead. But I anticipate us keeping and signing Raymond Felton, without a doubt." "我想讓他繼續留在山貓打球" 共同經營夥伴MJ說 "最近我們要做很多決定,也有一大堆合約的事情要處理.但我預期我們會保留Raymond Felton並且跟他簽約,沒有疑問." Under that scenario, Iverson would likely have to take on a lesser role, something he resisted in Detroit last season. 在這情況之下,AI可能會得到一個比較不重要的位置,就像上一季他在活塞隊一樣. It's also uncertain if the two sides could agree on a contract. The Bobcats, who are over the salary cap, will probably not offer more than a midlevel exception of about $5.6 million for a free agent. 合約方面的事也不太明確,已經超越薪資上限的山貓隊,可能只能提供AI一個大約5.6M的中產合約. Management has been told by owner Bob Johnson, who has slashed non-basketball payroll and is exploring selling the team, not to exceed the luxury tax threshold of about $70 million. 經濟方面有問題,想要把球隊賣掉的山貓老闆Bob Johnson,告訴我們球隊的薪資不會超過 70M的豪華稅門檻. "I don't think it's fair for us to get anywhere close to the luxury tax numbers," general manager Rod Higgins said. "We're just trying to get to the playoffs. We're not there yet, so it's going to be hard pressed for us to go to ownership and say we want to go to the tax level." "我不覺得讓我們的薪資接近豪華稅的門檻是一件好事" GM Rod Higgins說 "我們只是想要進入季後賽,我們還沒達成,所以讓我們對經營權的事,還有進入豪華稅狀態感到很有壓力," (這裡翻譯得很差請各位高手大大幫忙一下!) The Bobcats' biggest need is the frontcourt. Injury-prone power forward Sean May becomes an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday after Charlotte declined to give him a one-year qualifying offer of $3.7 million. 山貓最需要的是前場的實力.受傷的大前鋒Sean May在夏洛特拒絕給他一年3.7M的QO之後, 變成一個不受限的自由球員. The Bobcats could still try to re-sign May for less, and they must address Boris Diaw's backup because veteran Juwan Howard is also a free agent. Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess, both of whom have played for Brown, are available. 山貓還是可以試著用便宜一點的價格重簽May,而且因為老手Juwan Howard也成了自由球員, 所以他們必須找到一個可以當Boris Diaw替補的人.狗屁跟袋鼠,兩個都在布朗爺旗下打過球,都是可用之選. Charlotte has big money tied up in reserve big men Nazr Mohammed ($13.2 million owed over the next two seasons) and DeSagana Diop ($19.4 million over three years), but didn't make a draft-week trade to clear cap space to be a major player in free agency. 夏洛特因為兩個長人Nazr Mohammed(兩年13.2M)還有DeSagana Diop(3年19.4M) 的爛約而在薪資方面受到很大的限制,卻沒有在選秀的時候做一些交易來清空薪資空間,所以不能在自由市場裡大有作為. But with Cleveland, Orlando, Atlanta and Washington all making recent deals, the Bobcats may have a tough time becoming a playoff team in an improved Eastern Conference next season if they don't make a move or two to upgrade offensively. 最近克里夫蘭,奧蘭多,亞特蘭大以及華盛頓這些球隊都做了一些很有意義的交易,如果山貓不做一些大動作來改善的話,明年可能很難在進步很多的東區脫穎而出,進入季後賽. ------------- 翻得很不好請各位大大見諒如果有錯請告訴我看來AI到山貓的機率是蠻高的希望到時候可以讓他有個好位置打嗯.. 翻完才發現這篇出處跟上篇陸文應該是一樣的大家就將就著看吧! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.116.221.74
