http://0rz.tw/TGLI8 While the Kings are slowly becoming known as one of the league's up-and-coming teams, they bolstered another growing reputation Monday with the acquisition of New Orleans big man Hilton Armstrong. 當國王慢慢往上爬時，又做了一些補強。 They are, it's becoming clear, the last stop for woebegone lottery picks. 很顯然，又是另一個不如意的樂透簽球員的藏身處。 As was the case with Shelden Williams, Ike Diogu and Sean May before, the Kings hope Armstrong can become the player he was supposed to be when the Hornets drafted him 12th overall in 2006 out of Connecticut. 前有Shel、屌古和梅，國王還是對阿姆不離不棄。 If so, they'll be getting the frontcourt size and defensive help they need. If not, Armstrong will simply be the means to a decent end on the business front. 如果真的能打出來，國王將得到他們所需要的前場的size和防守。如果不行，阿姆該好好想一想是不是該回去唱歌了 :p The Kings gave up a 2016 second-round draft pick in the deal, but they received cash in the trade that more than covers the remaining portion of Armstrong's expiring contract ($1.8 million). While the exact amount is not known, one source with knowledge of the deal said it was "a good day for (the Kings)." 國王在這次交易中給了一個16年的第二輪，但拿到了錢。錢的數目還不知道，但熟知內情的人說國王賺到了。 The Hornets, however, were the ones most motivated by money. 黃蜂要的就是錢。 In ridding themselves of Armstrong's contract, they came close to getting under the league's luxury tax threshold of $69.9 million. Teams that are above the tax pay a dollar penalty for every dollar they are over. 前有，不翻。 Finances aside, the Kings hope the 6-foot-11, 235-pound Armstrong can play like he did in his final season with the Huskies. He was voted Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year, averaging 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game. Yet in four NBA seasons, he has averaged 3.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.5 blocks per game while playing an average of 12.9 minutes. 除了經濟因素，國王也希望這名6'11，235磅的阿姆可以表現地跟他在Huskies最後一年一樣。他被選為大東區年度最佳防守球員，平均9.7分，6.6籃板和3.1鍋。但在nba四個球季平均3.6分、2.7籃板和0.5鍋，平均上場12.9分鐘。 "He gives us some additional depth … some length and some athleticism up there (in the front court)," Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said. "He can play at both (power forward and center) spots some." 「他提供我們一些額外的深度，一些高度和運動能力，他可以打F/C」Petrie說。 While Sacramento hasn't been the place for revivals for Williams, Diogu or May, Petrie is hoping it is for Armstrong. 國王雖然不是Shel、屌古和梅的重生處，但Petrie希望是阿姆的。(梅還在啊.....這麼早就被宣判死刑了) "I think sometimes it gets to a point where a change of scenery and a different environment can help players," he said of Armstrong. "You don't know that for sure, but we still needed to get some additional size up front in the short-term. It's a chance for the rest of the season for him to do more and us to get a look at him." 「我想有時候換個不同的環境可以幫助球員，你無法很明確地知道，但我們短期內仍然需要在前場增加size，對他而言這是個機會」Petrie說 ========================================================= 希望這次不要又再掛另外一個第一輪的了XDDDDD 快要變成不如意球員收容中心了，要向Beno、Sergio和南哥看齊啊 Ely:阿姆，我在CBA等你 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.130.141.241
