http://tinyurl.com/dg3cvx If David Lee believes he's a $10M per player, then maybe he will follow the path of Ben Gordon, who twice turned down contract extension offers from the Bulls, did not find a likable offer sheet as a restricted free agent and accepted a one-year $6.4M qualifying offer to buy himself unrestricted free agency this summer. 如果David Lee覺得自己是個千萬身價的球員，那他可能會跟隨Ben Gordon的腳步。Ben Gordon兩次拒絕了公牛隊的開價，並選擇繼續最後一年640萬元的合約以換取不受限制的自由球員資格。 It's a major risk. Gordon put up solid numbers (20.7 ppg, 45.5 FG%) in his walk year and has really been impressive for the Bulls in their first-round series with Boston, which is tied 2-2 going into Game 5 on Tuesday. Gordon is averaging 24.8 points and shootign 46.1 percent from the floor and has made several clutch baskets. With the Celtics defense focused on rookie Derrick Rose, Gordon has made them pay because he knows how to get open and he knows how to get off a quick release. And he doesn't know how to stop shooting. 這是一場豪賭。但Gordon在本季的合約年打出了漂亮的數據(20.7分和45.5 FG%)，而在季後賽第一輪與塞爾提克的比賽也打得十分出色，幫助公牛隊追到2-2平手(可惜今天輸了) 。Gordon交出24.8分和46.1%投籃命中率的成績單並投進了幾顆關鍵的球。Gordon讓塞爾提克把防守重點放在Derrick Rose身上，因為他知道要如何讓自己跑出空檔並快速的擺脫防守者，他唯一不知道的是如何停止投籃。 Gordon wants $10M per and in today's economy that's hard to offer to a one-dimensional player. But, as my buddy Peter Botte always says, "It's a damn good dimension to have." 雖然Gordon想要千萬年薪，但以現在的經濟狀況而言，功能較少(專職得分)的球員想拿到這種合約是比較難的。但我的好友Peter Botte說過"光這個功能就夠你用的了" Lee could get some interest as a restricted free agent this summer, but there are very few teams with the cap space to try to steal him from the Knicks. One might point to Memphis, but do you think the financially strapped Grizzlies want to lay out that kind of bread to get Lee (especially with Rudy Gay up next season)? The Trail Blazers are another option, but, again, they have to be fiscally responsible with Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge expiring next season. Lee或許有興趣會在本季成為受限制的自由球員，但沒有多少球隊有閒錢可以從尼克那裡把他偷來。其中之一或許會是灰熊隊，但你覺得財務吃緊的灰熊隊會端出這樣的合約給 Lee嗎？(特別是下季要續簽Rudy Gay)拓荒者是另一個可能，但他們下季也還要先搞定 Brandon Roy和LaMarcus Aldridge的合約。 So what about the Pistons? Word is they may make a serious run at Carlos Boozer (and possibly Gordon, too). 那麼活塞隊有可能嗎？有消息說他們會全力搶下Carlos Boozer(Gordon也有可能) The feeling here is David will remain with the Knicks (and rightfully so), but if there is no competition for Lee as a restricted free agent, the Knicks would be negotiating against themselves. Considering the 2010 plan, do they really need to go up to $10M per to sign Lee? That impinges the 2010 plan, especially if they haven't moved Eddy Curry and his $11.2M on the books for 10-11. 這樣看來David還是會留在尼克隊(本該如此)，但當Lee成為受限制自由球員又沒有其他球隊跟尼克競爭他的時候，則尼克隊該進行協商的對象就是自己了。考量到2010年的計畫，他們真的應該花上千萬年薪去簽下Lee嗎？這跟2010年的計畫牴觸，尤其是他們還擺脫不掉Eddy Curry10年的一千一百二十萬元合約。 It's an option, though I seriously doubt he would take it, for Lee to take a one-year qualifying offer at $2.6M and gamble on having another terrific season statistically and perhaps bank on personnel changes to improve the roster and make the Knicks a legitimate playoff team. Then Lee could go into 2010, where there will be far more teams with cap space, and expect to be a hot commodity. 雖然我真的無法確定他是否會這麼做，但另一個選擇就是繼續他最後一年兩百六十萬元的合約，把希望賭在下季能打出另一個漂亮的數據以及球團能補強陣容讓尼克成為季後賽的熱門隊伍。那麼Lee就可以加入2010年的大魚行列，屆時會有更多手上握有大鈔票的球隊來打量他。 And for the Knicks, who have his Bird Rights, he could be signed up to a max deal, even if they are over the cap. 而到時候他也將符合大鳥條款，就算尼克隊超過薪資上限他也可以簽到一張頂級合約。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.227.160.114
