Clippers waive Ruben Patterson By Jonathan Abrams, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer December 14, 2007 MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Clippers on Thursday waived veteran forward Ruben Patterson, whose contract was set to become fully guaranteed Saturday, and were expected to sign guard Richie Frahm to a non-guaranteed contract. 快艇在星期四釋出了老將前鋒Patterson. 本來Patterson即將在這星期六獲得一份保障合約, 快艇預期會跟後衛Richie Frahm簽下一份不保障合約. "We had a guarantee day coming up under contract for Ruben and we just felt we needed the flexibility -- in case one of our point guards went down -- that we would be able to bring somebody in," Coach Mike Dunleavy said. "我們即將要給Ruben一份保障合約了, 但是我們覺得我們的陣容需要更有彈性, 以防萬一又有控球後衛受傷了, 那我們還能臨時去補人." 教練Dunleavy表示. Dunleavy added that the move was also made to give rookie Al Thornton additional playing time. Dunleavy做了這個決定, 同時也給了新人Thornton更多的上場時間. "I think he is ready for more minutes," he said. "He had some great practices for us, and we feel like if he gets consistent minutes, we'll have to live with some mistakes, but overall the guy was our leading scorer in preseason." "我認為他已經準備好了要有更多的上場時間, 他跟我們有不錯的練習成果, 雖然說我們認為給他一個穩定的上場時間可能會帶給隊上一些失誤, 但是大致上來講, 他可是我們熱身賽時的得分王." Frahm, who attended Gonzaga, was waived by the Phoenix Suns shortly before the season began and is expected to give the Clippers' outside shooting a boost. Gonzaga University畢業的Frahm一開季就被太陽隊給釋出, 現在他被期望能給快艇的外線加點火力. But Frahm's tenure with the Clippers could be a brief one. The team is concerned about the health of its point guards, particularly Sam Cassell, who has sat out the last eight games because of a calf injury. 不過Frahm在快艇的職位可能也不會很久. 目前球隊最注重的是控衛的健康情形, 尤其是Cassell, 他已經因為小腿受傷缺席八場比賽. The NBA roster limit is 15 and the Clippers' maneuverability has been restricted because, although sidelined by injuries, Elton Brand and Shaun Livingston still count against the number. NBA規定球員名單為15人, 但快艇很明顯的更受限制, 因為在場邊觀戰的EB及Livingston 也算在名單之內. Patterson was the only Clipper whose salary was not guaranteed. He was set to make $770,610 if the Clippers kept him past this week. Patterson是唯一快艇的不保障合約. 如果快艇留他過了這週, 他將獲得剩下的$770,610. He came off a career year for the Milwaukee Bucks, when he averaged career highs in points at 14.7 and rebounds with 4.7. 他去年剛從公鹿隊拿下生涯最佳成績, 平均14,7分外加4.7籃板. Patterson, 6 feet 5 and 223 pounds, is considered an undersized forward but an aggressive defender. He started five of the Clippers' 21 games, including the season opener against the Golden State Warriors when he was charged with the task of defending Warriors point guard Baron Davis. Patterson有6呎5吋, 223磅的身材, 是小一號的前鋒但是卻是積極的防守者. 快艇的21 場比賽他先發了5場, 包含開幕戰對勇士隊防守對方的主將Baron Davis. Patterson averaged 5.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 rebounds in 16.4 minutes. Patterson在快艇平均5.1分3.2籃板(其中1.2進攻籃板), 上場時間16.4分鐘. He had well-documented issues with some of his past organizations but seemed to fit in well with his Clippers teammates. 雖然說過去有很多他和隊上不合的問題出現, 但是他在快艇與隊友相處相當合適. "He was just more a casualty of the situation," Dunleavy said. "We don't think we can lock in that 15th spot with the situation we've had at the point guard spot with injuries. We have to be flexible. "他只是另外一個傷兵問題下的犧牲者," Dunleavy說: "我不認為我們可以把第15人的人選固定起來, 尤其在控球後衛受傷的狀況之下, 我們必須保持可以靈活調度的狀態." "With Sam being out this length of time, we are saying to ourselves what would happen if Brevin [Knight] or Dan [Dickau]went down?" "當Sam受傷, 帶走了他該上場的時間, 我們不禁會擔心, 要是Brevin或是Dan也倒了該怎麼辦?" Cassell already suffered through an injury plagued 2006-07 season. Knight, who has started in his absence, has had past injury problems. Cassel上球季受傷痛影響一整季, Knight開季以來也有一些傷痛的問題 Frahm is expected to suit up tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies. If still on the team, his contract would become guaranteed Jan. 10. Frahm預計今天會到場觀看對灰熊的比賽. 他如果持續待在球隊, 他將於明年1/10獲得一份保障合約.
