[外電]Lakers give Brown a change of scenery
http://www.dailynews.com/Stories/0,1413,200~25388~2965860,00.html
In the days before free-agent forward Kwame Brown decided to come to the
Lakers, Phil Jackson placed a call to Michael Jordan to ask for an appraisal
of the player Jordan once drafted out of a Brunswick, Ga., high school with
the No. 1 overall pick.
在自由球員Kwame Brown決定來到湖人隊之前,禪爺爺打了通電話詢問喬丹對布朗的評價.
而這位高中球員布朗曾經被喬丹在選秀會上以第一順位選走.
"All I know is Phil was one of the biggest advocates of this deal," Brown's
agent, Arn Tellem, said Thursday. "Obviously, by inference, I have to think
it was a positive conversation."
就我所知道的禪爺爺是促成這樁交易的最大推手之一,布朗的經濟人Arn Tellem在星期四
時這麼說."根據我觀察,很顯然的,那通電話應該具有正面的意義存在"
Where Jordan and coach Doug Collins once failed to reach Brown with the
Washington Wizards, Jackson and Kobe Bryant will now try to salvage the
23-year-old's career with the Lakers.
當喬丹和教練Doug Collins放棄了當時在巫師隊的布朗,現在禪爺爺和Kobe要嘗試
去挽救這位僅僅23歲的湖人球員.
Tellem confirmed that Brown will sign a three-year, $24.9 million contract
as part of a sign-and-trade deal once the NBA's moratorium on free-agent
signings ends July 22. In return, the Lakers agreed to send forward Caron
Butler and guard Chucky Atkins to Washington.
Tellem確定布朗將會簽下三年24.9 million的合約(挺貴的說),而湖人將會送出
Caron Butler和腸哥給華盛頓.
On the one-year anniversary of the Shaquille O'Neal trade, the Lakers made
another major move, acquiring a player in Brown whose career averages of
7.7 points and 5.5 rebounds have yet to match the potential that seemed
limitless before the 2001 draft.
在經過歐胖胖交易一週年紀念日之後,湖人又做了一個很重要的交易,簽下布朗,一個
生涯平均7.7分和5.5籃板的球員.仍然沒有發揮在2001年選秀之前他讓人認為他應該
有的那無限潛能.
"It's a fresh start," Tellem said, "and the Lakers have an obvious need for
the things (Brown) can bring, his size, his athletic ability, his quickness
"這是一個新的開始"Tellem說."而湖人很顯然的需要布朗能帶來的東西,他的身材,
運動能力和敏捷.
To get Brown, the Lakers parted with Butler, who averaged 21.9 points in 15
games with Lamar Odom out at the end of last season. He was one of five
small forwards on the roster, however, and likely would have come off the
bench for Jackson.
為了得到布朗,湖人提供上季最後15場Odom缺席的比賽中平均得到21.9分的Butler,他
是湖人陣中擁有的五個小前鋒之一,而也許會在下一季在禪爺爺執教下成為板凳球員.
Atkins started all 82 games last season, averaged a career-high 13.6 points,
and was the Lakers' top 3-point shooter, but the Lakers are pursuing
free-agent guard Antonio Daniels, who is expected to make a decision about
where he will sign early next week.
腸哥上季先發82場比賽平均得到生涯新高的13.6分,而且是湖人最好的三分射手之一(= =")
但是湖人正在尋求自由球員Antonio Daniels的加盟,而 Daniels將會在下星期做出
簽約的決定.
"It's definitely a good situation," said Tony Dutt, Daniels' agent.
The Lakers could offer Daniels their $5 million midlevel exception and a
starting job, but are expected to get competition from Cleveland, Miami,
Toronto, Utah and Portland for his services.
AD經紀人Tony Dutt說:"這顯然是很棒的情況".湖人將可以提供AD五百萬的中產合約
和先發後衛的工作.但預期將會與Cleveland, Miami,Toronto, Utah and Portland
等隊伍競爭.
Brown spent a troubled four years in Washington and bottomed out during the
Wizards' first-round playoff series against Chicago in May. He skipped a
practice and stayed home from a game in an apparent protest over playing time
and was suspended for the rest of the postseason.
布朗在華盛頓經過四個充滿麻煩的球季,而且未能參加今年五月與公牛的季後賽.因為他
留在家裡且沒有參加球隊練習,為了抗議上場時間不夠而遭到禁賽.(開始隨便翻了><)
The Wizards went on to win their first playoff series in 23 years without him.
However, Jackson is said to see the raw potential in Brown (7-foot, 270 pounds)
and believes he needed to get out of a situation that unraveled in Washington.
巫師隊在沒有布朗的情況下贏得季後賽第一輪的勝利.然而禪爺爺認為布朗有未經琢磨的
潛能 (7-foot, 270 pounds),而且相信他必須要離開華盛頓來改變這種情況.
The Lakers hope Brown follows the same path as Jermaine O'Neal, who averaged
only 11.5 minutes per game for four seasons in Portland before turning into
an All-Star in Indiana. Brown also played in Washington with expectations
that might never have been met.
湖人期望布朗能成為下一個Jermaine O'Neal,小歐在成為溜馬的明星球員之前在拓荒者
的四個球季平均上場時間11.5分鐘.而布朗在華盛頓也沒有做到大家所期待的事情.
Though Brown was often criticized and sometimes berated by Jordan once the
superstar guard came out of retirement to rejoin the Wizards, Tellem said
he thought there would be little friction between Brown and Bryant.
儘管布朗常常被喬丹批評或責備.但Tellem說:"他認為Kobe和布朗之間將不會有如此的
摩擦產生"
"He has got tremendous respect and admiration for Kobe," said Tellem, who
represented Bryant earlier in his career. While the trade, leaves Bryant
without Butler and Atkins -- his two closest teammates -- it increases the
chances the Lakers will take advantage of a one-time amnesty provision to
the new collective bargaining agreement and waive forward Brian Grant.
Such a move could save the team as much as $30 million in luxury tax penalties.
Tellem說"他對於Kobe有著極大的尊敬與讚賞".這次交易Kobe失去了Butler和腸哥這兩個
最親密的隊友.而且因為得到布朗因而增加了釋出B.Grant的機會,因為根據新的條例可以
為球隊省下一大筆的豪華稅.
"That's their decision," said Mark Bartelstein, Grant's agent. "We're going to
have to see what they want to do."
Grant的經濟人Mark Bartelstein說"那是他們的決定.""我們將會看他們想怎麼做."
"I think he's going to be an exciting, team player," Tellem said. "He's going
to fit well into what they're trying to do. He'll provide the team toughness
and rebounding and speed and really fill a role and bring a physical presence."
(直接跳著翻了,這篇好多喔)Tellem說"我想他將會成為令人興奮的團隊球員"布朗將會
適應的很好,且做到他們想要做的事情.他將會提供韌性,籃板和速度,而且將會扮演好他
的角色並為球隊帶來實質的貢獻.
============================================================================
這篇挺長的,我省略了一些沒有翻譯.而且有一些翻的挺濫的= ="
另外現在最新的奇怪乳摸竟然是用Grant跟拓荒者交易Ratliff和Kobe Stopper.
