Lakers' Jordan Farmar might become a restricted free agent
農夫可能成為受限自由球員
By Broderick Turner
October 11, 2009
The Lakers aren't planning on offering Jordan Farmar a contract extension
this season, which in many ways leaves his future uncertain.
Farmar, in his fourth season, in which he'll earn $1.947 million, saw the
team pick up the options for his third and fourth seasons. But he's aware
that if the Lakers don't offer him a deal by the deadline of Oct. 31, he'll
become a restricted free agent next summer and the Lakers can match any offer
Farmar receives from another team.
湖人目前沒計畫和農夫談延長合約，也為他的未來埋下變數。若10/31前仍未提出續約方
案，明年的夏天農夫將成為受限自由球員。
Farmar said after practice Saturday he's not feeling increased pressure
because this is a contract year.
"There's always going to be pressure playing in the NBA for the Lakers,"
Farmar said. "That's just part of the job. I don't think it's more than any
other year. This is my first time up for a renewal, so that's a little
different aspect to it. I just try to stay mentally tough and continue to
work hard."
農夫在周六的練習後表示他並不會因為今年是合約年而感到較有壓力：「在湖人隊打球，
承受壓力，已經是屬於工作中的一部分，畢竟這裡是湖人球場，不是開心農場。這是我
第一次爭取續約，所以會稍帶不同的眼光去看待。我會保持堅強的意志並努力工作！」
The Lakers have a payroll of $91.3 million, putting them over the luxury-tax
threshold of $69.92 million, meaning Lakers owner Jerry Buss will have to pay
an additional dollar-for-dollar tax of $21.4 million.
湖人總薪資達9.13千萬美元，遠遠超過上限(6.99千萬)，這代表Buss必須再多支付2.14
千萬的豪華稅。
Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said the coaches asked Farmar to lift weights and
improve his defense.
Jackson is not worried about Farmar pressing because he doesn't have a
contract beyond this season.
"He knows that he's a desired product in this game," Jackson said. "I know he
doesn't feel like this is it for him. He's got a lot of followers in this
game."
禪師表示教練團希望農夫多舉重並加強防守，但並不擔心農夫會因為合約年而感到壓力：
「他知道自己是受關注的球員，但我知道他不認為自己的程度僅有如此，況且他在場上
仍有許多競爭者。」 (這段不太會翻，麻煩強者幫忙>"<)
Farmar contends that he's not "necessarily" nervous because this is a
contract year.
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Farmar said. "I'm a member of
the Lakers. We're world champions. We're going after this season trying to
defend our title. So those are things I'm focusing on. The other stuff will
take care of itself. I play basketball because I love the game.
"We all know it's a business side to it. When that comes, we'll have to
address it. This is the best organization in the business, in my opinion.
It's special here. I would love to be here as long as I can."
農夫覺得自己未必要為了合約年而憂慮：「種田的總會想到辦法克服旱災，我可是湖人
的成員之一，我們是總冠軍耶。我們的目標是二連霸，也是我目前所該關心的。船到橋
頭自然直，在我能待在這裡的每一天，我都深愛著這支球隊。」
Lakers call meeting
The 19-point loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night didn't sit
well with the Lakers.
So they got together at practice and talked about playing with energy.
"They had a meeting amongst themselves, I think, because they felt like they
didn't give the right kind of effort last night," Jackson said. "It wasn't
that it was a bad effort, but nothing went right for them, so you've got to
start from a basic position of doing the right thing to get it back and get
it all tied together again. So that was good."
湖人球員之間自主開了個會議，討論上一場輸給勇士的熱身賽，互相提醒要拿出正確的
打球態度。禪師認為這樣的會議還不賴。
London calling
The Lakers are planning to play an exhibition game in England next year, The
Times has learned.
The Lakers probably will split time between London and Barcelona, spending
three or four days in each city and playing one game in each location against
teams to be determined.
Plans have not been finalized, but the Lakers haven't played outside of North
America since two exhibition games in France in 1991.
湖人計畫明年到英國打一場熱身賽，可能會在三四天內在倫敦與巴塞隆納各打一場，對手
目前尚未確定。整個計畫仍未確定，況且湖人從1991年後就未曾在北美以外打過熱身賽。
Roster moves
The Lakers waived three players Saturday: Mickael Gelabale, David Monds and
Michael Fey, a former UCLA player.
湖人裁掉Mickael Gelabale、David Monds與前UCLA球員Michael Fey等三名球員。
