orlando-magics-projected-space-it-isnt-much by Philip Rossman-Reich https://orlandomagicdaily.com/2018/03/17/orlando-magics-projected-space-it- isnt-much/ The buyout market in the NBA is pretty much closed. The Playoff rosters around the league are pretty much set. Everyone is gearing up for the stretch run. The final 13 games will bring Playoff glory to 16 teams and an eye on the ping pong balls for 14 others. The Orlando Magic know which group they will be in. They have been eyeing the NBA Draft Lottery for some time now. And there is an almost daily watch of the standings. 前言:今年球季大至上已經到了尾聲，有人為進季後賽努力，有人開始為選秀籤努力。我魔當然是後者。 Everyone surrounding the Magic recognizes change is coming. President of basketball operations Jeff Weltman admitted as much when he traded Elfrid Payton. He said on that day it did not make sense for the Magic to commit money to a group that was not working anymore (if it ever did). The Magic were trying to preserve some financial flexibility for the summer. 大部分人都期待魔術隊會作出改變，執行長Jeff Weltman承認，把過去不成功的模式作了改變，把EP交易了出去。為的就是暑假來臨時，球隊會有一些彈性空間。 The reality though is the Magic do not have a ton of cap space to spend. The NBA’s salary cap is starting to flatten out. There will be no dramatic increase in money available. All those contracts the teams around the league handed out the last two years are finally coming to roost. Precious few teams are expected to have cap space this summer. The Magic are not one of them. 事實上，魔術隊並沒有太多的空間，薪資上限不如當初預期的增加，過去兩年各球團發的大肥約，最後都會報應在球團自己身上。極少球隊在夏天會有薪資空間，但魔術也不在其中。 That is perhaps one of the most disheartening things about the Magic’s current situation. They are bad. And bad full of young veterans and long contracts. They do not have the financial flexibility to help take on bad contracts to flip over the roster or go out in free agency and find the players they want there. Filling out needs is going to take some time. And a bit of patience. Or some tricky financial calculus in the trade market. The Magic have a lot of work to do. 魔術隊現在情況就是戰績很差，而且有些肥約又很長的老將，沒有空間來在自由球員市場表現。 This summer may not be the one to do it. According to Keith Smith of Real GM, the Magic are projected to be roughly $19 million under the $101 million salary cap. That is actually the same amount of cap space (or lack thereof) they will start the offseason with. Realistically, the Magic have $78.1 million guaranteed for next year already, according to Basketball Insiders’ salary database. They still have non-guaranteed contracts in Shelvin Mack (just $1 million of his $6 million is guaranteed for next year) and Khem Birch (a minimum deal for a rookie). And this total does not include the cap holds for Mario Hezonja and Aaron Gordon. In all likelihood, the majority of that $19-million-plus of cap room will go to Aaron Gordon’s contract. That will leave Orlando with precious little room to sign new players. Orlando then has to use some space to sign its first-round pick — there is an exception that allows them to go over the cap to do this. 魔術隊薪資預計會比薪資上限101m還要低19m，也就是可以使用的空間。事實上，總共只有78.1m是確定的合約，球隊還有像MACK的6M合約但是其中只有1m是保障的合約，還有Birch領的是菜鳥最低薪。但是這些沒包括AG跟黑松在內。而且非常有可能，這19m可用的空間都會付給AG，另外還要簽下暑假選進來的新秀，這讓可以用的空間更少了。 Add it all up, and the Magic do not have a lot of space to maneuver this summer. Orlando was not able to do much at the deadline to clear some space. Trading Payton merely erased his cap hold and the minimally onerous restriction it puts on them to wait to resolve their unrestricted free agent first. 交易掉EP其實只減輕了一點點的空間壓力。 Orlando can go over the cap to sign Gordon this summer because they hold his Bird Rights. So Orlando has $19 million in realistic cap room but Gordon’s cap hold on its own will eat up most of that space — $16.5 million according to Eric Pincus’ salary database on Basketball Insiders. As the Magic begin to assess how to change things up this summer, this is where it all starts. Orlando will have to deal with Gordon’s free agency first. And that will likely eat up whatever cap space they have. 因為魔術隊掌有AG的鳥權，所以魔術隊簽下他後的球隊總薪資可以超過薪資上限。AG 的鳥權在暑假一開始就會列為16.5m的薪資，而這些大概已經吃掉19m的大部分空間。 In free agency, they will only really have the nontaxpayer mid-level exception (roughly $8 million) to use to add new players. 所以魔術隊在暑假只會有中產條款可以用，大概是8m The task ahead of Weltman then is a complex one. It means most of the Magic’ s activity will come in the trade market. And that will make it hard to get back equal value. Or create much more flexibility. 這一切表示魔術隊想要更好只能從交易市場來下手，也許交易來更好的資產，或者製造出更多的薪資空間。 ---- 恩恩跟我想的一樣 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.237.138.7 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Orl-Magic/M.1521442080.A.4CF.html
