By the Numbers: Free Agency By: Jason Fleming Last Updated: 7/5/08 3:00 PM ET 讓數字說話：自由球員 With the 2008 free agency craze well under way and hundreds of millions of dollars already being committed, it's a good time to look back at past summers and see if spending all that dough really gets you anything. Is spending a boatload a harbinger of good things to come? 隨著 2008 年的自由市場熱潮，數以億計的大錢正準備灑出去，讓我們回顧過去幾年，看看花了這些銀兩是否值得。花錢是不是真能帶來好的結果呢？ HOOPSWORLD takes a look at the free agency classes of 2005, 2006 and 2007 in an effort to see if teams received good returns on investment, see who wasted their cash, and see who actually ended up underpaid (it's all relative). HOOPSWORLD回顧了 2005 到 2007 三年的自由球員市場，看球隊的投資有沒有得到好的回報，看誰浪費了他們的錢，看誰是真正的物超所值 (都是相對而言) 。 2005 This summer season was unique. It was the summer of the amnesty clause, where teams could choose one overpriced veteran to take off their team, meaning they still had to pay the contract but the player became a free agent and his salary did not count towards the luxury tax. Very few big names signed with other teams. 今年夏天很特別。今年有「特赦條款」，球隊可以讓一名太貴的老將離隊，意思是他們仍然必須給付他的合約，而這位球員成為自由球員，但他的薪資並不算在薪資總額裡面，從而避免豪華稅。少數大魚和其他球隊簽了約。 Biggest Contracts, Biggest Names: Ray Allen was one of the most pursued players on the market, but he chose to re-sign with the Seattle SuperSonics for five years and $80 million. Joe Johnon was the biggest contract to change teams when he was signed and traded to the Atlanta Hawks from the Phoenix Suns for five years and $70 million, in exchange for Boris Diaw and draft picks. Other bigger deals included Antonio Daniels (Washington, five years, $30 million), Earl Watson (Seattle, five years, $29 million), Raja Bell (Phoenix, five years, $24 million), Kwame Brown (signed and traded to the Lakers for Caron Butler, three years, $25 million), Cuttino Mobley (signed with the Clippers for five years and $42 million), and Antoine Walker (signed and traded to Miami from Boston, six years, $53 million). 大約，大魚：Ray Allen 是市場上最炙手可熱的其中之一，但他選擇和西雅圖超音速續了五年八千萬的合約。Joe Johnson 是轉換跑道者中簽的約最大的，他從太陽經由先簽後換到了老鷹，合約五年七千萬，換來 Boris Diaw 和選秀權。其他大約包括 Antonio Daniels(巫師，五年三千萬) ，Earl Watson(超音速，五年兩千九百萬) ， Raja Bell(太陽，五年兩千四百萬) ，Kwame Brown(先簽後換 Caron Butler 到湖人，三年兩千五百萬) ，Cuttino Mobley (快艇，五年四千兩百萬) ，以及 Antoine Walker (從波士頓先簽後換到熱火，六年五千三百萬) 。 Extensions were given to Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas (five years, $55 million), Detroit's Tayshaun Prince (five years, $48 million), Houston's Yao Ming (five years, $80+ million), Golden State's Mike Dunleavy (five years, $45 million), Miami's Udonis Haslem (five years, $30 million), Milwaukee's Dan Gadzuric (six years, $36 million) and Michael Redd (six years, $90 million), Chicago's Tyson Chandler (six years, $64 million) and Eddy Curry (six years, $60 million), Philadelphia's Samuel Dalembert (six years, $58 million) and Kyle Korver (six years, $27 million), and Washington's Caron Butler (post-trade, five years, $46 million). 續約：騎士的 Zydrunas Ilgauska(五年五千五百萬)，活塞的 Tayshuan Prince (五年四千八百萬)，火箭的姚明(五年，超過八千萬)，勇士的 Mike Duleavy (五年，四千八百萬)，熱火的 Udonis Haslem(五年三千萬)，公鹿的 Dan Gradzuric(六年三千六百萬) 和 Michael Redd (六年九千萬)，公牛的 Tyson Chandler(六年六千四百萬) 和 Eddy Curry (六年六千萬)，費城的 Sameul Dalembert (六年五千八百萬) 和 Kyle Korver (六年兩千七百萬)，以及巫師的 Caron Butler (交易後，五年四千六百萬)。 Biggest Busts: Could anyone beat the five years and $60 million the Cleveland Cavaliers gave Washington Wizards guard Larry Hughes? Milwaukee tried, that's for sure. In addition to the $126 million they committed to Gadzuric (a horrible deal) and Redd, they gave Most Improved Player Bobby Simmons five years and $47 million. Those were all bad, but what about the most predictable general manager move in the history of the NBA? After Jerome James stumbled around in Seattle for a couple seasons, he played a fantastic second half and playoffs in 2004-05 – in a contract year. New York's Isiah Thomas promptly gave him – in a move jokingly speculated upon in the media for weeks before it could even happen – five years and $30 million. 大失敗：有人能贏過騎士給原巫師後衛 Larry Hughes 的五年六千萬嗎？確實，公鹿也嘗試過了。除了給 Gadzuric(糟透的合約) 和 Redd 的一億兩千六百萬之外，他們還給了最佳進步球員 Bobby Simmons五年四千七百萬。這些都很糟糕，但 NBA史上最可預測的 GM 動作又如何呢？在 Jerome James 在西雅圖混了幾個球季後，他在 04-05 的下半季和季後賽有驚人的表現 -在合約年。尼克的 Isiah Thomas 馬上就給了他五年三千萬合約 -在開始之前就在媒體上被開玩笑的傳了數周之久。 Best Deals: Korver's deal turned out to be pretty cheap, especially for the Utah Jazz after this past season's acquisition. The extensions given to Chandler, Haslem, Prince and Yao also have turned out to be solid ways to spend one's money. The best deal has to be Caron Butler's. Full of promise when the Wiz acquired him in the sign-and-trade for former #1 pick bust Kwame Brown, Butler has promptly become an All-Star twice – not bad for a guy who is the third-highest paid on his team. 大成功：Korver的合約算是相當便宜，尤其對之後獲得他的猶他爵士而言。給 Chandler ，Haslem，Prince和姚明的續約也是相當合宜的投資。最佳合約則該給 Caron Butler 。在巫師從最差狀元 Kwame Brown先簽後換的交易中獲得他之後，Butler很快的成為了兩度全明星，對一個領隊上第三高合約的人已經很不錯了。 2006 This was the summer of Ben Wallace. At one point it was assumed Joe Dumars and the Detroit Pistons would do everything in their power to keep Wallace, but they surprisingly weren't all that interested – and in retrospect we all know why. Instead, Wallace took the money the Chicago Bulls were throwing around. Outside of Wallace, 2006 was a summer of relative restraint. 這是大班的夏天。咸認 Joe Dumars 和活塞將盡其所能留住 Wallace，但令人驚訝的，他們對此並不那麼熱衷 -事後回顧我們都知道為什麼。取而代之的，Wallace 從公牛拿到了大約。除了 Wallace 之外，2006 的夏天算是相當沈寂的。 Biggest Contracts, Biggest Names: Wallace signed with the Bulls for four years and $60 million. The other biggest movers may be Tim Thomas (from Phoenix to the LA Clippers for four years and $24 million) and Vladimir Radmanovic (from the Clippers to Lakers for five years and $31 million). Other larger deals include Nazr Mohammed (a panic move by Detroit to replace Ben Wallace, five years, $31 million), Al Harrington (four years, $35 million), Portland's Joel Przybilla (five years, $31 million), Seattle's Chris Wilcox (three years, $24 million), Utah's Matt Harpring (four years, $25 million), and Washington's Darius Songaila (five years, $23 million). 大約，大魚：Wallace 和公牛簽下了四年六千萬的合約。其他換隊的大魚包括了 Tim Thomas (從太陽到快艇，四年兩千四百萬) ，和 Vladimir Radmanovic (從快艇到湖人，五年三千一百萬) 。其他大約包括 Nazr Mohammed (活塞為了填補大班的缺所作的瘋狂舉動，五年三千一百萬)，Al Harrington (四年三千五百萬)，拓荒者的 Joel Przybilla (五年三千一百萬)，超音速的 Chris Wilcox (三年兩千四百萬)，爵士的 Matt Hapring (四年兩千五百萬)，以及巫師的 Darius Songaila (五年兩千三百萬) Extensions were given to Cleveland's Drew Gooden (three years, $23 million) and LeBron James (four years, $63 million), Chicago's Kirk Hinrich (five years, $47 million), Dallas' Josh Howard (four years, $40 million), Dirk Nowitzki (three years, $60 million) and Jason Terry (six years, $57 million), Denver's Carmelo Anthony (five years, $80 million) and Nene (six years, $60 million), Miami's Dwyane Wade (four years, $63 million), New Orleans' David West (five years, $45 million), Phoenix's Leandro Barbosa (five years, $33 million) and Boris Diaw (five years, $45 million), Seattle's Luke Ridnour (three years, $18 million) and Nick Collison (four years, $26 million), Milwaukee's T.J. Ford (four years, $33 million), and Toronto's Chris Bosh (four years, $63 million) 續約：騎士的 Drew Gooden (三年兩千三百萬) 和 LeBron James (四年六千三百萬) ，公牛的 Kirk Hinrich (五年四千七百萬)，小牛的 Josh Howard (四年四千萬)， Dirk Nowitzki (三年六千萬) 和 Jason Terry (六年五千七百萬)，金塊的 Carmelo Anthony (五年八千萬) 和 Nene (六年六千萬)，太陽的 Leandro Barbosa(五年三千三百萬) 和 Boris Diaw (五年四千五百萬)，超音速的 Luke Ridnour(三年一千八百萬) 和 Nick Collison (四年兩千六百萬)，公鹿的 T.J. Ford (四年三千三百萬)，暴龍的 Chris Bosh (四年六千三百萬)。 Biggest Busts: Would it be the $25 million the Atlanta Hawks gave Speedy Claxton over four years to be their starting point guard? Or what exactly does Greg Buckner give you for for five years and $29 million? Five years and $21 million for Marcus Banks? Four years and $24 million for Mike James? Five years and $30 million for Jared Jeffries? Not a good year for picking and choosing which supporting players to reward. 大失敗：會是老鷹給 Speedy Claxton 四年兩千五百萬當他們的當家控衛嗎？還是給 Greg Buckner五年兩千九百萬的回報呢？ Marcus Banks 的五年兩千一百萬？ Mike James 的四年兩千四百萬？Jared Jeffries的五年三千萬？很難決定獎該頒給誰的一年。 Best Deals: Considering how important he was to the Boston Celtics 2008 title run, two years at minimum dollars for Leon Powe is pretty dang good. Ditto the four years and $16 million for Kendrick Perkins. While both of those players were very important to the Celtics, the best deal may be the five year, $23.5 million one John Salmons received from the Sacramento Kings. Salmon effectively replaced the need for Ron Artest when Artest was injured and is a major reason the bigger name is now expendable. Toronto plucking Anthony Parker from Europe for three years and $12 million was a pretty good deal as well. The case could also be made that no matter how much money LeBron James gets paid it's a good deal. 大成功：考慮到他對波士頓在 2008 年奪冠的重要性，Leon Powe 兩年底薪的合約實在是太棒了。 Kendrick Perkins 的四年一千六百萬也是。儘管上述兩位對賽爾蒂克非常重要，最佳合約應該是國王給 John Salmons 的五年兩千三百五十萬。Salmons 在 Ron Artest 受傷的時候有效遞補了 Artest 的缺，這也是後者現在可以放棄的主要理由。暴龍從歐洲用三年一千兩百萬找來了 Anthony Parker 也是一步好棋。而無論花了多少錢留住 LeBron James ，那都是值得的。 2007 The summer of 2007 was also relatively quiet. The biggest names on the block stayed home for big extensions, players like New Jersey's Vince Carter and Detroit's Chauncey Billups. The only big name who did move ended up being involved in one of the richest contracts in the NBA when Rashard Lewis was part of a sign-and-trade deal between Seattle and Orlando for draft picks.When history looks back on the this summer, the biggest impacts will likely be the smaller names the Boston Celtics signed to put around their star Paul Pierce and the two All-Star trade acquisitions, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. 2007年的夏天也是相當安靜。台面上的大魚都拿了大額續約留在原隊，像是籃網的 Vince Carter 以及活塞的 Chauncey Billups。唯一轉隊的大魚，也是 NBA史上最大合約之一，是在超音速和魔術先簽後換選秀權交易中的 Rashard Lewis。從歷史的角度回顧這個夏天，最大的衝擊可能是波士頓賽爾蒂克留住了自家球星 Paul Pierce 並且從交易中獲得了兩位全明星，Kevin Garnett 和 Ray Allen。 Perhaps the most intriguing issue of the 2007 free agent season were the holdouts by Cleveland's Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic. Restricted free agents the Cavs had made clear they would match any offer on, the pair ended up caving in to the Cavs' upper hand very late (Pavlovic just before the season began and Varejao not until December). 2007年自由球員市場上最有趣的話題可能是騎士的 Anderson Varejao 和 Sasha Pavlovic的負隅頑抗。騎士已經明說他們會跟進給這兩位受限自由球員的任何報價，這兩人最終還是屈服在騎士的五指山下 (Pavlovic在球季剛開始前，而 Varejao 在十二月之前) 。 Biggest Contracts, Biggest Names: Lewis' contract with Orlando is worth a staggering $118 million over six years, almost $20 million per for a player who is not a first option on offense. Carter's extension was worth $78 million over five years. Billups' deal ended up being fairly pedestrian at five years and $60 million. Charlotte's Gerald Wallace – for some reason that makes no sense at all – received very little consideration on the open market and re-signed with the Bobcats for six years and $57 million. Other contracts of note include Dallas' Jerry Stackhouse (three years, $21 million), the Lakers' Derek Fisher (three years, $14 million) and Luke Walton (five years, $31 million), Memphis' Darko Milicic (three years, $21 million), Milwaukee's Desmond Mason (two years, $11 million), Charlie Bell (five years, $18 million), and Mo Williams (six years, $51 million), Morris Peterson (New Orleans, four years, $23 million), and Steve Blake (Portland, three years, $12 million). 大約，大魚：Lewis 和魔術簽下的合約總值六年一億一千八百萬，平均將近每年兩千萬，給一個進攻上不是第一選擇的球員。Carter的續約是五年七千八百萬。 Billups 的合約相當平實：五年六千萬。山貓的 Gerald Wallace -就某種理由而言毫無意義- 在市場上獲得極少關注而和山貓續了六年五千七百萬的約。其他值得一提的包括小牛的 Jerry Stackhouse (三年兩千一百萬)，湖人的 Derek Fisher (三年一千四百萬) 和 Luke Walton (五年三千一百萬)，灰熊的 Darko Milicic (三年兩千一百萬)，公牛的 Desmond Mason (兩年一千一百萬)，Charlie Bell (五年一千八百萬)，以及 Mo Williams (六年五千一百萬)，Morris Peterson(黃蜂，四年兩千三百萬)，和 Steve Blake (拓荒者，三年一千兩百萬)。 Extensions were given to Boston's Garnett (three years, $51 million), Charlotte's Matt Carroll (six years, $27 million), Chicago's Andres Nocioni (five years, $37.5 million), Cleveland's Varejao (three years, $17 million) and Pavlovic (three years, $12 million), Detroit's Amir Johnson (three years, $11 million), the Clippers' Chris Kaman (five years, $52 million), Minnesota's Al Jefferson (five years, $65 million), Dallas' Devin Harris (five years, $50 million – then traded to New Jersey for Jason Kidd), Orlando's Dwight Howard (five years, $80 million) and Jameer Nelson (five years, $38 million), Portland's Travis Outlaw (three years, $12 million), San Antonio's Tim Duncan (two years, $40 million), and Washington's Andray Blatche (three years, $10 million). 續約：波士頓的 Garnett (三年五千一百萬)，山貓的 Matt Carroll (六年兩千七百萬)，公牛的 Andres Nocioni (五年三千七百五十萬)，騎士的 Anderson Varejao ( 三年一千七百萬)和 Pavlovic (三年一千兩百萬)，活塞的 Amir Johnson (三年一千一百萬) ，快艇的 Chris Kaman (五年五千兩百萬)，灰狼的 Al Jefferson (五年六千五百萬)，小牛的 Devin Harris (五年五千萬，隨後被交易到籃網換來 Jason Kidd) ，魔術的 Dwight Howard (五年八千萬)和 Jameer Nelson (五年三千八百萬)，拓荒者的 Travis Outlaw (三年一千兩百萬)，馬刺的 Tim Duncan (兩年四千萬) ，以及巫師 Andray Blatche (三年一千萬)。 Biggest Busts: That was a lot of money to give Carroll to come off the bench. Lewis will never be a bust; just overpaid – there's a difference. Walton signed his deal with the Lakers and promptly was buried on the bench. Milicic is still stuck showing glimpses of what he could become, rather than actually becoming. 大失敗：砸了大錢，給一個板凳球員 Carroll。Lewis 算不上失敗：只是太貴，這是有差別的。Walton和湖人簽約完，很快的就被埋到板凳深處。Milicic 還在掙扎，偶爾發出潛力的微光，但始終沒能真正發揮出來。 Best Deals: One year at minimum money for Eddie House is not bad at all. Neither is the two years and $7 million given to James Posey (he opted out of the second season). The two year minimum deal the Mavericks gave to Brandon Bass paid huge dividends. Still, none of those deals hold a candle to the two-year deal given to Grant Hill by the Phoenix Suns for $3.8 million. Hill stayed relatively healthy and put up fantastic numbers – the Magic wish he could have done what he did in the Valley of the Sun for the money they paid out. Although…the Sacramento Kings getting Beno Udrih to be their starting point guard for minimum money after Mike Bibby got hurt – and then was traded – is nothing to sneeze at. And, neither is the two-year minimum deal given to Jamario Moon by the Raptors. 2007 was filled with good deals and relative fiscal responsibility, apparently. 大成功：給 Eddie House 一年底薪一點兒也不壞。給 James Posey 兩年七百萬也是 (第二年他選擇跳出)。小牛給 Brandon Bass 的兩年底薪合約獲得了鉅額的報酬。但以上的都遠比不上太陽和 Grant Hill 的兩年三百八十萬合約。Hill維持健康，繳出了驚人的數據 -之前魔術希望他能做到現在在太陽所作的，為了他們付出的大筆薪資。國王用底薪簽下了 Beno Udrih，而成了他們的當家控衛，在 Mike Bibby受傷隨後被交易掉之後。還有暴龍給 Jamario Moon 的兩年底薪合約。很明顯的， 2007 年充斥著好約，以及相對的財政責任。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.125.84 ※ 編輯: pheather 來自: 140.112.125.84 (07/06 17:31)
