[外電] 2014休賽季太陽選妃大會。
The Phoenix Suns have surprised everyone by joining the playoff race in the
Western Conference, but that might pale in comparison to what Phoenix does
this offseason.
鳳凰城目前為止表現得非常出色,他們在西區列強的競爭中還能在季後賽保有
一席之地。但是,接下來的休賽季選妃大會將會更佳的耀眼。
Suns general manager Ryan McDonough has set his team up brilliantly for the
future. The Suns could have as many as four first-round picks in this year's
loaded draft along with the ability to match any offer Eric Bledsoe receives
in restricted free agency.
麥當勞先生為這隻隊伍的未來打下了光明的基礎。明年最多會有四支首輪籤,
同時我們還有空間可以匹配所有報給布雷獸的合約。
If Bledsoe receives a max deal or somewhere around that number, the Suns
should still have in the area of $12 million to offer. Make no mistake:
Bledsoe is the top priority this offseason for Phoenix.
假設布雷獸獲得了頂約或者那附近的價碼,我們依然擁有一千兩百萬左右的空
間。布雷獸絕對是今年太陽休賽季的首選目標。
While $12 million might not be enough to go after the big stars like Carmelo
Anthony, the Suns can still add a very good player at that price point.
雖然一千兩百萬或許沒辦法簽下像甜瓜那樣的超級名媛,但我們仍然可以靠這個數字簽下
很棒的球員。
Phoenix wasn't expected to be in the position to bring in a star player quite
yet, but this season has shown that the Suns aren't far off from being a
serious competitor. With warm weather, a young team that plays a fun style of
basketball and great management, Phoenix will be one of the more appealing
free-agent destinations out there.
太陽或許不是許多大牌名媛的首選,但這也不代表太陽不具有一定水準以上的競爭力。好
天氣,充滿蛋白質的年輕肉體團隊,快樂籃球,一個好經理,太陽其實可以是一個自由佳
麗們的好歸宿。
But which players should the Suns go after? Excluding the Big Three in Miami
and other veteran max players, here are five choices the Suns could pursue in
the 2014 offseason.
但究竟有哪些佳麗是我們值得追求的? 扣掉熱火三巨頭還有一些超級貴的頂薪名媛,以下
有個五個選擇。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Greg Monroe
葛蕾 夢露。
It may not be the wisest idea for the Phoenix Suns to tie up all of their
available cap space in an offer sheet to a restricted free agent, but testing
a team like the Pistons isn't a bad idea.
或許把所有薪資空間都塞滿對我們來說不是最瑞智的選擇,但畢竟我們還處與測試階段,
所以這也不是個壞主意。
If Phoenix can clear a little bit more salary between now and free agency,
signing Monroe to a maximum offer might be worth a shot. Just keep in mind
that Phoenix needs to keep max room available for Bledsoe so it can match his
offer sheet, no matter the size.
如果太陽從現在開始清出一些空間,用張頂約把夢露簽下來是值得一試的。畢竟要記住我
們同時還要不計任何代價把布雷獸留下。
Teams typically shy away from giving offers to restricted free agents unless
there's some doubt as to whether the team will match. With Andre Drummond and
Josh Smith on board, perhaps the Pistons would balk at singing Monroe at that
price.
一般情況下球隊通常不會主動提供新約給受限制球員,除非他們受到了一些別的報價,這
樣球團才會考慮是否要去匹配。對活塞來說,前場已經有了Andre Drummond 以及 Josh
Smith,他們不見得願意用這樣的價碼匹配夢露。
Adding a young frontcourt scorer and rebounder like Monroe would be ideal, as
that's really the one missing piece in Phoenix right now. This might be
unlikely, but it could be worth pursuing.
要是能夠簽下夢露這樣具有內限得分還有籃板的大個子對太陽來說就是補上了我們最需要
的死穴。雖然有點困難,但是值得去試試。
2. Gordon Hayward
歌德 海舞德。
Like Monroe, Hayward is a restricted free agent. The only difference is, Utah
seems much, much more likely to match on any offer considering Hayward fills
a need and has plenty of value around the league.
像夢蘿一樣,海舞德也是個受限制球員。唯一不同的地方是,爵士似乎會不計代價的匹配
所有報價。
It's fun to think about Hayward in Phoenix next to Goran Dragic and Bledsoe,
though. The Suns would have arguably the best perimeter attack in basketball
with that trio.
Unfortunately, even a max offer feels like a waste of seven valuable
free-agency days for the Suns. It seems like a foregone conclusion that the
Jazz will match any offer given to Hayward, just as the Suns will with
Bledsoe.
想像一下,海舞德搭配屠龍刀連線,這會是一個多麼巨有攻擊破壞力的後場組合。很可惜
的是,像太陽會不計代價留下布雷獸一樣,海舞大概也逃不出爵士的魔掌。
However, if there is any indication that Utah has a change of heart or that
Hayward is willing to force his way out publicly, expect Phoenix to be at the
forefront of the list of suitors for his services.
然而,只要有那麼一點跡象顯示爵士突然改變心意,我們可以預期太陽準備磨刀刀霍霍向
海舞德。
3. Luol Deng
露兒 丹丹。
What seems more likely is that the Suns will stay in their projected price
range and go after unrestricted free agents. There's just too many hoops and
the potential to end up empty-handed with restricted free agents.
已目前來說,太陽比較傾向於朝非限制球員這一塊去努力。因為要去搞一個受限制球員,
其實有太多不確定性。
If the Suns are looking to add a veteran wing, Deng could fit the bill.
Although Phoenix may be better served to skew young and find a better
three-point shooter, Deng's defense would certainly be welcomed on the
perimeter.
如果我們想要增加一個有經驗的側翼,丹丹會是個好主意。雖然太陽更傾向於尋找一個年
輕而且更好的三分射手,但是丹丹的防守毫無疑問可以加強我們的側翼。
Given the disastrous situation in Cleveland, it seems more and more likely
that Deng will be looking for a new home. Deng isn't a true star, but next to
Dragic and Bledsoe, the Suns would have an awfully good core to build around.
從現在像災難般的處境來看,不難預料丹丹想找個新家。她不能算是一個真正的球星,但
我們已經有了屠龍刀連線當做核心,她會是一個很棒的綠葉。
Deng won't be cheap, and Phoenix will have to fend off teams that are in more
of a "win now" mode, but this could work.
丹丹不便宜,不過如果太陽想要”現在就獲勝”,這方案可行。
4. Trevor Ariza
崔兒芙 愛里莎。
Trevor Ariza may not be one of the biggest names or even one of the best
available free agents, but he might be the best fit for Phoenix.
愛里莎不是今年的大牌名媛之一,但她可能會是最適合太陽的球員。
Ariza is an incredibly capable three-point shooter, particularly from the
corners. He's also an excellent defender with plenty of size, which would
give Phoenix one of the most formidable perimeter defenses in all of the
league.
愛里莎有很棒的外線,特別是在底線。她同時能夠防守多個位置,能夠提供太陽非常棒的
防守能量。
If Ariza were to accept an offer somewhere in the range of $7 million a year,
that would give Phoenix the ability to go out and get another free agent in
addition to bringing back Bledsoe. That may be enticing, especially if the
Suns aren't in love with any of the higher-dollar free agents.
如果愛里莎願意接受一年七百萬左右的價碼,那太陽便有空間去簽下另一個好淑女,同時
匹配布雷獸的報價。這很實際,尤其太陽對那種超貴大咖不是特別有興趣。
It's highly unlikely that Ariza will be Phoenix's primary target, but he'd be
a really nice pickup if any of the bigger projected targets failed to
materialize.
很顯然愛里莎不會是太陽的主要選擇,但若是其他妃子都失敗,她也是個不錯的備案。
5. Carmelo Anthony
卡麥蘿 安海瑟妮
Admittedly, it's a little difficult to see Anthony leaving a bigger contract
in New York to play in a smaller market like Phoenix for less money. But with
that said, it seems safe to assume that Anthony will explore his options in
free agency based on what he told Rafi Kohan of the New York Observer earlier
this season:
坦白說,要安海瑟妮離開紐約這個大市場,放棄更大張的合約來到鳳凰城是很困難的。但
我們若是根據一些之前的訊息可以知道,安海瑟妮似乎想在自由市場上面試試水溫,她曾
在紐約媒體的訪問中這麼說過:
I want to be a free agent. I think everybody in the NBA dreams to be a free
agent at least one time in their career. It’s like you have an evaluation
period, you know. It’s like if I’m in the gym and I have all the coaches,
all the owners, all the GMs come into the gym and just evaluate everything I
do. So yes, I want that experience.
我想要當個自由球員。我認為所有佳麗都喜歡享受被追求的感覺。這就像個估價大會,你
知道的,所有GM,所有球團,所有教練會來到球場內評估的你這個人。所以是的,我希望
有這樣的經驗。
Anthony may want to join forces with another star, and Phoenix has two
up-and-coming ones in Dragic and Bledsoe.
安海瑟妮會想跟其他球星合作,而太陽有著已經可以算是球星,而還持續進步的屠龍刀連
線。
Phoenix has the assets (draft picks, expiring deals, players on rookie-scale
deals) to make a big-time trade to clear some cap space before free agency in
an attempt to go after Anthony.
太陽有足夠的籌碼 (樂透籤,到期合約,球員,新秀約) 來做些大交易來清出薪資空間來
試著吸引追求安海瑟妮。
With a core of Dragic, Bledsoe, Anthony and the means to possibly acquire
another impact player via trade, the Suns would instantly become a
championship contender. If that's what Anthony is looking for, Phoenix should
command his attention this offseason. Very few franchises are in better shape
going forward.
有著小帥哥,布雷獸跟安海瑟妮當核心,代表我們很可能會通過交易來獲得另一個有影響
力的名媛,那麼太陽會立刻升級成為總冠軍賽競爭者。如果這是就是安海瑟妮所要的,那
麼鳳凰城完全可以在這個休賽季承諾她 (就像去年火箭)。畢竟以前景來看沒幾支球隊可
以跟我們相比。
Besides, if Anthony can't team with LeBron James, maybe "Mini LeBron" will be
an acceptable substitute.
另外值得一提的是,如果安海瑟妮始終無法跟雷霸龍共結連理,那麼"小雷霸龍"也是個可
以接受的方案吧。
