原文 http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/15860807.html （from明尼蘇達地方報） Trade has Green flying high again 交易讓Green再次飛高高 By JERRY ZGODA, Star Tribune Last update: February 21, 2008 - 10:05 PM The Timberwolves transformed Gerald Green from unhappy to ecstatic when they traded him back home to Houston at Thursday's 2 p.m. trading deadline. 灰狼在交易截止日之前作了這筆交易讓Green回到老家休士頓 Green從不爽變成爽歪歪 The Wolves traded the young guard who has found slam-dunk celebrity but precious little playing time back home to Houston for Rockets swingman Kirk Snyder, a 2010 second-round pick and cash. 灰狼交易了這個去年拿過灌籃大賽冠軍的年輕後衛，換得火箭的搖擺人-科科師奶以及 2010年的第二輪選秀權和一點現金。 Green's agent last month asked the Wolves to trade his client, one of five players acquired from Boston last summer in the Kevin Garnett trade. The Wolves did so on Thursday because basketball boss Kevin McHale said he was "99.9 percent convinced" Green would not re-sign with the team this summer. Green will become an unrestricted free agent in July because last fall, the Wolves did not exercise a fourth-year option on his contract for next season. Green的經紀人上個月曾經要求灰狼把Green換出去，Green是去年夏天KG那筆大交易中的其中一員。灰狼在禮拜四真的這麼做了，因為老闆Kevin McHale說他今年夏天99.9% 不會和Green續約。Green七月時將是不受限制的自由球員，因為灰狼去年秋天並沒有為了下個球季和Green續約而執行4年的選擇權。 "It's like a dream come true," Green told a Houston television station. "Never in my life did I think this would happen." 「這簡直是美夢成真，」Geen告訴休士頓電台。「我這輩子從來沒想過這真的能實現！」 Wolves coach Randy Wittman said Green, who entered the NBA directly from a Houston area high school in the 2005 NBA draft, became ensnared in a "logjam" of young wing players including Ryan Gomes, Rashad McCants, Corey Brewer and Randy Foye. 灰狼教練Randy Wittman這樣形容2005年從休士頓地區的高中直接進入NBA的Green：變成一個陷入"logjam"（？）的年輕搖擺人，像是Ryan Gomes, Rashad McCants, Corey Brewer和Randy Foye。 McHale said it became apparent in time that Green "probably was farthest away" from being ready to play among all the Wolves' young players. 灰狼的老闆McHale說，很明顯的，Green已經不再準備好和灰狼的年輕球員們一起打球。 "The coach is playing a lot of young guys already," McHale said, "and it's impossible to play them all." 「教練已經用了一隊年輕的球員來比賽，」灰狼老闆McHale說，「要讓他們全部都上場，這是不可能的。」 Snyder, a physical 6-6 player Wittman projects at small forward, led Nevada to its first NCAA tournament Sweet 16 in 2004, but the 16th overall pick that summer has struggled to find his way in the NBA. A restricted free agent this summer, he is with his fourth team four seasons. He played nine games for the Rockets this season. 6呎6吋的Snyder打小前鋒，2004年率領Nevada大學殺進16強，不過當年第16順位被選進NBA 的Snyder卻打的不太如意。他今年夏天是限制的自由球員，灰狼是他四個球季以來的第四支隊伍。Snyder今年在火箭只打了9場比賽。 Asked if he considered the trade a gamble that might leave fans asking three years from now why the Wolves dealt Green, McHale said, "It could be. In three years, come see me." 灰狼老闆McHale被問到，是否考慮到這筆交易是場賭博，也許三年後球迷會問「為什麼當年要把Green交易出去」，McHale說「也許吧，如果三年後真的不爽...咬我阿」（美國鄉民：三年後你還會在灰狼嗎？不見得吧科科） Walker still waits Antoine Walker was inactive for the game on Thursday, when the trade deadline passed and he was still a Timberwolf. "I'm disappointed," said Walker, a 12-year NBA veteran and former All Star who wanted to be traded to a contender. "It's disheartening. I want to play a lot, and it's obvious I'm not a part of the future here. They're obviously going young and I do understand what they're trying to do. I have to be respectful to that. I wish it never got to this point, but I have to deal with it." Walker played eight minutes in the first half Tuesday and did not play in the second half. The Wolves bought the contract of veteran Juwan Howard before the season when they couldn't trade him to a contender. McHale said a buyout of Walker's contract is unlikely and Walker said, "I'm not willing to give up a lot of money." Walker said his trade prospects might change this summer because he'll have only one year left on a contract that will pay him $9.3 million next season. 這部分在說Walker（雖然有提到我們的豬王...不過和我們無關Orz） ---- 結論：灰狼今年夏天也不會和Green續約，加上Green的經紀人有要求把Green換出去，所以促成這次的交易。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.160.245.138 ※ 編輯: barkleyc 來自: 218.160.245.138 (02/25 04:20)
