http://ppt.cc/gnux Rockets see reason for hope with free agency approaching 以下大概翻譯一下，可能翻得很零碎... 火箭在選秀過後得到了年輕的PF海，可是仍需解決我們的主力中鋒和充滿不確定性的PG Morey表示 "我們著眼於擁有極高天份的球員，我們目標就是回到總冠軍競爭隊伍的一員。" (每年都這樣說.....) 第一個想到的大物就是小胖DW(死胖子當年就是你打爆我們的)，可是胖子目前似乎只接受布魯克林籃網和家鄉小牛的Offer。還有其他的可能性，包括黃蜂的Eric Gordon以及溜馬的Roy Hibbert 火箭缺乏的維他命C也放在注意很久的公牛Asik身上，Asik目前前面有Noah檔著，來這邊我們可以給他更多錢還有先發位置喔 Camby想要在火箭終老，所以這點應該是穩了。火箭也將會跟進Lee的報價。 Dragic帥哥想要先發，可是Lowry狀況仍然不明，所以PG這點還有變數。抓雞和Morey以及 McHale上個月在義大利有碰個面，雙方都希望能留在彼此身邊。(帥哥誰不要?) Morey打算轟轟烈烈的拼個大咖來弄個冠軍競爭者的陣容，所以周六晚上Morey會開始瞎拼下面是一些整理夢中情人 Eric Gordon - G 黃蜂 Roy Hibbert - C 溜馬舊愛 Dragic - G Camby - C Lee - G 勢在必得 Omer Asik - C 公牛 Gordon, Hibbert, Asik都是受限制自由球員 As another NBA draft came and went and as the Rockets added to their load of young power forwards, they did notice they had done nothing to fill the void at center or solve the uncertainty at point guard. That, they hope, begins Saturday night. At 11 p.m., the NBA’s free-agency period begins, with the Rockets searching for answers they did not find on draft night Thursday or during the long hours of trade talks that built hopes throughout the weeks beforehand. “Obviously we have interest in top-level talent,” Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said Friday. “We’ve been very straightforward about what we need to do to get back to being a championship team.” Few franchise players on the free-agent market can be considered top-level talent. Brooklyn Nets guard Deron Williams is considered the prize, but he is considered open only to remaining with the Nets or returning to his hometown of Dallas. The Rockets are not expected to pursue him. But they will reach out to a pair of coveted free agents who for different reasons might be long shots just as great. New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon and Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert are restricted free agents and in their teams’ plans. The Rockets had hopes they could put together an offer the Hornets might be hesitant to match, but the Hornets’ cost-cutting trade with the Washington Wizards greatly strengthened their position to match any offer sheet Gordon signs. The Pacers are expected to be just as determined to match offers to Hibbert, reducing the pursuits by the Rockets and other teams into more due diligence efforts than determined quests. But the search for a center could take the Rockets to another restricted free agent, but one they might have a much better chance of getting to move. The Rockets have repeatedly tried to trade for Chicago Bulls center Omer Asik in recent years, especially leading up to the 2011 trade deadline. They can now take their case directly to him. Feelings are mutual Considered one of the league’s top defensive centers, Asik is a backup in Chicago behind Joakim Noah. The Bulls could be hesitant to match offers he receives when he can command the salary of a starting center while still coming off the bench behind Noah. He will not be the only top defensive center in the Rockets’ sights. They also will work to keep Marcus Camby in Houston following his strong late-season cameo after the trade deadline move from Portland. Camby hopes to finish his career here, and the Rockets have made no secret of their plans to give him that chance. The Rockets also intend to match any offers guard Courtney Lee, a restricted free agent, gets though Lee likely will get more than enough interest to test that. Their top priority is retaining guard Goran Dragic, who became central to their plans with his play after Kyle Lowry’s illness. Dragic is an unrestricted free agent and has said he wants to be a starting point guard, an opportunity that might not be clear if Lowry returns. Dragic also has offered the Rockets every indication he would like to be back, both in a postseason meeting with coach Kevin McHale and Morey and again last month in Treviso, Italy. “We want him back, and he has said he wants to be back,” Morey said. “That ’s a good way to start.” But the Rockets will be hesitant to sign free agents who will eat into their cap room if they consider those players only of short-term benefit. They could make those sorts of additions, but that likely will only come after other options, including trades, have been explored throughout the summer and then likely only in the sort of partially guaranteed contract they used to sign Samuel Dalembert last season. GM eyes big picture “We would definitely make solid additions, but they have to be within the context of keeping our flexibility so we don’t hurt our chances at any point to get a more significant player,” Morey said. Before it comes to that, Morey will go free-agent shopping beginning Saturday night with much larger goals in mind. “The free-agent market is like it is every year,” he said. “We’re looking for guys we can add to the team that fit into the bigger piece of the puzzle of being a championship contender.” jonathan.feigen@chron.com twitter.com/jonathan_feigen TAKING AIM The opening bell on the NBA’s free-agency period will begin at 11 p.m. today. The Rockets will set their sights on a variety of targets, hoping to come away with a center, a star or both. Long shots: Eric Gordon, G, New Orleans Hornets The Rockets will reach out to gauge Gordon’s interest, but any hopes that they can make an offer the Hornets would not match dimmed with New Orleans’ cost-cutting trade with the Wizards. Roy Hibbert, C, Indiana Pacers The top free-agent center is also a restricted free agent. It might take a max contract for the Pacers to think twice about matching, but the Rockets won ’t go that far. Familiar faces: Goran Dragic, G, Rockets An unrestricted free agent, Dragic is likely the Rockets’ top priority and has given them signs he’d like to return, but he also is seeking a starting job and will be heavily pursued by the Blazers, Raptors and others. Marcus Camby, C, Rockets The Rockets starter at the end of the season, Camby sought to finish his career in his adopted hometown and the Rockets traded for him at the deadline with plans to bring him back. Courtney Lee, G, Rockets A restricted free agent, Lee likely will receive starting guard type-salary offers. The Rockets still have Kevin Martin under contract at the position, but have said they plan to match offers Lee receives. High priority: Omer Asik, C, Bulls The Rockets have pursued trades for Asik, an outstanding defensive center for several seasons. He is a restricted free agent, but a backup in Chicago so the Bulls might think twice about matching an offer sheet. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.113.176 ※ 編輯: zzahoward 來自: 122.126.113.176 (06/30 22:51) ※ 編輯: zzahoward 來自: 122.126.113.176 (06/30 22:53) ※ 編輯: zzahoward 來自: 122.126.113.176 (06/30 22:55)
