With Kevin Durant, they should be. He is quickly proving that he is good enough to be the best player on a championship contending team. Their improvement from 2009 to 2010 reflects his development from a good young player to a superstar. The team also has a budding young star at the point guard position with Russell Westbrook who the team has under contract for another 3 seasons at just 5 million per. This team has just 40 million in payroll and no glaring salaries. The team also features two excellent complimetary pieces with Jeff Green and James Harden, who are also in their rookie contracts. OKC also has youngsters Serge Ibaka and Eric Maynor under contract for the next 4 years and both appear to be quickly developing into solid contributors at the NBA level. With their core players still extremely young, they were able to put a scare into the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. They could be primed to make another jump next season into true contender territory. 優勢：現在，雷霆被認為是一隻前途大好的球隊。有KD在陣中，(被這樣想)也是理所當然。 KD在很短的時間內已經證明他夠資格成為一隻有冠軍相的球隊裡的王牌。雷霆2009年到2010 年的進步反映出KD從一個潛力新秀銳變為一個超級巨星。雷霆陣中還有另外一個明日之星— 控衛Russ，他最少還會待在雷霆三年，一年只要5M。雷霆目前的薪資總額只有40M，而且沒有什麼拖油瓶。雷霆還有兩個對球隊有重要貢獻的球員—Jeff Green與James Harden，他倆現在也是新秀約。他們還有很多潛力新秀，像Serge Ibaka與Eric Maynor，這兩個在雷霆至少還要待上四年，而他們已經展現出出色的潛力，也很有機會成為聯盟中的出色球員。這隻球的的核心成員都非常年輕，而且他們今年第一輪讓湖人嚇出一身冷汗。他們能夠成為一流的隊伍，讓自己在下一季成為真正的冠軍競爭者。 The Bad: When your worst contracts are Nick Collison at 6.7 million and Nenad Krstic at 5.8 million, there isn't a whole lot to be upset about. 5 points and 5 rebounds is not nearly enough for a player making nearly 7 million, granted Collison is a toughnosed polayer and quality clubhouse influence. Their starting center, Krstic has not been what the team had hoped when they signed him as a free agent out of Europe coming off a leg injury. The team’s front court is really mediocre, as the Lakers exposed late in their series. Jeff Green is a nice piece, but not built to anchor a front line. Nenad Krstic and Nick Collison are the only real burdens on their salary cap and both are in need of upgrades as they are borderline rotation players. The good news is that both are entering the final years of their contracts. 劣勢：當一隻球隊裡最難看的合約是Nick Collison 的6.7M與Nenad Krstic的5.8M，實在沒什麼好沮喪的。5分5籃板的數據，想拿7M確實有點困難，但Collison在場上是一個硬漢，也是休息室的領袖。先發中鋒Krstic從歐洲回歸，腿傷也復原，但並沒有作到當初簽約時球隊對他的期待。雷霆的前場確實不出色，跟湖人對戰的比賽更突顯了這個缺點。Green是個很棒的球員，但他無法克制(湖人的)前場。Nick Collison與Nenad Krstic是雷霆僅有的較大的合約，如果雷霆對前場進行補強，他們將會被擠到輪值的末端。好消息是他們的合約都走到最後一年了。 The other spurious variable in the mix as to whether Oklahoma City decides to make a major move is finances. Part of the reason the Thunder organization has been so patient in building with young players is that Clay Bennett and his investors paid $45 million to the City of Seattle to move the franchise. Not only that, but they paid $350 million for a Seattle franchise now appraised by Forbes to be worth $310 million in part because of the smaller market. The organization has a superstar, great enthusiastic fans, a relatively new arena, and a low payroll. They also appear to have some financial worries because the owners incurred great cost to bring the team where they are and now want to recoup some of those losses. It is not something any front office figure would go public with, but the alleged $400 million losses the NBA is claiming is not due to fan interest or gate receipts. It is from owners who bought in over the past ten years doing so in an inflated market. Bennett not only bought the team at a high price, but he went from Seattle to Oklahoma City with his purchase. This is not an issue that should be ignored. A stagnated economy where capital assets are depreciating in value, $45 million to leave Seattle, and playing in a smaller market might have some meaning in the franchise’s big picture. 另外一個假設變因是說，雷霆將視財政狀況來決定要不要做什麼大變動。主要的幾個理由：雷霆的FO很有耐心的以年輕球員建立基礎，這是因為老闆Clay Bennett跟他的投資團隊當年付了45M搬家費，還付了350M給西雅圖－而富比士現在評估西雅圖的市場價值不過310M，認為那裡是個小市場。雷霆現在有超級巨星，有死忠球迷，有相對上比較新的球場，而且薪資總額很低。不過他們感覺上似乎有點擔心，因為團隊為了把球隊搬來，付出了巨大的金額，現在他們也希望能夠收回一些損失。雖然FO不會講明，但聯盟400M的虧損不是因為球迷沒興趣或門票銷售額不佳可以解釋的。這是由於過去十年間球隊老闆的行為造成市場價值的過度膨脹。Clay Bennett不是一個唯一買貴的老闆，但他還要多付把球隊從西雅圖搬到OKC的錢。這不是一個無關緊要的問題。在目前經濟的停滯造成固定資產貶值的情況下，45M的搬家費與搬移到一個小市場城市也許對於FO的經營策略有所影響。 The team could stay the course and balance the bank book while the roster is still on the rookie scale. Few people would criticize that decision, but no superstar has been able to win a title without a quality, experienced supporting cast. 他們可以保持原樣，讓財政保持穩定，反正現在他們的球員大多都是新秀約。很少人會質疑這個決定。但一個超級巨星如果沒有一些有能力有經驗的球員幫忙，想拿冠軍很難的。 The Future: This team has a bright future with lots of cap space, and a roster filled with young, developing talent. The team's finances, however, may keep it from being able to make the necessary moves to capitalize on their tremendous young nucleus. The team must decide how aggressive it wants to be about contending for titles before their young stars reach their second contracts, and their core demands more money. If they can bring in some experienced veterens with contracts that run up in time for them to extend their superstars, everything should work out. As of July 1, they will only have three players on their roster who will not be in their rookie deals, and only Thabo Sefolosha will be signed beyond 2010-11. Such a dynamic gives them a surplus of young players who would be attractive to rebuilding teams if they choose to deal quantity for quality. 展望：雷霆有著光明的未來跟大筆薪資空間，球員依然年輕有潛力。但保留薪資空間對於跟這些年輕球員續約也是必要的。他們必須決定，在年輕球員換約，薪資漲價以前，對於爭奪冠軍要多積極。如果他們今年能夠補進一些經驗老道的球員來輔助他們的王牌，未來將會更順利。7月1日以前他們只有3個球員不是新秀約，而且只有Thabo合約會超過2011年。這個情形讓他們有機會利用這些年輕球員來看看能不能用潛力換實力。 Grade: A 總評：A -- 哲學的義務，是去除因誤解而生的幻想。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.168.231
