https://goo.gl/9CDZY1 Once veteran guard Jamal Crawford clears waivers and inks his two-year deal with the Timberwolves, Minnesota will have 11 players signed for next season. 一旦 Jamal Crawford 通過 waiver 程序，與灰狼隊簽下兩年合約，下一季球隊陣容中的保障約將達到11張。 That leaves four traditional roster spots to fill and two more two-way spots for players who will bounce back and forth between the NBA and the Wolves’ G-League franchise in Iowa. 而15人名單剩下四個空位，以及額外兩張雙向合約，可以在灰狼隊和愛荷華的農場球隊間自由升降。 But Tom Thibodeau, the Timberwolves coach and president of basketball operations, said Minnesota will only look to sign three more players to traditional deals, leaving Minnesota’s 15th roster spot open. 不過 Tom Thibodeau 只打算再簽下三名球員，保留名單中的第15個位置。 “We’ll look at three more,” Thibodeau said on the Sports Huddle on WCCO-830 AM on Sunday. “We’ll keep one (spot) probably open to keep an eye on guys the rest of the summer and in season. We like to have the flexibility with that 15th spot.” 「我們將再找三名球員。」Thibodeau 接受電台訪問中提到。「保留一個空位，隨時留意外界變化，可以讓我們操作更有彈性。」 Thibodeau suggested those three signings will include two reserve wings and a point guard to back up newly-signed starter Jeff Teague. Thibodeau feels good about Minnesota’s front-court depth. Thibodeau 暗示這三名球員將有兩名鋒線替補，和一名替補控衛。且對於前場深度表示滿意。 “We have good quality depth there and we also have the ability to move Jimmy (Butler) to the (power forward), so we can play small and that’ll give us a versatility that way,” Thibodeau said on the Sports Huddle. 「前場深度足夠，且如果要擺出矮小陣容的話，Jimmy (Butler)偶而也可打到四號。這使我們陣容更具變化。」Thibodeau 說道。 Included in that front-court depth is reserve center Cole Aldrich, who has been mentioned in many trade rumors as Minnesota attempted to clear salary cap space. Aldrich was repeatedly brought up in potential sign-and-trade deals with Indiana to bring C.J. Miles to Minnesota, but the Pacers reportedly struck a deal with Toronto on Sunday to send Miles to the Raptors. 當灰狼隊有騰出更多薪資空間的想法，替補中鋒 Cole Aldrich 的名字不時出現在交易傳聞中，像是近期和溜馬隊先簽後換 C.J. Miles，不過最終是暴龍隊和溜馬隊達成交易。 Thibodeau said Aldrich is still a part of the Timberwolves’ plans. Thibodeau 表示 Aldrich 仍舊在球隊計畫中。 “The thing is you have size, you need depth up front,” he said. “I think the way you have to build your team today is you need to have size and the ability to play small. You need to do both. So the quality depth up front is key.” 「擁有身材優勢之外，也需要深度。」他說道。「現在打造球隊，需要身材優勢，同時也有能力打小球。所以前場深度品質是關鍵。」 The Wolves currently have roughly just $3 million available in cap space. So if they don’t make any moves to clear more cap room, each of their remaining signings will likely be for league-minimum salaries. Still, Thibodeau seems to think the Wolves are in a good spot. 灰狼隊現階段大概僅剩下3M的薪資空間，若接下來沒有動作來清除薪資，之後的每一筆簽約只剩下老將底薪可運用。 “The one thing about this year in comparison to last year, the free agency is moving a lot slower,” Thibodeau said. “So there’s still a lot of players up on the board and we feel we’re going to have a good shot at some guys that can really play and we want to continue to look at the shooting component, and, of course, guys that can play defense, so (that’s what) we’ll be locked into as we go forward.” 「相較於去年夏天，今年自由球員市場步調較緩慢。」Thibodeau 說道。「所以目前市場上仍有許多球員待價而沽，且我們認為還有很好機會簽下可用之兵，持續找尋能增強外圍投射和防守的球員。」 --- 內容重點前面幾篇都有提到，目前陣容慢慢在微調成形中，未來看老席如何整合了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.229.185.117 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1499784140.A.1B8.html
