Utah Jazz: Williams expected to sign on until 2013-14 有錢能使伊推磨 By Ross Siler The Salt Lake Tribune As early as a minute after midnight on July 1, the Jazz can offer Deron Williams a five-year contract worth upwards of $80 million, a deal that could keep the third-year guard in Utah through the 2013-14 season. 七月一號的合約談判開始之後，爵士可望送給低位兒一份大禮：五年、價值高達八千萬的頂級合約，好將他綁在鹽湖城直到2013-2014球季。 It would be a defining moment for the franchise, but if Saturday was any indication, it should be little more than a formality. 這名年輕控衛的身價與前途無庸置疑，只是合約未簽訂前，誰也沒能說個準，不過從他週六的談話中倒是可以窺見一些端倪。 "That's the plan," Williams said. "I definitely love it here. I think we have a great team, a great coaching staff and have a chance to win. That's the thing that's most important to me." 「希望能夠按部就班把合約搞定，」低位兒說，「我愛這個地方，而且我有一群很棒的隊友，」「教練團也很優秀，這是一支能夠贏球的球隊，」「以上這些才是我最在乎的。」 "That would be an important thing for this franchise," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan added, "and I think that's the direction they probably are leaning. I don't think they'll let him get away." 「合約對他來說會是一項重要的肯定，」龍哥說，「想當然爾球團傾向用頂級合約續簽他，」「他們應該不至於會蠢到放走這尾大魚吧！」 Williams said he would discuss the extension with his agent this summer. The extension would not kick in until next season, but the Jazz can offer Williams more money - and sooner - than any other team. 低位兒說他暑假會跟經紀人討論合約的事，雖然合約展延是下季的事兒，但面對諸多對手的虎視眈眈，爵士當然希望愈早搞定他愈好。 The question is whether Williams would follow the path of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, opting to sign a shorter three-year extension. 問題在於低位兒是否會跟呂布及典韋一樣，只願意簽比較短的三年展延合約。 Williams has made his case to be a maximum contract player, averaging 18.8 points and 10.5 assists as a second-team all-NBA selection. Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said owner Larry Miller would make the final call. 低位兒在這個球季證明了自己的頂級身價，平均18.8分10.5助攻，並且還是年度第二隊成員，不過總管歐康納說癩痢米樂才是有錢的大爺。 The Jazz's exclusive negotiating window with Williams runs from July 1 to Oct. 31. Williams said he would like to finalize a deal before USA Basketball training camp in late July. 爵士與低位兒的合約談判將由七月一號開始到十月底，不過低位兒希望七月底奧運訓練營開始前這件事就能塵埃落定。 C.J. to stay? 西街要不要 After three seasons with the Jazz, C.J. Miles describes himself as almost like brothers with Williams. Miles, Ronnie Brewer and Paul Millsap are the "Three Amigos," so described because if you see one of them, you'll likely see all three. 在當了三年的阿爵之後，西街形容自己跟低位兒早已情同手足，他、小酒跟小米三個人更好比劉關張，因為不管你看到誰，另外兩個一定如影隨形。 His first preference would be to stay with the Jazz, but Miles is expected to go through a second summer as a restricted free agent. The Jazz are expected to tender him a $1.2 million qualifying offer that would enable them to match any deal Miles would sign. 西街目前最希望的是能夠繼續為爵士效力，但第二年他將有可能會成為受限自由球員，爵士預計會提供他一份120萬的合約，好抵銷任何其他球隊可能出的價碼。 "Of course, I feel like right now the best thing for me is to be able to play consistently and more minutes to help myself and my game to be able to grow even more," Miles said. "I think I've shown as far as the coaches and especially to myself that I can play in this league." 「當然我期盼能有更多更穩定的上場時間，」西街說，「我想這對我自己或對球隊都會是個幫助，」「我這季的表現應該能夠證明我是塊打NBA的料。」 Miles, 21, averaged 5.0 points in 11.3 minutes this season, often bouncing from the starting lineup as an injury replacement to the 11th man on the bench. 這位21歲的年輕人本季平均5分、上場11.3分鐘，雖然多半時間都在板凳上暢飲開特力，但只要隊上出現重大傷兵，他就會頂替先發上陣。 With his free-agent future uncertain, Miles opted not to play in the Rocky Mountain Revue last summer. Miles said he didn't think the Jazz would ask him to play in this year's summer league. 上一季在前途未卜的情況下，西街缺席了夏季聯盟的比賽，不過他說今年球團應該不會再叫他去了。 The Jazz have a surplus of young shooting guards with Brewer, Kyle Korver and Morris Almond, which could leave Miles expendable. "You could look at that that way," Sloan said, "but you can't throw away your future just because of numbers." 爵士目前在得分後衛這個位置上可說是人滿為患，小酒、凱兒、阿蒙都是可用之兵，使得西街地位看似岌岌可危。「你是可以用人滿為患來形容沒錯，」龍哥說，「但你不應該只因為人數多寡而捨棄未來。」 Counting Miles, the Jazz would have 14 players under contract. O'Connor prefers not to fill the 15th spot on the roster in case he has to take back an extra player in a two-for-one trade. The Jazz also own the No. 23 pick in the June 26 draft. 連西街一起算進去的話，爵士目前的名單中已經有14個球員，不過歐康納不打算那麼快就把15人名單填滿，這是為了後續可能的交易預作準備（例如以一換二），另外在六月廿六號的選秀會上爵士還擁有一個2X號的選秀權。 Personnel file 人人有份 The Jazz are expected to exercise the third-year option in Millsap's contract before June 30. Jason Hart faces a similar deadline to decide about opting out of the second year of his contract, worth $2.5 million. 爵士預計在六月底前會啟用小米第三年合約的選擇權，是否繼續執行哈特第二年合約也是在差不多的時間點。 Both Chicago and Phoenix have requested permission to speak with assistant Tyrone Corbin for their head coaching vacancies, while the Suns have inquired about assistant Phil Johnson. 陣中無教頭的公牛跟太陽對於助理教練柯本都表達了垂涎之意，太陽甚至對另一位助理教練飛兒強生也頗有興趣。 With Miles' qualifying offer, the Jazz have a payroll of $62.5 million for 2008-09. The league's salary cap for this season was $55.6 million and its luxury-tax threshold was $67.9 million. 連西街合約一起算進去的話，爵士下一季的總和薪資為6250萬，聯盟的薪資上限為5560萬，豪華稅的門檻則是6790萬。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.64.85.101
