Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr has faced a lot of questions during his short
stewardship of the Suns, but the only question to ask after Wednesday's trade
with Charlotte is whether he was wearing a ski mask. The deal for Jason
Richardson, Jared Dudley and a 2010 second-round pick cost him only Raja
Bell, Boris Diaw and Sean Singletary, and it immediately restores the Suns'
flagging hopes of breaking back into the West's upper crust.
For that, he can thank Bobcats coach Larry Brown. This is the danger when you
hire Larry -- that he'll almost immediately want to trade everyone on his
roster and that the people in charge won't have enough spine or clout to wave
off his requests.
Clearly, the Bobcats don't qualify on the latter point. This has all the
markings of a Larry deal, as he's trading a proven scorer for a veteran role
player he has coached before (Bell). Besides, nobody finds it plausible that
Michael Jordan slipped away from the golf course long enough to broker a
five-player trade -- clearly his trigger-happy coach was the one providing
the impetus.
太陽總管Steve Kerr上任沒多就遇到不少問題,週三這筆與山貓的交易後,現在
只有一個問題:"他們有搶劫山貓嗎?"
太陽得到了Richardson,Dudley和2010年第二輪選秀權,但他們只送出Bell,Diaw和
Singletary,這可能會讓太陽馬上變回西區強權.
對於這些,太陽隊可以好好感謝山貓教頭Larry Brown,因為老布朗說過他可以
交易陣中的任何一名球員,而山貓高層也幾乎不反駁他的提議.
很明顯的,這次山貓也同樣沒有拒絕老布朗的提案,這可能要算在他身上一筆,
用已經證明能飆分的好手換來他以前執教過的球員(Bell).這筆五人交易應該沒有人
會聯想到MJ,因為他現在正忙著在果嶺上玩耍,顯而易見的這筆交易完全是老布朗一手
促成的.
So this time, it's Charlotte fans asking the questions. For starters, why did
the team include Dudley? The trade worked without him, and he's an
inexpensive quality performer because he's still on his rookie contract.
A bigger question, however, is this one: How are the Bobcats going to score?
They were 26th in the NBA in offensive efficiency, and were 30th before
Richardson came back from an early-season injury. To trade him for two role
players essentially damns Charlotte to finish at or near the bottom of the
league in offense -- it's inconceivable that the team could replace his 21.3
points per 40 minutes with the likes of Bell and Diaw.
Richardson also is a great fit in Phoenix, especially if the Suns revert to
playing more up-tempo. He's a high-flying finisher in transition, but he also
led the NBA in 3-pointers made last season and is hitting 45.6 percent on 3s
this season. With post threats Amare Stoudemire and Shaquille O'Neal to set
him up, one shudders to think how many triples he can rain in with the Suns.
因此這一次輪到山貓球迷來發問了。首先要問的是,為什麼球隊要把Dudley
交易掉?即使是不加上他,交易也不會因此失敗,而且他還是領新秀的合約,所以他是
一個物超所值的球員。
儘管如此,這裡還有一個更大的疑問就是:山貓接下來如何得分?他們的進攻
效率在NBA聯盟已經是排在第26名,甚至在賽季初期理Richardson因傷還未歸隊之前,
他們曾經排在聯盟倒數第一名. 如今把他交易出去而換來了兩個角色球員,一定會讓山
貓原本就很糟糕的進攻再次成為聯盟最差.很難想像球隊會用一個平均出場40分鐘能得
21.3分的球員來換Bell 和 Diaw.
很適合太陽的球風,特別是太陽打算重新玩小球的時候。他非常善於在進攻轉換
中得分,同時他上個球季還在NBA的三分排行榜相當出色,本賽季他的三分球命中率高達
45.6%.太陽的內線有Stoudemire和大歐,他們的牽制力足以讓Richardson完全爆發,很難
想像他會在太陽如何地狂噴三分了.
Dudley is 23 but plays much older -- he's a subpar athlete but a smart,
strong combo forward with a knack for rebounding and scoring around the
basket. The second-year forward figures to fill Diaw's role as a reserve
forward, though it's possible he could supplant Matt Barnes at small forward
if he plays well.
From Charlotte's end, Diaw is the key to the deal. Theoretically, he solves
the team's glaring hole at power forward, though in practice he's hardly
bigger than Dudley. Although he's an undersized 4, he's capable of defending
the position and can take advantage of slower bigs at the other end with his
ballhandling skill. However, Diaw is a mediocre shooter and a reluctant
scorer; in this sense, he strongly resembles another former Brown favorite,
Derrick McKey.
Bell had been visibly declining over the past two seasons and is probably
better suited to a bench role at this point in his career. That might happen
if the Bobcats opt to use D.J. Augustin and Raymond Felton together in the
backcourt. Brown will value Bell's feistiness, but his offensive output and
lateral movement aren't what they once were.
Charlotte gets one other benefit -- a $5.4 million cap savings in the key
summer of 2010, thanks to Bell's expiring contract. If the Bobcats don't
re-sign Felton, May or Adam Morrison, they could be about $12 million under a
projected cap of $60 million (the exact amount would depend on the salary
slot for next year's draft pick); although it's highly unlikely that a LeBron
James or Chris Bosh would choose the Queen City, several lesser stars also
will be on the market that summer.
Dudley僅僅23歲,但他打球相當成熟,雖然運動能力不突出,可是他打得相當聰明
,他在籃下能得分且有籃板能力,是個不錯的搖擺人.如果他表現不錯的話,他足以彌補
Diaw離開的空缺,雖然他也許還是只能當Barnes的替補.
從山貓的角度來看,Diaw是這筆交易的關鍵。理論上來說,他彌補了球隊大前鋒
位置上的漏洞,然而事實上他並沒有比Dudley高多少。儘管他是個小號的大前鋒,
但是他有能力防守這個位置上的球員,並且在進攻時,他能充分利用自己成熟的持球
技巧來攻擊對方速度慢的長人。儘管如此,Diaw只算是一個平凡的射手,一個很勉強
的得分手;從這個角度上來看,他真的很像以前布朗的最愛:Derrick McKey。
Bell在過去的兩個賽季裡明顯衰退,也許在他職業生涯的這個階段,更加適合
他的位置是替補。如果山貓排除D.J. Augustin 和Raymond Felton的後場組合的話,
那麼上面所說的就會成為事實.老布朗肯定會物盡其用,充分考慮Bell的能力,但是他在
進攻端的貢獻以及橫向移動方面已經大不如前了。
山貓還會有一個其他的好處.在2010年的夏天將會得到540萬的薪資空間,因為
Bell的合約2010年剛好到期。如果山貓那時也不和Felton,May或 Morrison續約的話,
他們可以低於薪資門檻6000萬,而有著約1200萬的空間,雖然James 和 Bosh不太可能來
山貓,但是也有其他不錯的自由球員.
But in the short term, Kerr is the one who saves his employers a few ducats
with this deal. The new players make nearly $1 million less than the old ones
in 2008-09, and that amount doubles because the Suns are over the luxury-tax
line. Although a portion of that advantage will go away once Phoenix signs
another player to meet league roster requirements, the team still comes out
ahead on the deal.
Perhaps the best thing about this deal is that it's a turning point away from
the Suns' recent fascination with being a bad imitation of the Spurs.
Instead, it marks a move back toward the running, gunning style that had them
near the top in the first place. Bell and Diaw were arguably Phoenix's two
best defenders (though that's a backhanded compliment these days), and
Richardson's explosiveness has never translated terribly well into the quick,
short steps needed for effective D.
In the wake of his trade, look for the Suns to re-establish themselves as an
elite offensive team and try to overwhelm teams with their scoring prowess.
With four big-time offensive players in the starting lineup and a fifth
potent scorer (Leandro Barbosa) coming off the bench, it doesn't seem
implausible that they could lead the league in offensive efficiency in the
final three-quarters of the season. If so, those "What's wrong with Phoenix?"
questions might quickly become a distant memory.
短期來看,Kerr經這筆交易替太陽省下不少錢,之前08-09賽季他們省了100多萬,
可是應該要加倍去算,因為他們超過豪華稅門檻,假使他們為了讓陣中球員達到一定
數目而去簽其他人的話,這麼省錢的目的便不會這麼明顯,但是對他們還是有益的.
太陽來說,最好的莫過於脫離現在的苦境,他們曾經想學馬刺的球風,但是到頭
來還是要走他們的不歸路:跑轟.Bell和Diaw是太陽陣中不用爭議的防守高手,雖然他們最
近常被開汽水,而Richardson從未在防守上被證明過.
這筆交易之後,我們期待著太陽能在次重回聯盟中最會得分的球隊,用得分讓對
手崩潰,太陽的先發有4位是一流的攻擊好手,而第5位Barbosa也會從板凳上爆發,不難想
像他們會在剩餘的3/4球季在得分排行榜排第一.
假如一切真如所說,那麼"What's wrong with Phoenix?" 這個疑問
將會永遠成為人們心中的回憶.
