[外絮] 尼克終於忍痛放了Lin,只等...
Knicks Now Seem Set on Letting Lin Go
http://ppt.cc/6aEd
Linsanity is just about over in New York.
The Knicks plan to cut ties with Jeremy Lin on Tuesday night, according to a
person briefed on the decision, ending a brief, spectacular and now
bittersweet love affair between the 23-year-old point guard and his adoring
fan base. Lin will play next season for the Houston Rockets, who signed him
to a three-year, $25.1 million offer sheet that the Knicks have elected not
to match.
尼克在週二晚上決定,
與23歲的控球後衛-林書豪,結束這段短暫奇特而苦樂參半的戀情。
林將在下個賽季加入休斯頓火箭隊,他簽署一項為期三年,2510萬美元的報價單,
尼克選擇不匹配。
The Knicks are not expected to announce their decision until this evening,
and there is still a chance — albeit incredibly small — that it could be
reversed. But as of 4 p.m. the decision had been made and was considered
final by those with knowledge of the deliberations. Indeed, the deliberations
were said to be over.
尼克預計將宣布他們的決定,直到美國時間今天晚上,
仍然有一個機會 - 儘管機會小到令人難以置信 - 它還是可以逆轉。
但下午4時,基本上已完成審議。
The Knicks have first-refusal rights on Lin and by rule have until Tuesday at
11:59 p.m. Eastern time to either match the offer or let him walk.
尼克有林的優先拒絕報價權到東部時間晚上11:59,直到週二匹配報價,
決定跟,還是不跟。
The decision was ultimately financial, not emotional. The contract with
Houston includes a third-year balloon payment of $14.9 million, which would
have cost the Knicks another $35 million or more in luxury-tax penalties had
they matched the deal. The so-called poison pill was designed to dissuade the
Knicks.
這個決定終究是基於財務方面,不能感情用事。
與火箭的合同,包括第三年1490萬美元,這將要花費尼克奢侈稅3500萬美元以上。
所謂的毒藥合約的目的是要阻止尼克跟進。
The decision ends two weeks of suspense and speculation, which began when Lin
became a restricted free agent on July 1. Now will come the inevitable
backlash.
這一決定,結束了兩個星期以來的猜測,從林7月1日成為受限制自由球員開始。
現在必然面臨反彈。
Lin saved the Knicks’ season in February and instantly became their most
popular player in a decade, as well as a global phenomenon. Fans started at
least two online petitions to keep him last weekend when it became apparent
the Knicks were leaning toward letting him go. Twitter, blogs and fan forums
have been filled with anguished comments for days.
林在二月尼克賽季,瞬間就成了他們這十年內最喜愛的球員,
並且成為一個全球性的現象。
在最後一個週末當尼克傾向放棄林,球迷至少有兩組在線請願書,希望他留在尼克。
Twitter,部落格和球迷論壇已經充滿了痛苦意見好幾天。
The Knicks wanted to keep Lin, but his situation was complicated. Because he
was a restricted free agent, the Knicks had the right to match any offer. Yet
under N.B.A. cap rules, they could offer him no more than $16.13 million in a
three-year deal, and a maximum of $28.75 million over five years. Only a
rival team was allowed to include the third-year balloon payment.
尼克要保有林,但他的情況很複雜。
因為他是一個受限制自由球員,尼克隊有權利匹配任何報價。
然而,根據N.B.A.薪資帽規則,他們可以提供他在為期三年的合同,
不超過$1613萬美元,最大五年2875萬美元。並只允許一個對手球隊提出三年報價。
So it was up to Lin to set his own market value, by getting an outside offer.
He initially agreed with Houston on a three-year, $19.5 million deal,
including a $9.3 million balloon payment in the third year. That deal was
agreed to in principle but never signed.
所以這取決於林為自己創造外部市場價值。
他最初同意與休斯頓一項為期三年1950萬美元的交易,包括第三年930萬美元。
但沒有簽署。
When it became apparent that the Knicks would match, the Rockets increased
the third-year salary to $14.9 million, close to the maximum allowed. The
Knicks are already expected to be over the luxury-tax threshold, so Lin’s
salary would have cost them tens of millions more under the league’s more
punitive new system.
當尼克表明將匹配,火箭增加了第三年至$ 1490萬美元。
尼克已經超過奢侈稅起徵點,將面臨懲罰性的新制。
In recent days, two people briefed on the Knicks’ deliberations said it was
unlikely the team would keep Lin. Yet both cautioned that the decision was
not final and would ultimately be made by one person: James L. Dolan, the
Madison Square Garden chairman.
在最近幾天,尼克經過審議,球隊不太可能保有林。
然而,同時告誡說,這個決定不是最後的,
最終會由一人決定:麥迪遜廣場花園主席詹姆斯‧杜蘭。

可是杜蘭.... 我們回不去了....
