[外絮] Nets could be open to dealing Deron Wi
籃網可能有意願拿Williams交易Lin，Asik
CF根據另一則交易流言的討論

It’s been almost six months since the Rockets reportedly approached the Nets
about a potential swap of disgruntled center Omer Asik and guard Jeremy Lin
for Brooklyn point guard Deron Williams.
據報導，距上次火箭隊接觸了籃網隊已經快半年了，他們討論有關於拿心生不滿的中鋒
Asik跟後衛Lin來交換布魯克林後衛Williams的潛在可能性。
Back then, the Nets were said to be uninterested. But in the aftermath of a
disappointing second-round loss in five games to Miami, things may have
changed.
當時籃網被傳不感興趣。但是，在令人失望跟熱火的第二輪比賽後，事情可能已經改變
了。
Brian Geltzeiler of HoopsCritic.com reports that Williams and the Nets have
a “pending divorce” and have mutually decided to look elsewhere.
在HoopsCritic.com的Brian報導出Williams和籃網準備離婚，並決定各自精采。[註:篇
末,會附補上另外這篇報導]
“Sources have told HoopsCritic.com that this falling out between Williams
and Nets management, specifically Nets GM Billy King, has resulted in a
mutual decision between the two parties to split,” Geltzeiler wrote.
“Williams, and his wife, essentially want out of Brooklyn and King is more
than happy to accommodate them.”
“消息人士告知Williams跟籃網管理階層鬧翻了，特別是籃網總經理Billy King，這導
致雙方之間的共同決定分手，Williams夫婦基本上是想離開布魯克林，而King已經非常
樂意滿足他們。”
Geltzeiler goes on in his story to list the Rockets as a possible
destination.
Geltzeiler列出一個可能的目的地--火箭隊。
“If Morey offers… the same package in the forthcoming offseason, I don’t
think King will say no,” Geltzeiler wrote.
“如果Morey...在即將到來的休賽期提出相同的包裹，我不認為King會說不”。
Williams isn’t likely to be on the front burner for the Rockets, who
continue to search for a third star player to put around James Harden and
Dwight Howard. The clear top priority would seem to be Carmelo Anthony, who
unlike Williams, had one of the best seasons of his career in 2013-14 and
still appears very much in his prime, statistically.
Williams已經不是火箭隊所要尋找的，來圍繞Harden跟Howard的第三個明星球員。明顯
的首要目標似乎是Anthony，不像Williams，2013-14年度有著最佳的一季的表現，統計
上顯示他似乎仍然在他的全盛期。
But the catch to the pursuit of Anthony or any other top free agent this
summer, including Kyle Lowry, is that the Rockets would likely have to find
a way to move both Asik and Lin, either through a sign-and-trade or to an
outside destination for cap relief. Asik probably wouldn’t be a problem to
move, but finding a home for Lin could be trickier, especially given his
balloon payment to $15 million next season in real dollars (though his cap
figure remains at $8.3 million).
但在今年夏天獲取到Anthony或任何其他頂級自由球員包括Lowry，火箭隊很可能不得不
找到方法來交易Asik跟Lin，無論是通過先簽後換或者是為工資帽減壓的這個的目地。
Asik可能不會是個問題，但要為Lin找到個家可能是棘手的，尤其是考慮到他下個賽季
的$15M薪資（雖然他的工資帽數字仍為$8.3M）。
If Morey is able to move Lin for cap relief, the Rockets would seemingly be
all-in on Anthony or another prized free agent. But that’s far from a done
deal and if such a move isn’t possible, the Rockets would appear to be left
with three realistic options.
如果Morey能夠將Lin交易掉來為工資帽減壓，火箭看起來是會對Anthony或其他珍貴的
自由球員梭哈。但是，這機會看來不大，如果這樣的交易若是不可能的的話，火箭隊似
乎是只剩下三個較切實際的選擇。
1.) Keep Lin on the roster and trade Asik, either for cap relief (allowing
Houston to target a middle-of-the-pack free agent, not a max guy) or for a
player under contract from another team. Sam Smith writes at NBA.com that
the Hawks could be interested in starting Asik at center and moving Al
Horford to power forward, a plan that could presumably make Atlanta’s
current starter at power forward, Paul Millsap, a trade target for Houston
(yet again).
1.）保留Lin交易Asik，無論是減輕工資帽（允許休士頓找到個中等的自由球員，而不
是一個有大約的傢伙），或者是一個從其它隊來的有約的球員。在NBA.com的Sam Smith
報導出老鷹準備把Al Horford移到大前鋒的位置，而對於讓中鋒Asik來先發感到有興趣
，這可能讓亞特蘭大目前的先發大前鋒，Paul Millsap成為休士頓交易目標。
2.) Keep both Lin and Asik on the roster going into next season. That would
allow Houston to either trade Lin/Asik as expiring contracts near the
February 2015 deadline to teams looking for cap relief, or simply let their
contracts expire as Rockets after the 2014-15 season and attempt to use the
savings in 2015 free agency. That class, of course, is headlined by Kevin
Love.
2.）下個賽季保留二者。這將允許休士頓，在2015二月交易截止日前，交易掉這兩個到
期約，讓球隊減輕工資帽壓力，或者乾脆在2014-15賽季結束後讓他們的合約到期，而
這能讓火箭隊2015年省下的錢用在自由球員市場。當然是由Kevin Love成為頭條新聞。
3.) Go after Williams.
The highest upside of those three paths would seem to be No. 2, but it
doesn’t come without risk. The Rockets cited injuries and a lack of
continuity as being behind many of their inconsistencies in 2013-14, and
delaying the arrival of the team’s next big piece would also defer the
integration period with Harden and Howard. It also goes without saying that
free agency offers no guarantees.
3.）追求Williams。
這三個途徑的最上策，似乎是第2條路，但它並非沒有風險。由於火箭隊傷病和缺乏持
續性造成2013-14年賽季的不穩定性，以及延緩了球隊下一個大拼圖的到來，會推遲了
Harden跟Howard的整合。更不用說，自由球員市場能提供任何保障。
Deron Williams had one of his worst statistical years in 2013-14.
Williams在2013-14年有記錄上最差的一年。
Williams, on the other hand, would be available this summer and ready for
2014 training camp — and Geltzeiler writes that the need to move Lin would
not be a stumbling block.
在另一方面，Williams將在今年夏天上架，並在2014年訓練營內準備就緒，而據他報
導，交易Lin的需要將不再是個絆腳石。
“Most teams would find [the balloon] payment objectionable,” he said. “The
Nets aren’t most teams. The Nets paid a record amount of luxury tax this
season, and there are no indications that their billionaire owner Mikhail
Prokhorov has any interest in spending less.”
“大多數球隊會覺得[膨風]薪資令人反感，”他說。“籃網不是那些大多的球隊。籃網在
本賽季支付創下紀錄的奢侈稅，而且沒有跡象顯示他們的億萬富翁老闆Mikhail
Prokhorov有任何興趣減少開支。“
It’s not a slam-dunk decision for the Rockets, of course. Williams will
soon be 30 years old, and the Nets are open to trading him for a reason.
After all, Williams is coming off a season in which he posted his lowest
PER (17.6) since his second year in the NBA and his fewest points (14.3)
and assists (6.1) per game since his rookie year.
對於火箭來說這不是大獲全勝的決定，當然。Williams很快將30歲了，之於某個原因
籃網願開放交易他。畢竟Williams才剛在這賽季中表現出自從他加入NBA第二年以來
最低的PER（ 17.6 ），和自新秀年以來的場均最低分（14.3）和助攻（6.1）。
Additionally, Williams is owed $62 million over the next three years, which
means that the Rockets would essentially be “capped out” for the remainder
of Harden and Howard’s current contracts. They’d still have mid-level
exceptions (MLE) each summer, but by and large, it would be an all-in move
by Morey with the Harden/Howard/Williams trio.
此外，在未來三年內還欠著Williams$62M美元，這意味著加上Harden跟Howard現行合
約的剩餘部分，火箭基本上薪資到頂了。每年夏天他們仍然有中產例外（ MLE ），但
總的來說，這將是Morey押在Harden/Howard/Williams三巨頭的一個梭哈的舉動。
The upside, though? It’s not as if Williams’ subpar season is part of a
broader trend. In fact, his metrics in 2012-13 — just one year ago — were
arguably his best ever in nine NBA seasons, especially on offense. And a
case can certainly be made that injuries (Williams is planning offseason
ankle surgery to clean up nagging issues) and the integration of newcomers
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett into the Brooklyn offense played a role in his
2013-14 decline.
那好處是？這並不是因為Williams欠佳的球季是一個未來的趨勢。事實上，他在2012-
13的衡量標準 - 就在一年前 - 幾乎可以說是他在九個NBA賽季中有史以來最好的一季
，尤其是在進攻上。並可以作出傷病（Williams計劃休賽期的腳踝手術，清理煩人的問
題）和與Paul Pierce跟Kevin Garnett這些新人加入布魯克林進攻的整合，對他2013-
14年衰退有舉出一定的關聯。
We know the Rockets have long been fans of the ex-Illinois point guard,
including in 2011, when Houston made a strong bid for Williams before the
Jazz ultimately dealt him to Brooklyn. The Rockets were also said to be
interested in Williams again heading into his 2012 free agency.
我們知道火箭隊長期以來一直是這個前伊利諾控衛的粉絲，包括在2011年，在最終爵士
把Williams賣給布魯克林之前，火箭在Williams上大舉的加碼 。火箭隊也被傳說對將
在2012年再次變成自由球員的Williams有興趣。
We also know Howard has liked Williams, dating back to his ”lists” when
demanding a trade from Orlando in 2011 and 2012. Both times, Brooklyn — led
by Williams — was at the top. And instead of spending another one of
Howard’s dwindling prime years waiting on a trade or free agent that could
be, a move for Williams would make the Rockets fully focused on the
present and what is.
在2011年和2012年，當Howard要求從奧蘭多交易時，可以追溯到他的“清單”上，我們知
道Howard一直是喜歡Williams，這兩次，布魯克林 - 由Williams在上面著領軍。與其
再次浪費Howard所漸漸流失的青春歲月來等待一個交易或成為自由球員，不如來一個對
Williams的交易，而這將使火箭隊能完全專注於目前他們所擁有的。
For his part, Williams is even a Texas native, having grown up in suburban
Dallas, and would likely jump at the chance to play closer to home.
對他而言，Williams更是一個德州本地人，在郊區的達拉斯長大，並可能抓住機會找離
家較近的地方打球。
None of those factors is enough to vault Williams ahead of Anthony or
immediate cap space as the Rockets’ offseason priority, of course. But any
bigger pursuit also comes with a difficult question:
當然這些因素不足以讓Williams高過於Anthony或是火箭隊休賽期所需要的薪金空間的
這個優先。但是，任何大魚的追求同樣都遭遇了一個棘手的問題：
Can Morey move Lin for cap relief?
Morey交易Lin可以讓工資帽解壓？
If the answer is no, the Williams scenario could very well be revisited as a
fallback option.
如果答案是否定的，Williams很可能再次作為一個退而求其次的選擇。

The Deron/Brooklyn Pending Divorce The Deron/Brooklyn Pending Divorce
http://0rz.tw/P2OVR
Posted by Brian Geltzeiler at 5/16/2014 12:36 PM
One interesting spot to keep an eye on as a possible destination for
Williams is the Houston Rockets. There were some unconfirmed reports that
Rocket GM Daryl Morey had approached King at last year’s trade deadline
about a deal for Williams offering Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik. King reportedly
turned him down flat. Morey was quoted as saying after the Rockets 1st round
loss to Portland that he would certainly pursue an All Star to join Dwight
Howard and James Harden. Williams isn’t necessarily an All Star anymore,
but he’s not necessarily a hopeless case either. If Morey offers him the
same package in the forthcoming offseason, I don’t think King will say no.
Lin ad Asik are both difficult players to deal because even though they each
count against the salary cap at a reasonable $8 million per year figure,
they’re each actually pocketing approximately $15 million in balloon
payments as a result if the poison pill contracts Morey signed them both to.
The acquiring team would be obligated to pay the balloon payment. Most
teams would find one of those payments objectionable let alone two. The
Nets aren’t most teams.
Williams未來可能的的動向可能是休士頓火箭隊。有一些未經證實的報導指稱，火箭隊
總經理Morey曾向King在去年的交易截止日前提出了用Lin跟Asik來交換Williams。據報
導，King一口回絕。
據引述，Morey在火箭隊第一輪輸給波特蘭後說，他一定會追求一個明星球員來加入
Howard跟Harden。
Williams不一定再是個明星球員了，但他也不一定是一個沒未來的情況。如果在即將到
來的休賽期，Morey向King提供相同的包裹，我不認為King會說不。
Lin跟Asik都是很難交易的球員，因為即使他們每個人計算在工資帽上只有合理的$8M美
元一年，他們兩個都會有$15M美元入袋，由於Morey以毒藥合約簽下他們兩個。
收購的團隊將有義務支付膨脹的款項。大多數球隊會覺得這些款項令人反感，更別說一
次是兩個。但籃網並不是大多數的球隊。
The Nets paid a record amount of luxury tax this season and there are no
indications that their billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov has any interest
in spending less. As long as Prokhorov doesn’t mind paying the balloon
payments, bringing in Lin and Asik accomplishes two important objectives for
Brooklyn. It allows them to stay competitive next year, with Lin (and Shaun
Livingston) replacing Williams and Asik replacing Garnett, whether Garnett
reires or accepts a reserve role. Plus, Asik and Lin both have expiring
contracts which gets King out from under this Williams albatross and allows
him to be a player in free agency as early as the summer of 2015. It would
be a no brainer deal for King as long as he has the support of his owner’s
more than ample checkbook.
籃網本賽季支付創紀錄的奢侈稅的金額，也沒有跡象顯示著他們的億萬富翁老闆Mikhail
Prokhorov有想要減少開支的念頭。
只要Prokhorov不介意付出大帳單，引進Lin和Asik成布魯克林的兩個重要目標。這使他
們明年能保持競爭力，由Lin（和Shaun Livingston）取代Williams，Asik替換Garnett
，Garnett是否退休或接受替補的角色。
加上，Asik跟Lin兩人到期約，這能讓King從Williams這個信天翁下面逃過，允許他及早
在2015年的夏天成為一個在自由球員市場的玩家。
對於King來說，這將是一個不需要腦筋的交易，只要他有他的老闆的支持高過綽綽有餘
的支票簿。
