Knicks waive Kurt Thomas NEW YORK -- The Knicks have waived veteran forward Kurt Thomas to clear a roster spot for free-agent big man Solomon Jones, the team announced on Friday. The Knicks signed Jones shortly before Friday night's game against Cleveland. Jones is eligible to suit up for the Knicks against the Cavs and will take Thomas' roster spot. 尼克昨天宣布裁掉老湯，轉而簽下新同學－Solomon Jone。所以新同學今天有資格上場了。(他也上場了) Due to a recent rash of injuries to the Knicks' front line, the team decided to release Thomas to create room for a healthy big man. The 40-year-old Thomas suffered an acute stress reaction in his right foot in mid-March and had been inactive for the past 12 games. "We thank Kurt for all that he has done," Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald said in a statement released by the team. "I have the utmost respect for Kurt as a player and as a man." 由於這段時間傷病潮太嚴重，尼克決定釋出老湯來增加一名健康的大個子。這位40歲的老將在三月中旬時腳有骨折，缺席了最近的12場比賽。 GG:"我們真的很感謝老湯為我們做得一切，我對於老湯身為一個球員一個男人獻上我最高的尊敬。" Thomas provided a huge lift for the Knicks in his last game of the season. Playing with a major injury in his right foot, Thomas scored six points and grabbed three rebounds in New York's win in Utah. The victory on March 18 snapped a four-game losing streak and was the first of 13 straight wins for the Knicks. Many players credited Thomas' performance against the Jazz as a key to their winning streak. "Kurt's contributions to the Knicks have been immeasurable," Grunwald said. "From the first day of training camp, to his last game against the Utah Jazz, Kurt has been a key contributor to our team. "The team's success this season has been driven by veteran leadership on and off the court -- it is something that cannot be quantified or read in a box score." 老湯最近在尼克證明了它可以做到甚麼，我們會記得老湯在3/18對上爵士，即使腳已經受傷了，仍舊力抗爵士的肉柱內線，當場他抓下了3個籃板，拿了6分。這場勝利是尼克13連勝的第一場勝利。大多數的球員都稱老湯在爵士那場的表現堪稱完美，並且說爵士那場是他們連勝的關鍵。 GG:"老湯對我們的貢獻是無可計量的，從他第一天到訓練營，到他最後一場血戰爵士，老湯一直都是球隊中的關鍵人物。" "球隊可以成功地取得大西洋區龍頭都跟這些老將在場下的領導有關阿，這就是我們在BOX上看不到的，也沒辦法分析的。" An MRI of Thomas' foot taken the day after the Utah game revealed an acute stress reaction. The team had hoped that Thomas could return sometime during the postseason. But with Tyson Chandler (neck), Kenyon Martin (ankle) and Marcus Camby (foot) sidelined by injury, the team could not afford to wait for Thomas. The Knicks had agreed in principle to a deal with free-agent forward James Singleton on Wednesday. Singleton was in Chicago on Thursday preparing to join the Knicks, but the deal fell through because of a procedural issue with Singleton's team in the Chinese Basketball Association, according to a league source. Singleton could not gain clearance through the FIBA to leave the Chinese Basketball Association and join the Knicks. There is a chance that the Knicks could still agree to terms with Singleton, but nothing is imminent. 老湯的腳在經過MRI後，確定有個壓力性反應，尼克原先希望老湯可以在某個時候回來，但是之後的傷痛潮(老錢－脖子，K罵－腳踝，CAMBY－足底筋膜炎)，讓尼克沒辦法再等了。尼克原先想簽下James Singleton，但因為他在CBA的合約問題，尼克沒辦法快速地簽下他。尼克當然還有機會可以牽，但這也代表他們得要再裁一個人，目前來看是沒這個必要。 So the Knicks turned their attention to Jones on Friday. Jones most recently played in the Chinese Basketball Association with Liaoning. The 6-foot-10 Jones played in the NBA in 2011-12 with the New Orleans Hornets and Los Angeles Clippers. Jones will be eligible for the Knicks' postseason roster. Thomas' future is unclear. The 18-year veteran recently expressed interest in playing next season. He played seven seasons with the Knicks between 1998 and 2005. Thomas was a key contributor to the Knicks teams that reached back-to-back Eastern Conference finals in 1999 and 2000. He currently ranks ninth on the franchise's all-time rebounding list with 4,272 caroms and 15th in games played with 569 appearances. 所以尼克選擇SJ。新同學的介紹略過老湯之後的去向還不確定，但老湯之前曾表示他還想繼續打老湯以前在尼克曾打到總冠軍賽，也曾帶領尼克B2B抵達東區冠軍。 http://ppt.cc/olrC 感謝老湯Q.Q 來制服組吧... -- ─∥ ─── ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ψsherry821224 ────────────── ∥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ∥ ◤ ◢◤\ ◣◥ Teammates don't ∥ ╱ ∥◤￣◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥ ╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼▼ play with each ∥◆◇ ∥ ∥∥◣∥ ∥╱ ∥◣＿ ─-.╳ ︶- other, they play ∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥ ╲ ◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲▲ FOR each other. ─∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣＿╱∥ ╲╲＿◢∥ ◥ | ◢────────…‥． -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 180.218.213.115
