Lamar Odom chapter filled with new intrigue
By Jeff Caplan

We'll probably never know coach Rick Carlisle's true feelings about Lamar
Odom and the forward's indifferent attitude and disappointing performances
with the Dallas Mavericks.
Carlisle is a pragmatist. He doesn't obsess over what might have been.
"It’s a chapter that is one that will go down in Mavs history as just
something that didn’t work out," Carlisle told ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's
Galloway & Company earlier this week. "We all tried. We all wanted it to
work; Lamar wanted it to work. It was just rough. At times it felt like we
were gaining momentum, but we just couldn’t get there and in the end we had
to go on without him."
卡帥本週接受ESPN Dallas的訪問中被問到關於ODOM的事,卡帥表示:「我們都累了,我
們都希望ODOM能融入小牛,ODOM也很努力。這過程並不順利,我們一度認為可以成功,但
最後還是功敗垂成,最後我們只好讓他離開。」
One has to wonder how badly Odom really wanted it to work since only he could
control his attitude and effort. The Odom chapter is not yet closed because,
well, he's still a member of the team. The Mavs would love to slam the book
shut by trading Odom around the draft and getting rid of the $2.4 million
potential cap hit, the amount guaranteed on the final year of his deal that
in full is worth $8.2 million.
然而「ODOM人生」還沒有結束,他仍是小牛隊的一員。小牛希望的結局是把ODOM在選秀日
前交易掉,可省下2.4M的買斷費用,ODOM最後一年合約為8.2M, 球隊有買斷選擇權,其中
2.4M是保證給付。
The deadline to trade Odom and wipe his potential cap hit from the books is
June 29. Any team that has him on its roster by that date is responsible for
paying him his guaranteed money. Two well-documented trade partners include
Sacramento and Toronto, teams with substantial cap space to absorb Odom on
the payroll and waive him. The Mavs will throw in cash to cover the buyout
and maybe even throw in a second-round draft pick.
That strategy has seemed the most logical because, the thinking has gone, the
Mavs in no way will take back salary because it would burn their cap space
and squeeze their ability to offer Deron Williams a max contract in free
agency.
小牛最晚要在6月29號前把ODOM交易掉,因為只要這一天的名單裡有ODOM,之後就必須要
付出2.4M來買斷他。兩個可能的交易對手是國王和暴龍,這兩個球隊都有大量的薪資空間
可以吃下ODOM的合約,然後再買斷他的合約。小牛可能為此可能還要追加現金和一個二輪
選秀權。
小牛絕對有理由這樣做,因為小牛已不可能再將薪水討回來,而且ODOM的合約會吃掉小牛
的薪資空間,使得小牛無法提出頂薪來爭取Deron Williams。
Then, Carlisle on GAC offered just a scenario.
"One of the things about Odom’s contract is it is a contract that is going
to be very desirable because it is a large number with a small guarantee,
like (Jerry) Stackhouse’s and like (Erick) Dampier’s deal," Carlisle said.
"Those two contract situations turned into (Shawn) Marion and (Tyson)
Chandler. Those were two important building blocks to a championship."
卡帥表示:「ODOM的到期約仍然會有球隊想要,因為額度大,而保證給付的部分相對少。
就像是當年的Stackhouse和Dampier一樣。當年Stackhouse的合約換來了Marion, 而
Dampier的合約則換來了Chandler,他們都是重要的奪冠拼圖。」
Whether he meant to or not, Carlisle opened the door for speculation that the
Mavs could be open to dealing Odom for a player of relevance. It would
require packaging him with say, Shawn Marion ($8.6 million next season), for
a high-dollar player another team wants to get out from under the contract,
for example Pau Gasol in Los Angeles or Amare Stoudemirein New York.
The catch is that such a deal would make it difficult for the Mavs to then
carve out enough cap space to offer a max deal to Williams. That is unless
Dallas then moved the incoming player to another team in exchange for a
player whose salary matched Marion's, as ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's Jeff "Skin"
Wade explained on Wednesday's Ben & Skin Show.
Such a scenario would rid the Mavs of Odom's cap hit, bring in a player at
(most likely) a position of need and keep the Mavs in play to offer Williams
the moon.
Such a plan won't be easy to carry through, but it certainly was curious of
Carlisle to mention, unprompted, the possibility.
So let the speculation begin.
也就是說,小牛仍有可能會嘗試用ODOM,必要時可能會加上Marion,去交易其他隊想換出
去的高薪球員,像是湖人的Gasol、尼克的Stoudemire之類的。
但這樣做又會使小牛無法有足夠的薪資空間去簽下DW,除非小牛再拉一隊進來進行三方交
易,把上段提到的高薪球員送到第三隊,然後只要從第三隊換來一個跟Marion薪資對等的
球員。
這樣一來小牛可以不用負擔ODOM的買斷費用、換來一個小牛需要的球員,同時保有一定的
薪資空間去追逐DW。
這可不容易,但從卡帥的談話看來,可能性仍然存在。
所以,就讓我們拭目以待吧!
*********
心得:續約卡帥-->處理ODOM-->簽下先發PG DW, Nash, Dragic...-->JET合約
佛心續約或先簽後換-->處理其他球員合約(West、VC、Kidd)-->
選秀或交易選秀權-->…太多事情要做了,會是一個充實?的暑假
