此系列為Jeff Caplan於ESPN Dallas網站中所發表的文章討論到今年各球員的表現以及可能的動向排名的順序是小牛下季將這位球員留在陣中的必要程度 Countdown: No. 15 Lamar Odom The offseason certainly arrived much sooner than anyone could have predicted, just like Lamar Odom's premature exit from the Dallas Mavericks. 小牛的暑假比大家預期的早開始，而Odom的不成熟也讓他意外的提早離開達拉斯。 The 6-foot-10 forward kicks off our offseason blog series that ranks the 2011-12 Mavericks roster in order of importance for the front office to bring back. Four of last season's six free agents found new homes with the exception of Peja Stojakovic, who called it a career after winning his first championship, and Brian Cardinal, who re-signed but made virtually no impact on the season. 這位6呎10吋的前鋒在高層最不需要考慮留下的球員名單中排在第一位。去年小牛放走了四位自由球員，只留下兩個，另外還有奪冠之後急流勇退的Peja Stojakovic。小牛留下的其中一人是 Brian Cardinal，但幾乎沒在這賽季做出貢獻。 Eleven months ago, the title team proved difficult to rank in importance and I started the Countdown with DeShawn Stevenson as the least important. It drew quite a few raised eyebrows from those wondering how I could possibly consider the defensive bulldog and surprisingly valuable 3-point shooter the least important member of the title team to bring back. 11個月以前，我知道要評斷衛冕冠軍的哪位球員最不需要留下是很困難的，我決定把DeShawn Stevenson放在第一位，很多人質疑我為什麼我想放走這位防守大鎖，同時偶爾能砍進三分冷箭的球員，認為他最不需要回到衛冕陣容中。 In retrospect, the choice probably violated the spirit of this series. I chose Stevenson not because I didn't think he was an asset and worthy of returning for a chance to repeat, but because the Mavs traded for shooting guard Rudy Fernandez, a move that, to me, signaled that Stevenson wouldn't be back. Who would have figured that neither Stevenson nor Fernandez would start the season with the Mavs? 我當時的選擇也許違背了當時這系列文章的宗旨，我會選他不是因為他不值得留下，是因為小牛剛剛交易來得分後衛Rudy Fernandez，這個動作對我來說就代表了Stevenson將不會留在隊上。誰曉得最後小牛的開季陣容中不僅找不到Stevenson，連Fernandez都不見了。 This time around the lead-off man in these rankings is a no-brainer. Odom's career-worst season has to go down as the most disappointing season in the league and one of the more frustrating ones for a franchise in recent memory. 不過今年這系列的第一名連想都不用想，Odom生涯最差的一季讓人相當失望，也是小牛歷史上最讓人沮喪的其中一位。 With that, on with the series: LAMAR ODOM Pos: SF/PF Ht/Wt: 6-10, 230 Experience: 13 years Age: 32 (Nov. 6, 1979) 2011-12 stats: 6.6 ppg (35.2 FG%), 4.2 rpg Contract status: Signed through 2012-2013 2011-12 salary: $8.9 million 2012-13 salary: $8.2 million ($2.4 million guaranteed) His story: There's a certain reality TV show on a certain entertainment channel starring a certain Kardashian sister and her basketball-playing husband that can provide the background of what went wrong in Odom's four short months with the Mavs. What didn't go wrong? Dallas thought it was getting a versatile forward who would help ease the pain of losing Tyson Chandler by supplying his unique skills that had helped the Lakers win back-to-back titles. Owner Mark Cuban says he'd make the trade all over again that brought the emotionally bogged-down Odom to Dallas for a draft pick and a trade exception. And hey, when the stunning trade went down Dec. 11, most thought the Mavs had just pulled off a coup and wondered why in the world the Lakers would seemingly just hand over last season's Sixth Man of the Year to the team that swept them out of the playoffs. Now we know. Odom與妻子Kardashian所參加的實境秀或許提供了為什麼一切的發展都讓人搖頭的線索，在Odom短短四個月的小牛生涯中，到底哪裡發生了問題？小牛本來以為交易來這位全能的前鋒可以幫助他們減低失去Tyson Chandler所帶來的影響，並藉助他幫助湖人拿下二連霸的經驗。Cuban說如果時間倒流，他還是會選擇用一個選秀權換來Odom與交易特例。而且當這個讓人驚訝的交易發生時，大家都認為小牛大賺一筆，並質疑湖人怎麼會拱手送出去年的最佳第六人，還送給橫掃他們的小牛，現在我們知道了。 His outlook: Odom is actually under consideration for a spot on Team USA for the London Games because of the rash of injuries that have taken out star players like Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard. Cuban actually said he'd love to see it, but only because he has such disdain for Olympic basketball, so he figures the two were meant to be together. Where Odom lands next season will be a far more intriguing story to follow. For starters, Dallas will try everything it can to dump him off on a team with loads of salary cap space such as Toronto or Sacramento and throw in $3 million to offset the $2.4 million guaranteed on Odom's deal next season. If the Mavs can't dump him in a trade, they'll waive him and be responsible for the $2.4 million, which will eat into their cap space this summer. Such a result will not please Cuban. No matter what, Odom will be long gone from this organization. A return to the Lakers is not likely since they can't add him to the roster for a full year after the date he was traded, Dec. 11. Could he land with the Miami Heat, one of his former teams that obviously will be a contender for years to come? Well, if he wants to sign for a fraction of his actual 2012-13 salary, then it's possible. Of course, no team might risk much more than a couple million anyway. How about the team with which he started his career, the Los Angeles Clippers? Possible. Caron Butler is signed for two more years at small forward, but Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans are free agents. 事實上因為美國夢幻隊的傷兵累累，包括Derrick Rose與Dwight Howard都受傷了，Odom被列入倫敦奧運的觀察名單中。Cuban說他很樂意看Odom去打奧運，因為他根本看不起奧運的籃球比賽，所以他覺得Odom配奧運很適合。Odom明年會到哪隊將會是很有趣的戲碼，最初小牛會試著盡快把他脫手，來避免明年2.4M的保障合約，可能的對象是暴龍或是國王。如果小牛沒法把他交易掉，他們就得把他裁掉並且要負責明年Odom 2.4M的薪水，這會佔掉明年一部份的薪資總額，Cuban不樂見這種事發生。但無論如何他明年都不會留隊，Odom重回湖人也不太可能發生，因為湖人要在今年 12月11日之後(交易滿一年)重新簽回他。他也可能重回曾經待過的熱火，不過他明年的薪資將會大幅縮水。當然沒有球隊會願意冒險花大筆銀子簽他，而他職業生涯的起點快艇也有機會，儘管 Caron Butler還有兩年約，但是Kenyon Martin與Reggie Evans都是自由球員。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.174.39 ※ 編輯: DM24Tim 來自: 111.248.174.39 (05/21 10:36)
