Mayo, Elton Brand, Chris Kaman, Darren Collison, Rodrigue Beaubois, Mike James, Anthony Morrow, Jared Cunningham, Josh Akognon 離隊: Mayo, Brand, Kaman, Collison, Beaubois, Mike James, Morrow, Cunningham, Akognono Other Moves: Re-signed Brandan Wright, re-signed Bernard James 其餘動作: 重簽Wright, B. James What Went Right: The overhaul of Dallas’ inconsistent, overmatched backcourt. Last season, the underwhelming point-guard trio of Collison, James or Derek Fisher started alongside Mayo, with flimsy results. The new look features presumed starters Calderon (who signed a four-year, $29 million deal) and Ellis (three years, $25 million); two backups who were signed to minimum deals (Harris and the 25-year-old Mekel, a two-time MVP in the Israeli League who played at Wichita State); two rookies (Larkin, who is recovering from last month’s ankle surgery, and Ledo); and a veteran shooter (Ellington, at two years and $5.4 million). Vince Carter, 36, is the only guard remaining from last season’s roster. What Went Right: 後衛群從不穩定的Collison, Fisher, M.James, Mayo 升級為 Ellis & Calderon 用底薪簽下Harris以及Mekel, Ellington作為替補 36歲的Carter成為唯一在後場留下的成員 The makeover should benefit Dirk Nowitzki, whose offensive operations should come a bit more easily. The Mavericks again have players capable of getting him the ball in the right spots — which in itself is a relief after the shaky work of Dallas’ guards last season — and headier passers and more dynamic scorers who can create offense and draw defensive attention. 後場換血應有利於Dirk Nowitzki在進攻端表現小牛後場比起上季應更能在正確時刻及位置餵球給他且得分能力更好更有吸引防守端注意的能力 Beyond that, Dallas did a fantastic job of maneuvering under the salary cap to build out its roster. Ellis and Calderon were both big-money additions, but their contracts were clipped just enough to allow for the signing of a likely starting center in Dalembert (two years, $7.6 million). Harris and Mekel represent tremendous short- and long-term value, respectively. Ellington was signed using the room mid-level exception rather than outright cap space. And by waiting to sign Wright last, the Mavs preserved an additional $4.1 million in cap space* that allowed for the completion of other transactions. *Until Wright was signed, his only impact on the Mavs’ finances was a cap hold — essentially a placeholder — worth $884,293. By reaching out to Wright early and then circling back to formally sign him after the other major moves were in place, Dallas was able to give Wright a two-year deal that will pay him $5 million a season without taking away the flexibility to make other signings. 以上主要是讚賞小牛的操作巧妙的控制薪資使其發揮最大的功效 What Went Wrong: The courtship of Dwight Howard and the defensive misery of the Mavs’ backup plan. After adding only short-term deals for two straight seasons, this summer was intended to be Dallas’ big chance to lure a max free agent to help stabilize the franchise. With Nowitzki, 35, aging into the twilight of his career, the need for another superstar is obvious. Nowitzki’ s brilliant offensive game won’t hold up forever, making it all the more important to pull another elite player into the fold now to smooth the transition from one era of Mavericks basketball to the next. Howard was as good a candidate as any, and Dallas was one of five teams he considered. But the Mavs had too little on the roster beyond Nowitzki (a necessity in carving out max-level cap space) to pique Howard’s interest. What Went Wrong: 隨著Nowitzki已經35歲小牛急需找到一名接下球隊招牌的球星 Howard是個適合的人選小牛近年的操作都是為了能在自由市場競價頂薪球員但小牛的roster除了Dirk沒有其他吸引球星加盟的要素而小牛的球星引援計畫也失敗兩年了 With the superstar option off the table, Dallas shifted gears to evaluate a variety of contingencies — a permutation of which formed the current roster. Calderon, a longtime Dallas target, was signed to help the offense run smoothly, while Ellis was added to complement Nowitzki as a scoring threat. But in those two players specifically, the Mavs committed $54 million over three-plus seasons without the slightest hope of defensive solvency. Calderon 和 Ellis是不錯的B計畫但小牛接下來三個球季要花54M在幾乎沒有防守的後衛線上 Forward Shawn Marion can help a bit by sliding over to guard the top perimeter threat in most situations. But Calderon is easily beatable off the dribble and Ellis is a generally hapless defender — the combination of which could be disastrous with Nowitzki, Dalembert and Wright composing a lackluster crew of back-line defenders. As good as the Mavs could be on offense (and even that is far from guaranteed, given all the new pieces in play and Ellis’ inefficiency), they have the potential to be almost equally horrid on defense. Marion是在外圍防守的頭號大將但是Calderon和Ellis的防守能力再加上Dirk, Wright, Dalembert.... 這會產生一死氣沉沉的防守陣線即使小牛有可能因為磨合成功以及Ellis提升效率會有不錯的進攻表現但是它們的防守很可能會拖累進攻端 Grade: C+. Dallas didn’t do terribly considering the circumstances, but missing on Howard hurts and signing both Ellis and Calderon to long-term deals could come back to bite a team that was otherwise banking on financial flexibility. 評比: C+ 事實上考慮到小牛能簽下的人選小牛其實操作地不差但是沒引進Howard後給Caldron和Ellis長約將可能使小牛在未來失去近年亟欲保持的薪資彈性 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.113.89.5 ※ 編輯: nagisanoff 來自: 140.113.89.5 (08/20 00:45)
