這篇文章寫得真是好，一語道破所有熱火迷＋偉哥迷的心聲（Riley迷例外）還請高手來各清楚翻譯，火迷們就知道他寫的有多好。從幾個方向來看Riley為自己辯駁今夏沒動作的回覆。一是從Riley的10年大計來看，從薪資角度來說明就算簽了Bosh，熱火到了2011年起一堆小朋友要換約，到時候拿什麼去換？空氣？就算換到Bosh，也不一定代表空蕩蕩的熱火主場會高朋滿座，以精明生意人著稱的老闆，會忍受這樣不幅成本的投資？更何況挖了Bosh+Wade組合，把所有薪資空間用光，用兩個明星加一堆雜魚就能奪冠嗎？二是從Wade續約談起，叫Riley有自信點，如果給Wade一些有幫助的隊友，以Wade的個性他一定會誓死效忠熱火，就像今夏騎士跟暴龍所做的一樣三是從熱火球迷角度來看，如果今年熱火不順利，明年Wade一定會走人， Riley在熱火時期不管有多少豐功偉業，最被球迷稱讚的還是在03年帶來熱火這隻年輕球隊到目前為止最代表的人物D.Wade 如果Riley讓Wade走掉，會讓很多很死忠的熱火迷感到憤怒，畢竟這樣一隻年輕的球隊難得有一個隊史上最耀眼最具有代表性的巨星 (超過晨星跟timmy，畢竟Wade是熱火自己選自己養的superstar) Riley要是留不住Wade，那球迷以後只會記得Riley就是那個讓Wade走人的笨蛋GM 四是如果Wade走人，等2010年合約也到期的Riley會不會一起走？那熱火迷剩下什麼？理由是從2001年Zo含淚退休Riley宣布重建開始，熱火花了五年才重回奪冠球隊行列以Riley現在的年紀，他還願意再花五年去讓熱火重建？他還有耐心跟時間來等待讓熱火重建？會不會再重演一次從尼克跳槽事件？上面是我自己看完這篇文章的心得與感想（好像讀書報告唷）總之，我覺得這作者寫得深得我心呀，大概只有Riley迷才會有點不爽想要辯駁，但看到我的第四點，Riley迷悶心自問一下，如果Wade走後連Riley都會跑，那有啥好幫Riley辯護的？ ※ 引述《zenwu (橘子)》之銘言： : Dear Pat Riley, : I read about your latest comments on the outlook of your team earlier today. : You essentially said that there won't be any major moves in the future, and : that the only acquisitions that will be made before the start of training camp : will be small one-year deals. You said that you don't see yourself using the : mid-level exception. Additionally, you said that there have been no discussions : regarding a trade for Carlos Boozer. You said that the ultimate plan remains to : see internal growth from the team this season and then make a splash in free : agency next summer. : Fine, maybe you've learned your lesson from the 2007 off-season, when you : attempted to salvage the summer with the trade that brought Ricky Davis and : Mark Blount to Miami in exchange for Antoine Walker, Wayne Simien, Michael : Doleac and a 2009 first-round pick. A trip to the bottom of the standings : followed that trade, of course. And the trade still has its residue, with : Blount scheduled to make $8 million this season and Miami lacking a first-round : pick this summer. : While that trade was a monumental miscalculation, would the Heat really be much : better without it? Is it merely a coincidence that Walker, Simien and Doleac : are not in the NBA anymore? How much better would Miami have been with Walker : in place of Davis and Simien and Doleac in place of Blount? : It's understandable that you don't want to make changes just for the sake of : making changes, as you did in 2007. The painful truth is that what's already : here is inadequate, though. It's inadequate for Dwyane Wade and it's inadequate : for me, as a fan who doesn't want to see Wade carry the team on his shoulders : to lead the Heat to a mediocre record. : You are totally misled on the way you are approaching this off-season. You : should be operating with confidence that Wade will re-sign next summer. Why? : Because if you position your team to win a championship, your franchise player : will stay in Miami. He publicly committed to that. Look at what Danny Ferry is : doing for LeBron James in Cleveland. He's positioning his team to win a : championship so that it can retain James. Even Bryan Colangelo got Chris Bosh : someone who averaged 17 points, five rebounds and five assists last season in : Hedo Turkoglu. There's little doubt that Michael Beasley could offer similar : production when given the minutes, but Colangelo's counting on the contribution : of veterans like Turkogu and Jose Calderon to help Bosh, not on inexperienced : players like Beasley, Mario Chalmers and Daequan Cook. Hell, even Andrea : Bargnani averaged 15 points for the Raptors last season. Does Wade have that : type of offensive support? : Everyone knows what your master plan is: to sign Bosh next summer. There is a : big problem with this plan: it is very risky. Let's assume that Bosh will : bypass returning to Toronto or signing with any other team -- both of which are : completely plausible situations. So Miami locks up Wade and Bosh for the : duration of their primes. If they both make roughly $20 million, that's about : four-fifths of the possible $51 million salary cap next season. If the Heat : decides to keep James Jones, Michael Beasley, Daequan Cook and Mario Chalmers : -- all who have team options for the 2010-11 season -- that would put Miami at : the cap with just six players under contract. Heat owner Micky Arison has said : that he'll go into the luxury tax if it is for a contending team, but how deep : into the tax is he willing to go? Miami won't be positioning itself to be a big : spender in summer 2010 if it doesn't get big revenues during the upcoming : season. And I'm betting that, like last season, there will always be a sizable : number of empty seats at AmericanAirlines Arena. : Make no mistake, if the Heat doesn't get someone who can average at least 20 : points a game next summer, Wade will leave. Say what you want about how much : money the Heat has to spend in 2010 whether Wade stays or goes. Quite frankly, : it will be devastating for the team and the city of Miami to see No. 3 go. : Players like Flash don't come around every Draft, and anointing Beasley as the : franchise player would require quite a leap of faith. : I'd also like to address something that isn't brought up a lot. Your contract : with the Heat ends in 2010. Do you really have it in you to go through another : rebuilding project from scratch? During your tenure in Miami, the rebuilding : project started with Alonzo Mourning's announcement that he had a rare kidney : disease prior to the 2000-01 season. It ended with the championship in June : 2006. At your age, do you have it in yourself to go through five years of : hardships before winning it all? My guess is no. My guess is that if Wade : decides to leave Miami, you will too. : You're going to have to start thinking about the legacy you leave to the Heat. : You made the team relevant with the trades for Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway : . You shrewdly drafted Wade in 2003 when the pundits speculated that you would : draft Chris Kaman to fill in Mourning's void. You traded for Shaquille O'Neal : to bring the Heat from a playoff contender to a championship contender. And the : following season, you acquired Walker, Jason Williams and James Posey to move : Miami from a championship contender to a championship team. : But if you don't get Wade the help he deserves, he will leave. Do you really : want to be known as the person who drove away the Heat's unequivocal best : player in franchise history? If that's the case, that will be your legacy to : Miami. Forget about 'Zo and Tim. Drafting Wade will be washed from the memories : of Heat fans. Bringing in Shaq, Walker, Williams and Posey won't matter. All : that'll matter is that you let the one great player in franchise history slip : from Miami's collective fingers. : That's why I am pleading to you as a die-hard Heat fan to get the man some : help. Now. : ============================================================================== : 這篇文章是當地一位熱火的專欄作家寫的... : 他說出了大部份球迷的心聲哈哈 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.135.250.104 ※ 編輯: BlueSatan 來自: 220.135.250.104 (08/06 18:40) ※ 編輯: BlueSatan 來自: 220.135.250.104 (08/06 18:41)
