原文出處： http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2556933 -- The Indiana Pacers, after a seemingly interminable wait, appear to be closing in on a deal that formally secures the return of swingman Al Harrington. 印地安那溜馬在經歷了漫長的等待後，哈寶寶鳳還巢的交易案似乎已經是指日可待。 Arn Tellem, Harrington's new agent, told ESPN.com on Monday night that the Pacers are "very close" to finalizing a sign-and-trade arrangement with the Atlanta Hawks that's been weeks in the making. 哈寶寶新聘的經紀人A.Tellem星期一晚上向ESPN達康表示溜馬和亞特蘭大老鷹間持續數個星期之久的先簽後換交易案已經相當接近最後定案的階段。 Harrington, according to NBA front-office sources, is expected to sign a four-year contract worth $35.3 million with the Hawks, who will then deal him to Indiana. It's believed that the Pacers will complete the swap without making a cash payment to the Hawks, who originally sought the maximum $3 million that teams can add to trades. 根據NBA高層消息指出，哈寶寶被認為將與老鷹簽下一份為期四年，總值3,530萬美元的合約，被被交易回印地安那。普遍認為溜馬應該能順利與老鷹完成交易，而不需支付老鷹一開始所要求最多達300萬美元的現金。 Atlanta would receive a future first-round pick in exchange for Harrington. It was not immediately known if Indiana will also acquire third-year center John Edwards, whose departure would remove an extra $1.1 million from the Hawks' payroll. 亞特蘭大將會自印地安那獲得一個未來的第一輪選秀權作為交換哈寶寶的條件，但目前沒辦法立即得知溜馬是否還會要求老鷹要把如果離隊將能使球隊增加110萬美元的薪資空間的三年級生中鋒J.Edwards一併奉上。 The most Harrington could have received from the Pacers is a six-year contract worth $57 million. But the fourth season of Harrington's new contract, sources say, will be at his option, meaning that the 26-year-old will have the opportunity to return to the free-agent market in the summer of 2009 if he chooses. 哈寶寶最多可自溜馬得到一份為期六年，總值5,700的合約，但根據消息來源指出，在哈寶寶新合約的第四個球季，他將握有是否要續留球隊的球員選擇權，那意味著如果這名現年26歲的前鋒願意，他在'09年暑假就可以跳脫合約回到自由球員市場待價而沽。 On the Pacers' team Web site, club CEO Donnie Walsh was quoted Monday as saying that the framework for the trade is in place, with the final details of Harrington's contract still "in negotiation." 球隊執行長D.Walsh星期一所說的話被節錄在溜馬官方網站上面，他說這筆交易的架構很恰當，只差最後哈寶寶新合約的細節部份仍在磋商階段。 "I think we're coming down to it," Walsh said, "and we'll either get it or we won't." Walsh說"我認為我們已經快要達成共識了，而我們有可能真的和老鷹交易，但也可能不這麼做。" Harrington's return to the team that drafted him 25th overall in 1998 was considered inevitable in front offices leaguewide for much of July, prompting interested teams to gradually drop out of the bidding. As negotiations dragged on, Harrington severed ties with agent Andy Miller and hired the high-powered Tellem to re-start the process. Yet reports over the weekend that the Pacers had squandered their chance to re-acquire Harrington proved unfounded because of Indiana's $7.5 million trade exception. 七月絕大部分的時間聯盟中所有球隊高層都認為哈寶寶回歸'98年選秀會上以第一輪第 25順位將其挑選入隊的老東家溜馬幾乎是必然的事，那也導致大部分對於哈寶寶有興趣的球隊漸漸退出了競標的行列。在協商停滯不前的情況下，哈寶寶憤而將原經紀人A.Miller 解雇，另外聘請了作風強勢的Tellem重新開始協商過程。週末的報導指出溜馬即將錯過了重新獲得哈寶寶的機會，但被證明只是空穴來風，因為印地安那手中握有750萬美元的特別交易條款(TE)。 That exception -- created in July when Indiana convinced the New Orleans Hornets to participate in a sign-and-trade for Peja Stojakovic instead of simply signing Stojakovic away outright -- has established the Pacers as the only Harrington suitor that could complete a sign-and-trade without forcing Atlanta to take back significant salary. Other interested teams include Golden State, Denver, New York and the Los Angeles Lakers. 該交易特別條款是溜馬在七月時說服紐澳良黃蜂同意Peja的先簽後換交易案時所獲得，那除了讓溜馬避免當時Peja直接與黃蜂簽約而血本無歸的窘境，也讓他們成為唯一一個能與老鷹完成的哈寶寶交易案，但卻可以不必迫使老鷹接收另一份巨額合約的球隊。其他對哈寶寶有興趣的球隊還包括金州勇士、丹佛金塊、紐約尼克以及洛杉磯湖人。 NBA front-office sources say that Atlanta's teetering ownership group, in the midst of a legal battle with former partner Steve Belkin to keep control of the franchise, has insisted from the start on taking back draft picks and/or cash as opposed to a player or two from Indiana's roster (such as center Jeff Foster ) or a more expensive veteran. The Warriors, for example, offered power forward Troy Murphy to the Hawks last month as part of a sign-and-trade that would have netted Harrington something closer to the six-year, $66 million contract he was originally seeking. But Murphy, who averaged a double-double in his past three full seasons, has nearly $51 million left on his contract over the next five years. 根據NBA高層消息指出老鷹顢頇且正深陷與前合夥人S.Belkin間法律風暴的經營團隊，一開始就已經表明球隊希望以哈寶寶為交易條件從溜馬的球員名單中換回一到兩名球員(例如中鋒佛爺)或一個比較有價值的老將，而次要的選項才是選秀權或現金。以勇士為例，他們上個月提出大前鋒T.Murphy為先簽後換的交易條件，而哈寶寶也將可以獲得他原本尋求的，為期六年，總值6,600萬美元的合約。但過去三個完整球季單場平均得分和籃板都達到雙位數以上的Murphy的合約，還剩下五年，將近5,100萬美元。 The Hawks eventually backed off their cash demands and told the Pacers they'd make the trade so long as Indiana sent them a first-round pick and agreed to absorb Edwards' salary. Atlanta's reluctance to deal with the other teams chasing Harrington maintained Indiana's position as the favorite to land the versatile forward, with the Pacers now hoping that the increasingly fast pace in today's NBA will permit Harrington -- at 6-foot-9 and 245 pounds -- to play plenty of power forward in an athletic frontcourt setup alongside Jermaine O'Neal and Danny Granger. 老鷹最終還是放棄了要溜馬支付現金的要求，並告知他們說只要他們送出一個未來的第一輪選秀權並且願意吸收Edwards的合約，那這筆交易就成交。由於老鷹不願與其他角逐哈寶寶的球隊交易，使得溜馬仍是最有希望獲得這名多才多藝的前鋒的球隊。在現今比賽節奏持續增快的NBA當中，溜馬希望能讓6呎9吋高，245磅重的哈寶寶和由小歐及D.Granger 所構成活動力十足的前場一同分攤大前鋒的工作。 Acquiring Harrington is doubly crucial because he'd ease the burden on Granger when it comes to replacing Ron Artest. The Pacers' $7.5 million trade exception thus looms as one of the most valuable assets of the NBA offseason. 能否獲得哈寶寶對溜馬來說至關重要，因為他的加入能有效減輕Granger必須扛下阿泰離隊後小前鋒重任所造成的沉重壓力，溜馬750萬美元的交易特別條款也將因此成為今年夏天最具影響力的重要資產之一。 When Stojakovic gave the Hornets a verbal commitment to sign with them mere hours into free agency on July 1, Indiana faced the very real threat of having nothing to show for January's trade of Artest to Sacramento. But a payment to the Hornets believed to be in the $250,000 range -- coupled with the Hornets' knowledge that they'd likely be keeping Harrington away from a fellow West playoff hopeful like Golden State or the Lakers -- turned the Stojakovic deal from an outright free-agent signing into a sign-and-trade, thereby creating the trade exception that set up Harrington's return. 七月一日自由球員市場啟動不過數個小時時間內，Peja就已經口頭允諾黃蜂，將和他們簽約，溜馬面對了相當嚴重的威脅，因為他們在一月份好不容易策動以阿泰向沙加緬度國王盤來Peja的交易可能會變成一場空。據信，溜馬雙手奉上最多約25萬美元以內的現金 -- 而且黃蜂慮及這麼做或可避免同樣身處西區，一起競爭季後賽門票的隊伍如勇士或湖人能爭取到哈寶寶的加盟 -- 所以同意與溜馬進行先簽後換的交易而非直接與Peja簽約，溜馬則因此獲得了能讓哈寶寶鳳歸巢的750萬美元交易特別條款。 It's believed that the Pacers did also explore the idea of making a sign-and-trade run at Indiana native Bonzi Wells earlier this summer, but Harrington was always their first choice. Wells, looking for a new team after Sacramento signed John Salmons in late July, would supplant Harrington as the best player left on the NBA's open market once Harrington-to-Indiana is consummated. 普遍認為溜馬在暑假開始沒多久也曾考慮策動印地安那土生土長的B.Wells的先簽後換交易案，但哈寶寶仍是他們的首選。一定哈寶寶回歸印地安那的戲碼落幕，七月底國王簽下J.Salmons後積極尋找新東家的Wells將取代他成為自由球員市場最大的一條魚。 "Obviously, Indiana, I'm more comfortable there because I've been there, I've been in the East," Harrington told ESPN.com during last month's Vegas Summer League, making it clear then that he expected to wind up with either the Pacers or the Warriors. 哈寶寶在上個月拉斯維加斯夏季聯盟期間向ESPN達康表示"很明顯地我還是比較喜歡印地安那，因為我曾待過這裡，我曾隸屬於東區聯盟，所以我在這裡會覺得比較自在。"，這讓大家很清楚地知道溜馬和勇士之間，他希望能加盟哪支球隊。 "Going into free agency, obviously you think, 'I'm going to be at the bottom of the screen [on ESPN's Bottom Line ticker] like Ben Wallace and the rest of the guys.' But everyone's telling me to be patient, so that's what I'm trying to do ." "投身自由球員市場，很明顯地你會這麼想'我一定要登上新聞頭條[成為ESPN的新聞頭條]，就像大班或其他人那樣。'但每個人都告訴我要低調一些，所以我一直嘗試不要太過招搖。" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.241.111.125
