6. Indiana Pacers (36-30)
On most levels, few teams are set up for the future better than the Pacers.
They have a lot of young talent, $15 million in cap space and nary a bad
contract, and they even scored a rare small-market free-agent coup by luring
David West from New Orleans.
從很多層面看來，很少球隊建設了比Pacers更好的未來。他們有很多的年輕肉體，15M的
薪資空間，甚至沒有一個壞的合同。作為小市場球隊，他們難得地從新奧爾良吸引了自
由球員大衛西。
However, they face the classic small-market conundrum: How do we snag a star
if we don't win the lottery? While Plan A is hoping Dwight Howard develops a
passion for corn, more realistically their hopes depend on an advantageous
trade opportunity. They've set themselves up for that chance, but they still
need the right deal to fall into their laps.
然而，他們面臨著經典的小市場的難題：如果不能在樂透拿到大獎，那我們可以如何嵌
入一個明星？Ａ計劃是期望霍華德的熱情。現實一點的話，他們的希望取決於一個有利
的交易機會。他們已經為自己建立了這樣的機會，但他們仍然需要一個正確的交易。
In the meantime, they'll hope Paul George can take a step toward addressing
their star problem. The second-year pro won't be their best player this
season, but he is an alluring prospect with his size and fluidity, and at
6-10 combines with Danny Granger to give Indy the biggest wing combo in the
league. In fact, long term one suspects Granger will be traded for a guard to
clear the decks for George at the 3.
在此期間，他們將希望PG能夠更進一步，解決他們的明星問題。二年生不會是他們這季最
好的球員，但憑著他的體型和靈活，他有一個誘人的前景。6-10的PG加上小葛，給了
Pacers聯盟中最大型的側翼組合。事實上，長期而言，小葛也許會被拿去換一個後衛，以
清出3號位的空間給PG。
Despite the absence of a star, Indy has built itself a nice, deep team that
should be able to take advantage of tired opponents on the schedule. One gets
the impression they aren't quite done in the backcourt -- the only real
rotation-quality guards on the roster are Darren Collison and George Hill,
and neither sees the floor well. A deft passer would be Indy's preference
going forward, because their frontcourt can seriously fill it up. West,
Granger, George, Tyler Hansbrough and Roy Hibbert all should average at or
near a point every two minutes this season.
儘管沒有明星，Pacers建立了一個好而深的球隊，憑此他們應該可以在疲憊的對手身上取
得優勢。他們的後場不是很完整，陣容裡只有DC和小山是有質素的後衛，而他們都不太能
閱讀球場。靈巧的傳球手會是他們優先的考慮，因為他們有一個很棒的前場了。大衛西、
小葛、PG、漢堡和Roy都可以在兩分鐘裡拿到一分。
The good news is that getting good guards is generally easier than nabbing
bigs; the more difficult problem has already been solved. The Pacers have a
two-year window to convert some of that cap space into an A-lister before the
kids start becoming restricted free agents and hammering away at Indy's cap
position, but they've put themselves in great shape. For now they're a merely
interesting, one-and-done playoff team, but they're potentially much, much
more.
好消息是，一般而言，好後衛比大個子易於取得，他們已經解決了比較棘手的問題。在小
朋友們成為RFA並佔用薪資空間之前，Pacers有兩年的時間去把空間換成頂尖球員。但他
們已經讓自己處於很好的位置。現在他們只是一隊有點趣味，在季後賽到此一遊的球隊。
但他們可以是更多，更多。
