Why Steve Nash should not be traded and a look at the Phoenix Suns’ future. http://0rz.tw/BnoSA 有點長，簡短說，除非有好到受不了的提案才需要考慮交易。例如KD for Nash...(毆飛) 翻譯開始 I was not the least bit surprised by all the Amare Stoudemire trade rumors that swirled through the Phoenix Suns organization for the past two years (and then some). STAT was getting set to be an unrestricted free agent, and the Suns had to weigh the virtues of keeping him to win in the short term and retain the best chance of re-signing him with dealing him to acquire some assets before he bolts for nothing but a trade exception. 對於過去兩年一直出現關於Amare的交易傳言，我並不是非常驚訝。 Amare即將變成UFA而太陽除了需要他幫助球隊贏球，也需要開始處理他的續約以免最後只剩下TE。 But for a national analyst like Ric Bucher to stick his neck out and say Steve Nash is the top name to be mentioned in trade discussions other than Carmelo Anthony kind of caught me off guard. Not that I didn’t spend much of Friday’s game against the Grizzlies debating the very idea with KTAR’s Adam Green, but I just didn’t think it was reality at this point in the season. 有位專家提到Nash才是最該交易的人而不是Anthony，不過我不覺得在這季的這個時間點是真實的， Alvin Gentry did all he could to put a stop to the chatter by proclaiming at Wednesday’s practice that Nash “is not going to be traded” (no word on if he also proclaimed that the sky is still going to be blue). Frankly, I take Gentry at face value and feel that a number of circumstances would have to occur for this to become even a reasonable discussion. Gentry盡他所能的滅火，但說真的，我覺得某些特定情況將可能發生而讓Nash的交易討論變成合理的。 Entering the offseason, the Suns had a number of different courses they could potentially chart. Plan A (in theory) was re-sign Amare, maintain the status quo and then have this become “Amare’s team” once Nash retires. 就進攻方來說，太陽有許多可能選擇的路線，計畫A就是續簽Amare讓太陽在Nash 退休後變成Amare的隊伍。 Once STAT bolted to New York, the Suns could either reload by acquiring a David Lee or Al Jefferson to replace Stoudemire or roll over their cap space to the following offseason when Jason Richardson was coming off the books and they could be a major player in free agency. 而Amare去尼克之後，太陽可以找David Lee或是Al Jefferson來取代Amare，或是在今年靠著Richardson成為FA之後所空出的薪資空間去補人。 The Suns sort of chose the latter option by reloading, yet they replaced Amare with a combination of Hedo Turkoglu, Josh Childress and Hakim Warrick rather than a traditional four man. In doing so the Suns made a statement that they were going for it one more time with Nash (albeit without a traditional pick-and-roll partner). 太陽則是選擇重建清單，沒錯，他們找來Hedo+Childress+Warrick取代Amare而不是傳統的四號球員，這表示太陽將有可能再做一次來取代Nash(儘管沒有一個傳統的 P&R夥伴)。 By also re-signing Channing Frye and now during the season extending Jared Dudley, the Suns have made it impossible to rebuild through free agency during the foreseeable future. 加上續約Frye和延長Dudley，在可預見未來太陽將不會透過FA來重建。 During the Lon Babby press conference, Robert Sarver stood up and said he surveyed the future free agent market, realized the Suns weren’t going to sign a Carmelo type of star and decided to this route. 在Lon Babby的記者會上，Sarver站出來說太陽將不會在自由球員市場簽下Carmelo 之類的明星球員並決定之後的發展路線。 Take a look at the Phoenix Suns salaries for the next few seasons. When the offseason began, only Nash and Leandro Barbosa’s player option were committed for next season aside from guys on their rookie deals like Robin and Goran. Now they have close to $50 million in commitments for next season if you factor in minimum rookie deals, and that’s even with J-Rich’s $14.4 million coming off the cap. The two seasons after that they already possess about $33 million in commitments, and with likely raises due to Robin and Goran it’s unlikely that the Suns will have a ton of cap space for some time. 筆者:這兩段我不太懂為什麼薪資跟Barbosa有關，不過簡單說就是就算未來兩年的到期約都不續簽，太陽的薪資還是達到33M，這之中當年也不包括Dragic和Lopez兩人的約。 That brings us back to Nash. The Suns did not make the moves they did this summer just to blow it all up a couple weeks into the season. If the Suns wanted to rebuild, they would have either acquired an Al Jefferson type of player to build around or waited until this summer to make their splash. 讓我們焦點回到Nash身上，太陽在開季前沒啥行動，如果太陽想重建，應該找來像 Al Jefferson之類的球員或是等到這個暑假再開始灑銀彈。 Instead they attempted to fashion a roster that could win this year. There’s no way the Suns will blow that up without finding out how good it can be, as well they should. 可是作為取代重建，他們儘可能的為了獲勝而調整球員清單，所以沒道理太陽這季會爆炸而不做出任何改變。 Especially considering Phoenix’s treacherous November schedule, this team needs at least until January or February to see if the pieces fit. With the Suns integrating three new important pieces into an unconventional style and with one of those players gutting it out through a broken finger and another basically switching positions after a 10-year career, even if they are a few games below .500 at the end of this month give them time. 尤其考慮到太陽十一月的可惡賽程(大概是指客場B2B)，這支球隊需要等到一月甚至二月才能知道這些零件是否合的起來。這些非傳統的零件包括一個手指受傷的球員，也包括讓一個已經打了十年的球員轉換位置。所以即使這支球隊勝率不到五成，但還請多給他們一點時間。 After last year’s blazing hot start, the Suns were worse than mediocre for two months before becoming the best team in the West (well, with the Lakers cruising to the finish at least) throughout the rest of the regular season and up until the conference finals. 太陽去年有個非常好的開始，但中間有段非常糟的時間，但在明星賽後以勝率第一成為西區最好的球隊(痾...湖人是從頭到位都是第一)，就這樣保持到季末。 This team needs time to see if Nash can make one final run in the Valley. 這支球隊需要看Nash是否能在溪谷做最後一次奔跑。 The counterpoint exclaims that this Suns team won’t win a title even if they do gel, so get something for Nash while there’s still time. counterpoint(?)指出即使太陽各零件合在一起了仍然不太會贏，所以趁現在還是時間替Nash做點事吧。 This goes back to the whole “Is it good enough to just be a really good team for a really long time or are you ultimately judged by championships” question. No comment, Lakers fans. 所以回到整件事，"當個長期的強隊"和"為了冠軍而努力"哪個好？湖人迷不準回答。 (筆者:最後那句應該是在開湖人迷的玩笑吧？) 重點來了 If the Suns fall out of the playoff race (which I doubt will happen), Nash goes to management and nicely asks for a better situation (there’s no other way it could be done) and the Suns find a team willing to deal a young potential centerpiece, that’s the only way I do it. I’m not talking cap relief and a pick (remember, the Suns won’t be in a position to take advantage of cap relief so it’s not an asset they should value), I want a bonafide young big man. 如果太陽沒打進季後賽，把Nash放進交易區，然後找一好的買家願意提供年輕且有潛力的中心球員，這是我唯一會做的。我不會考慮空出薪資或是選秀權，我要一個年輕大個子。(記得，太陽沒有操作薪資空間的餘地) I’m talking about a Josh Smith-type of player or better. And for the dealing team, why would they give up such a vital piece to acquire a soon-to-be 37-year-old point guard? 我是說像Josh Smith類型的球員，或是更好的。而對於想交易的球員，為什麼他們願意放棄這樣的球員而要一個將要37歲的控衛？ Even without Nash the Suns have enough quality players to avoid becoming the kind of lottery team bad enough to draft a future stud. So unless the wheels fall off completely and a stud you can rebuild around is available, I would hold on to Nash until the summer when trades aren’t made so much on the fly. Also, I’ve always believed Nash can’t just come into a system and be at his optimal level of effectiveness since he needs so much of an offense to be built around him, although I suppose that would not be an issue in New York for obvious reasons. 即時沒有Nash，太陽仍有夠好的球員而不會淪落那種糟糕到不僅是樂透還可以抽狀元的球隊，所以除非有包含好的基石球員的交易出現，不然我在暑假前都不會考慮Nash的交易。而且我也覺得不會有系統是在進攻上再度圍繞他當中心，即使我覺得對尼克來說不會有問題。(筆者：Amare表示：) Looking at the Suns’ future, I do worry that they will be stuck in the middle of being good enough to be a borderline playoff team but never bad enough to bottom out and draft a Tim Duncan. 我對太陽的未來並不會感到憂心，我不會擔心他們會卡在季後賽入口而永遠不會糟糕到可以抽到Tim Duncan. (筆者：馬刺躺著也中槍，不過他們運氣真的不是普通的好) With Dudley now re-signed, they have an immediate future post-Nash core of Dragic-Childress-Hedo-Warrick-Lopez with Dudley-Frye-Lawal (if he pans out) coming off the bench. 因為Dudley續約，所以太陽未來可以擺出沒有Nash的陣容Dragic-Childress-Hedo- Warrick-Lopez，還有板凳的Dudley-Frye-Lawal。 Add a stud power forward, move Warrick to the bench and acquire another guard and that could be a solid team, although not one that will be challenging the Heat and the Thunder any time soon. Sure, there are too many players that can be considered role players, but aside from Hedo’s horrendous contract and the fact that Channing is a bit overpaid those really aren’t bad deals. 加個穩健的PF讓Warrick到替補，再找個後衛，太陽就可變成一隻穩固的球隊，當然不會是跟熱火或雷霆比。我們有太多功能性球員，不過先把Hedo恐怖的薪資放旁邊，然後忽略Frye的薪資偏高的事實，其實太陽那些約真的都不壞。 In an ideal world for Phoenix fans, the Suns will be the buyers at the deadline searching for a four that can rebound and defend, run the pick-and-roll with Nash now and slot into the four spot of that future starting lineup. 對於太陽迷的最大幻想是，太陽在交易截止前可以找到有籃板和防守還可以和 Nash做Pick&Roll的球員，未來還能當四號先發。 (筆者:真夠美好) We don’t know how ideal that world will be come January and February. 我們並不知道到一二月的時候會變怎樣。 If this season is in the dumps and you can acquire an impact future piece and do Nash right by sending him to a contender, consider it at that time but not before this team that they built to remain competitive with Nash and gave up future cap space to do so has time to gel. 如果球季結束太陽打的很糟，那你可以要求把Nash送出去換個未來的中心球員回來，但也請到時候再說。現在的太陽是個放棄未來和薪資空間，就為了繼續替Nash打造一個有競爭力的球隊。 Unless a superstar falls in their laps, the Suns appear to have a nice future core to win games but not one that will set the league on fire with so many of them being role players. 除非有巨星降臨，不然即使未來的太陽仍會是支不錯的球隊，但在聯盟也翻不起什麼風浪，因為有太多功能型球員了。 Why end the Nash era early when there’s only that to look forward to? 在這個只能向總冠軍看的時候，為什麼要這麼快終止Nash的年代？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.233.182.253 ※ 編輯: truegodchild 來自: 118.233.182.253 (11/12 19:38)
