標題：Jared Dudley Dishes on Lockout, Offseason Plans By: Alex Kennedy Jared Dudley has attended the bargaining meetings, reviewed the proposals and stayed in the loop during these labor talks. As the primary player representative for the Phoenix Suns, Dudley is involved in these negotiations and sharing whatever information he gleans with his teammates. Throughout this process, Dudley insists that the owners haven't been willing to make any compromises, which has led to this current stalemate. Rather than negotiating, Dudley feels that the owners are simply waiting this out in hopes that the players eventually come around and accept their proposal. Dudley 是太陽隊主要的球員代表，前陣子的勞資談判會議他都有參與，他會審查那些會議的提議，並且分享這些訊息給其他隊友們知道。經過這麼多次會議，Dudley 認為這些老闆們並沒有誠意要跟他們妥協，這也導致眼前的僵局。Dudley 覺得他們只想等著讓封館發生，然後暗自揣測球員們的心態，最後只能接受資方提議。 "There's no negotiating," Dudley told HOOPSWORLD. "Until the owners are willing to negotiate, we're going to be locked out. The reason that the players have to do this is because if we took their deal, it would be the worst deal that any players association has ever accepted - not only in basketball, but in baseball, football and hockey as well." "They don't want any guaranteed deals. They want to have a hard cap. They want the highest paid player to make $13 million, when Kobe Bryant is supposed to make $25 million next season. They want to move our revenue sharing from 57 percent to 47 percent. They want to guarantee that every owner makes a profit of at least $10 million each year, no matter what. That's the biggest one. Even if the owner hires a terrible general manager and doesn't run the team well, they will still gain a profit. You can't have that. You really can't have that because there has to be consequences for every action. If you were a bad writer and interviewed the wrong people, you would get fired from your job. There has to be consequences," Dudley added. Dudley 告訴 HOOPSWORLD 的記者：「除非他們有心要跟我們談，否則這根本談都甭談。現在這樣的局面也是我們球員迫不得已的，因為他們提議的新方案未來會是最糟糕的合約，不只是籃球員，就連棒球員、美式足球員或是冰上曲棍球員都會無法接受的。」「他們無法提供保障合約，只想規定薪資硬上限，像是 Kobe 那樣的頂級球星下季年薪將有2500萬鎂，但他們未來只肯付1300萬鎂。他們想佔有更多利益，希望將BRI從57% 調降到47%，不管怎樣，只想著如何讓每位老闆一年至少獲益1000萬鎂。這就是問題所在，即使老闆雇來一位很差勁的GM，讓球隊運作不怎樣，他們還是可以獲得一筆收入，而你也不用想分到半分錢，因為接下來你會淪為這種體制下惡性循環的受害者。如果你是文筆不怎樣的作家，還去採訪一位不合題材的人，那就等著被炒魷魚吧！就　是這種後果。」　 Dudley and his peers are adamant that they won't accept this latest proposal. In fact, they would opt to miss multiple seasons before giving in to the deal that the owners have put on the table. "If they refuse to change their views, we would lock out the whole year, maybe even two years," Dudley said. "That would be better for players than agreeing to their deal." "My contract would be cut back 40 percent under their new deal," he added. "Every contract that has already been signed would be different. LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have signed contracts, but their deal would be rolled back 40 percent. Players can't accept that. We might as well just forfeit the season because losing 40 percent of my whole deal is more than one year of my contract." Dudley 跟他的同伴都堅持不接受資方最後的提議，他們寧可選擇錯過幾個賽季。他說：「如果他們拒絕改變自己的想法，我們已有心理準備會取消整季，甚至可能是兩年。與其同意他們的合約，我們還不如繼續封館或另作打算。」「依據他們的新約，會使我本來的合約裁減40%，其他球員像是 LeBron 跟 Kobe 已經簽訂的合約全都會變不一樣，跟我一樣少了40%。大家都會不能接受，我們可能就乾脆放棄這個賽季不打了，因為少掉合約40%的錢，比我一整年的薪資還多。」 Many have wondered if players will be able to hold their position once they start missing games and paychecks. Dudley believes that players are financially ready for this lockout, and credits the union for preparing everyone well in advance of the work stoppage. "Since I've been in the league, which is four years, they've been letting me know that there would most likely be a lockout," Dudley said. "They made it clear three or four years ago that the owners were preparing for this. The players association has held eight percent of every player's contract and they'll be giving that to every player in August to help them. Whatever money that a player made in their deal, they'll get eight percent of that back so even if players have spent their money, they'll be alright." 許多人都想知道，一旦球員這方失去舞台跟薪水，是否會堅持自己的立場? Dudley 相信都大家早就做好封館的準備。他說：「我踏入NBA已經四年，這段期間的觀察讓我提前意識到可能會封館，早在三、四年前，我感覺到他們已經在醞釀。球員工會每年都會托管球員8%的合約金，直到八月再發還給大家(結算是否超過BRI的57%)，現在看來，無論球員簽的約是多少錢，他們都能取回那8%的錢(因為到時候根本不可能超過57%)，所以球員把這筆錢先花掉也沒關係，反正到時也會覺得沒必要被拿去托管。」 However, if certain players aren't alright, Dudley has no remorse for them. They'll have nobody to blame but themselves because they've had plenty of time to prepare. "If a player isn't ready now, then they'll never be ready for life after basketball," Dudley said. "If you had four years in advance to save your money and you didn't, then you deserve to be broke. You deserve to have problems." 然而，對某些球員還來不及做好因應。Dudley 並不同情他們，因為他們本來就有很多時間可以做準備，時至今日再來怪罪其他人也沒用。 Dudley 說：「如果有人到現在還沒做好準備，那麼他們未來的籃球生涯也永遠都不用準備了。如果你有四年先預存一些錢，但你卻沒那麼做，那你財務出問題，那都是你自己必須去承受的。」 Dudley doesn't have to worry about financial problems anytime soon because he signed a five-year, $22.5 million extension with the Suns in November. While he believes he could've gotten more had he become a free agent, he didn't want to test the market with a lockout looming and preferred the additional security that comes with signing midseason. "I knew [free agency] would be a huge problem so I basically took less for more of a guarantee," Dudley said. "Even though I potentially could have gotten more money, there was also a chance that I could have lost that money. I didn't want to put myself in a predicament where I had an injury or a freak accident. I wanted to make sure that I was in a position where I could make sure my family was taken care of for the rest of our lives." Dudley 並不擔心他有任何財務問題，因為他去年11月才跟太陽簽了2250萬的五年約。他認為自己已打出身價，足以投入自由市場測試身價，但他不想冒著封館的風險，於是在季中選擇較有保險的長期合約。他說：「儘管我有條件去爭取更優渥的合約，但我明白成為自由球員會存在許多風險，所以我後來想少領一點但較有保障的合約。我不想讓自己處於可能受傷或發生意外的未知環境，我比較希望家人能獲得穩定且完善的照顧。」 However, Dudley may end up signing a contract this summer after all: If the lockout isn't resolved in the next several months, he will likely sign with a Chinese team. "It would definitely become an option if they canceled the season," Dudley said. "I'm expecting to miss some games, but I'm also expecting to have a NBA season. If December or January comes around and we're still locked out, I would probably go to China for three or four months and make some money. I don't know if I would go anywhere else. China's seasons are shorter and it would be a really cool experience." 如果接下幾個月還在封館，Dudley 今年夏天最後可能會簽下另一份新約，很可能會跟中國的球隊接洽。他說：「如果取消整個賽季，那我就很可能會這麼選擇。我預料會錯失一些比賽，但我也希望NBA能如期開打。如果不幸的十二月或明年一月都還在封館，我可能就去中國打工三、四個月賺些錢，我不曉得我還能去什麼地方，中國的球季較短而且那也會是很Cool的體驗。」 In the meantime, Dudley will be training at Impact Basketball in Las Vegas. He signed a two-month lease for August and September, and is determined to bulk up this offseason. "I'm in the weight room a lot more this year," he said. "I've already lifted more times this summer than I did the last two summers combined. I'm just trying to get stronger. I'm also working on shooting when coming off of screens and one-dribble pull-ups. I'm trying to make those more consistent because they're really big for the Phoenix Suns, if you look at what we're trying to do. I'm making sure I'm in tip-top shape and trying to get stronger." 休賽期間為了維持球感，Dudley 將會去拉斯維加斯加入一個小型籃球賽，他已經簽了兩個月的短約(8月~9月)。他說：「今年我在重量訓練房的工作量更勝以往，我比過去兩年更加投入，我想變得更強壯。關於投籃，我也下了一番功夫( http://bit.ly/qoBTQd )，我想讓我的投籃出手更加穩定，對太陽會是很大的助益。目前一切都還滿順利的在進行中。」 When he's not lifting weights or listening in on the bargaining meetings, he'll be keeping his fans in the know. Dudley is one of the most interactive and accessible professional athletes, and promises to stay connected with his fans during the lockout. "I try to give updates," Dudley said. "Whenever Billy Hunter updates me, I try to put it out there unless it's related to negotiations or something that I can't talk about. I'll definitely keep people up-to-date on my workouts and what's going on with the lockout." Dudley 沒在重訓房健身或是在會議上聽證時，他都會跟他的球迷分享最新資訊。他也是一位很會跟球迷互動的球員，跟他的球迷允諾封館期間會保持連繫。他說：「工會長 Hunter 提供給我最新消息時，我會篩選一些無法透露的事，能夠講的最新進展就會告訴他們，這陣子我一定會跟人們保持聯絡。」參考連結 http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=20417 https://twitter.com/JaredDudley619 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.170.16.93
