By Stephen Brotherston NBA Writer Toronto headed into this off season with what Raptors President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo described as flexibility and a stated desire to dramatically improve on last year’s results. Colangelo had engineered the potential for a blockbuster trade at the draft and the ability to create the salary cap space to go after a big name free agent. Nothing happened at the draft and in many people’s eyes when Steve Nash picked the Lakers over Toronto, Colangelo’s plans had failed, but maybe not. “In the couple of weeks leading up to the draft and now entering free agency with a whole host of things, you never quite know how it is going to turn out, ” said Colangelo. “You hope you can anticipate certain results and you have different scenarios that you put on paper and you have a lot of balls up in the air. In fact we have been juggling a lot of different scenarios over the last several weeks that we are very pleased with the outcome here with respect to some of the pieces as they fall into place.” The Raptors did land their point guard of the future in a post draft trade with Houston. While Kyle Lowry isn’t Steve Nash, he will have a dramatic positive impact on how the Raptors perform next season. In what was perceived as mostly a play to knock the New York Knicks out of contention for Nash, the Raptors offered Landry Fields a three-year back-loaded contract worth about $19 million. The luxury tax challenged Knicks declined to match and Fields will join the Raptors for next season. “It’s pleasing, it’s satisfying to see that the pieces you aimed for you get and whether it was draft, free agency and also trades,” said Colangelo. “We have priorities on various players and we are making a lot of headway toward those priorities.” The Raptors did not have to offer a “poison-pill” type of contract to Fields in order to disrupt the Knicks ability to use him in a sign-and-trade with the Suns for Nash, a more straightforward offer sheet could have accomplished that goal. The offer sheet was designed to get the Knicks to give up their restricted free agent and enable the Raptors to get their man. It’s obvious the Raptors had many needs heading into this off season if the goal was to challenge for a playoff spot and one of those needs was a “ glue-player” similar to what Jorge Garbajosa provided Toronto in the Division championship season of 2006-2007. Garbajosa had the court awareness and discipline to make everyone around him better at the defensive end and the Raptors were never the same after he was injured. In a more current context, Colangelo identifies a more familiar player. “Comparisons, is he a Shane Battier type,” said Colangelo. “Shane obviously has had a very nice career, but (Fields has) very similar traits. A lot of similar characteristics and if we get anything close to that we are going to be happy. “We anticipate very solid things out of Landry and you kind of look at certain guys in the league and project them out to be certain types of players. He clearly is a versatile player and a guy who can stop an opponent at various positions. Back in college he probably played four positions or he guarded four positions. He can probably played a little bit of two, three and even some very small four in certain situations or he can guard players like that and we know what we are going to get from him every day in practice, every game when he steps on the court. We know what we are going to get from him. That’s the kind of guy you want to invest in and understand that you are going to get something tangible from him every time he steps on the floor for your team.” At the very least, Fields brings a Battier-type attitude to the Raptors, a team first orientation that can make the players around him better. A number one option and 22 point per game player in his senior year at Stanford, Fields adapted quickly to being the fourth or fifth option as a starter in New York and has proven his willingness to sacrifice personal statistics in order to get wins. “At times it can be difficult,” said Fields. “But I think when you understand your worth and when teams instill that worth in you knowing you do these things well and the intangibles in your game might not show up in the stats sheet. When they know that and bank on you for those certain reasons, stats kind of go out the window. You just want to go out there and perform to the best of your ability and hopefully win.” These are the values Raptors Head coach Dwane Casey puts a premium on and represents how he wants his team to play going forward. Fields was signed to that offer sheet by the Raptors because he is a Casey-type player and Fields signed in Toronto because he can see how he fits in. 大致翻譯如下: 暴龍隊總管柯蘭吉洛，針對上賽季的最終結果，在這個暑假休賽期，提出以"靈活度"為主軸來改善並重整球隊。在他設計的重建草案裡，曾出現過希望在現有薪資空間裡，以大交易包換來大牌自由球員，只是老部屬奈許捨棄暴龍去湖人後，很多人認為他的重建計畫是以失敗收場，但，也許沒有失敗唷。 "在這幾周間，自由市場有很多狀況，縱使有一套優先的補強草案，你卻永遠不知道自由球員市場的走向會變成什麼樣子"，柯蘭吉洛這樣說。"你總會希望你能率先預期選的人會為球隊帶來怎樣的成果，因此會先擬很多交易草案，而紙上談兵是一件超高難度且不容失敗的事"。好在事實上，過去幾周裡從很多交易草案中，我們最終還是有變了一些戲法，獲得讓人高興的球隊新陣容與未來定位。在與休士頓的交易案裡，暴龍得到了球隊未來的當家控球Kyle Lowry。雖然他並不是奈許，但他對暴龍隊下賽季的表現有著積極影響面。而暴龍在競逐奈許中的主要對手尼克中找到了L.Fields，並決定花3年1900萬鎂簽下LF。最後也因尼克因為不想留了LF，反造成他們最後要負擔奢侈稅，所以尼克拒絕跟進這份合約，讓LF下賽季正式成為暴龍人。 "當看到針對性的補強最後都有收穫時，很值得開心"，柯蘭吉洛說道："無論是選秀、簽自由球員、還是交易案，我們球隊都有各式球員的優先考慮事項，而這些優先考慮事項也都取得了進展。在暴龍搶L.Fields過程中，他們並非為了使出那種毒藥式的合約手段，去干擾尼克想對 Nash先簽後換的作法。他們是直接提出這份高薪報價單，讓尼克知難而退撤手來得到LF。很明顯，休賽期間暴龍有很多目標要去做，其中，若暴龍把季後賽席次當作一個目標，他們就需要像是06-07賽季中，Jorge Garbajosa那樣的黏合劑球員，當年幫他們搶下分組冠軍的關鍵成員。當年Garbajosa讓周遭的隊友在防守端上更好了，但他受傷後，暴龍隊整體在場上的表現，就再也沒有當時他在場時那種紀律跟共同意識了。而柯蘭吉洛在比較前後差異下，確信他們現在需要一個跟Garbajosa類似的球員。柯蘭吉洛表示：「我認為他是一個巴提耶類型的好手，巴提耶有個不錯的職業球員生涯，而LF的許多特質又跟巴提耶相近，如果他們特質很像，對於我們球隊整體而言是非常值得高興的事」「我們對於LF有很多穩固的預測，你看那些聯盟中被預測"非戰力"的人，都是某些特定性質的人(而他不是這種類型的)。他顯然是個多才多藝的好手，而且在各個位置上對手都無法擋住他。在大學時代，他可能已經打過四個位置，防守也能守上四個位。他也許能從1 號打到2號，3號，某些情況下甚至能4號位。我們知道得到他就能預期他每天都會積極練習，當每次比賽時他能在場上馬上進入狀況。我們確信能從他這裡獲得些什麼，這傢伙就是你想得到的球隊特質，理解與投入，並且一步步能讓團隊更好的人」對暴龍來說，最少Fields的到來，能注入巴提耶式的態度。"團隊第一"的方向，可以讓他周圍的隊友變得更好。當年他在史丹佛大學大四時，他是球隊第4得分點，他場均還是能來到22分。到了尼克之後，他在尼克先發中一樣是第4，甚至變成第5得分點，然而這顯示他屬於那種可以犧牲個人數據，去換取球隊勝利的人。 Fields自己是這麼說的: 「有時，這東西其實很難理解並取捨。但，當你能了解你的價值，以及你自己做這種決定對團隊灌輸的理念為何時，做這樣的決定是好的。即使它是個無形的價值，但無形價值本來就不會在有形的比賽以及統計資料表中看的出來。如果你只是想在外執行並運用你的能力好好完成任務以贏球，那個人數據其實相對沒有那麼重要」 Fields這種不計較個人的想法，也就是暴龍教練凱西為何建議提高對Fields報價的主因。他相信Field的到來，會讓球隊有不一樣的價值觀，並且能好好展望未來。在多倫多， Fields的團隊至上態度必有用武之地。 ---------------------------------------------- 心得:像這種不計較個人得失,一切都是為了團隊更好的球員真的有價值... 特別是在個人主義至上的北美體育界若有這種懂得犧牲小我的球員... 教練一定會特別垂愛吧!? 話說...看完這篇我也真覺得Fields有機會成為巴爺第二... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 60.248.143.85
