http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/7119120.html GM Morey won't concede Rockets a done deal By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle July 21, 2010, 10:58PM Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, having spent consecutive afternoons at news conferences to discuss his roster moves, did not leave Toyota Center on Wednesday for a spot on a beach somewhere. That trip might come eventually, but for now he said he will still work the phones and will still seek deals, largely because that is what owner Leslie Alexander pays him to do. Morey每天都在接受採訪有關球隊補強的消息。 If, however, he is indeed done and the roster is set, Morey insisted he is happy with the Rockets as now reassembled. With Luis Scola and Kyle Lowry officially signed Wednesday, a day after Morey introduced free-agent addition Brad Miller, the Rockets have 15 players signed to guaranteed contracts, including every player who finished last season with the team. That was enough for Morey to say he was happy, if not necessarily satisfied, with the Rockets' roster in place. Morey簽下Miller、Lowry、Scola，他對目前完整的陣容感到開心。 "I think we're a quality team with a lot of depth, great veterans, good youth, guys who can improve," Morey said. "We feel good about where the team is at. Obviously, we're always trying to keep improving, but the next step, to improve on the guys we have, is harder. We get lots of trade opportunities and frankly most of the guys we get offered wouldn't play in our rotation. "Every GM, it's our job to try to look to improve the team. But we feel very good about the set of players we have now. We think it's a playoff team. We'd like to get home court. We feel great about this team." 「我想我們火箭現在陣容堅強，板凳深度雄厚，有很棒的老將以及有潛力的菜鳥，」 Morey說。「我們現在覺得球隊很好。我們一直都在補強球隊，但要讓球隊的這些人繼續進步，這才是更困難的。」莫神一再強調他感覺良好。 Lowry and Scola said they felt great about how things worked out for them. Lowry had hoped to land a starting position and signed an offer sheet with the Cleveland Cavaliers with that in mind. But he said Wednesday he was happy with his role, even referring to himself as Aaron Brooks' backup. Lowry和Scola也覺得一切都很好。Lowry曾經希望能到別隊打先發控衛，騎士也提出一份不錯的合約。不過他說即使擔任Aaron Brooks的替補也是很開心的。 "It's not an issue at all for me," Lowry said. "Everybody knows I wanted to be a starter. The Rockets did what they had to do to retain my rights and have the option to match any offers out there. I'm back. I'm going to be the backup for Aaron. The Rockets did what they always said they were going to do. Daryl and those guys brought me back, brought Scola back. I'm happy to be back." 「這沒啥阿，」Lowry說。「每個人都知道我想打先發，而火箭也有把我簽回來的權力。我現在回來了，我會繼續擔任洨AB的替補。火箭之前就一直說會把我和Scola簽回來，而他們真的做到了。我很高興回到火箭。」 The Rockets announced they would match the four-year, $23.5 million offer sheet for Lowry the morning after he signed it. 火箭開給Lowry 4年2350萬。 An easy sell With indications that the New Jersey Nets had decided to chase Scola with a five-year, $55 million contract, heavily front-loaded and with a $9.5 million signing bonus, the Rockets offered a five-year, $47 million contract and Scola quickly accepted, rather than to wait for another offer or return to the Spanish League. 之前籃網隊決定競爭Scola，而且開出5年5500萬的合約，另外還有950萬的簽約獎金。而火箭開出的是5年4700萬的合約。但Scola很快的就接受火箭開出的合約，完全不考慮別隊或是回西班牙聯盟。 Scola said he also would have considered agreeing to a sign-and-trade to Toronto had the Rockets been able to land Chris Bosh. Scola說，之前火箭打算競爭Bosh時，他也願意用先簽後換來配合。 "I tried not to think about it," Scola said. "If you want to be in sign-and-trade, I would have to say yes. 「我試過別去想這件事，」Scola說。「如果真的要把我先簽後換，我會說好。」 "I wanted to play in the NBA. This contract guarantees I'm going to play in the NBA a lot more years, seven or eight years overall. I think that for me means a lot. I reached a goal. I knew Houston wanted me here. I knew it was going to be done somehow." 「我很想繼續留在NBA打球。簽了這份約代表我會繼續在這邊打好幾年。這對我意義重大，我達到我以前隊自己的期許。我知道火箭希望我留下來，我知道這一定會成真的。」 Now that he is back, Scola said he liked the Rockets' chances to return to where they were when Yao Ming was injured — pushing the Los Angeles Lakers to seven games in the playoffs' second round - with the potential to be better. "I think we have a lot of pieces to make something good," Scola said. "You got to put it together and see it on the court and see how it works before you go that far (to be considered contenders). I think we have more options. We have Brad Miller now. I think we could be better." 「我們火箭會越來越強大。」 Big expectations Lowry said the "expectation" is to be a playoff team. The plan, however, is to do much more. "I want to win championships," Lowry said. "I know Luis wants to win championships. I know Mr. Alexander, Daryl, the whole organization wants to win championships. This summer was a building block toward that for us, bringing me and Luis back, getting Brad. Having Yao healthy, it's big. We want to win games, go to the playoffs and go deep into the playoffs." 「我想拿總冠軍！」Lowry說。「我知道Luis想拿冠軍，我知道Alexander和Morey也想拿冠軍，整個球隊的組織都想。我們正朝著這個方向前進，我和Scola都回到火箭，火箭也順利簽下大米。加上姚明會回來，這很重要。我們想贏球，打進季後賽，而且要走的更遠！」 Morey did not proclaim that the Rockets have a championship roster, yet. He has a small portion of his mid-level exception and his bi-annual exception of $2.08 million remaining, but he is more likely to look for opportunities for trades. If he cannot find them, however, he sounded happy with the team he has, even if he was not ready to take a summer vacation. 然而Morey沒說過火箭已經有總冠軍的陣容。他手中還有一小部分的中產，以及一份 2.08M的雙年特約。但目前看起來他傾向透過交易來補強陣容。即使他沒辦法找到適合的交易，他看起來對目前陣容還是感到很滿意。 "Mr. Alexander gives me the job to try to improve this team," Morey said. "Improving it I think is going to be very, very difficult. This is our group, and I think it's a good group."｛「Alexander給我這份工作要我試著把球隊變得更好，」Morey說。「這份工作真的很難。火箭是個很棒的團隊。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.24.155.176
