Rockets unlikely to keep former lottery picks
火箭可能不會留下那些樂透球員
Seeking relatively low-risk, high-reward gambles to infuse star power — or
at least, solid contributor power — to his roster, Rockets general manager
Daryl Morey wagered on a sizable chunk of the 2009 draft lottery.
尋找相對低風險高報酬去開發明星球員,或至少有確實貢獻的球員,火箭經理莫雷
對09年樂透球員做了相當大的賭注.
The extent of his gamble, however, could end Wednesday, with the Rockets
unlikely to pick up the fourth-year option on their four lottery picks in
their third seasons.
但這場賭博可能會在週三終止了,火箭可能不會執行這些人的第四年選擇權.
Hasheem Thabeet, Jonny Flynn, Jordan Hill and Terrence Williams were among
the top 11 picks of that draft and were acquired by the Rockets in the
seasons that followed. Only Hill is in the Rockets’ rotation.
塔畢特,Flynn,JH,T威都是在09年前11順位選秀,火箭在那季之後得到他們,
但目前只有JH在輪替陣容.
With Wednesday the deadline for the Rockets to pick up the contract options
for the 2012-13 season, they will allow Williams, Thabeet and Flynn to become
free agents next summer and are still weighing whether to keep Hill under
contract for another season.
In the previous 12 seasons of the existing system for rookie contracts, the
Rockets have picked up the fourth-season option on every first-round pick on
their roster.
The Rockets also face a Wednesday deadline to agree to a contract extension
for fourth-year guard Courtney Lee, but the sides are far apart. The Rockets
are more likely to allow Lee to become a restricted free agent next summer.
週三截止日,他們決定不執行T威,塔畢特,Flynn的下季合約,而Hill仍需評估.
在之前的12個球季,火箭執行了所有第一輪新秀的第四年合約.
同時球隊也面臨是否執行Lee第四年合約的問題,但目前看起來八字沒一撇。 他
們更傾向讓Lee在夏季變成受限制球員.
Hill is by far the most likely to remain under contract for next season. He
began the season as the Rockets’ starting center and has remained in the
rotation despite some wildly inconsistent production. The eighth player
selected in the 2009 draft, Hill was acquired from the Knicks in the Tracy
McGrady deal. His contract would be worth $3.63 million next season.
“To this point, we haven’t heard whether they will pick up the option,”
said Hill’s agent, Kevin Bradbury. “They wait until the very last day all
the time on these things. I don’t see why a guy performing like Jordan has
wouldn’t have his option picked up.”
Hill是目前看起來下季最有可能保住合約的人. 他開季是先發中鋒,如今仍在輪替
之中儘管供輸並不穩定. 這位09年第8順位球員,是在TMac交易案中從尼克過來的.
他下季的合約將會是363萬.
"關於這點,我們還沒聽到球隊是否執行選擇權,他們通常等到最後一刻才會做出決
定. 但我還未見過像Hill這樣表現的球員未被續約的." Hill的經濟人說.
Preference is here
想待在這裡
Hill, who has averaged 4.4 points and 4.9 rebounds, was clear about his
preference.
平均4.4分, 4.9板的Hill很清楚他的傾向.
“I want my option picked up,” he said. “I come out here, do what I have to
do. I’m just waiting for the deadline. I’m not focusing on (the potential
to be a free agent) right now. I’m just focusing on the season. Whatever the
team decides, I’ll go along with it.”
"我希望我被續約,我來到這邊,做了我需做的一切. 我在等待截止日期. 我現在心
思並不放在是否成為自由球員. 我只專注在這一季. 不管球隊決定如何, 我都將會附
和它."
Williams, who began the season in the rotation but has not played in the last
eight games, came at the highest price, with the Rockets sending a
lottery-protected first-round pick in the 2012 draft to acquire him from New
Jersey. He seemed the most ambivalent about being back next season.
T威,一開始也在輪替但最近八場都沒露面,他是以最大代價被換來這裡的,火箭送
出一個2012年被保護的樂透籤將他從Net換過來. 他對於下季是走是留則顯的很矛盾.
“I don’t hope for nothing,” Williams said. “I’m going to continue to do
my job every day, as far as cheer the team on, work out, better myself. I was
told what will happen if they don’t (pick up the option), as far as going
into the summer as a person able to pick where I would go. I can’t control
that. I need to only worry about what I can control.”
But Williams offered a clue about what he’d prefer.
“Hopefully,” he said, “I’ll wake Thursday morning and know my fourth year
is picked up.”
Williams has made a point not to complain about his exclusion from the
rotation, particularly with the Rockets going 7-1 since the change.
“Before he stopped playing, the last game he played, he had a great game in
Oklahoma City,” said Williams’ agent, Aaron Goodwin. “Although it’s
puzzling, we have to support what’s going on because they’re winning.
Houston’s playing well, and we hope that continues. He’ll continue to play
either in Houston or somewhere else.”
"我仍有渴望,我每天繼續著我的工作,盡力鼓舞球隊,努力工作,讓自己更好.
有人告訴我若沒被執行合約會發生啥事,夏季時等著被人簽走. 這是我無法控制
的事情. 我只能擔心我能控制的事情."
但他透露道,"我希望周四睡醒來,知道自己被執行合約了."
T威並不報抱怨火箭把他移出輪值,尤其是這麼做之後,火箭打了一波7-1.
經濟人表示,"在他被移出輪值前,對雷霆那場他打的不錯. 雖然現在還不知為啥,
我們必需支持這做法因為球隊贏個不停. 火箭打的好,我們希望保持下去. 他未來
會在休城或其它地方繼續打下去的."
Happy either way
歡喜就好
Thabeet was less clear about his preference. The top pick of the group, going
second to Memphis, Thabeet has been on the inactive list through most of this
season. He played in just two games with the Rockets last season after the
trade-deadline deal that sent Shane Battier to the Grizzlies.
塔畢特對他自己的傾向還不明朗. 這群人中的最高順位,灰熊的第二順位,在球季
大多時間都是在非激活名單. 他只在去年球季最後兩場露面,火箭是用八爺把他從
灰熊換過來的.
“Whatever option will be great for me,” Thabeet said. “I believe
everything happens for a reason. I work hard. Whatever is going to happen
will be good for me, I guess. I go out and train every day. I’m just going
to keep working.”
"任何選擇對我都是好的,我相信事出必有因. 我努力工作. 我猜吧,歡喜的
去看待逆境順境的每一天. 我每天都出門訓練. 我將會繼續下去."
There was a lot of that for the Rockets’ Class of ’09 in a long
post-practice session Tuesday, with time likely running out on the gambles.
在週二練習後的漫長會議,對火箭的2009班是意味深長的,而時間也會在
這場賭注上慢慢走完. (這段怪怪的,再請版友指正)
個人覺的除了Hill,其它應該都不會留了......

其實塔畢特那段講的不錯,尤其是對我們這種市井小民們.
時機歹歹,仍要正面的去看待生活和工作.
