As the front-runner to acquire Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers, the
Nuggets are pushing hard to complete a trade for the 31-year-old point guard
as early as today.
金塊隊是現在最努力，想很快完成交易到AI的隊伍，
According to league sources, the Nuggets are leading the race for Iverson by
working aggressively to meet the demands of Philadelphia, which seeks the
salary-cap flexibility provided by expiring contracts of veteran players and
the draft picks required to rebuild its roster.
根據聯盟的消息指出，金塊隊是在追求AI的隊伍當中，是最積極的以及處在領先的地位，
而且他們開出的條件也是76人隊所追求的合約年球員以及第一輪的選秀權，可以清掉薪資
的負擔以及來重建球隊。
With two first-round picks in the 2007 draft, the Nuggets have positioned
themselves in "the driver's seat" and are "leading the pack" against league
rivals also looking to acquire Iverson, according to a source familiar with
negotiations.
金塊擁有2007年兩個第一輪選秀權，所以跟其他隊伍比較起來，在交易AI的競爭下處與領
先的地位。
It's a complicated trade, however, that would involve at least five players,
three teams and two draft choices, plus the approval of Nuggets owner Stan
Kroenke and Sixers chairman Ed Snider.
這是非常複雜的交易，這將會是指少五名球員，三個隊伍以及兩個首輪選秀權的交易。這
已經得到兩方面 (76人跟金塊) 老闆的許可了。
From all indications, Philadelphia is more concerned with financial freedom
than the raw ability of the players it receives in return for Iverson and his
$17.1 million salary.
從一些跡象顯示，費城76人隊比較關心薪資的問題 (如何解決AI 1710萬的合約)，得到怎
麼樣能力的球員似乎不是那麼重要。
Key to completing the deal is Denver's ability to persuade a third team to
get involved in the trade, with the Nuggets working on at least two fronts
Thursday, holding discussions with Dallas and Portland.
要完成這個交易的重要關鍵是，金塊隊要勸服第三隊來加入這個大型的交易，現在比較有
機會的是達拉斯以及波特蘭? (小牛不是說不要了嗎?)
For Philadelphia's purposes, the most desirable trade bait on Denver's roster
is Joe Smith, not for his 5.6 scoring average, but because the veteran big
man is earning $6.8 million in the final year of his contract.
76人隊的目的是680萬合約年的Joe Smith，而不是5.6分的平均得分.
With the exception of Smith and two draft picks, however, Denver's end of the
deal remains fluid, and could include forward Eduardo Najera, according to an
NBA source.
除了Smith跟兩個首輪選秀權外，金塊的另一個交易的對象還沒有確定，聽說前鋒
Eduardo Najera也有可能被放在這項交易之中。
To satisfy the 76ers' desire for as many expiring contracts as possible,
league sources said Denver has held trade talks with Dallas regarding forward
Austin Croshere ($7.3 million salary) and Portland for Jamaal Magloire ($8.4
million), both role players in the final year of what would be considered bad
contracts except in this situation.
為了滿足76人的要求，金塊隊有跟小牛 (Austin Croshere 730萬) 跟波特蘭 (Jamaal
Magloire 840萬) 討論過他們所擁有的合約年球員，看看有沒有交易的可能。
Frustrated by earlier attempts to pry Magloire from Portland by offering
Nene, the Nuggets have heard from other less-than-benevolent potential trade
partners, including Chicago. The Bulls, however, had their sights set on
center Marcus Camby, whom Denver has no interest in moving.
稍早的時候，他們在送NENE到波特蘭的這項交易中受到挫敗，此外還聽到一些有可能的交
易對象如芝加哥隊，他們對Marcus Camby有很大的興趣，但是金塊隊不想用CAMBY交易。
The hefty financial weight of Nene's new, long-term contract has diminished
chances he will be included in the trade.
NENE又臭又長的約讓他被交易的機會越來越少。
With the seventh-best record in the Western Conference this season and not so
much as a single playoff series won since 1994, Denver is willing to take a
chance on Iverson's history of off-court drama to obtain his 28.1 career
scoring average and a fierce competitiveness that makes the skinny guard the
most intimidating player on the court.
對金塊來說他們非常希望擁有AI這位強勢的後衛加入他們的後場。
"He's unstoppable," Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony said of Iverson,
currently the top vote-getter among Eastern Conference guards in balloting
for the NBA All-Star Game. "That pretty much explains what he can do on the
court."
Carmelo Anthony說 "他是無人可擋的"，現在他還是東區明星賽後衛最高票，"這正可以
解釋他本身的能力是如此的受大家肯定"
Although guard J.R. Smith's name has been floated in discussions, the Nuggets
hope to retain him, sources indicated, because this deal will depend more on
the fine print of contracts than talent.
雖然J.R. Smith一直出現在交易的名單當中，但是金塊希望能夠不要交易到他，因為這個
交易的主要焦點是在薪資的對稱而不是球員的能力。
Other reported suitors for Iverson include the Los Angeles Clippers,
Minnesota, Boston and Miami. Although Philadelphia has indicated interest in
getting a deal done quickly, if the Sixers decide to wait, the list of
competitors against Denver could grow. That's why the Nuggets are in a hurry
to end the competition.
其他想要交易AI的隊伍有，快艇隊、塞爾提克隊、熱火等等，雖然76人希望能夠早點交易
成功，假如76人隊決定等待更好的交易，那對金塊來說，拖的越久競爭者越多，所以這就
是為什麼金塊要儘早完成交易的原因了。
大家看看囉~~~不過大致上就是那些交易~~~
可以來討論討論.............
