Pay up -- Jefferson to the Spurs
http://0rz.tw/CFvg7
Richard Jefferson can defend and rebound for a small forward. He shoots free
throws at an 80 percent clip, and he shoots a lot of them. He's healthy and
he just turned 29.
RJ以一個SF而言他能防守也能抓板。他的罰球一點也不馬刺(80%)而且他常站上罰球線
。他很健康而且才剛滿29歲。
Here's something else: He can dunk. Assuming this trade is finalized, the
Spurs will get their most athletic jumper playing in the rotation since David
Robinson was around.
還有些其他的:他能灌籃。假設交易完成,馬刺將會得到繼大羅之後運動能力最佳最會飛
的球員在陣中。
He's also a company man, and Gregg Popovich saw this firsthand in the 2004
Olympics. While Allen Iverson and others checked out, Jefferson kept
listening to Larry Brown and stuck to the plan. Knowing that he is coachable
and willing to play the Spurs' way is a huge reason for this trade.
他同時也是個團隊型球員,Pop在2004奧運時親自觀察得知。當AI及其他人check out(按
:不確定是指他們已經失控還是出去hang-out),RJ仍然聆聽著布朗爺並堅持於計畫。
Jefferson didn't shoot well in those Olympics, and that's part of his
profile, too. He shot almost 40 percent last season from the 3-point line,
but he's known as being inconsistent. Then again, Jefferson can't have
everything, and he doesn't. He's always been seen as solid, not elite,
without a clutch quality, and this cuts to his real flaw.
RJ在奧運時投籃並不好,而那也是他的特質之一。上一季他的三分命中率來到四成,但是
他被認為並不那麼穩定。再次說明,RJ沒辦法、也不會全部都很行。他總是被視為可靠、
並非頂尖、沒有關鍵時刻發揮的特質,而這點顯示出他真正的缺點。
His contract.
他的合約。
His talent does not match his salary, and that caused the Spurs to hesitate
last winter when considering a deal for him then. Jefferson will earn more
than Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili next season, for example, including about
$4 million more than Ginobili.
他的天分無法與他的薪資相稱,而這也是馬刺在去年冬天時猶豫是否交易他的原因。舉例
來說,RJ在下一季賺得將比Parker或Manu都來得多,比Manu多出了4M。
Ginobili will love hearing this as he waits for the Spurs to talk to him
about an extension.
Manu在等待馬刺與他談續約問題時將會樂於知道這點。
But Ginobili's money comes later. For now, this is about Peter Holt's. The
Spurs have had a tough time selling tickets in a down economy, yet they did
what a lot of NBA teams aren't doing. They are taking on salary.
Manu的錢先擱著。現在,要談的是Peter Holt的錢。馬刺在經濟蕭條的年代票房表現上並
不佳,但他們做了多數NBA球隊不會做的事。提高了團隊薪資。
The Spurs were willing to deal Luis Scola for financial reasons, but, even
then, Spurs officials insisted Holt never dictated their decision. They also
insisted Holt remained this way over the last winter, even in a struggling
economy.
馬刺曾為了財務因素交易掉Scola,但是馬刺官方堅持老闆從未干涉他們的決定。他們同
樣堅持老闆縱使在經濟不景氣的去年冬天仍然如此。
One story from last February: The Spurs talked about Vince Carter, who earns
even more than Jefferson, and they showed the numbers to Holt. And Holt
signed off.
去年二月的一個故事。當時馬刺談到了Carter,VC的薪資可是比RJ來得更高,並且將這數
字呈給Holt看。Holt簽核了。
That fits with another story now that the Spurs could have made this deal for
Jefferson two weeks ago, but held off while they waited to hear about Carter.
Holt trusted R.C. Buford to continue what he's done in this era, which is
weigh value and money.
這剛好可以搭配上另一個故事:馬刺本來可以在兩週前就交易來RJ,但是他們在等待
Carter方面的消息。Holt信任R.C. Buford持續他在這個世代所做的一切,那遠比金錢來
得更具價值。
In doing so, Buford maintained some versatility in the payroll. That's likely
why Holt, in a small market, would be the one willing to take advantage of
another team's desire to dump a salary.
Buford做的一切都讓薪資空間保持有一些彈性。這可能就是在小市場的Holt之所以會願意
在這個時候從設法清掉薪資的球隊那獲取好處的原因了。
Jefferson won't change the Spurs as Pau Gasol changed the Lakers. But the
same dynamics are in place.
RJ不會像Pau Gasol改變湖人般改變馬刺。但是將帶來同樣的動力。
___________
There's already speculation the Bucks will buy out Bruce Bowen's partially
guaranteed contract, and that Bowen will return to the Spurs. But there were
few signs last season that the Spurs still valued Bowen, and there are as few
reasons to think he will wear a Spurs uniform again.
已經有傳言公鹿將會買斷Bowen的合約,而後他將會回到馬刺。但是上一季只有少數跡象
顯示馬刺仍將重用Bowen,也只有同樣少數的理由認為他會重披馬刺球衣。
He should come back one more time, and I've said this before. The Spurs
should retire No. 12.
他得再回來一次,我之前就說過。馬刺應該要讓12號球衣退休。
The Spurs gave up three role players for Jefferson, and two of them were
largely out of the rotation. But there will be times the Spurs miss Kurt
Thomas next season. Buford will need to find a big body for the Shaq-Yao
nights.
馬刺用三個功能型球員換來RJ,其中兩個幾乎已經不在主要輪替陣容中。但是下一季馬刺
將會懷念KT的。Buford必須找些大個為姚-鯊夜做準備。
As for Fab Oberto: Rarely has a player contributed as he did during the 2007
championship run and been as overlooked. If Milwaukee buys him out, the Spurs
could use him.
至於Oberto:很少有球員像他般在2007奪取冠軍的旅途上貢獻良多卻又如此被忽略。如果
公鹿買斷他的合約,馬刺仍可以用他。
------
看來包叔不是回來就是退休了,但不管怎樣一定要退休球衣的!
Oberto如果買斷的話,那就低薪簽來當保險用吧。
