Price: No, the Blazers aren't looking to trade Shareef. I think they want to keep their options open, especially with Zach coming up on free agency at the end of this season. 致普莱斯：不，拓荒者眼下并不急着交易掉 Shareef。我认为他们想要保有 主动的选择权，特别是当 Zach 在这个球季结束後会变成自由球员。 Right now, if the Blazers wanted to trade Zach and keep Shareef, they would only be able to trade Zach at the value of his current contract, which is well below his market value. If they wait until next summer, they can work a sign-and-trade deal, where they sign him for what he's worth and trade for a player of similar value. Or they could sign him and keep him, and then go ahead and trade Shareef, or do work the same sign-and-trade scenario with him. 以目前来说，如果拓荒者打算交易掉 Zach 并留下 Shareef，他们将只能以 Zach 现有合约价值来作为交易基准，而合约的面值可是大大地低於他的市 场价值。若拓荒者等到明年夏天将可以来个先签後换的交易，( 译：是一个 球员换三个首轮选秀权的交易吗？) ，也许是以合理的价码续签他之後交易 回价值相等的球员。或者是续签他并且留下他然後交易掉 Shareef，甚至是 采取相同的先签後换方案来处理 Shareef的事情。 Shareef has been one of Portland's best players during the exhibition season, and I'm guessing that he will start at small forward and that Darius will come off the bench. That is the way Cheeks has been working them so far, and I suspect he will continue to use them that way. Some people have suggested that maybe Shareef should start at power forward and Darius start at small forward with Zach coming off the bench, but that's never going to happen. Zach will always be the starting power forward. Shareef 可是波特兰在热身赛里表现最好的球员之一，而据我在猜他将会是 先发小前锋的人选， Darius 则会从替补席出发。这也是到目前为止Cheeks 在调度上所做的改变，我猜想他会继续采用这样的调度方式。有些人曾建议 也许 Shareef应该打先发大前锋而让 Darius 扛先发小前锋，把 Zach 放在 替补席上，但这是不可能发生的事。 Zach 将会是先发大前锋的不动人选。 So, your starters will be Randolph, Abdur-Rahim, Ratliff, Anderson and Stoudamire. The primary reserves are Miles, Pryzbilla, Frahm and Van Exel, and then Patterson, Outlaw and Telfair will be used as needed. Stepania probably will start the season on the injured list, and I think the Blazers will have to put Khryapa on the injured list, too. That's 14 players. 所以拓荒者的先发五人将会是Randolph、Abdur-Rahim、Ratliff、Anderson 和Stoudamire。主力替补球员则是 Miles、Pryzbilla、Frahm以及大眼外星 人，若是有需要的时候也会看到 Patterson、Outlaw和高中生控卫上场亮相 一下。Stepania最可能在开季时成为伤兵名单的先发，而我在想拓荒者也会 把俄罗斯小子 Khryapa放在伤兵名单陪Stepania作伴。这样就有十四个球员 了。 My guess is that the team will leave Woods on the suspended list and that eventually he will be waived. I'm also guessing that the Blazers will cut Geno Carlisle before the start of the regular season, although they might have room for him if they cut Woods before next Wednesday. 我的猜测是球队会把 Woods放在留校察看的名单当中而最终他会被挥弃掉。 我也猜拓荒者会在例行赛开始之前跟 Geno Carlisle说珍重再见，就算是球 队在下星期三以前先把 Woods踢出球队而还有留下他的空间。 The Blazers are improved, but I don't know if they have kept pace with some of the teams around them, such as Denver, Phoenix, Houston and Utah. Those teams look better, too. I think Minnesota, San Antonio, Sacramento are locks to make the playoffs, followed by Dallas, Denver, Houston and the Lakers. I could be wrong about the Lakers, who may have fallen more than I suspect after losing Shaq, but my guess is that there are four teams -- Balzers, Grizzlies, Jazz and Suns -- that will be in a close battle for that last spot. I'm not giving Seattle, Golden State or the LA Clippers little chance of reaching the playoffs. 拓荒者和上一季相较确实是有进步，但我不晓得他们进步的幅度是否跟上了 同在西区的一些球队，像是丹佛、凤凰城、休士顿和犹他。这些球队看起来 也比上一季更好。我认为明尼苏达、圣安东尼奥、沙加缅度已经锁定季後赛 的席位，紧跟在後的还有达拉斯、丹佛、休士顿和湖人。我对於湖人的预测 是有可能会出错，失去了 Shaq 後的湖人可能顺位跌得比我所想得更低，但 我猜想有四支球队--拓荒者、灰熊、爵士和太阳--在竞逐季後赛的最後一席 上将会有一番激烈的近身战。我不认为西雅图、金州或是洛杉矶快艇有一丝 机会进入季後赛。 Anyway, thanks for the message. Talk to you again soon, I'm sure. 总之，谢谢你的来信。我相信很快就有机会跟你再聊聊。 Cheers, 展信愉快， Jim 吉姆敬上。 --
