Pritchard's plan for Blazers is twofold Pritchard 给拓荒者的计划有两种选择 By kerry eggers The Portland Tribune, Jul 20, 2007 General Manager Kevin Pritchard’s master plan for the Trail Blazers unfolds two ways. GM - Kevin Pritchard 的为拓荒者准备的计画总共有两种不同的方式。 The first segment contains the now — what the young Blazers can accomplish during the 2007-08 season. 第一个就是把目标放在〝现在〞，期待这些年轻的拓荒者球员们在 07-08球季打出不错的成绩。 With Greg Oden, Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge as the nucleus, Pritchard sees challenging for a playoff spot as a reasonable goal, albeit one that might not happen in the very tough Western Conference. 以 Greg Oden, Brandon Roy 以及 LaMarcus Aldridge 当作球队核心， Pritchard 将挑战取得季後赛的门票视为一个合理的目标。 虽然这一项计画在强大的西方联盟是可能不会发生的。 The important part of the plan, though, might be the one that unfurls two years from now, when Portland’s payroll situation will be much different. 但此计画当中最重要的部分应该会是从现在开始的两年之後， 当拓荒者的薪资表已经大有不同的时候。 The terms of Pritchard’s recent free-agent signings of Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw — both two years, with a team option for a third season — were by design. Pritchard’s desire is to be in position to clear the books of as many contracts as possible after the 2008-09 season. 最近 Pritchard 签下了 Steve Blake 以及 Travis Outlow 两名自由球员 各两年的合约，第三年则是球队的选择权这计划是被设计好的。 Pritchard 对08-09球季之後，薪资表内许多合约数字的清除是他目前的期望。 Portland’s payroll for 2007-08 is about $74 million, a figure that will dip slightly when Steve Francis signs with another team. The Blazers bought out the remaining two years and $33.62 million of Francis’ contract for just under $30 million, but the club gets back half of what Francis signs for the next two seasons. 波特兰在07-08球季的薪资约为七千四百万，当Steve Francis 被其他球队签下来之後， 薪资大概会微幅的减少些。 拓荒者以30M的价格买断 Francis 剩余的两年 33.62M 的合约， 不过球团将会在下两个球季得到Francis 所签约下来的一半。 About half of the Blazers’ 2007-08 expenditure will go to three players — Francis, Raef LaFrentz ($11.8 million) and Darius Miles ($9 million). 在07-08年拓荒者的一半的开销将花在三名球员身上， Francis, Raef LaFrentz (11.8M) 还有 Darius Miles (9 M)。 The NBA salary cap next season is $55.63 million, with the luxury tax threshold at $67.865 million. Unless Pritchard reduces payroll through a trade — which is unlikely — owner Paul Allen will be forced to pay a luxury tax for the first time in three years. NBA薪资空间下一季是55.63M，而豪华税的门槛是67.865M。 除非Pritchard 透过不大可能的交易减少球队薪资，不然球队老板 Paul Allen 将会被迫付出在这三年中的第一次豪华税。 But in two years, many contracts disappear off the Portland ledger, including those of Francis, LaFrentz ($12.72 million in 2008-09), James Jones and, if the Blazers prefer, Blake, Outlaw, Martell Webster and Jarrett Jack. 不过在两年之後，许多合约将会从拓荒者的帐目表上消失。 包含 Francis, LaFrentz(08-09球季的12.72M), James Jones， 假如拓荒者愿意， Blake, Outlaw, Martell Webster, Jarrett Jack都有可能。 For the 2009-10 season, Pritchard could be left with Miles’ final season ($9 million) along with Joel Przybilla ($6.86 million), Aldridge ($5.84 million), Oden ($5.36 million), Roy ($3.91 million) and Sergio Rodriguez ($1.9 million), a cap figure under $33 million, not including new draft picks. 在09-10球季的时候，Pritchard 可能会和Miles 最後一季(9M)以及 Joel Przybilla(6.86M), Aldridge (5.84M), Oden(5.36M), Roy(3.91M) Sergio Rodriguez(1.9M)等人留下，此时薪资不包括新的选秀权将会只在33M底下了。 And — dreaming a little — if Miles were unable to perform this season after knee surgery and declared himself retired, his $9 million would come off Portland’s cap figure for 2009-10. Unlikely, but possible. 并且，让我们幻想一下，如果 Miles 在膝盖的手术之後无法表现 而宣布退休，那他9M的薪水也将会在09-10年的时候从波特兰的薪资空间中 删除。 是不大可能的，但是有机会。 Even so, the Blazers could find themselves with some $20 million to spend in a free-agent market the summer of 2009 that might include such names as Shawn Marion, Elton Brand, Carlos Boozer, Mehmut Okur, Kevin Martin, Andre Iguodola, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villanueva, Eddy Curry and Jamaal Crawford. 就算如此，拓荒者在09年的夏天会有两千万的薪资空间花在当年的自由球员 市场中。 Shawn Marion, Elton Brand, Carlos Boozer, Mehmut Okur, Kevin Martin, Andre Iguodala, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Andrew Bogut, Charlie Villanueva, Eddy Curry 以及 Jamaal Crawford 如此的球员来当作选项。 “If I can be patient,” Pritchard says, “we can be in a position to have some options.” Pritchard说：〝假如我够有耐性来等待的话，我可以处於有很多选择权的情形之下。〞 Roster may be all set 阵容可能已经全部告一段落 After closing out Outlaw’s three-year, $11.6-million deal, Pritchard finally may be done maneuvering the Portland roster for next season. The team has 15 guaranteed contracts, including those of second-round draft choices Josh McRoberts (two years, $1.1 million) and Taurean Green (one year, $427,000). 在Outlow的三年 11.6 M 合约之下， Pritchard 终於把下一季的阵容变动 大致底定了下来。 目前这支球队有十五个受保障的合约，包含那些第二轮的选秀－ Josh McRoberts(两年, 1.1M ) 以及 Taurean Green (一年, 427K) Guaranteed deals for second-round picks — especially those in the upper half — are becoming more common, and Pritchard and coach Nate McMillan felt comfortable assuring both McRoberts and Green a spot on the 15-man roster. 那些第二轮选秀权的保障合约，特别是那些前半段的，已经成为 越来越常见的情况。 Pritchard 还有教练 Nate McMillan 对 McRoberts 以及 Green 成为 十五人的阵容当中感到相当合宜。 “We’ve made a lot of moves the last two years, and now we have a lot of good pieces to the puzzle,” Pritchard says. “But it’s not like the players are going to blend and understand each other in the first month, or even the first year. If you look at most of the successful teams in our league, they’ ve kept their team intact for multiple years. Pritchard说 〝我们在过去两年已经完成很多球队的补强、变动，而目前我们已经有了许多 许多好的部份来完成这份大拼图。 不过在头一个月就要这些球员们马上融合并且了解彼此是不大可能的， 或者甚至是第一年。 假如你注意到联盟当中那些成功的球队， 他们保留他们绝大多数球员的阵容维持了好几年〞 “We’ve made our moves; now let’s see this team grow. We’re ready to put the guys on the floor and let them compete for their spots.” 〝目前我们已经完成了我们球队的补强移动； 现在我们就等着看这支球队渐渐的卓越成长。 我们已经准备好让这群家伙们在球场上以及让他们彼此为自己要打的位置竞争〞 That could mean Portland is stacked at certain positions — a problem in past seasons. 这可能意味着波特兰在各个位置上有了重叠的人才， 这也是过去几季的问题。 There are four point guards, three of them — Blake, Jack and Rodriguez — who need to play. 他们有四个控球後卫， 其中的三个是 Blake, Jack, 以及需要上场时间的 Rodriguez。 There are four power forwards — Aldridge, Frye, LaFrentz and McRoberts — and perhaps too few minutes behind Aldridge in the rotation. 有四个大前锋，Aldridge, Frye, LeFrentz 以及可能在调度上於Aldridge 身後打个几分钟的 McRoberts。 There are only two shooting guards — Roy and Webster, the latter a swingman who also will compete for minutes at small forward. 不过只有两个得分後卫， Roy 以及 Webster， 後者是一名也会在SF位置竞争上场时间的摇摆人。 Jack will stay put Jack 将会留下来 If a Jack-for-a-small-forward trade seems to make sense, Pritchard says it’s not going to happen. 假如 Jack 用来交易一个小前锋看起来是有其道理的， 但 Pritchard 说 那是将不会发生的事情。 “We feel great about Jarrett,” he says. “He’s a big part of what we’re doing. We have no interest in trading him. 〝对於 Jarrett而言，我们觉得非常好，他在我们目前所进行的事情当中 占了很大的部分。我们没有任何想要交易他的兴趣存在。〞 “We want good competition within all of our positions. The competition will be healthy to the growth of our team.” 〝我们想要看到在我们阵容各个位置上拥有良性竞争。 在这良性竞争之下，大家将会有不错的成长〞 What kind of offense will Portland run next season? Though the pieces are in place for an open-court attack, don’t count on it. McMillan is a half-court coach at heart, and though the Blazers were last in the NBA in fastbreak points last season, there probably won’t be a lot of change in philosophy. 而拓荒者下一个球季将会打怎样的进攻呢？ 虽然目前每一个角色看起来是打全场进攻的，但别打如此的算盘。 McMillan 是一名以半场进攻为主的教练，而且去年拓荒者是在全联盟当中 快攻得分最少的一支球队，所以在今年也非常可能的，在这方面不会有任何的改变。 “We want to be an inside team,” McMillan says. “We should be faster getting up and down the floor, but we still want to attack the basket. We won ’t become Phoenix, where we run and gun. You can’t do that unless you have that type of point guard (Steve Nash). McMillan 说：〝我们想要成为一个以禁区为主的球队。我们必须在 球场上的任何时刻成为更快的球队，不过我们依旧想要进攻篮框(以打内线方式)。 我们不会成为像凤凰城一样以跑轰为主的球队。 除非你有一个Steve Nash 种类的控球後卫，不然你是做不到的。〞 “For us, we’ll attack, whether it’s with LaMarcus, Greg or Brandon in the post, or Steve, Brandon, Sergio or Jarrett outside in the pick-and-roll situation.” 〝对我们而言，我们将会持续攻击，不管他是 LaMarcus, Greg 还是 Brandon 在打低位，或者是Steve, Brandon, Sergio, Jarrett 在外围进行挡拆的状况〞 Notes Before Portland made the trade that sent Zach Randolph, Dan Dickau and Freddy Jones to New York in exchange for Frye, Francis, a trade exception that allowed Portland to obtain James Jones and the draft rights to Rudy Fernandez, New Jersey was considering a deal for Randolph that would have sent small forward Richard Jefferson to the Blazers. 後记： 在波特兰完成了将 Zach Randolph, Dan Dickau, 以及 Freddy Jones 送往纽约获得 Frye, 以及 Francis 之中，一个 Trade Exception 让波特兰可以获得 James Jones 以及Rudy Fernandez的选秀权。 纽泽西曾考虑过一个用RJ换来 Randolph的交易。 [email protected] http://0rz.tw/112Q8 --
