Hey, Brian: Brian Windhorst answers your Cavaliers questions by Brian Windhorst/Plain Dealer Reporter Saturday December 13, 2008, 11:55 PM Hey, Brian: Granted Zydrunas Ilgauskas is loyal, but based on his play, why wouldn't he decline his option for next year and sign a multi-year deal, particularly if he decides he wants to play longer? If he only picks up his option, is it an indication he might retire after next year or that he will take it year by year? -- David Jelkovac, Ridgefield, Conn. Hey, David: I asked Z about this on the first day of training camp and was surprised he instantly ruled it out. He does sound like he wants to play a few more years, but $11.5 million next season is a lot to leave on the table. He's made a lot of money, I don't think he's after the last dime. Q: 大Z明年会执行球员选择权跳出合约吗? A: 我在今年训练营的第一天就问过他这问题, 令人讶异的是他表示没这打算. 他还想再 打个几年, 但是放弃明年的11.5M有点可惜. 他已赚了很多钱, 我不认为现在对他钱是第 一考量. Hey, Brian: Do you think Mo Williams will break Mark Price's free-throw shooting team record? -- Dennis Stallworth, Cleveland. Hey, Dennis: Great question, it could be interesting to watch. Price set an extremely high standard, shooting .948 in 1992-93 and .947 in '91-'92. Williams' free throw consistency has been remarkable during his career, he's hit exactly 85 for the last four seasons. He's had a great start at 95 percent, but would have shoot well ahead of his career pace to get there. Q: Mo本季会打破Mark Price的队史罚球命中率纪录吗? A: 好问题, 这值得观察. Price在92-93年的命中率是0.948, 91-92年是0.947. Mo生涯的 罚球命中率相当稳定, 前四季都是0.85. 他目前0.95命中率是个好的开始, 但是之後还需 要远超过生涯水准的表现才能破纪录. Hey, Brian: When the Cavs have a back-to-back, say home and then away, do the players have to go straight from the game to the airport and then to the opposing city? Wouldn't it make more sense for the players to get a good night's sleep at home and then just travel the next morning? -- Jeff Smith, Parma Hey, Jeff: Most of the time the Cavs are in the air by 11:30 or midnight and to their next destination by 1-1:30 a.m., because the travel takes a shorter amount of time than for teams in the West. So they can usually get rest. The reason is an old NBA rule that requires teams to travel as soon as possible, which in the old days meant 6 a.m. commercial flights. Traveling at night is easier and shorter because there is much less traffic. Q: 在连续出战的情况下, 例如先主场後客场. 球员是在第一天比赛结束後马上搭飞机前 往客场吗? 在家睡个好觉第二天早上再出发不会比较合理吗? A: 通常骑士队会在晚上11:30到12:00搭飞机, 大约隔天凌晨1-1:30抵达, 因为飞行时间 比西区球队来的短. 所以他们有时间可以好好休息. 这也是因为NBA的一个老规定: 球队 要尽早抵达, 在当时来说是指早上6:00的飞机. 晚上出发也比较省时, 因为陆上交通较顺 畅. Hey, Brian: Do you have any feeling on the Cavs' ability to sign Andy Varejao to a new contract after this season? In your opinion, should the Cavs keep Andy this year and keep the team chemistry intact or trade him before the deadline? -- Jim Koewler, Richfield Hey, Jim: Right now I don't think the Cavs have a desire to trade Andy. However, I do not think it is 100 percent certain he will opt out. It's probable, but considering the state of the economy and how many teams are clearing cap space for 2010, it might not be a bad idea to be a free agent then. Q: 你觉得骑士下一季会和大V签新约吗? 你个人认为骑士今年应该留下大V维持球队目前 的良好化学效应还是趁约到期前把他交易掉? A: 我认为骑士目前没有交易大V的打算. 我也不认为大V明年一定会跳脱合约. 虽然那有 可能, 但是考虑到目前经济不景气, 还有多支球队在为10年清薪资空间. 待完明年再成为 自由球员也是个不坏的选择. --
