Thank You Big Game James (& Please Stay) Written by Jeff 19 June 2008 http://0rz.tw/554s7 ※本文的写作点尚在Posey签约情况不明朗前，所以标题上有个「Please Stay」(笑)， 不过当时还真没想到会留不住Posey呢......囧 ------------------------------------------------- I had a rough order in which I wanted to do these Thank You's but considering the fact that James Posey is opting out of his contract, I thought it might be a good idea to get his thanks in quick. Who knows? Maybe a little blog love would convince him to stay! 我写这个「感谢系列」其实是有顺序的，但是Posey跳出合约後我决定先写他的，也许这也 能成为他留下来的理由之一呢！ Thank you Big Game James! You brought a Championship swagger to this team. You were one of Tom Thibodeau's star pupils on defense. You got under the skin of opponents as the classic "guy I'm glad is on our side." And you had a tremendous knack for hitting dagger three pointers that either killed a run by the other team or started one for us. 谢谢你Big Game James!你帮助这支球队夺冠。你是Tom Thibodeau防守体系中的明星球员。 是那种对手总是希望能和你一队的球员。你对於周边的判断相当准确，可以自己投3分球， 同时还能让对手投不进。 It is impossible to say how many games would have swung in the other direction if we replaced James Posey with an average reserve swingman, but I'm sure it would be more than a handful. Will he be back? The team wants him but it is no sure thing. 球队的替补摇摆人如果不是你而是别人，很难说我们会多输掉多少比赛，但是我肯定那不是 两只手数的完。 他会回来吗？球队当然需要他，但不确定他是否回来。 The key reserve is expected to exercise his option and forego the $ 3,462,480 he can take for next season. And the list of suitors should be lengthy. (How badly do the Lakers need a guy like this?) The Celts are hoping they can bring him back with a deal that not only takes care of Posey but allows the club the ability to make other needed moves. 他已经行使了他的选择权放弃下个赛季$ 3,462,480的收入。不过追逐他的球队很多（湖人 不是很迫切的需要他这样的球员吗？） 但是球队希望不但能把他留住，还能留住一些球队其他位置需要小修补的空间。 (↑注：结果这句话成为最後我们没能留下Posey的主因，我们不能为了留下Posey以致球队 全无退路。) And there's the rub. I could not and would not blame him one bit for taking whatever deal was set before him with the most zeros and years on it. With that said, if the Celtics throw big truckloads of cash at him (perhaps matching another team's offer), then the team might be handcuffed in terms of other moves. If we want to reload for another title and keep an eye on the future, a little bit of cap flexibility would be nice to have. 这就是矛盾所在，我并不是责备Posey，他当然不能不在意合约金额和年限，而看到是塞尔 提克提出的就签，但是如果塞尔提克在他身上花了太多钱（跟进其他球队的合约），那麽其 他位置的修补就没了空间。如果我们想卫冕，并且考虑球队的长期规划，那麽我们还是需要 一点点薪资灵活性。 Can they work something out? Paul Pierce seems pretty confident. 那麽双方能够达成一致吗？PP似乎很自信。 “I think he likes us,” Pierce said with a smile. “I think he’ll want to stick around another year.” 「我想他喜欢我们，我认为他希望下个赛季继续和我们这帮人一起打球。」PP笑着说道。 (↑注：Posey的确喜欢波士顿呀！只是更喜欢money~money~money~~~囧 只是在商言商，这 点倒是无须怨叹。) If there's one thing I've learned this year, it is never to doubt The Truth. 而如果说我今年学到了什麽，那就是不要怀疑真理。 (↑注：真是太抱歉了，金钱无敌，球场上才有真理......PP你当时也太乐观了 囧) # ----------------------------------------------- --
