原文: http://goo.gl/zptSb 作者: Ben Maller, http://www.thepostgame.com Jeremy Lin's sleeping on his brother's sofa doesn't sound nearly as bad after hearing about one veteran player's housing nightmare. Delonte West is quite possibly the first active NBA player to be without a home during a season. The Mavericks guard tells the Dallas Morning News that after arriving in the Lone Star State he couldn't find a place to stay, so he spent nights sleeping in the Mavs locker room and even in his car. 大家都知道林书豪的神奇沙发的事蹟了吧, 对於一个刚与球队签下十天短约的球员来说 这种日子实在不好过. 可是在NBA里也有已经签下正式合约的球员连沙发都没得睡.... Delonte West, 很可能是NBA史上第一位有正式合约却无家可归的球员. West向当地媒体透露, 与小牛队签约之後在达拉斯一直没地方住, 只能睡球馆或车上. Let us explain. West suffers from bipolar disorder, which causes extreme mood swings. In 2009, he was pulled over near his Maryland home on a three-wheeled Cam-Am Spyder motorcycle, and police found a 9mm Beretta pistol, .357 Magnum and a Remington 870 in a guitar case. West pleaded guilty to weapons and traffic charges, but was able to avoid jail; instead he got electronic monitoring and supervised probation and counseling. Additionally, West was dealing with the end of his four-month marriage. He feels his mental disorder is at least partially responsible for both his personal and legal problems. "I've watched contracts go out the window, endorsements disappear, court fees, lawyer fees, divorce fees," he told the Morning News. "You watch the saving account just shoop ... shoop ... shoop ... shoop -- slowly disappear." West有躁郁症, 极端的情绪变化让他吃足苦头. 在2009年他携带大量枪械, 骑机车从 家里出发後被警方查获. West因非法携械而被定罪, 虽然不用入狱但必须配戴 电子监控器材并接受心理谘商. 之後West更因此面临离婚官司, 经济状况十分拮据... Despite making more than $14 million in a career that began in 2004, West has lost just about everything. During the NBA's labor dispute, he took a job at a Maryland furniture store. West had to sell vehicles, jewelry and "just about everything I own, except for my house and the clothes on my back," he told the Dallas Morning News. 尽管生涯已经赚进超过1400万美金, West现在却几乎身无分文, 在封馆期间还必须到 大卖场工作维生. After joining the Mavericks, the team gave him a hotel room during a very brief training camp. However, once the regular season got started, NBA salary cap rules blocked the team from providing housing for West. He said he tried to rent apartments around North Texas but failed, because they were either too expensive or he wasn't allowed because of his legal troubles. So West would get a hotel room when the Mavericks were on the road, but when they came back to Dallas late after road trips, he had no place to stay. So rather than getting a hotel room for just a few hours, he would sleep in the American Airlines Center locker room area or park his truck in the arena players garage and rest. 在与小牛队签约以後, 球队季前训练时还可以提供West饭店房间, 但在球季开始以後 因为劳资协议的关系球队无法继续提供宿舍. West曾经尝试在达拉斯当地租屋, 但昂贵的租金和本身的前科却令他四处碰壁. 当球队打客场的时候West还可以跟大家一起住饭店, 但是回到达拉斯他却只能睡球场 或是他的货车. West told the Morning News his outrageous living situation didn't last long after his boss found out about it. "Soon as Mr. Cuban heard about that, he made one phone call and everybody was lining up to rent me an apartment," West laughed. "They were calling back saying, 'Hey, we've got the penthouse suite for you.'" 当球队老板Mark Cuban知道West的窘境以後, 他打了一通电话帮了West一个忙. "现在大家都排队要把房子租给我了!" West笑着说. The Mavericks are paying West $854,389 this season, while three therapists help him deal with his bipolar disorder. 除了本季的85万美金以外, 现在球队还请了三个治疗师来帮助West度过难关. 心得: 好老板, 不推吗XD -- _ _____ __ _ _ __ ___ ___ _ __ / |___ | / _` | '__/ _ \/ _ \ '_ \ | | / / |(_| | | | __/ __/ | | | | | / / \__, |_| \___|\___|_| |_| |_|/_/ |___/ --
