Hawks keeping free agent pursuit under wraps By SEKOU SMITH The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 07/06/05 Nearly every free agent rumor floated in the past six months has included the Hawks in some form or fashion. 过去六个月以来，几乎每一个FA的谣言都与Hawks有关。 With an estimated $24 million in salary cap space and a plethora of needs up and down the roster, Hawks general manager Billy Knight expected as much. Hawks大约有24M的薪资空间，而除了SF这个点被塞爆之外，他们每个位置都缺人。 But even he couldn't have been ready for the deluge of misinformation that has spread like brush fire since the NBA's free agent negotiating period began at midnight on July 1. Knight虽然非常需要找寻FA加盟Hawks，但是连他也无法在7月1号FA开市之前，准备好与 FA去谈判--错误的资讯实在太多了。 No contracts can be signed before July 23, but recruiting pitches and conversations are ongoing. And the rumors — from the feasible to the completely ridiculous — continue to circulate. 球队与FA的合约必须要到7月23号才能签订，但是各队早已展开争取FA的谈判。而谣言则 是满天飞。 "That's the way it goes," Knight said Tuesday. "Every team that has cap space is being mentioned with [free agents], even when they aren't talking to those guys. And guys are being mentioned with those teams, too, when they shouldn't be. It's not just us." Knight：「FA市场就是这样。每个有薪资空间的队伍一定会被拿来与FA做联想--即使你 根本没跟他们接触过；而每个FA也一定会被连结到那些球队--即使他们根本就不适合那 些球队。」 The Hawks have been active since 12:01 on July 1, when Knight says he made initial contact with the players the Hawks are most interested in. Knight declined to name names, choosing instead to pursue his targets without a spotlight, no matter how much agents and others want to press the issue in public. 当Knight表示他已经与几位Hawks最有兴趣的球员展开接触之时，Hawks从7月1号的12:01 分那一刻开始就非常的积极。Knight最爱做的事就是吊我们的胃口，他选择在暗处行事 ，不论那些经纪人或其他人有多麽希望将消息公开，他就是不愿意讲明。 "You sort of have to do the dance a little bit," Knight said. "So you're using your intuition and feel, trusting your relationships with agents or whoever. You're operating the best way you can. Knight：「你多少必须随别人起舞，所以你必须用你的直觉与你对球员的感觉，相信你 与经纪人或不论是谁之间的关系。你必须以最好的方式去操作。」 "We've talked to the people I want to talk to, and we've stated our intentions clearly and communicated our intentions. But I don't like my conversations being made public. My philosophy is you talk to the guy you want to get, come to an agreement or you don't, and then you move on. There is really no gray area. Knight又说：「我们已经与那些我想谈的球员谈过，我们已经将我们的意图清楚表达， 且就此展开谈判。但我很害羞，不喜欢公开。我的哲学是，你与你想得到的球员展开谈 判，看是否可以达成协议，然後你继续行动。我不喜欢搞暧昧。」 "We've had some good conversations with people. We won't know until the signing period begins if we'll get them signed or not, and there will still be a waiting period on some guys because they're restricted free agents. But the players we are really interested in, we made it very clear to them. We've stated our intentions very clearly." Knight：「我们已经与一些人有过良好的谈话，在签约日之前，我们不需要知道我们是 否能够得到他们；还有一些人因为是RFA，所以需要时间等待。但那些球员（Joe？）我 们非常喜欢，且我们已经跟他们把话讲明了。（是啊,五年70M...）」 With a quality center a top priority, the Hawks have been mentioned as an interested party for Cleveland All-Star center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, whose agent, Herb Rudoy, once represented Knight. Hawks被认为对Cavs的All-Star大Z有兴趣，他的经纪人Herb Rudoy曾经代表过Knight。 "There's a good number of teams we're talking to about a sign and trade, and there are a couple of teams under the cap that are talking to me," Rudoy told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We're also talking to [Cavs GM] Danny [Ferry] about Z returning. Z's thinking about [remaining with the Cavs]. He'd like to stay." Rodoy向Cavs的Plain Dealer表示：「有很多球队与我洽谈S&G的事宜，也有两支薪资有空 间的球队正与我谈判。我们也正在与Cavs的GM Danny Ferry谈判有关於大Z回到Cavs的可 能，大Z郑在考虑要待在Cavs，他想要留下。」 Another intriguing rumor has a trade between the Hawks and Bulls, with Hawks power forward Al Harrington and Bulls center Eddy Curry as the principals. But like most everything else being bandied about, neither Hawks nor Bulls officials have verified such a deal has even been discussed. 另一个谣言是Bulls与Hawks的交易传闻--原则上是Al Harrington for Eddy Curry。但 如同大多数的谣言，Bulls与Hawks都没有证实有这回事。 Seattle shooting guard Ray Allen can also be crossed off the Hawks' wish list. He agreed terms with the Sonics on Tuesday, according to his agent Lon Babby. Ray Gun已经从Hawks的名单上消失--他在星期二宣布同意与Seattle续约。 That leaves Suns rising star Joe Johnson, Bucks sharpshooter Michael Redd and versatile Wizards star Larry Hughes as the top free-agent guards available. And since Johnson is a restricted free agent and Redd is rumored to be the top priority for Cleveland as well as the Bucks, who've already offered him a max deal between $80-90 million for six years, the Hawks' attention in Hughes could intensify. 现在Hawks能够追求的有Sums的Rising Star--Joe Johnson；Bucks神射Michael Redd （没了）；Wizards的多功能球员Larry Hughes（投奔cavs了）。 (下略) -- 对於Hawks追求Joe Johnson的一点感想：没错Hawks没有一个真正的2号球员--Childress 的外线能力还不够好；Stoudamire又太矮，可是Joe如果在Hawks打2号，势必将3号位置 挤爆，光是Smith或Williams去打4号都已经让人有点难接受，何况现在有3个球员位置重 叠？ 如果选择Joe是看中他的控球能力，真的是很让人Orz...Knight很令人疑惑的一点，就是 老爱选能够打多个位置--versatile的球员，使得球队缺乏真正的功能性球员。Diaw够全 能了吧，当初Diaw的优点就是打小前锋的位置又拥有不错的控球能力，可这不是叫你把 Diaw拿来当PG用啊...我不要看到一整队都是身高6-8的球队... 资料来源 http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/hawks/0705/06hawk.html --
