※ 引述《JoshSmith (灌篮王)》之铭言： Hawks finally get the point Claxton in, Harrington apparently out By SEKOU SMITH The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 07/04/06 Al Harrington's tenure with the Atlanta Hawks is apparently over, and Speedy Claxton's is set to begin. Al Harrington 待在老鹰的机会似乎已经不高了 , 不过 Speedy Claxton 准备在 亚特兰大大展长才 . While Harrington and the Hawks are in the midst of parting ways — a sign-and-trade deal could be consummated any day — Claxton joins the fold to end the Hawks' nearly two-season search for a point guard. 当 Harrington 正要准备走在离开老鹰队的路上(sign and trade) , Claxton 则从 这条路的另一端走进老鹰的怀抱当中 , 而这也是老鹰两年搜索下来的第一个控球後卫. Claxton verbally agreed on Monday afternoon to sign with the Hawks, his agent, Bill Duffy, said. The contract, a reported four-year deal worth an estimated $25 million, can't be signed until July 12, the first day offseason transactions can be made official. Claxton 在礼拜一的时候同意跟老鹰签约 , 合约内容大约维四年两千五百万 , 但必须等到正式签约日期 7/12 才可发布合约消息. Hawks general manager Billy Knight could not be reached to comment on Harrington, and per league rules cannot comment on Claxton until July 12. Billy Knight 也不能跟 Harrington 作出任何合约的动作 "I think it's a good fit," Duffy said. "Speedy likes the fact you have a bunch of young legs and they need leadership. This is a team that's definitely on the rise." "我想这对双方来说都是很适合的" Duffy 说 ,"Speedy 喜欢队上有着这一群年轻小将 , 而他们刚好需要一个领导者 , 这支球队肯定会有所进步 " The Hawks offered Clippers free agent point guard Sam Cassell a two-year deal worth a reported $7.5 million per season, an offer the Clippers matched to keep him. 老鹰提供给 Cassell 两年 1500 万的合约 , 而快艇则以相同的价码将它买回. Atlanta turned its attention to Claxton and locked up the 28-year-old, five-year veteran with a deal that will pay him about $6.2 million per season. 所以因此老鹰将目标转移到 28 岁的 Claxton 身上 , 而他将获得平均每年 620 万的 合约. Claxton's addition solves a glaring deficiency for the Hawks, who used inexperienced players (Royal Ivey) or others, namely leading scorer Joe Johnson, out of position to get by at point guard. Claxton 的加入解决了老鹰最严重的问题 , 上一季 , 老鹰用了没经验的 Ivey 跟 摇摆人 Joe Johnson 撑完了一整季的先发控球 . Claxton averaged 12.3 points, 4.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds this past season in New Orleans playing behind and often alongside NBA Rookie of the Year Chris Paul. Claxton will be the starter for the Hawks, allowing Johnson to slide over to shooting guard on a full-time basis. Claxton 上季在黄蜂一哥 Chris Paul 的背後缴出平均12.3分 4.8助攻 2.7篮板的 成绩单 , 相信 Claxton 会成为老鹰下一季的主力先发 , 让 Joe Johnson 可以回到 最舒服的得分後卫位置 With Claxton and veteran backup Tyronn Lue, the Hawks have floor leaders with championship experience. Claxton played on San Antonio's 2003 NBA championship team, and Lue won two titles with the Lakers at the start of the decade. Ivey will enter training camp as the third point guard on the roster. 有了 Claxton 跟第一号替补 Lue , 老鹰有了两名拥有冠军经验的控球後卫 (这也算 XD), Claxton 2003 年时和马刺获得了总冠军 , Lue 则是和湖人在 2000 年时得到了冠军的 头衔. Ivey 将投入 training camp 并且作为队上的第三号控球後卫. It's a roster that will be without Harrington for the first time in two years. The Hawks' second-leading scorer and rebounder this past season, Harrington served as a team captain in each of his two seasons with the franchise. 而这将是两年来老鹰第一次在 roster 上没有 Harrington 的名字 . 他是这两年来老鹰的得分和篮板主力 , 同时他也是过去两季的队长. But Harrington said the Hawks have made it clear to him that they're going in a different direction, particularly with younger players a lready on the roster. Josh Smith's emergence after the February All-Star break may have had more than anything to do with the Hawks' decision to move on without Harrington. 但是 Harrington 说老鹰的作为已经摆明了跟他说明球队未来的动向 , 特别以年轻球 员为主轴. Josh Smith 从灌篮大赛後浮现台面 , 而他也是老鹰可能交易掉 Harrington 的重要原因. "As of right now it's pretty clear to me that I won't be back in a Hawks uniform next year," Harrington said by phone Monday afternoon from his offseason home in Los Angeles. "It's pretty much a wrap for me there." "所以很明显的 , 下一季我将不会继续穿着老鹰队的队服 , 这对我来说有点不是滋味" Harrington说. The Hawks have been in discussions with several teams, most prominently Indiana and Golden State, about a potential sign-and-trade deal involving Harrington, an eight-year veteran who is only 26 and one of the top 30 scorers (18.6 points per game) in the league. 老鹰已经跟许多队伍展开了讨论 , 而最主要的对象则为溜马跟勇士 , 他们将酝酿一笔 先签後换的交易将 Harrington 卷入其中. Harrington 这名八年经验的球员 , 仅仅 26 岁 , 他是联盟中前 30 名的得分好手 . "I have a genuine interest in both of those teams," he said. "My only focus is getting back to the playoffs and eventually competing for a championship. I thought we were getting better and heading in that direction [in Atlanta], but sometimes it's time to move on." The Hawks could continue upgrading their roster with more big men and possibly another young point guard by consummating a deal with either the Pacers or Warriors. "我对这两支球队都非常有兴趣"他说 ,"不过我着重在重返季後赛这个环节 , 并且有能 力挑战总冠军的实力 , 我想我们(老鹰队)会越来越进步并且朝着目标迈进 , 但有时候 这刚好就是你必须离开的时候 ." 老鹰可能可以透过和溜马或勇士的交易再度升级他们的禁区跟後卫 . 资料来源： http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/hawks/stories/0704hawksdeal.html --
