On the day Ron Artest questioned his decision to stay with the Kings, Beno
Udrih had no such internal conflict.
当阿泰对於他做出留在国王的决定感到疑问时,beno就没有这样的天人交战。
"I know I'm not going to have any regrets," Udrih said by phone from New York
City.
Nor should he.
"我知道我不会有任何的後悔" beno在电话中这麽说(揪甘心,这几年国王就交给你了)
The fifth-year player, who was a career backup until last season, agreed to a
five-year deal with the Kings on Tuesday, filling the void at point guard for
a team so badly in need while landing the sort of contract few would have
foreseen eight months ago. Two sources close to the team said Udrih - who was
traded from San Antonio to Minnesota last in October and waived before the
Kings signed him Nov. 1 - was given the Kings' entire midlevel exception and
will earn approximately $32 million over the five seasons. He cannot
officially sign the deal until July 9 because of the league's moratorium
period.
在联盟中已是第五年,之前都是替补命,直到去年才有所不同,礼拜二时同意了和国王
的五年合约,填补球队在PG的洞。有人谈到BENO-去年十月被马刺送到明尼苏达,之後
被waive,国王签了他。国王提供他5年全中产,大约是32m。因为联盟这时候休
息,所以必须到9号才能正式签约。
In his first three seasons in San Antonio, Udrih went from a highly regarded
rookie to Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's doghouse. But his circumstances
eventually turned, from his emergency signing by the Kings after a thumb
injury to Mike Bibby to the season in which few doubted Udrih's ability to be
a full-time starter.
他在马刺的前三个球季,beno是个非常被重视的新秀。但情势转变了,当国王因为BB的
大拇指受伤了签他之後,出现了质疑beno是否有当先发能力的声音。
The Los Angeles Clippers had no doubts. They were believed to be the most
likely team to challenge the Kings in the Udrih sweepstakes. He met with
Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy in New York City on Monday night and received an
offer identical to one the Kings already had put forth. Udrih said New York,
Miami and Cleveland also showed interest, but only the Clippers and Kings
offered a five-year deal.
快艇最懂他的好。被认为是最可以挑战国王签下beno的球队。礼拜一他和老邓见面,
快艇也提出了和国王一样的价码。beno说尼克,热火和骑士也对他有兴趣,但只有快艇
和国王提供五年合约。
"I met with Dunleavy and he made a good impression on me," Udrih said.
"我和老邓见面,对他有很好的印象"beno如是说。
"But I talked to (the Kings) early (Tuesday) morning, like 10 o'clock
(Pacific time) and then I talked to them and to my family and my close
friends who have been around the league. Every minute I was leaning to
Sacramento."
"但我稍早和国王谈过,10点吧!之後我告诉他们,还有我的家人和密友。无时无刻我
都是心系Sacramento"(如果这样还不签下他就太没人性了 〒△〒)
Yet Udrih's call to Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie left his future
uncertain enough that the Kings moved down their wish list of point guards in
anticipation of Udrih declining. Kevin Bradbury, the agent for free-agent
guard Chris Duhon, said the Kings called about Duhon just hours before Udrih
called back with his final decision.
beno还没有打电话给Petrie确定他的去留前,国王持续在找如果beno不在时PG的人选。
Duhon的经纪人说国王在beno打电话确定要留下的前一小时才跟Duhon通话过。
Meanwhile, it's unclear exactly what part Baron Davis played. The veteran
point guard surprisingly opted out of his final season ($17.8 million) with
Golden State and reportedly will join the Clippers for a five-year deal worth
$65 million. Udrih's agent, Marc Cornstein, said the Clippers' offer still
was available to Udrih when he opted for Sacramento.
大胡子已经和快艇签了。beno的纪经人说快艇仍然希望可以签下beno。
While Udrih answered many of the questions surrounding his game last season,
the question of durability again was raised when he missed 10 games near the
end of the season with a back strain. Still, Petrie said Udrih showed plenty
to warrant the deal. In the 51 games Udrih started, he averaged 14.4 points
on 47.4 percent shooting (40.4 from three-point range) and five assists.
当beno回答许多关於上个赛季的问题时,持久度又开始被提起,他因为背部扭伤而缺阵
了最後十场。Petrie仍然说beno展现出值这个约。在beno先发的51场比赛中,平均14.4
分,47.4%的投篮命中率(40.4%的三分球命中率)和5助攻。
"He's just turning 26," Petrie said. "This is his first year of being a
full-time starter. ... I think his best basketball is still in front of him."
"他才刚要26岁"Petrie很有道理的说"这是他当全职先发的第一年,我想他仍然有很好的
前途"
In light of Artest's decision to not opt out of his contract and Udrih's
expected signing, the Kings' payroll is approximately $70 million and nearing
the expected luxury tax threshold of $72 million. While the Kings still have
the biannual exception (approximately $1.8 million) available, Petrie said
any more "outright (free-agent) signings" are unlikely.
在阿泰决定不opt out还有beno要签约之後,国王的薪资来到70m左右,很接近要缴豪华税
的门槛。虽然国王还有biannual exception(大约1.8m),Petrie说不太可能再签下FA了。
Asked if the Udrih signing jeopardized the grand plan of clearing significant
salary cap space the next two summers, Petrie said he, too, is without regret.
当被问到签下beno是否会破坏了下两季清空庞大薪资的计划时,Petrie说,"我不後悔"
(真是铁铮铮的汉子)
"You're trying to accomplish two things at once to a certain extent: Continue
to keep value on the roster and still give yourself an opportunity down the
road (to clear space)," he said. "I feel comfortable that, to this point,
we're still in good shape there."
"同一时间要完成两个任务,让球队保有竞争力却仍然有机会清空薪间,我感到很爽,对
於这一点,我们仍然保持地很好"
