原文网址:http://0rz.tw/4e2Qt With NBA free agency beginning today, Isiah Thomas still has tuneup work to do on his overloaded Knicks roster following Thursday's feast. 球队人太多了。 After acquiring five players on draft night, including power forward Zach Randolph, Thomas has 17 bodies, with lots of options and motivation to shuffle some pieces. 老汤手上有17张牌。 "Any chance we have to upgrade our roster and make it of championship quality, that's what we intend to do," Thomas said. "My goal is to put together a championship team and to coach in a championship game." 不放弃任何昇级球员的机会。目标直指总冠军!!!! Thomas' acquisition of Randolph is expected to be his major offseason catch. Though Thomas will contact Rashard Lewis' reps today, the Knicks no longer consider the Seattle guard a major free-agent priority. 换来软豆腐是老汤一大收获，尼克不把重心放在签下刘易士。 Thomas has told confidants that guards Dan Dickau and Fred Jones, acquired from Portland along with Randolph in exchange for Channing Frye and Steve Francis, have not been ruled out for the final 15-man roster. They will attend tomorrow's press conference with Randolph and draftees Wilson Chandler of DePaul and Syracuse second-rounder Demetris Nichols, whom the Knicks obtained in a midnight trade with the Blazers. 最後十五人名单还没确定。 Jones, an athletic guard, played 63 games for Portland last season, averaging 20.9 minutes and 6.5 points. Thomas encouraged Pacers GM Donnie Walsh to draft Jones in 2002 with the 14th pick. Thomas will still shop Jones' and Dickau's expiring contracts, totaling nearly $6 million, all summer. 老汤持续兜售灌篮王和Dickau。两人加起来有6M。 Acquiring Lewis is no longer realistic because the Knicks will not add David Lee to a sign-and-trade package. An offer of Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson, Renaldo Blakman probably won't do it. Orlando and Miami are top candidates if Lewis doesn't re-sign with Seattle. 刘易士应该不会加入尼克。老汤不想把大卫李打包送走。魔术和热火是最有可能签下他的 球队，如果他琵琶别抱的话。 Big-ticket items Gerald Wallace and Vince Carter always have intrigued Thomas, but the Bobcats and Nets, respectively, are expected to re-sign each. The Knicks will not offer Carter more than a 2-3 year deal because of his age (30), and the Nets have offered four years. G蛙和VC是另外两条大鱼，但他们都有可能跟母队续约。尼克不想当傻子，开出一份超过 三年的合约给VC，但我们的邻居给了他四年约。 Thomas has said he won't use his $5 million mid-level exception to sign a free agent. Instead, he wants to execute a sign-and-trade where he can package a 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 trade to reduce his roster size. 老汤不想动用他的中产阶级条款，先签後换是他的好选择。可能是二换一或三换一。 The Knicks still could use a big man with defensive attributes, such as free agent P.J. Brown. They also can use an established 3-point shooter, such as Miami guard Jason Kapono. But in Nichols, the Knicks got a player whom they feel can come off screens and hit perimeter bombs. 我们对P.J可能有兴趣，或是热火的三分射手Kapono。但阵中已经选了Nichols。 Nichols will sign a non-guaranteed contract and could beat out Robinson or Dickau at training camp. Nichols相信他能在训练营时，击败小跳豆或是Dickau。 Though the Knicks could field five starters capable of scoring 30 points in a game, defense is a big concern, especially with a frontline of Eddy Curry and Randolph, who are not intimidators or shot-blockers. 防守是个大漏洞，尤其现在有了最肥的禁区组合。 However, Thomas said he's not concerned with interior defense. 老汤视而不见。 "We do a good job of defending the paint," Thomas said. "We were not as good defending the 3-point line. We will be better at that. I take the blame." 阻止外线投射是我们现在要加强的。 * Thousands of fans descended on 25th Street in Coney Island for Stephon Marbury's giveaway party. With a state trooper as escort, two 18-wheelers carrying 75,000 free Starbury items arrived. Marbury got out of an SUV, began dancing in the streets with a few of his friends, and said, "Isiah got us help. Zach is here." 小马庆祝软豆腐的到来。 --
