J.J. willing to play for less money in New York? JJ肯拿比较少的钱去尼克打球？ ESPN.coms Chris Broussard says the Knicks will meet with J.J. in Los Angeles soon after free agency opens at midnight Thursday. ESPN的Broussard说，只要星期四自由球员开市，尼克会尽快飞去洛杉矶跟JJ见面 Thats no surprise since New York is one of a handful of teams with the cap space to offer J.J. a max deal and its always been speculated J.J. would look at the Knicks because of his his strong relationship with coach Mike D Antoni from their Phoenix days. Until now Id always heard New York wasnt very interested in Johnson, but apparently thats not the case. Broussard says the Knicks think J.J. can sell LeBron on teaming up in New York, which seems to be kind of a backwards arrangement. 也不令人吃惊啦，毕竟尼克有薪资空间，尼克教头又跟JJ很熟（毕竟在太阳一起混过） 签来JJ，也可以吸引James，不过那是後面的事了。 The most interesting part of Broussards story is that he reports Johnson is willing to take less money from the Knicks, who cant pay him as much as the Hawks due to salary-cap rules. According to Broussard, J.J. believes he can make up the roughly $25 million difference through endorsements and stock shares in Madison Square Garden. (Edit: Im pretty sure paying a guy in stock options would be against NBA rules because it is a circumvention of the salary cap. Edit2: A helpful reader emailed to point out the league has already addressed this specific situation.) If the Hawks resign themselves to J.J.s departure, he could get the $25 million and they could get an asset through a sign-and-trade. 这个消息最有趣的部分是说JJ愿意拿比较少的钱加入尼克(因为薪资的规定，所以去尼克一定拿的比老鹰给的少)。 根据Broussard，JJ相信他可以拿到尼克给的额外股票，不过这个已经违反NBA薪资的规定了啦！(给女仆也许有机会)。 Dont ask me about the stocks, but J.J. hasnt been a very marketable player, nor has he been very enthusiastic about marketing himself. Not sure how much that changes even playing in New York, especially if hes on a team with either LeBron or Amare. And Im still waiting to see all these older free agents willing to forsake $20-30 million in salary just so they can be more famous, play on a better team, bring in extra endorsements, live in a better city or whatever. 老实说JJ在今年的自由市场也不是多热门，不知道最後他在尼克打球的机会多大，更别说James或是Amare也一起过来。 还真想看看那个球员愿意放弃原来的2-3千万，只为了额外的收入，或是去比较大的城市。 In any event, J.J. taking less money to play elsewhere is the scenario most feared by Atlanta . Rumblings that J.J. may be willing to do just that before free agency has already begun will only increase the Hawks nervousness about his departure. Getting the word out there certainly gives J.J. more leverage with the Hawks, who at some point may have to decide if they will give J.J. a six-year, maximum-level salary. 老鹰最害怕的就是JJ会这样做，目前传言满天飞，更是让老鹰紧张极了。 这让JJ可以利用这种气氛要求老鹰给他最多6年的合约以留住他。 I wouldnt think J.J. would be a New York kind of guyVif he thinks he got it bad here after fading in the playoffs, wait until hes the goat in that city. Ive always thought the Bulls would be J.J.s most likely destination if he left Atlanta. Just a couple days ago K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reported that J.J. was ready to make an early commitment to the Bulls. 如果JJ是因为季后赛的失利而要离开，那去尼克不太对吧！应该是公牛比较适合(大家都想去公牛？) But then Jonathan Abrams wrote in the New York Times that the Bulls are the favorites to land LeBron and Bosh, which would not leave money for J.J. Then again, maybe Bosh really is headed for Miami and then J.J. and LeBron can team up in Chicago. 不过根据Jonathan Abrams说的，公牛最想签下James和Bosh，签完就没钱签JJ了。 所以也许Bosh去热火，JJ和James一起去公牛。 Already you can see how free agency is going to be a pretty silly season. 对那些自由球员来说，今年会是让人晕头转向的一个球季。 --
