The Lakers can breathe easier. They are no longer paying Brian Grant. 湖人终於能够轻松的喘口气了。他们不必再背负着Brian Grant的合约。 His contract finally expires tonight, but so does the one belonging to Luke Walton, who will be thrust into the open market at 9:01 p.m. while ushering in another phase of the Lakers' off-season — and more questions — with the beginning of the free-agency period. 他（Brian Grant）的合约仅到今晚，但是Luke Walton的合约截止日也是如此，Luke将在 晚间9：01被放在自由市场当中，其实时间点也是湖人将要面临季外另一个布满许多问题的 层面，此也正是签署自由球员的开始。 Will the Lakers retain Walton by perhaps tripling the $1.4 million he made last season? They hope so. 湖人会拿出去年的薪资，一百四十万的三倍，来留住Walton吗？显然这是湖人希望能达到 这样的结果。 Will they re-sign Chris Mihm at a substantial pay cut? It's a wait-and-see. 那他们会重新签下Chris Mihm的合约吗？看来必须要再等等。 Whom will they sign with their mid-level exception? Denver point guard Steve Blake, Milwaukee point guard Mo Williams, Orlando forward Grant Hill and Miami sharpshooter Jason Kapono are all possibilities. 那湖人又想用他们的中产签下谁呢？以丹佛金块的控卫Steve Blake、密尔瓦基公鹿的控卫 Mo Williams、奥兰多的前锋Grant Hill和迈阿密热火的狙击手Jason Kapono这几个人的可 能性较大。 Although the Lakers just drafted a young point guard for a second consecutive season, they're in the market for one with more experience than Javaris Crittenton, who played one season at Georgia Tech. 虽然湖人才刚连续第二年的选进一个年轻控卫，但他们也正在找一个比起 Javaris Crittenton来的有经验的控卫，毕竟他才在Georgia Tech大学打过一年而已。 "I think that remains a position we need to pursue," General Manager Mitch Kupchak said Friday. "Jordan Farmar may end up being that player, but we do feel that another player in the backcourt, a veteran player, would be a good fit." Mitch Kupchak星期五说到：『我想我们的确还有地方必须进行补强。也许Jordan Farmar 已经解决那个问题，但是我们总觉得会有另一个更适合的富有经验後场球员。』 Other than trades, the mid-level exception will be the main free-agent tool at the Lakers' disposal. The exception, given annually to teams over the salary cap, was used last season on a five-year, $30.2 million deal for Vladimir Radmanovic. 有一个比交易更重要的事，那就是湖人拥有的中产条款将会是他们在自由球员市场进行交 易的一项重要的工具。每队每年都拥有的一个中产条款，去年湖人是用来签下5年三千二十 万的Vladimir Radmannovic。 The exception can be broken into pieces and used on more than one player. 而中产条款的金额能够被分成许多部分，用在不同的球员身上。 "There's a long summer ahead of us — July, August, and September — and there's a lot of things that can be done," Coach Phil Jackson said. "We're going to try to do what we have to do to replenish the amount of talent. It's not just talent, it's about players who can play their way through a season." 总教练Phil Jackson说：『在我们面前将有一个漫长的暑假-七月、八月、九月，并且有许 多事情是能够在这段时间内被完成的。我们将会试着去作那些我们必须要去填满那些具有 天资的球员。但不能只拥有天分，他们必须能够用他们自己能够做到的打球方式去度过整 个球季。』 Blake, 27, was traded early last season from Milwaukee to Denver and averaged 6.4 points and five assists in the Nuggets' high-scoring offense. Steady but not flashy, he could run the triangle offense with quiet efficiency. 27岁的Blake上个球季是经由密尔瓦基被交易到丹佛去的，在金块队中他在高得分的进攻战 术中每场能够拿下6.4分以及传出5次助攻。其成绩是稳定而非偶而出现的，他能够有效率 的执行三角战术。 Williams, 24, will have many teams chasing him after averaging 17.3 points and 6.1 assists for Milwaukee. At 6 feet 1, he is two inches shorter than Blake and there are questions about his durability. 24岁的Williams，有许多球队对於他在密尔瓦基公鹿时，每场能够贡献17.3分并传出6.1次 助攻而产生兴趣。Williams拥有低於Blake2寸的6尺1寸身高，但他的耐久度将遭到质疑。 Kapono, 26, has long had an interest in playing for the Lakers. The former UCLA standout averaged a career-high 10.9 points and made a league-best 51.4% from three-point range last season for Miami. 26岁的Kapono相当有兴趣加入湖人队。这位来自UCLA的杰出前锋在迈阿密时每场能够缴出 职业新高的10.9分，并且他拥有全联盟最高的三分命中率-51.4％。 Hill, 34, had a solid season for Orlando, averaging 14.4 points and 30.9 minutes, but he has had trouble staying on the court in recent seasons because of a variety of injuries. He played 65 games last season. 34岁的Hill在奥兰多的完整球季中平均每场能够缴出14.4分和上场30.9分钟的能力，但他 最近的球季当中，由於他各种的伤势，故对於能够持续留在场上的能力已产生问题。上一 季他总共出赛了65场比赛。 The Lakers will also take a long look at re-signing two of their own free agents with moves that won't require using the exception. 湖人将会持续花时间审视两名需要重签的自由球员，但他们不会用到他们的中产条款。 They are very interested in retaining Walton, the consummate triangle type who averaged career-high averages of 11.4 points, five rebounds and 4.3 assists last season. They have the right to re-sign him for up to six years, with his first-year salary starting at $12 million, but $4 million to $5 million a year is obviously a more plausible swing zone. 他们非常有兴趣继续留下Walton，一个十分适合三角战术且在去年当中每场能够缴出11.4 分、5个篮板以及4.3次助攻的球员。他们有权以一张长达六年且第一年付给他一千两百万 的薪资合约签下他，但显然一年四百万到一年5百万的薪资是比较合理的。 "We like Luke," Kupchak said. "We'd like to bring him back in the fold and we plan to talk to him about it as soon as the rules allow us to do so." Kupchak说：『我们非常喜欢Luke。我们想要把他留下来，而且我们也和他聊到我们期望能 够尽快的用我们能够用的方法把留他下来。』 Walton, 27, was expected to receive varying degrees of interest from 10 to 12 teams. 27岁的Walton正被10到12支各种不同等级球队追逐着。 "The Lakers are definitely at the top of the list, but at the same time, I'm going to talk to other teams and go meet with them and see what it's like in other cities," Walton said. "I at least have to do that." Walton说：『湖人队当然是在这些名单中的首位，但在同时，我也将会去和那些球队进行 面谈，并且看看他们球队的性质。至少我必须这麽做。』 Mihm, 27, won't receive as many calls for obvious reasons. He sat out last season after undergoing reconstructive ankle surgery and was expected to take a significant cut from the $4.2 million he made last season. 27岁的Mihm将不会因为前面的理由收到很多通电话。上个球季他因为必须进行踝关节手术 的重建工作并且被期望买断去年他拿到的四百二十万。 He has been working out with Andrew Bynum at the Lakers' training facility and says his right ankle feels strong, but he understands the questions on the minds of other teams, including the Lakers. Mihm已经开始跟Andrew Bynum出现在湖人的训练营了，并且持续发挥他的能力，而且Mihm 说他的右踝关节已经感到十分的强壮，但他了解到其他球队对於他的伤势仍然充满疑问， 这当然包含湖人队。 "I'm sure there's going to be some teams that are OK with it and are going to bring offers to the table," he said. "Others want to see me come in and see me run, jump, and the whole deal. It's going to be a process. I know the Lakers and I would both like to make something work here." 他说：『我十分确定有些球队对於目前这样情况觉得OK，并且会带着合约和我在桌上进行 谈判。其他则会想要来到这里看到我跑、跳，和整个情况。这将会是整个程序。我知道湖 人和我都非常希望能够在这里做些事情。』 Mihm was averaging a career-best 10.2 points before getting injured toward the end of the 2005-06 season. Mihm在2005-06球季尚未受伤前，平均每场能够拿出职业新高的10.2分。 ============================================================================= 很抱歉，我翻外电的能力没有那麽好，只是试着翻翻看，如果有言不达词义，或是翻错意 思的情况发生，请在推文中指正我！ -- If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will. 如果你都不相信你自己做得到，又有谁会去相信！- Kobe Bryant 8 --
