http://tinyurl.com/827or48 By Jeff Caplan The Dallas Mavericks have made their interest in bringing back spark plug J.J. Barea known, but so have several other big hitters. 目前有不少球队对Barea有兴趣 The Miami Heat, who open the regular season in Dallas on Christmas Day, the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Sacramento Kings have all made contact with Barea's agent, Dan Fegan, a source close to the situation confirmed Friday. 包括热火,湖人,尼克,国王 Barea, who is from Puerto Rico, but played his senior year of high school basketball in Miami, has maintained that his priority is returning to the Mavs, the franchise that took a chance on him as an undersized, undrafted free agent out of Northeastern five years ago. Barea has emerged as Dallas' dependable backup behind Jason Kidd, averaging around 20 minutes a game. His points, assists and minutes have all increased over the past three seasons. Barea过去三个球季 得分,助攻,上场时间都是不断提升 During a brief phone conversation Friday with Barea, who is in the Dominican Republic before he returns to Dallas next week, he reiterated that he hopes to again be playing for Dallas and that the ball is in the Mavs' court. "I always said that's my first option," Barea said. "I did my job last year." He said he is not necessarily chasing the highest offer or a starting job, saying, "I just want what I deserve." Barea表示他想回达拉斯 并不会追寻最高的报价或是能提供先发位置的球队 Teams could begin talking to player-agents on Wednesday, but players can't sign a deal until at least Dec. 9. Barea earned $1.8 million last season. He had an up-and-down regular season, starting the first two months horribly, but finishing strong, including a breakout postseason in which he gave the Lakers fits and started the last three games of the NBA Finals at shooting guard. But, where the market is for Barea isn't clear. 上个赛季 Barea前两个月打得很糟 不过是渐入佳境,在季後赛对湖人,热火都起到很 关键的作用 It might be a stretch for a team with the ability to use the full mid-level exception ($5 million starting salary) to go that high for Barea, but it is possible that a team like Sacramento, with some $28 million in cap space, could certainly drive up the price and give Barea a difficult decision. Interestingly, the Kings drafted 5-foot-8 point guard Isaiah Thomas out of Washington late in the second round. 有2800万薪资空间的国王有可能开出让Barea难以拒绝的价码 "I want to know where I'm going to be at," Barea said. "I'd like to be with the same team, in the same city, in the same house. We'll see." 希望Barea能留下 不然PG这个位置只靠38岁的Kidd相当吃紧 --
