Thursday, May 17, 2012 Lamar Odom chapter filled with new intrigue By Jeff Caplan http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks/print?id=4689531 We'll probably never know coach Rick Carlisle's true feelings about Lamar Odom and the forward's indifferent attitude and disappointing performances with the Dallas Mavericks. Carlisle is a pragmatist. He doesn't obsess over what might have been. "It’s a chapter that is one that will go down in Mavs history as just something that didn’t work out," Carlisle told ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's Galloway & Company earlier this week. "We all tried. We all wanted it to work; Lamar wanted it to work. It was just rough. At times it felt like we were gaining momentum, but we just couldn’t get there and in the end we had to go on without him." 卡帅本周接受ESPN Dallas的访问中被问到关於ODOM的事，卡帅表示：「我们都累了，我 们都希望ODOM能融入小牛，ODOM也很努力。这过程并不顺利，我们一度认为可以成功，但 最後还是功败垂成，最後我们只好让他离开。」 One has to wonder how badly Odom really wanted it to work since only he could control his attitude and effort. The Odom chapter is not yet closed because, well, he's still a member of the team. The Mavs would love to slam the book shut by trading Odom around the draft and getting rid of the $2.4 million potential cap hit, the amount guaranteed on the final year of his deal that in full is worth $8.2 million. 然而「ODOM人生」还没有结束，他仍是小牛队的一员。小牛希望的结局是把ODOM在选秀日 前交易掉，可省下2.4M的买断费用，ODOM最後一年合约为8.2M, 球队有买断选择权，其中 2.4M是保证给付。 The deadline to trade Odom and wipe his potential cap hit from the books is June 29. Any team that has him on its roster by that date is responsible for paying him his guaranteed money. Two well-documented trade partners include Sacramento and Toronto, teams with substantial cap space to absorb Odom on the payroll and waive him. The Mavs will throw in cash to cover the buyout and maybe even throw in a second-round draft pick. That strategy has seemed the most logical because, the thinking has gone, the Mavs in no way will take back salary because it would burn their cap space and squeeze their ability to offer Deron Williams a max contract in free agency. 小牛最晚要在6月29号前把ODOM交易掉，因为只要这一天的名单里有ODOM，之後就必须要 付出2.4M来买断他。两个可能的交易对手是国王和暴龙，这两个球队都有大量的薪资空间 可以吃下ODOM的合约，然後再买断他的合约。小牛可能为此可能还要追加现金和一个二轮 选秀权。 小牛绝对有理由这样做，因为小牛已不可能再将薪水讨回来，而且ODOM的合约会吃掉小牛 的薪资空间，使得小牛无法提出顶薪来争取Deron Williams。 Then, Carlisle on GAC offered just a scenario. "One of the things about Odom’s contract is it is a contract that is going to be very desirable because it is a large number with a small guarantee, like (Jerry) Stackhouse’s and like (Erick) Dampier’s deal," Carlisle said. "Those two contract situations turned into (Shawn) Marion and (Tyson) Chandler. Those were two important building blocks to a championship." 卡帅表示：「ODOM的到期约仍然会有球队想要，因为额度大，而保证给付的部分相对少。 就像是当年的Stackhouse和Dampier一样。当年Stackhouse的合约换来了Marion, 而 Dampier的合约则换来了Chandler，他们都是重要的夺冠拼图。」 Whether he meant to or not, Carlisle opened the door for speculation that the Mavs could be open to dealing Odom for a player of relevance. It would require packaging him with say, Shawn Marion ($8.6 million next season), for a high-dollar player another team wants to get out from under the contract, for example Pau Gasol in Los Angeles or Amare Stoudemirein New York. The catch is that such a deal would make it difficult for the Mavs to then carve out enough cap space to offer a max deal to Williams. That is unless Dallas then moved the incoming player to another team in exchange for a player whose salary matched Marion's, as ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's Jeff "Skin" Wade explained on Wednesday's Ben & Skin Show. Such a scenario would rid the Mavs of Odom's cap hit, bring in a player at (most likely) a position of need and keep the Mavs in play to offer Williams the moon. Such a plan won't be easy to carry through, but it certainly was curious of Carlisle to mention, unprompted, the possibility. So let the speculation begin. 也就是说，小牛仍有可能会尝试用ODOM，必要时可能会加上Marion，去交易其他队想换出 去的高薪球员，像是湖人的Gasol、尼克的Stoudemire之类的。 但这样做又会使小牛无法有足够的薪资空间去签下DW，除非小牛再拉一队进来进行三方交 易，把上段提到的高薪球员送到第三队，然後只要从第三队换来一个跟Marion薪资对等的 球员。 这样一来小牛可以不用负担ODOM的买断费用、换来一个小牛需要的球员，同时保有一定的 薪资空间去追逐DW。 这可不容易，但从卡帅的谈话看来，可能性仍然存在。 所以，就让我们拭目以待吧！ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ 心得：续约卡帅-->处理ODOM-->签下先发PG DW, Nash, Dragic...-->JET合约 佛心续约或先签後换-->处理其他球员合约(West、VC、Kidd)--> 选秀或交易选秀权-->…太多事情要做了，会是一个充实？的暑假 --
