此系列为Jeff Caplan於ESPN Dallas网站中所发表的文章 讨论到今年各球员的表现以及可能的动向 排名的顺序是小牛下季将这位球员留在阵中的必要程度 Countdown: No. 15 Lamar Odom The offseason certainly arrived much sooner than anyone could have predicted, just like Lamar Odom's premature exit from the Dallas Mavericks. 小牛的暑假比大家预期的早开始，而Odom的不成熟也让他意外 的提早离开达拉斯。 The 6-foot-10 forward kicks off our offseason blog series that ranks the 2011-12 Mavericks roster in order of importance for the front office to bring back. Four of last season's six free agents found new homes with the exception of Peja Stojakovic, who called it a career after winning his first championship, and Brian Cardinal, who re-signed but made virtually no impact on the season. 这位6尺10寸的前锋在高层最不需要考虑留下的球员名单中排在 第一位。去年小牛放走了四位自由球员，只留下两个，另外还有 夺冠之後急流勇退的Peja Stojakovic。小牛留下的其中一人是 Brian Cardinal，但几乎没在这赛季做出贡献。 Eleven months ago, the title team proved difficult to rank in importance and I started the Countdown with DeShawn Stevenson as the least important. It drew quite a few raised eyebrows from those wondering how I could possibly consider the defensive bulldog and surprisingly valuable 3-point shooter the least important member of the title team to bring back. 11个月以前，我知道要评断卫冕冠军的哪位球员最不需要留下 是很困难的，我决定把DeShawn Stevenson放在第一位，很多人 质疑我为什麽我想放走这位防守大锁，同时偶尔能砍进三分冷 箭的球员，认为他最不需要回到卫冕阵容中。 In retrospect, the choice probably violated the spirit of this series. I chose Stevenson not because I didn't think he was an asset and worthy of returning for a chance to repeat, but because the Mavs traded for shooting guard Rudy Fernandez, a move that, to me, signaled that Stevenson wouldn't be back. Who would have figured that neither Stevenson nor Fernandez would start the season with the Mavs? 我当时的选择也许违背了当时这系列文章的宗旨，我会选他不 是因为他不值得留下，是因为小牛刚刚交易来得分後卫Rudy Fernandez，这个动作对我来说就代表了Stevenson将不会留在 队上。谁晓得最後小牛的开季阵容中不仅找不到Stevenson， 连Fernandez都不见了。 This time around the lead-off man in these rankings is a no-brainer. Odom's career-worst season has to go down as the most disappointing season in the league and one of the more frustrating ones for a franchise in recent memory. 不过今年这系列的第一名连想都不用想，Odom生涯最差的一季 让人相当失望，也是小牛历史上最让人沮丧的其中一位。 With that, on with the series: LAMAR ODOM Pos: SF/PF Ht/Wt: 6-10, 230 Experience: 13 years Age: 32 (Nov. 6, 1979) 2011-12 stats: 6.6 ppg (35.2 FG%), 4.2 rpg Contract status: Signed through 2012-2013 2011-12 salary: $8.9 million 2012-13 salary: $8.2 million ($2.4 million guaranteed) His story: There's a certain reality TV show on a certain entertainment channel starring a certain Kardashian sister and her basketball-playing husband that can provide the background of what went wrong in Odom's four short months with the Mavs. What didn't go wrong? Dallas thought it was getting a versatile forward who would help ease the pain of losing Tyson Chandler by supplying his unique skills that had helped the Lakers win back-to-back titles. Owner Mark Cuban says he'd make the trade all over again that brought the emotionally bogged-down Odom to Dallas for a draft pick and a trade exception. And hey, when the stunning trade went down Dec. 11, most thought the Mavs had just pulled off a coup and wondered why in the world the Lakers would seemingly just hand over last season's Sixth Man of the Year to the team that swept them out of the playoffs. Now we know. Odom与妻子Kardashian所参加的实境秀或许提供了为什麽一切的 发展都让人摇头的线索，在Odom短短四个月的小牛生涯中，到底 哪里发生了问题？小牛本来以为交易来这位全能的前锋可以帮助 他们减低失去Tyson Chandler所带来的影响，并藉助他帮助湖人 拿下二连霸的经验。Cuban说如果时间倒流，他还是会选择用一个 选秀权换来Odom与交易特例。而且当这个让人惊讶的交易发生时， 大家都认为小牛大赚一笔，并质疑湖人怎麽会拱手送出去年的最佳 第六人，还送给横扫他们的小牛，现在我们知道了。 His outlook: Odom is actually under consideration for a spot on Team USA for the London Games because of the rash of injuries that have taken out star players like Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard. Cuban actually said he'd love to see it, but only because he has such disdain for Olympic basketball, so he figures the two were meant to be together. Where Odom lands next season will be a far more intriguing story to follow. For starters, Dallas will try everything it can to dump him off on a team with loads of salary cap space such as Toronto or Sacramento and throw in $3 million to offset the $2.4 million guaranteed on Odom's deal next season. If the Mavs can't dump him in a trade, they'll waive him and be responsible for the $2.4 million, which will eat into their cap space this summer. Such a result will not please Cuban. No matter what, Odom will be long gone from this organization. A return to the Lakers is not likely since they can't add him to the roster for a full year after the date he was traded, Dec. 11. Could he land with the Miami Heat, one of his former teams that obviously will be a contender for years to come? Well, if he wants to sign for a fraction of his actual 2012-13 salary, then it's possible. Of course, no team might risk much more than a couple million anyway. How about the team with which he started his career, the Los Angeles Clippers? Possible. Caron Butler is signed for two more years at small forward, but Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans are free agents. 事实上因为美国梦幻队的伤兵累累，包括Derrick Rose与Dwight Howard都受伤了，Odom被列入伦敦奥运的观察名单中。Cuban说他 很乐意看Odom去打奥运，因为他根本看不起奥运的篮球比赛，所 以他觉得Odom配奥运很适合。Odom明年会到哪队将会是很有趣的 戏码，最初小牛会试着尽快把他脱手，来避免明年2.4M的保障合 约，可能的对象是暴龙或是国王。如果小牛没法把他交易掉，他 们就得把他裁掉并且要负责明年Odom 2.4M的薪水，这会占掉明年 一部份的薪资总额，Cuban不乐见这种事发生。但无论如何他明年 都不会留队，Odom重回湖人也不太可能发生，因为湖人要在今年 12月11日之後(交易满一年)重新签回他。他也可能重回曾经待过 的热火，不过他明年的薪资将会大幅缩水。当然没有球队会愿意 冒险花大笔银子签他，而他职业生涯的起点快艇也有机会，尽管 Caron Butler还有两年约，但是Kenyon Martin与Reggie Evans都 是自由球员。 --
