Every athlete should have it as good as Brendan Haywood. Eleven seasons into a serviceable, yet hardly spectacular career, the 7-footer out of North Carolina has already pocketed some $44 million in career earnings. At a time when some 32-year-old vets are wondering if they've got another payday coming, Haywood is locked into a generous deal afforded by owner Mark Cuban for three more seasons that will take his career earnings north of $72 million. 很多运动员跟Brendan Haywood一样，打了11的球季，却没有 太突出的表现，这位来自北卡的七尺长人生涯已经赚了超过 44M，有些32岁的球员或许还在为下一份合约努力，而Cuban 与黑雾签下的大约保证了他剩下三年的薪水，并会让他的生 涯薪资总额来到72M。 It's a good living if you can get it. 如果黑雾能顺利拿到这笔钱的话，他的下半辈子就不愁吃穿了。 Yet, for that kind of dough the Dallas Mavericks might have expected more than 3.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 15.3 minutes -- with perhaps a hard foul thrown in along the way -- during four playoff losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The irony is that the Thunder were considered the favored first-round opponent over the massive front line of the Los Angeles Lakers that would pit Haywood on Andrew Bynum. 但是小牛一定对他在季後赛对上雷霆平均上场15.3分钟只拿下 3.3分3.3篮板的表现有更高的期待，或许至少可以凶狠的犯个 规。讽刺的是，在内线球员这个方面，对上雷霆已经比对上湖 人的Andrew Bynum容易多了。 Haywood couldn't stay on the floor against OKC's Kendrick Perkins, who scored 13 points in Game 2 and averaged 7.7 rebounds in 27.3 minutes a game before leaving early in Game 4 with a hip injury. In those first three games, Haywood played a total of 36 minutes, shot 3-of-11 from the floor and had nine rebounds. 黑雾没办法在场上与Kendrick Perkins抗衡，Perkins在第二战 攻下13分，他在第四战因为臀部拉伤退场，仍然在27.3分钟的上 场时间里抓下7.7个篮板。而黑雾在前三战总共只上场36分钟， 投11中3并抓下9个篮板。 Go back to the series before that, yes, the NBA Finals. Haywood injured his hip in Game 2 and didn't play the rest of the way as Dallas secured the title in six games. 回顾前一个系列赛，也就是去年的NBA总冠军战，黑雾在第二战 拉伤了臀部，之後就没什麽上场，最後小牛在第六战淘汰热火。 Haywood twisted an ankle and sprained a knee late this season and maybe those ailments had something to do with his ineffective play. Perkins even suggested prior to Game 4 that something must be bothering the Mavs' big man. 黑雾在季末扭伤了脚踝又拉伤了膝盖，也许这些伤势对他造成影 响，Perkins甚至在第四战之前说黑雾或许是受到伤势的困扰。 Since his arrival in February 2010 when Haywood started on a double-double roll, invoking praise by some as "best center in Mavs history," to OKC's first-round rough-up, his popularity among fans has hit an all-time low. 在黑雾於2010年二月加入小牛之後，他一度连续好几场拿下双十， 让大家认为他或许是小牛队史的最佳中锋。在今年第一轮草草结束 之後，他在球迷心目中的地位已经来到了生涯的最低点。 And now, thanks to the amnesty clause negotiated into the new collective bargaining agreement, Haywood's future in Dallas is certainly in doubt. 现在多亏了新的特赦条款，球队有机会省下一大笔钱，因此黑雾 的小牛生涯也充满不确定性。 The Countdown rolls on at No. 11 ... BRENDAN HAYWOOD Pos: C Ht/Wt: 7-0, 263 Experience: 11 years Age: 32 (Nov. 27, 1979) 2011-12 stats: 5.2 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 21.2 mpg Contract status: Signed through 2014-15 2011-12 salary: $7.6 million 2012-13 salary: $8.3 million His story: In hindsight, the handsome, five-year contract (the sixth year is non-guaranteed) the Mavs handed Haywood following the 2009-10 season doesn't look so great. Of course, when Dallas did the deal it didn't know that a few weeks later Tyson Chandler would land in its lap via a trade with the Charlotte Bobcats. Haywood took Rick Carlisle's early offseason promise that he would take over as the starting center with Erick Dampier on his way out. Except Dampier's expiring contract turned into a resurgent Chandler, who came off a successful Team USA stint and instantly changed those starting plans. The Mavs will point to their defensive statistics this season as proof that Chandler wasn't missed as some would have thought. Others will point to athleticism, attitude, leadership and a stretch from March 2 through May 5 in which Haywood managed one double-digit scoring game and averaged 4.2 rebounds as proof that the Mavs took a significant dip at the center position. 事後回来看，小牛与黑雾在2010年之後签下的五年合约(第六年 非保证约)似乎没那麽好。当然小牛不知道几个礼拜以後他们就 从山猫交易来了Tyson Chandler。卡帅在刚放暑假时保证在Erick Dampier合约到期离开之後，黑雾会是先发中锋。但在Chandler 的到来并且在美国梦幻队打出了漂亮的成绩之後计画生变。小牛 今年的防守数据证明了少了拳王并没有大家想像的差那麽多，差 的主要是运动能力，比赛态度与领导能力，看看黑雾在3月2日到 5月5日这两个多月只有一次得分破10，平均只有4.2篮板，就知 道小牛在中锋这个位置有很大的问题。 His outlook: This is where things get interesting. If the Mavs are to sign Deron Williams in July, they will have to amnesty a player to help create the appropriate cap space to offer a max deal. There are two amnesty candidates, Shawn Marion and Haywood, but Marion figured to be the leading candidate if only because it is so difficult to find a 7-foot center to plug into the starting lineup. But, as the season wore on and as Haywood's floor time dwindled in the playoffs, plus with Marion having a fine season -- particularly as a defensive stopper -- speculation raged that Haywood has taken the amnesty lead. Haywood even said during an appearance on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's Ben & Skin Show that he would not be offended if the team does cut ties. And why should he? The Mavs will still owe him the $28 million remaining on his contract and he'll pad it a bit more from whichever team should get him next. 有趣的是，如果小牛想要签下Deron Williams，他们就要动用特 赦条款来清出薪资以开出最大的合约。有两个特赦的候选名单， 就是黑雾跟Marion，Marion是比较可能的人选，因为七尺的先发 中锋不是那麽好找。但是整季看下来在加上黑雾在季後赛逐渐退 出轮值，而且Marion本季表现也不差，尤其是防守做的很好。大 家开始猜测黑雾已经成为被特赦的头号可能，黑雾甚至在ESPN的 节目中表示他如果被球队特赦不会感到不高兴。他当然不会，小 牛还要付28M给他，他或许还能在其他球队拿到一笔钱。 --
