Judging by the pictures Delonte West is tweeting from his home in Maryland of some delectable-looking feasts -- mostly recently a fresh batch of crabs -- he might be the next contestant one of those food star-chef challenge reality TV shows. 当我看到Delonte West在马里兰州的家中上传到推特上的照片时， 那些看起来令人食指大动的美食，尤其时最近一张上面有一堆新鲜 的螃蟹的，让我觉得他可以去参加美食料理的实境节目了。 (他的帐号是CharleeRedz13，真的蛮多美食的!!) Nah, West is all about hoops and the only regret he said he has about last season is that the finger he mutilated trying to make a steal in mid-February and sidelined him for six weeks prevented him from showing the Dallas fans how complete of a player he really is. 开玩笑的，West会继续当个篮球员，他对於上个赛季最後悔的就是 在二月中的一次抄球让他的手指脱臼了，使他必须休养六个礼拜， 没办法向达拉斯的球迷展现他全能的球技。 The question now is, was West one-and-done in Big D or is one of the game's -- not to mention one of Twitter's (@CharleeRedz13) -- more colorful personalities going to be back? There are plenty of arguments to be made that suggest West, one of the few productive Mavs this season whose age started with a 2 and not a 3, is an important piece to keep on the roster. One is his defensive chops -- although it wasn't so apparent in his brief playoff stint -- in a backcourt that otherwise lacks punch on that end of things. 问题来了，West会只来小牛过水一年呢，还是会再度把他多采多姿 的个性－如同他在推特上传的照片一样－带回球队？有越来越多的 舆论认为，做为今年少数为球队很有贡献，同时年龄是2字头不是3 字头的球员，West是小牛应该留下的重要球员。另外就是他的防守 功力，尽管这在今年短短的季後赛中不那麽明显，但毕竟小牛的後 场防守人选实在太少了。 The Countdown rolls on at No. 4 ... DELONTE WEST Pos.: PG/SG Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-3, 180 Experience: 8 years Age: 28 (July 26, 1983) 2011-12 stats: 9.6 ppg, 3.2 apg, 24.1 mpg, 44 G Contract status: Unrestricted free agent 2011-12 salary: $854,389 2012-13 salary: TBD His story: We know this much: After two seasons of playing on one-year, veteran-minimum contracts, West is hopeful that he's proven himself valuable enough on the court and trustworthy enough off it to earn a multi-year deal somewhere this summer. Much like with Jason Terry, the market price for West combined with Dallas' own success rate in free agency (i.e. Deron Williams) will greatly determine what the Mavs can do in terms of signing ancillary pieces. And say this for West: He instantly ingratiated himself to all the right people. Mark Cuban, Rick Carlisle, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd all fell in love with the kid, who came to Dallas after some hard times (an unfortunate 2009 arrest) and with much to prove because injuries have dogged him the past few seasons. He showed his value when he was healthy, subbing at point guard for an injured Kidd, starting at shooting guard and giving Dallas a tenacious two-way player, something of a combination of J.J. Barea and DeShawn Stevenson. 在连续领两年老将底薪打球之後，West希望他已经向大家证明，他 有能力在球场上做出贡献，并且值得一份复数年合约。就像Jason Terry一样，小牛能开给他的价码能不能符合市场价值，端看於暑 假小牛会不会签来大咖自由球员，例如Deron Williams，这会牵动 小牛补强其他位置的薪资空间。这里要为West说句话：他可以马上 取得大家的欢心，包括Mark Cuban、Rick Carlisle、Dirk Nowitzki 与Jason Kidd，他们都喜欢这个孩子。他在来到小牛之前过的并不 顺遂，曾经在2009年被逮捕，前几季又受到伤势困扰。他今年健康 的时候展现出价值，补上了控球後卫Kidd受伤的空缺，先发打得分 後卫，他两个位置都能打，让小牛的後场更加顽强，有点像是J.J. Barea与DeShawn Stevenson的综合体。 His outlook: One can argue that West should be back until their face turns blue, but if Williams indeed joins the Mavs, then West's return is not likely. If Williams signs elsewhere, West's odds of being back obviously go up. And if West gets a good offer quickly, he'll likely jump on it. That's just the nature of the business under tighter salary cap restrictions. While West was a solid contributor when on the floor, just staying on the floor has been a struggle. Various injuries have limited him to no more than 61 games in a season going back to 2007-08. Teams will certainly take that into consideration when it comes to longer-term deals, but there does seem to be agreement that West will find his multi-year deal. There's little doubt the Mavs would love to keep him for his versatility and tenacity. They just don't know if they will be able to. 或许有人会喋喋不休的说服你West应该归队，但如果蝶龙加入小牛， 那West回来的可能性就微乎其微了。如果蝶龙去了别队，那West续约 的可能性当然大幅提升，当West收到好的报价时，他应该很快就会点 头答应了，这就是当商场上的薪资空间有所限制时的自然走向。尽管 West在场上的贡献稳定，但他能不能稳定上场却是个问题。各种不同 的伤势让他在2007-08球季之後未曾上场超过61场，球队在与他谈长约 时当然会考虑这点，不过大多数人同意他会得到一笔复数年合约。无 庸置疑小牛会想要留下这位多功能又顽强的球员，但他们未必有能力 留下他。 下集待续 (我认为作者的排序是先列可有可无的，再列明年有合约除非交易出去 的，其次就是情感上想留但为了未来可能要牺牲的，最後当然是Dirk， 应该吧XD) --
