For many, even after his out-of-this-world performance in the 2011 postseason, Jason Kidd would not be a consideration to bring back next season. After all, he'll turn 40 in March and he's coming off a season in which he struggled through three injuries, missed 18 of 66 games and finished with the worst statistics of his career. 对於很多人来说，尽管Jason Kidd在2011年季後赛打出了不可思议 的成绩，他们还是不希望Kidd明年回到小牛。毕竟Kidd将在明年三 月满40岁，今年又受了三次伤，在66场比赛中缺赛18场，打出来的 成绩也是生涯最差的。 In fact, there will be some of you who can't believe Kidd wasn't on this list a week ago. 事实上，有些读者不敢相信为什麽Kidd不在上礼拜的名单当中。 (指#10~#6) Everyone by now should know that Kidd's value is not measured by statistics alone. And in regards to next season, his value can only be measured in Dirk Nowitzki's happiness. Remember, Nowitzki is the one that really pushed for the 2008 trade for Kidd, persevered with Kidd through the rough times when it didn't look like a championship was in the stars and then ultimately won a title with Kidd -- a long-awaited first for both. 大家都应该知道Kidd价值不是数据能显现的，在下一个球季，他的 价值还包括了让Dirk Nowitzki高兴。Dirk在2008年很支持球队交易 来Kidd，他与Kidd都被背负着无冕王的称号，直到不屈不挠的两人 终於赢来了期待已久的冠军戒。 And now Nowitzki wants him back. Nowitzki believes Kidd can still play the game at a high level and make offense easier for the rest of the team, as Nowitzki has often said. But there's another variable at work here. Nowitzki, one might surmise, wants Kidd back to help ease the transition with the possibility of a large-scale roster revamp on the way. And that revamp could possibly include the club's future point guard, whether it's Kidd's friend Deron Williams or someone else. 而现在Dirk希望他归队，他相信Kidd还是能在比赛中打出高水准， 并且让进攻变的更简单，这是Dirk常常说的。不过还有一个变数存 在，有人猜测，Dirk想要Kidd归队是因为明年队上可能会有一堆球 员的变动，Kidd在能减轻适应的麻烦。不过这个变动也可能包括球 队未来的先发控位人选，可能是Kidd的朋友Deron Williams或其他 人。 Nowitzki needs another familiar face, another familiar voice, a veteran, old-school, respected presence to set the ground rules and help bring a new cast of players together as quickly as possible. Kidd, loved by all in the NBA, would be integral in getting that done. Dirk需要一位熟悉的面孔、熟悉的声音、一个老将与受到尊敬的人 来帮忙订下规矩并很快的把新队员团结起来。做为在联盟中受到爱 戴的球员，Kidd会是这件差事很好的人选。 Just listen to Nowitzki talk about his pal: "I’d love to have him back," Nowitzki said. "I was very fortunate in my career to play with two of the best passing point guards there ever were with Nashie (Steve Nash) and him. He’s been great. He's been a warrior, just one of probably the fiercest competitors I’ve ever been around. That’s why he was able to stick around a long time, because he still has it. He can make big shots, he can compete on defense, he doesn’t care about stats and he’s been a great friend off the floor, too; great guy, Hall of Fame player. We wish to have him back, but if he decides, hey, there’s a good team I can come off the bench and give them something and he leaves, then I can’t be mad at him." 听听Dirk的说法吧："我很希望他回来，我很幸运在生涯中搭配过 两位联盟中最会传球的控球後卫，Nash与Kidd。他很棒，他是位勇 者，他可能是我遇过最好斗的竞争者。这就是他为什麽能在联盟待 那麽久，因为他还做得到，他能投进关键球，能拼命防守，他不在 乎数据，在球场上是个好队友，是个很棒的家伙，未来名人堂的成 员。我们希望他能留下，但如果他决定能去其他球队，从板凳出发 并且给他们一些帮助，我也不会怪他。" But would Dirk be mad if the Mavs didn't go the extra mile to re-sign Kidd if dollars gap isn't ridiculously wide? This will be interesting. 但如果小牛是因为薪资空间不够，所以没留下Kidd，Dirk会怪高层 吗？这会很有趣。 The Countdown roars along at No. 3 ... JASON KIDD Pos.: PG Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-4, 210 Experience: 18 years Age: 39 (March 23, 1973) 2011-12 stats: 6.2 ppg, 5.5 apg, 4.1 rpg, 48 G Contract status: Unrestricted free agent 2011-12 salary: $10.1 million 2012-13 salary: TBD His story: A decade ago Kidd guided the Nets to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances, proving that the step-child franchise can win in the shadow of the Big Apple. And that was back when the shadow extended to the Jersey swamps and didn't have a Russian billionaire owner promising to pay whatever it takes to field a championship club. The question is whether J-Kidd is showering any advice on the younger Williams, like how great it might be to revive that franchise in a beautiful new building in Brooklyn. Or perhaps Kidd is telling Williams how great Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson treat their players and how they'll always give the franchise a chance to compete no matter how difficult it appears (and this is one of those times). Kidd has made no secret that he would happily accept a backup role to Williams and very few others -- here or even possibly up there. Kidd has said he'd like to return to Dallas, while at the same time leaving the door for change wide open. 十年前，Kidd带领篮网连续两年打进总冠军战，证明了尽管篮网活在 尼克的阴影之下，还是可以打出佳绩。现在又有一位俄罗斯富豪买下 了篮网队，承诺会不惜资本把篮网打造成冠军队。问题是Kidd有没有 给年轻的蝶龙任何建议呢，例如说在布鲁克林美丽的新球场里为崛起 的强权效力是多麽美妙？又或者是Kidd会告诉他Mark Cuban与Donnie Nelson是多麽友善的对待小牛的球员，而且这是一支不管有多少困境 都会奋战到底的球队。Kidd很大方的表示他乐於担任蝶龙会是其他一 些球员的替补，在小牛或是别的球队。Kidd说他想留下来，不过也不 排除转队的可能。 His outlook: Kidd has also said he wants to play two more years to take him through 20 seasons and age 41. But can he be an effective everyday player at his age? Will a return to the full 82-game schedule, with its month-long buildup to the regular season and the normal days off between games help him stay healthy and be more effective than he was during this rushed and compacted season? And how much will he command on the open market? Does Kidd see himself as a full mid-level guy? And which teams that he might find attractive will be open to pay him? When the season ended, Kidd predicted that his future will be settled very quickly once the July 1 free agency period opens. Is that because he assumes that D-Will's future will be sealed quickly? The intrigue builds. Kidd说了他想再打两年，这会让在NBA打滚20个球季，并且打到41岁， 不过到时候他还会是这麽有效率吗？在球季回到82场比赛之後，球季 拉长一个月，不过有更多的时间休息，Kidd的调整会比今年休息时间 不足的缩水球季好吗？他又希望在市场上得到怎样的报价？Kidd真的 把自己视为联盟中的一般球员了吗？哪些球队会愿意开价给他？今年 球季结束之後，Kidd预测他在7月1号左右就会很快的决定去向，这是 因为蝶龙的去向也很快就会确定了吗？似乎有什麽阴谋。 下集待续 (请大家不要反应太过激烈...这只是国外作家的看法而已 跟小牛高层的决定没有绝对的关系) --
