Sefko: Daunting task faces Mavs, GM Donnie Nelson to try to construct a title contender this offseason. Dallas Morning News 达拉斯晨报 E. Sefko goo.gl/8KAXn0 Minutes after the Mavericks' season ended, in the bowels of Chesapeake Energy Arena, Donnie Nelson stood with a pained look on his face. 当小牛们在雷霆主场画上15-16赛季的句点 GM小尼站在场边脸上带着落寞 Not so much because his team had been booted from the playoffs in five games by Oklahoma City, although that was part of it. 不全然因为与OKC的五场对抗後败下阵来 尽管那是成分之一 Mostly, the president of basketball operations was already looking at the daunting task ahead. 大概他已经看见艰钜的暑假作业等着他 This is where it gets hard for Nelson, owner Mark Cuban and coach Rick Carlisle. 这是小尼库班和金凯瑞要一起面对的难题 "You got that right," Nelson said. Five seasons have gone by since the 2011 chamionship and the Mavericks haven't made it out of the first round of the playoffs in any of them. 2011夺冠後已经过了五年 我们没有再赢过任何一个系列赛 For a team that once had such a good groove going with periodic deep playoff runs, this is not the kind of rut they want to be in. 对一支曾经的季後赛常客又不习惯四月就放假的球队 这显然不是想要遭遇的循环 Fixing this is on management, as it has been every summer. Carlisle has proven to be masterful at squeezing every drop he can out of his continually changing rosters. 每个夏天我们都在修改这样的恶性循环 金凯瑞也在持续变动的阵容名单下 证明他撑住球队战绩不会急速坠落的能耐 While it's fun for fans and media to speculate in what makes sense for the Mavericks to do in free agency, the bottom line is that it's Nelson's job to do all the legwork that comes with assessing what realistically can be accomplished during the offseason. 当牛粉和媒体以推敲达拉斯在自由市场的操作为乐 要注意的是小尼要打底一切来达成(在老板的巨头梦下)实际阵容的编制 They have a lot of work to do. 有很多事情要做 "We didn't think we had a 70-win team, so we knew we had holes," Cuban said. "Look, there's no secret sauce. We've got some good young guys. We'll look at them more. We'll look to bring back (some players) and add - the same thing we do every year. And we'll see what happens with our free agents." 我们没有70胜级别的阵容也知道有些坑 我们有些不错的年轻人也寄望他们能做更多 我们会签回并增添一些战力...就像我们一直以来 然後再看看我们在自由市场有何作为 One thing working in the Mavericks' favor is that this summer can't possibly be any worse than last year's, right? 我们只确信今年夏天不会比去年更惨了 应该吧? When Deandre Jordan jilted the Mavericks, it sent the franchise into a tailspin that made it extremely difficult to build a roster that could be competitive in the Western Conference. And by the way, they salvaged things pretty well, all things considered. 当_____背弃达拉斯这让球团陷入困境 极其困难组织一份在西区有竞争力的阵容名单 不过普遍认为制服组的危机处理可圈可点 "It's pretty well-documented that we were put in a really tough position this last summer," Nelson said. "Really had to kind of squeeze blood out of a turnip and create a team from really nothingness because there was really nothing left on the tree when we were notified." 很多证据显示我们去年夏天极其不利 真的是无中生有 毕竟当我们知道(_____背弃达拉斯)时市场已经没有什麽好菜了 Jordan, Dwight Howard, Deron Williams. Those are three big names that the Mavericks have gone after in free agency who spurned them. _____ DH和D-Will都是达拉斯曾追求却被放生的市场大物 It's led to the now-tiresome question of why the Mavericks haven't been able to lure an elite-level player to pair with Dirk Nowitzki in the twilight of his career. 困扰的是到底为什麽没有菁英级别球星愿意跟Dirk搭配 "I don't know," Nelson said. "It certainly hasn't been for lack of trying." 没有人知道 又不是没试过 The list of players who could be instant difference-makers for the Mavericks is short this summer. Howard, who has spent the last three seasons with Houston, will be a free agent. So will Atlanta's Al Horford and Miami's Hassen Whiteside. Any of those three centers would be a major coup if the Mavericks could reel one of them in. 今夏能立即为达拉斯带来改变的球员不多 中锋部分在火箭待了三年的DH 老鹰的活佛 热火的白边 得其一都会是绝妙的好棋 Point guard could be another area of need, pending the dicision of Deron Williams, who can opt out of the final season of his two-year deal. 控卫则是另一个需要补强的位置 D-Will可以选择跳出合约 Memphis' Mike Conley figures to be the most sought-after point guard of the summer. 灰熊的小康利会是今夏最常被询问的名字 All of this presumes that the Mavericks have no shot at the two big fish this summer: Kevin Durant and Lebron James. 但要先说服库班不要花一堆时间在KD和LBJ身上 Nelson's first step is to decipher the locker room as it presently exists. Who is allowed to leave? Who is a major priority to keep? 小尼首先要做的是 决定休息室里谁会收到离开的祝福 谁又是优先要续留的 "We had guys who had no business being out on the basketball court that offered to play (in the playoffs)," Nelson said. "Yeah, we're going to take a look at guys inside our locker room, like we always do. Age is a factor. Injuries are a factor. You have a finite wallet that you can go out and go shopping with. But I can tell you the character of every person we have that locker. I'll climb into a foxhole with those 15 guys anytime." 我们有一群上场就在拼命的家伙 我们会像过去一样检视我们的阵容 年纪和伤病史都是因素 我们只有有限的薪资进行补强 但我可以说这15个球员都是斗士 An educated guess about who among the 15 Mavericks that finished the season on the roster will return could look something like this: 现有的15人可能的暑假动向 肯定回归 Dirk Matthews Barea Anderson Harris Mejri 回归机会大 Parsons Powell McGee 视薪情而定 Felton Williams Pachulia Lee 除非不占薪资空间否则走人 Villanueva Evans Obviously, there won't be 13 players off this roster returning. In each of the last three summers, only about half the roster has been retained. 过去三季通常都只有半数球员隔年回归效力 今年可能也很难期待不用重新磨合 And this doesn't take into account the possibility of a trade. 而且不能排除交易的可能 If the new Sacramento coach and management decide DeMarcus Cousins needs to go - a long shot, for sure - you can be dead certain that the Mavericks will be trying to put a package together. 谁知道小尼手里有没有其他GM的裸照 Barring that, it's another summer of free-agent roulette. 有梦最美希望相随 期待夏天吧 重要日程表 May 11 Draft Combine 寻找新鲜肉体填补(夏季联盟)阵容 June 2 NBA Finals begin 看看争冠球队的阵容应该长怎样 June 22 D-Day 合约跳出截止日 June 23 NBA draft 用46号签让七十亿人都震惊吧 July 1 NBA free-agent negotiations begin 自由市场开市 July 7 Moratorium ends 拜_____所赐今年7号就可以签约了 --
