SHAREEF HAS ROD CAUTIOUS By FRED KERBER -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 10, 2005 -- Rod Thorn remembers Ricky Sobers. So, when by all indications Shareef Abdur-Rahim was utterly impressed with New Jersey and the Nets, when the 6-9 free-agent power forward says money will not be the deciding factor, Thorn remembers Ricky Sobers. -当所有的指标指出RAHIM完全对纽泽西 和篮网印象相当好的时候，Rod Thorn记得Ricky Sobers这个人 "I've been around too long to start feeling good about these things," the Nets' president said. "You just never know. Somebody under the cap could come in and make an enticing offer." -我已经很久没有对这种事情感到快乐了，我从不知道，有人低於薪资空间 可以来并且为你效力。THORN说。 Thorn recalled 1979 when he was GM of the Bulls pursuing Sobers, a free-agent guard. Thorn had a verbal agreement. Or so he thought. -Thorn回忆1979年当他是公牛队GM时，正在想办法签下Sobers，这位自由球员後卫。 当时Thorn有个口头上签约的同意，或者是他自己这麽认为的。 "While he was on the plane [to Chicago] allegedly he got another offer. The agent called and said he had changed his mind," said Thorn. "Look at last year with Drew Gooden. He was supposed to have a deal with Cleveland and wound up in Utah. This stuff happens." -据说当他在要飞向芝加哥的飞机上时拿到另一份合约。他的经纪人表示 他改变了他的心意。THORN这样说。 看着去年DREW GOODEN被认为要和爵士续约时，他却和骑士签了约。 这事情发生了。 Sobers wound up in Chicago (for more money than originally agreed upon), but that doesn't mean Thorn and the Nets are celebrating over Abdur-Rahim. They did everything they could for him and his wife, Dee, during a two-day visit. The couple saw schools and homes; they dined in Manhattan and at Jason Kidd's house. And that was after Nets coach Lawrence Frank flew to Atlanta to recruit Abdur-Rahim, who still has visits to Miami and Sacramento planned. -Sobers伤害了芝加哥（为了更多钱），但那并不表示THORN和篮网在庆祝RAHIM。 他们做了任何可以为了他和他老婆DEE的事情。两天的旅程。 夫妇看了学校和房子，他们去MANHATTAN餐厅吃牛排，去KIDD的房子。 并且FRANK飞到亚特兰大游说依然有去迈阿密和沙加缅度意愿的RAHIM。 Abdur-Rahim said he would decide by the end of the week, but it sounded like the Nets were leading. -Rahim说他会在这个礼拜结束前决定，不过听起来篮网像是处在领先地位的。 "They really are a great overall situation: Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson, plus Rod Thorn. The direction he has taken that team since he got there is terrific. And I know what Lawrence is about," Abdur-Rahim said of Frank, who was an assistant in Vancouver when both were with the Grizzlies. "Everything was so nice and you have the city right there." -Rahim对篮网的看法是这样：他们有极好的总状态，有kidd, carter, jefferson还有 thorn。他把球队带到一个极好的地方。而我了解劳伦斯(frank)。 任何事情都是很好的，而且你在那边有一个城市。 If the Nets can work a sign-and-trade with Portland for Abdur-Rahim using their $4.9 million trade exception, Heat guard Keyon Dooling, who they see as another piece for their depth issues, should follow. But first they must secure Abdur-Rahim. -假如nets可以和波特兰来个先签後换，使用它们的4.9M TE，那麽dooling将是另一块 增强深度的拼图。不过他们必须确定rahim。 And Thorn knows it's not done 'til it's done. Just remember Ricky Sobers. -Thorn认为，事情并没有结束直到他真正结束了。就像想起Ricky Sobers。 http://www.nypost.com/sports/nets/49858.htm --
