So with their two leading scorers suspended for 10 and 15 games respectively, as a result of Friday's rumble at the Garden, the Denver Nuggets found a replacement by completing a long-rumored trade with Philadelphia for All-Star guard Allen Iverson yesterday . 俗话说，需要是发明之母。所以当阵中头号、二号得分手因为星期五在纽约麦迪逊花 园广场大乱斗分别被处以15场和10场禁赛处分後，丹佛金块昨天藉由完成传闻已久的全明 星後卫AI交易案来作补强。 The deal sends Iverson and reserve big man Ivan McFarlin to Denver in return for guard Andre Miller, forward Joe Smith, and two first-round draft choices. The Nuggets hope to have "the Answer" in uniform by tonight, when his new team plays host to Phoenix. 这笔交易丹佛送出後卫A.Miller、前锋J.Smith和两个首轮选秀权，换回了战神AI和替 补大个I.McFarlin。金块希望在今晚主场对上最近已经取得15连胜的火热太阳时，AI就能 穿上金块球衣，正式成为黄金战神。 Negotiations had dragged on for nearly two weeks since Iverson first demanded a trade from his only employer in 11 NBA seasons, with several clubs angling to get the former MVP. The Nuggets had the inside track from the get-go because they own two firstround picks in the 2007 draft — considered one of the strongest in years — as well as the contract of Smith, which expires after the season and thus allows Philadelphia to pare expenses. 自从AI向进入联盟11年以来唯一一支效力的母队七六人提出交易的要求以来，有许多 球队都渴望获得这位前年度最有价值球员的加盟，所以整个协商过程持续了将近两个星期 之久。金块从一开始就握有最有利的交易条件，因为他们拥有两个'07年选秀会的第一轮选 秀权 - '07年选秀会被认为是近年来待选球员最优秀的一届 - 另外也因为Smith的合约，他 的合约在本季後就将到期，而费城将可以减少球队的开销。 However, both the Sixers and Nuggets originally had second thoughts about including Miller in the deal — Denver because they preferred to package a less valuable player, and Philadelphia because they wanted a player with fewer years left on his contract. As a result, each side had been exploring other options. The Nuggets were feverishly trying to involve a third team, while the Sixers were hoping to lure better offers from other suitors. 尽管，七六人和金块双方原本都对於是否要将Miller纳入交易案中考虑再三 - 金块部 分是因为他们希望可以不用付出这麽高的交易代价，而七六人方面则是因为他们希望可以 换得一个所剩合约年数较短的球员。结果双方都在找寻其他的交易方式，金块非常努力地 寻求三方交易的可能性，而七六人则是希望可以自其他球队获得更佳的交易条件。 But several teams blanched at Philadelphia's asking price. The Sixers wanted a good player, draft picks, and salary cap relief in the trade. In the end, they had to settle on the best amount of cap relief possible to achieve the other two goals. 但许多球队都在知悉费城开出的交易条件後就打了退堂鼓，七六人希望在交易案中获 得一个好球员、数个选秀权和薪资空间。最终，他们不得不选择了在达到其他两个目标的 前提下所能提供最大薪资空间的球队来进行交易。 Meanwhile, thanks to the vagaries of the league's salary cap, Miller almost had to be included so that Denver's outgoing contract dollars matched the incoming dollars on Iverson's deal. He has two years left on his contract after this one , paying him $19.4 million, but may not be in Philadelphia for long. The veteran guard is a poor fit with the rebuilding Sixers and could be dealt again to an Eastern contender before the trade deadline — which is legal as long as he isn't packaged with another player. 当中，由於联盟独特的薪资规定，Miller几乎是非得被打包不可，否则金块送出的球 员薪资总合没办法和所收进的AI超大张合约打平。他的合约在今年球季後还剩下两年，共 1940万美元，但或许他根本不会在费城待上那麽久的一段时间。这位经验丰富的後卫对於 即将迈入重建过程的七六人并不是那麽合用，而且可能在交易大限日前就会被再度交易至 另一支东区球队 - 只要他不是和另外一位球员一起被打包送走就符合联盟的交易规定。 The two first-round picks are both lottery-protected, and that's not likely to be an issue anyway. The draft choices belong to Denver and Dallas, respectively , and both are likely to be near the top of the standings at year-end. Nonetheless, the three first-round picks — two from the trade plus their own — will help start the Sixers on the long-overdue process of rebuilding one of the league's most talent-starved rosters. Unloading Iverson also presents Philadelphia with a huge dollop of salary cap room in the summer of 2008 to pursue free agents. 不过费城所获得的两个第一轮选秀权都是受乐透保护的，但无论如何，那似乎不是什 麽问题。因为那两个选秀权分别来自於金块和达拉斯小牛，而他们的战绩在年终将近的现 在都还安稳地排在所属分区的前两名。尽管如此，这三个第一轮选秀权 - 两个藉由交易获 得的再加上他们原本就握有的一个 - 将会帮助七六人在遥遥无期的重建过程一开始就有机 会组成一个全联盟数一数二最具有天份的球员阵容。少了AI也代表费城在'08年暑假将握有 钜额的薪资空间可以尽情地对任何一位感兴趣的自由球员开价。 The acquisition was a major coup for the Nuggets, and a timely one. With league-leading scorer Carmelo Anthony suspended for 14 more games and Denver's no. 2 scorer, J.R. Smith, out another nine, the Nuggets desperately needed an offense-minded guard who could pick up the slack and keep them in the hunt in the cutthroat Western Conference. AI的加盟对於金块，尤其是甫爆发打架事件而导致球队主力遭禁赛的金块无疑是一剂 强心剂。暂居联盟得分王的Melo的球监还剩14场，而球队的二号得分手J.R. Smith则剩9场 ，金块迫切需要一名得分能力出色的後卫来度过这个难关并且让球队可以继续在列强环伺 的西区联盟保有一定的竞争力。 When Anthony returns the Nuggets goals' should be much higher, as this figures to be one of the most devastating offensive teams. Anthony and Iverson are the league's top two scorers at the moment, and with several other options at their disposal — ex-Knick Marcus Camby, sharpshooter Smith, and dimunitive guard Earl Boykins, for instance — Denver will try to run-andgun its way to the championship that has thus far eluded The Answer. 当Melo归队後金块的目标应该会比现在高出所多，他们将会成为联盟中进攻火力最强 大的球队之一。Melo和AI是目前联盟得分榜的状元和榜眼，而且球队阵中还有数个可靠的 进攻点 - 例如前尼克球员勉族、外线精准的射手Smith和小巨人孩子王 - 金块将会继续尝 试以未获得AI前成效不彰的跑轰战术来挑战总冠军。 So the Nuggets are the big winners today, but they're not the only ones. The Iverson trade starts a domino effect around the league that produced several other winners and losers. 所以金块是今天的大赢家，但他们并非唯一的赢家。AI交易案将会在联盟中掀起一阵 骨牌效应并导致其他数个赢家和输家的出现。 Let's take a look: 让我们来检视一下吧： --
