And at least to a degree, they're right. By acquiring Allen Iverson in their blockbuster deal earlier this month, the Nuggets escalated their committed salary to an elite level, approximately $80 million entering the 2007-08 season. So we can expect that one of their primary goals was to shed salary by the trade deadline. 有人认为，这只是一桩金钱交易，至少从某种程度而言，他们是对的。本月初，一桩惊天 交易後，AI来到了科罗拉多，掘金的薪金总额大副提升，到2007-08赛季将达到8000万美元 左右。所以说，这桩交易的主要目的之一是缩减薪金 By moving Earl Boykins into the exception created in Milwaukee by Bobby Simmons' season-ending injury, they were able to subtract Boykins's salary completely. Julius Hodge's salary is a near-match with Steve Blake's. 把Boykins交易到由Bobby Simmons整季报销而创造伤病特例的密尔沃基，这样丹佛就完全 解决了他的薪水问题，因为Hodges和Blake的薪金是基本对等的。 But that's not to say that this deal held no basketball appeal for Denver. With the high-powered trio of Iverson, Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith figuring to dominate the ball, Boykins -- another player who thrives with the ball in his hands -- was facing a diminished role on the team. 但若说此交易对丹佛就篮球而言毫无意义，那你们就错了。有了全新的三个火枪手AI ，Melo和J.R.Smith的强力组合，另一位也想持球的小Boy，就面临下岗失业的危险了。 Blake, on the other hand, is a back-up, pass-first point guard, something the Nuggets wanted. But he's not only a pass-first point guard -- he's also a pass-quickly point guard. Blake's willingness to get rid of the rock quickly has made him a good teammate over several stops in his short career. Blake却是掘金急需的传球第一的替补控卫，而且Blake非但视传球为己任，而且传球也很 及时。尽管入行短短几年，但他却深受队友喜爱。 He is not a player looking to shake down his defender, spin into lane and the dish it to a big man. He isn't looking to score off the pick-and-roll. He tries to advance the ball quickly with the pass in transition, feed the post, draw and kick off the pick-and-roll, and swing the ball quickly before the defense is locked into him. With the Nuggets having so many players whose energies are boosted by touching the ball, Blake will be a welcome addition in that respect. Blake不是那种善於突破防守队员，杀入禁区，再分给内线的球员，也不是利用挡拆得分 的队员。他更多的是在转移中迅速将球传给内线，抑或档拆後，在防守队员扑上来之前将 球处理掉。掘金好些可以持球进攻的队员，那麽Blake就是人见人爱的好球员！ Now, can Blake regain the shooting stroke that he had before he got to Milwaukee? He's a career 37.7 percent shooter from 3-point range, but with the Bucks he was shooting only 27.9 percent from long distance. In the past, his ability to knock down the 3 would open entry-passing angles, spread the floor and keep the defense honest on the pick-and-roll. 问题是：他能否恢复到去雄鹿之前的手感呢？他职业生涯三分命中率高达37.7%，而到密 尔沃基後降至27.9%。过去，他投射三分的能力不得不让防守队员扩大盯防区域。 On the other end, while he doesn't have the speed and quickness to harass ball handlers the way Boykins can when Boykins is of a mind to do so, Blake is long and alert defensively. On a team loaded with gambling defenders who like to roam off the ball and switch frequently, a solid, stay-at-home defender on the ball might be welcome. 由於速度，敏捷等身体条件的制约，Blake无法象Boykins那样头脑一热就去抄截机会不太 好的球，因此，Blake的防守显得更加稳健。在有几名队员经常进行赌博式防守的掘金阵 中，中规中矩的Blake可能要更受欢迎。 There are two considerations that should concern Denver: depth and tempo. Boykins, as he recently has demonstrated, is about as good an insurance policy as will be found in the league. The Nuggets haven't been playing great ball since Anthony and Smith were suspended for fighting, but without the offense provided by Boykins to pair up with Iverson's, they would have struggled to win a game during the "Suspension Era." 现在有两件事是丹佛必须认真考虑的：板凳深度和比赛节奏。Boykins在最近的比赛中很 强势，自从Melo和J.R.Smith因打架禁赛後，掘金就没有打过好球，而如果没有“後场双 矮”──AI和Boykins的强劲火力，他们甚至都不会在这段时期拿下一场胜利。 With the Iverson deal, the Nuggets have taken an already uptempo team and thrown all their assets towards an open-court, offensive-minded style of play, and this is Boykins' area of expertise. Boykins is a player who provides points to a depleted roster, a jolt of energy when one of your key players is having an off night. He is amongst the best in the league at changing the game with his ability to control the tempo -- when he is at his best, the other nine players react to him. 随着AI的到来，掘金的比赛节奏已经改变了，他们将所有精力都放在了开放式进攻上，而 这却是Boykins所擅长的。当队中的核心队员形如梦游时，正是Boykins挺身而出的时刻。 他是全联盟最能改变比赛节奏的球员，当他手热得发烫时，篮球──是一个人的，场上其 他九名队员都是配角。 History has proven that, in limited minutes, Boykins is a tremendous scorer and game-changer. He started the season in a slump, but as the season has progressed, he has found his range, having shot close to 40 percent on 3s for the past six weeks. 历史证明如是：在有限的时间内，Boykins是可怕的得分手，也是改变比赛局势的人。经 过了赛季初的低迷後，随着赛程的进行，他也找到了自己的位置，近六周来场均三分命中 率更是近40%。 If everything breaks just right for Denver -- Blake regains his stroke, and Iverson, Smith and Melo stay healthy -- then Blake's pass-first and pass-quickly style could help the club. But if there are bumps in the road -- and in the NBA you expect and plan for bumps in the road -- Denver will miss Boykins. 如果上帝保佑丹佛──Blake重拾手感，新三个火枪手都保持健康，那麽Blake这样的球员 将使球队收益匪浅。但若非如此，实际上NBA中总有许多不如意──那麽我们将会时常想念 Boykins的。 Milwaukee is clinging to the last playoff spot in the East and has suffered recent injuries to their two leading scorers, Michael Redd and Mo Williams, both backcourt players. With Redd out 4-6 weeks and Williams at least two, they clearly need to find a way to score points and remain in the hunt until they get healthy. Blake is a solid set-up type who is most effective playing alongside scorers. With both starters out and Blake's minutes about to expand, his 3.6 points per game average in 17.6 minutes this year didn't project to address the team's deficiencies. 密尔沃基则努力坚守着东区季後赛的最後一个席位（现在第10了），但球队两大得分手 Michael Redd和Mo Williams却相继受伤，况且，他们都是後场队员。Redd需要休养4-6周 ，而Williams则至少两周，在此期间，他们显然需要一名能够得分的後场队员。在身边有 得分手时，Blake的效率极高，但是当後场双星都缺阵，Blake的上场时间显着增加时，你 就别把豆包当干粮了。他今年场均17.6分钟得3.6分的效率对现在的雄鹿而言实在是杯水 车薪。 The Bucks have the added consideration of being positioned to realize significant cap room this summer. With their medical exception for Bobby Simmons expiring at week's end, they were likely looking to fix their short-term problem without negatively impacting their long-term cap positioning. 雄鹿要考虑的还有今年夏天的薪金空间。雄鹿因为Simmons受伤而获得的430万伤病特例本 周即将到期，他们显然青睐即能解决燃眉之急，又不影响长期工资结构的方案。 So they were seeking a player who was (a) available immediately, (b) making a salary that would fit into the exception and (c) able to provide an immediate punch to their backcourt scoring. In Boykins they add a player who addresses each of these needs. 所以他们要找的队员必须具备以下条件：A，立即能得到的；B，在伤病特例工资内的；C ，能为後场得分带来立竿见影的效果。 The cap implications, though, weren't completely resolved. Boykins has a player option on his final year, at $3 million. At age 30, it would appear logical that Boykins would look for a new deal providing him security over the remainder of his career, but there is no way to absolutely predict the free-agent market. 工资帽的问题还没有完全解决，Boykins有球员优先选择权，年薪300万。在而立之年， Boykins选择去一支球队以结束职业生涯也是合情入理的，但我们没办法对交易市场说三 道四，那实在是不可预料的。 Hodge is on the final year of his rookie deal and will be an unrestricted free agent following this season. The Nuggets, in paying the remainder of his contract, actually saved themselves the full value of his contract, being that they are a tax team and every extra dollar on their payroll is doubled. The Bucks will have a free look at Hodge. Hodge则在新秀合同的最後一年，并将在下赛季成为非限制性自由球员。尽管掘金要支付 他剩余的合同，实际上则省下了他的所有薪水，因为掘金的薪金总额在工资帽之上，奢侈 税让他们的超出部分加倍。而雄鹿则免费得到了Hodge。 The trade might benefit both teams. Denver added a pass-first player to a star-laden roster. Milwaukee replaced a non-scorer with a scorer. 这笔交易很可能是双赢的。掘金为一帮炮手找来了输送炮弹的人，雄鹿则用不会得分的队 员换来了得分手。 --
