Blueprint: Denver Nuggets By Jeff Weltman Scouts Inc. ============================================================================== 2006-07 has been a season of flux for Denver, both on and off the court. 2006-07 对金块来说是个充满变数的赛季，不管是场内还是场外。 The Nuggets were involved in the biggest brawl of the year, executed the biggest trade of the year, followed that up with another significant deal and have only recently begun to settle into a real rhythm that would allow us to gauge the effects of all this activity. 金块陷入过本年度最大的殴斗事件，进行了本年度最大宗的交易，接着又进行了另外一个 重要的交易，而在最近才算是开始进入真正的节奏，让我们能对这些接二连三的事件过後 的效应做一次检视。 At seven games above .500 and having bypassed the Lakers for the No. 6 seed in the West, they are playing their best basketball of the season. They might be playing as well as anyone in the league right now. 超过五成胜率八场 (45W 37L)，并超越湖人站上西区第六种子，金块正打出他们本赛季最 佳的篮球表现。他们现在的状态能与联盟中任何球队一样好。 After March 9, Denver put together a five-game winning streak and an eight-game winning streak. The Nuggets will open against San Antonio in the first round of the playoffs. 3月9日後，金块接连打出5连胜和8连胜的成绩，将在季後赛第一轮硬碰马刺。 ============================================================================== DECISION MAKERS 金块决策者 OWNER: STAN KROENKE FACT SHEET SCORECARD Bought Nuggets for $202 million in 2000 Seasons: 7 Current franchise value: $309 million Playoffs: 4 Owner's net worth: $1.8 billion (as of 2005) Division titles: 1 West titles: 0 NBA titles: 0 Sources: Forbes.com, USAToday.com GM By John Hollinger MARK WARKENTIEN - Vice President of Basketball Operations SCORECARD Seasons: 1 Playoffs: 1 Division Titles: 0 Conference Titles: 0 NBA Titles: 0 BEST MOVE: Trading for J.R. Smith The Nuggets acquired Smith from Chicago in the offseason in a move that essentially cost them nothing (just two second-rounders and reserve guard Howard Eisley). All he's done is establish himself as one of the game's best young shooting guards, averaging 13.0 points a game and shooting 38.9 percent on 3-pointers as a 21-year-old. And he's still on a rookie contract for another year. 最佳运作： J.R. Smith 的交易案 金块在季前把 J.R. Smith 从芝加哥带来丹佛，这个交易基本没有对他们造成任何损失 (只用了两个第二轮选秀权和一个替补後卫 Howard Eisley)。J.R. 所能做的就是把自己 摇身一变成为比赛中最好的年轻得分後卫，以 21 岁的年龄缴出每场平均 13 分和 38.9% 三分球命中率的成绩单。 而且，他还有一年的新秀合约。 WORST MOVE: Trading Ruben Patterson for Joe Smith It's not like Smith was worthless for Denver -- he was part of the package that brought in Allen Iverson -- but his performance pales in comparison to the impact Patterson has had in Milwaukee this season. While Patterson wouldn't have played as much as a Nugget, he really would have helped Denver during Carmelo Anthony's suspension. 最差运作： 用 Ruben Patterson 交易来 Joe Smith 这并不是说 Smith 对金块一点价值也没有 -- 至少他成为引进 AI 的其中一部分 -- 但 若是比较一下他和 Patterson 本季在公鹿的表现，那只能用苍白无色来形容。 虽然 Patterson 作为金块的一员也未必会有多少贡献，但他也许在 Melo 的禁赛期间可以 为金块带来一些帮助。 ============================================================================== ROSTER/SALARIES 明年的球员名单和薪资 NUGGETS TEAM ROSTER 金块队球员名单 Allen Iverson DerMarr Johnson Anthony Carter Pos: G | Age: 31 Pos: GF | Age: 26 Pos: PG | Age: 31 Left: 2 yrs., $39.85M Free Agent N/A Steve Blake J.R.

Smith from Chicago for a pair of 2007 second-round picks. 再加上去年七月他们以两个第二轮选秀权从芝加哥把 JR Smith 交易过来，加深了球员名 单，并解决了缺少射手的问题。 Denver was 13-9 when Anthony was suspended 15 games (along with Smith's 10 games) for his part in a fight vs. the Knicks on December 16. Just three days later Denver executed what was to be the league's biggest deal of the year: It acquired Allen Iverson in exchange for Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two 2007 first-round picks. 金块在 Melo 和 JR 因与尼克斗殴事件而遭到禁赛前的战绩是 13-9，三天後他们做出了 堪称本季最大宗的交易：以 Andre Miller 和 Joe Smith 外加两个第一轮选秀权把 Allen Iverson 从 76 人交易过来。 The Nuggets then mitigated the financial impact of the Iverson trade by trading Earl Boykins, along with Julius Hodge, to Milwaukee for Steve Blake. By Milwaukee's accepting Boykins into a trade exception, Denver was able to reduce its payroll. Blake, while not the scoring threat of Boykins, gave the Nuggets a pass-first point guard alongside its two elite scorers at the wings. 接着金块为了缓和 Iverson 交易案所带来的薪资过高问题，送出 Boykins 和 Hodge，从 公鹿换来 Steve Blake。因为公鹿使用了交易特例来得到 Boykins，所以金块能够从中减 少了部份薪资。Blake 虽然没有 Boykins 的得分能力，但却补上了金块最需要的传球第一 的控球後卫的位置，为队上两名出色的得分高手带来帮助。 Denver is somewhat a moving target in this type of study because we've only recently begun to see a "settled" version of this team -- the Nuggets are 15-6 in their last 21 games after a 13-21 stretch. 金块在我们这类的研究中显得不太稳定，因为我们最近才终於能看到他们整合後的表现。 他们经历了一段 13-21 的挫折後，最近 21 场比赛中取得了 15胜 6负的佳绩。 ============================================================================== THE FUTURE - 球队未来 Its finances, though, are stationary and will figure prominently in their future. Denver is currently about $500,000 below the luxury tax threshold, but with bonuses built into some of its player contracts, there is a strong likelihood of the club exceeding the luxury tax limit this year. 金块的薪资问题将会注定在他们的未来中突显出来。目前金块大约在豪华税门栏50万以下， 然而随着下个赛季一些球员的合约上涨，明年的薪资总额非常有可能超过豪华税的底限。 There are several contributing factors which will make this summer's numbers more precarious: (1) the re-signing Reggie Evans and Nene to significant contracts last summer, (2) turning Joe Smith's expiring contract into a significant portion of Iverson's future salary, (3) the beginning of Anthony's maximum extension and (4) less than $3 million in expiring contracts. 有些因素将左右明年的薪资数目： 1) Reggie Evans 和 Nene 都在上个夏天以高价续约了 2) Joe Smith 的到期合约变成 Iverson 未来的高额薪资 3) Melo 开始领取顶级合约 4) 只有不到 3百万的到期合约 Due to the convergence of these forces, the Nuggets' cap number this summer presently resides above $75 million without factoring in the re-signing of Steve Blake or the application of cap holds. 综合以上的因素，金块这个下夏天的薪资总额将高出 7千5百万，这还不包括重签 Steve Blake 或是薪资冒的应用。 Another significant challenge presents itself in 2008: With little change to the payroll (Eduardo Najera's contract expires, assuming he does not exercise his early termination option following this season, but the escalation of existing contracts largely offsets that reduction), the Nuggets will have to contend with the free agency of J.R. Smith. 2008 年又是另外一次重大的考验: 随着薪资没有得到太大的改善，金块将面对 JR Smith 成为自由球员所带来的续约问题。(Najera 的合约那时候将到期，这里假设 Najera 没有 在今年夏天提前选择跳出合约，那麽他的薪资将会占掉大部分金块想要减少的，因此得不 到太大的改善) While one would imagine Blake is someone they would like to re-sign, the Nuggets might be exploring ways to shed salary before adding any. If recently acquired Von Wafer or Anthony Carter performs well over the summer for the Nuggets, he could prove a low-cost alternative to this summer's free-agent market. 当大家都认为 Blake 是金块必定要重新签下的球员时，金块很可能需要在增加任何薪资 前找寻到其他的方法来减少薪资。如果最近新加入的 Von Wafer 或 Anthony Carter 在 这个夏天表现得不错，那麽他们可能在这个夏天的自由球员市场成为一个较便宜的选择。 Without spending flexibility or draft picks this summer, Denver's improvement will have to come largely from within. This prospect is not all bad when you take into account the following: J.R. Smith is only 21 years old and already has shown extended looks at his enormous potential; second-year forward Linus Kleiza has improved considerably this year and worked himself into the rotation; Anthony was heading for superstardom this season before the brawl disrupted his momentum, and he is recently back on track; Iverson is still new to the team and might not have yet settled into its chemistry and Kenyon Martin's recovery process is on schedule and he is due to return next season. 由於这个夏天缺少了能够灵活运用的资金和选秀权，金块的进步只能大部分取决於自己。 不过他们的前景并不是那麽不乐观的：JR 才 21 岁就已经表现出绝佳的潜力；二年级生 Linas Kleiza 持续进步，并顺利进入轮替阵容之中；Melo 在殴斗事件之前更在本季显示 出超级巨星的能力，而他现在也正式回到轨道中；Iverson 对金块来说还很新鲜，也许还 没正式为球队带来化学效应；Martin 的复健过程都在计画中，下个赛季就能重返赛场。 While spending flexibility and draft picks are always the tools of choice with which to build and grow a team, the Nuggets appear to have several internal means to improve. 透过灵活的交易和选秀权一直是建立和培养一只球队的方法，而金块本身却仍然有一些能 够进步的方式。 Kenyon Martin, whose season was in essence over before it began this year due to microfracture surgery on his knee, largely has been the forgotten element amidst all the change in Denver. Martin, one of the league's premier role players, was cast into a leading role due to his seven-year, $92 million contract and the fact that Anthony had yet to emerge as a legitimate star. Kenyon Martin 本季因为膝盖的手术而使他的赛季实际上还没开始就结束了，所以在金块 本季众多变化中被大部分人所遗忘。实际上 Martin 仍然是联盟中顶级的角色球员，由於 他那 7年 9千2百万的肥约，所以应该要把他当作球队的领导角色之一来看待。事实上Melo 也正在成长成一个合格的球星。 But with the emergence of Anthony and the addition of Iverson, Martin is no longer the most highly-paid, high-profile player on the team. Rather, he slots in where he should on an elite team. When at his best, Martin played alongside Jason Kidd, Kerry Kittles and Richard Jefferson in a high-profile but nonetheless supporting role -- he guarded the best frontline player, provided offensive rebounding, created fast-break lanes and added the occasional "SportsCenter"-worthy athletic play in crunch time. 但随着 Melo 的日渐成长和 AI 的加入，Martin 再也不是球队中最高薪最重要的球员了。 宁愿他成为这只出色球队中能随时融入任何需要他位置的角色。当他最佳状态的时候， Martin 是在 Jason Kidd,Kerry Kittles 和 Richard Jefferson 身边扮演重要地位的角 色球员，他需要防守对方最好的内线球员，拼抢进攻篮板，制造快攻机会和偶尔登上 "SportsCenter"，在关键时刻做出有价值的贡献。 The Nuggets' roster, three years removed from sign-and-trading for Martin, now allows him to step back into that role -- in fact, it begs for an athletic, defensive-oriented player like him. 马丁通过先签後换而来到金块已经三年，金块现在的阵容正允许他投入这样的角色，实际 上金块正需要他这种充满运动能力和防守热情的球员。 George Karl, but as Denver settles into a long-range chemistry over the summer, the success of Martin could be significant in determining the success of the Nuggets. Karl 和 Martin 的关系经过夏天长时期的化学效应後，Martin 的成功将成为金块成功中 的重要依据。 The Iverson trade raised the stakes in Denver. With a payroll that will be difficult to suppress over the coming seasons, the Nuggets quickly have transitioned from a cap-room and draft-pick club to a club committed deeply to a win-now strategy. Iverson 的交易案提升了金块的目标。由於薪资问题在接下来的赛季很难得到解决，金块 迅速的从一个拥有足够薪资空间和选秀权的球队变身成为一个以迫切需要达到成功为战略 的球队。 While the initial results did not equal the payroll implications, it is very early in the process to truly evaluate this team, and the Nuggets are peaking at the right time. Denver clearly is equipped with the star power to be dangerous in the playoffs if their chemistry coalesces. 然而薪资问题的影响现阶段并不等於成绩，现在能真正影响到球队运作的情况还算太早， 且金块在正确的时刻达到了巅峰。金块很显然是一个充满了明星效益的球队，若是他们的 化学效应能整合成功，他们在季後赛将是一个危险的球队。 With 31-year-old Allen Iverson's contract set to expire following the 2008-09 season, and 33-year-old Marcus Camby's the following season, Denver's timeline is clearly defined. As things presently stand, they have this season and two more to maximize their talent and pursue a championship. 31 岁的 AI 的合约将在 2008-09年到期，33 岁的 Camby 的合约也将在隔年到期，金块 的时间表已经确定了。现阶段来看，他们可以在本赛季和接下来的两年内尽可能的发挥最 大的天份，并全力追求最终的总冠军。 Scouts Inc.
