原文 : http://tinyurl.com/pdpr88k Orlando Magic could be 'very active' in free agency When the NBA's 2015 free agency period begins Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., much of the attention will focus on where Marc Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Love will go and how the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks will attempt to harness their abundant salary-cap space. 当2015年的自由球员市场在星期三的12点01分开始时，很多的焦点会摆在 灰熊的小加索、拓荒者的阿基基跟骑士的爱他们会去哪， 而一些拥有充足薪资空间的球队，如波士顿赛尔提克、洛杉矶湖人跟纽约尼克 将会大肆血拼一番。 Nationally, the Orlando Magic are almost out of sight, out of mind. 魔术几乎是被大家忽视跟遗忘。 And, yet, the days ahead will be crucial to the Magic's rebuilding efforts. The team will enter free agency with perhaps $15.2 million of cap space available and a key decision to make about one of their own players, restricted free agent-to-be Tobias Harris. 然而，在这天之前，魔术的重建成果将非常重要 球队大约有一千五百万的薪资空间可以运用在自由市场 有一个关键是队上的一位受限自由球员-Tobias Harris "If there is a free agent out there that we feel makes sense for us and it's going to cost a lot of money to sign him, we will go ahead and spend the money," Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. "But it's all relative to the opportunities. We're not just going to spend to spend. But if there's someone to spend on, we certainly will." "如果有一个自由球员值得我们去花大钱签下他，我们当然会毫不犹豫" 魔术总管Hennigan说 "但这些都是看机会的，我们不会因为要花钱而花钱，但如果有人值得，我们当然会"u[m After back-to-back-to-back seasons of 20, 23 and 25 wins, the Magic's on-court deficiencies are obvious. The team must improve markedly on defense. Orlando also needs more players who are proficient on both ends of the court, and the team would benefit from adding at least one veteran in the prime of his career who can help win close games. 在连续三季只取得20、23、25场胜利之後，魔术在场上所不足的地方已经很明显了。 球队必需改善防守。 魔术也需要更多熟悉球场两端的球员， 以及至少加入一位能够在比分接近时赢得胜利的老将 Free agency could allow the franchise to improve in those areas — and Hennigan said it's possible the Magic will be "very active" once Wednesday arrives and once the collective bargaining agreement permits teams to begin signing free agents on July 9. 自由球员中可能满足魔术的需求，而总管说一旦星期三到来时 魔术可能会"非常活跃"，也许会在7月9日开始签下一些自由球员 It does seem unlikely, however, that the Magic will enter the sweepstakes for Gasol, Aldridge or Love. All three of those All-Stars currently play for winning teams, and the collective bargaining agreement gives teams advantages to re-sign their own free agents. 然而，这不代表魔术能够签下像小加索或阿基基这种大咖，他们都是想去常胜球队打球 这表示魔术能够重签下一些原本的自由球员。 The Magic have the benefit of operating in a warm-weather state without state income taxes. But, at the same time, how willing would a perennial All-Star be to join a team that has posted one of the NBA's worst records for three consecutive seasons? 魔术的优势在於气候温暖及没有州的收入税。但同时，要怎样让一个常年是全明星的球员 愿意加入一支近三季有最差记录的球队呢? Last summer, the Magic were able to sign unrestricted power forward Channing Frye to a four-year deal worth a total of $32 million. In order to attract Frye, the Magic had to offer him a fully guaranteed fourth season — something few, if any, other teams were willing to do. 去年夏天，魔术以四年总额3千2百万签下C.Frye，为了吸引他，魔术祭出第四年全整的 合约。 It's unclear how much cap space the Magic will have. The exact amount will depend on whether the team makes one or more moves to free up more money. The team would cut $4.5 million out of its 2015-16 cap figure if it waives shooting guard Ben Gordon on or before Wednesday. 还不清楚魔术会有多少的薪资空间，这取决於球队的决定 如果在星期三把B.Gordon给挥弃的话，会多出450万。 Without Gordon, the Magic would have approximately $14.6 million in salary-cap space if they sign first-round draft pick Mario Hezonja before July 9 and about $15.2 million in salary-cap space if they wait to sign Hezonja until later in the month. 没有Gordon，魔术将会有接近1460万的空间(如果在7月9日前签下Hezonja) 若是等到这之後才签下Hezonja，球队将会有1520万的空间。 (以下解释为啥签约时间的不同会差到60几万) What accounts for the discrepancy of $623,580? The minute the Magic selected Hezonja fifth overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, a salary of $3,117,900 automatically started to count toward the Magic's 2015-16 cap figure. But almost all teams sign their first-round picks to up to 120 percent of the salaries specified in the collective bargaining agreement. So Hezonja's first-year salary will be $3,741,480. The Magic's possible cap figures of $14.6 million or $15.2 million take into account the cap holds for Harris and fellow restricted free agent-to-be Kyle O'Quinn and unrestricted free agent Willie Green. The figures also assume the Magic will not waive Devyn Marble or Dewayne Dedmon, whose salaries for 2015-16 are unguaranteed. 魔术的薪资空间足够签下Harris跟一些受限的自由球员-K.O'Quinn及非受限球员W.Green 魔术将不会丢掉Marble跟Dedmon. The Magic could pursue a shot-blocker in free agency. 魔术可能会签下一个能防射手的球员 "I think rim protection is an area we still need to address," Hennigan said. "However, we fully expect to be a better defensive team next year just with the players that are already on the roster. We expect to see a sizable uptick in our defensive abilities next season." 总管期待下一季将会成为一支防守较棒的球队 The power forward position is the weakest position on Orlando's roster, even though Aaron Gordon and Harris are combo forwards who can play at that spot when opponents don't have especially rugged power forwards on the court. 大前锋将会是魔术比较弱的一环，即使有A.Gordon跟Harris在 All-Star power forward Paul Millsap would be an ideal fit for Orlando (although he's not a rim protector). The Magic attempted to acquire him from the Utah Jazz prior to the 2012-13 season. But it seems unlikely Millsap would want to sign with the Magic given that he plays for the Atlanta Hawks, one of the league's top teams. 明星前锋Paul Millsap也许适合魔术(虽然他不是一个好的rim protetor) 本来在2012-13球季有机会签下他，不过显示他更想要去老鹰这样顶尖的球队。 Harris' situation will be fascinating. He's expected to draw interest from the Knicks and perhaps the Celtics and the Lakers, but the Magic will have the right to match any offer sheet Harris might sign with another team. Harris也许对尼克、超赛或是湖人有兴趣，不过魔术能匹配任何报价 But what if another team offers Harris a maximum-salary contract? Would the Magic's glut of players at the wing spots make him expendable? 不过如果他们开出顶薪呢?魔术愿意在锋线已经很多人的情况下花大钱签下他吗? Hennigan continues to indicate he expects Harris to be a member of the Magic in 2015-16. "We have every intention to bring Tobias back," Hennigan said. 总管说，我们倾向把Tobias留下来。 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 太久没翻，翻的乱七八糟，如有错麻烦请各位指正，谢谢阿。 -- Magic will always be magic --
