Jones 想要再次感谢溜马队，这回是因为把他送到凤凰城，让他得 以在太阳队的全场开放、快节奏进攻系统中打球。 "I couldn't ask for a better situation," Jones said. "It's any player's dream to be able to play in a wide-open system where the coach lets you expand your game. I'm happy to be here, and I'm getting an opportunity to play." 「我无法再要求到更好的情况了，」 Jones说。「能在全场开放系 统中打球是任何球员的梦想，教练让你扩展球赛。我很高兴来到这里 ，而我也得到上场机会。」 Playing is something Jones probably wouldn't have done much of this season with the Pacers because of their depth. A loaded roster and lack of money forced the Pacers to send Jones to the Suns in a sign-and-trade deal in late August. The Pacers got a second-round pick in 2008. Jones signed a four-year deal worth about $11 million. 要是 Jones本季留在溜马队，上场打球可能不会太多，因为他们的 深度。球员名单爆表以及金钱不足迫使溜马队在八月底以先签後换方 式把Jones送到太阳队。溜马队获得一枚2008年第二轮选秀权。Jones 签下一纸为期四年，价值在1100万元左右的合约。 "It was very tough to do because I liked him as a kid and as a player," Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said. "I saw our salary was too high and we weren't going to be able to offer him a good deal. There were a couple of teams that had a lot of interest in him." 「要这麽做很难，因为我喜欢他，把他当成是个孩子和球员看待， 」溜马队CEO Donnie Walsh说。我知道我们的薪资太高而将不能提供 他一张好合约。有两支球队对他有高度兴趣。」 "I was happy and sad to leave Indiana," Jones said. "At the same time, I was coming to a team that was welcoming me. I was very grateful that Donnie and (team president) Larry Bird were able to make it happen for me. The rest is history." 「我离开印第安那时悲喜参半，」 Jones说。「於此同时，我来到 一支欢迎我的球队。我很感激Donnie和(球队总裁)Larry Bird能为我 做这个安排。剩下的大家都知道了。」 Jones has started eight games for the Suns. He is averaging 9.6 points and making 41 percent of his 3-pointers. Jones 在太阳队先发了8场。他平均得分9.6分，而他的三分球命中 率有41%。 ------------------------------------------------------------ Haircut restrictions in Utah 犹他的发禁 Pacers forward Ron Artest should be happy he isn't playing for Jerry Sloan because the Utah Jazz coach wouldn't allow him to have "TruWarier," his nickname and the name of his recording label, shaved into his head. 溜马队前锋Ron Artest应该庆幸他不是在 Jerry Sloan麾下打球， 因为这位犹他爵士队教练将不会允许他把他的绰号和他的唱片公司的 名字「TruWarier」刻在他的头上。 "We don't allow guys to write things on their shoes," Sloan said in Wednesday's Salt Lake Tribune. "I'm not going to say we've made rules about all these things, but (hair like Artest's would) probably not (be allowed)." 「我们不允许球员们在他们的鞋上写东西，」Sloan在Wednesday's Salt Lake Tribune 说。「我们不会去说我们订定了有关这些事物的 规则，但是(像Artest那种头发将)大概是不(被允许的)。」 Sloan, the longest-tenured coach in the NBA, pointed out that it's none of his business how other coaches run their teams. NBA中任期最久的教练Sloan指出其他教练们如何运作他们的球队不 关他的事。 ------------------------------------------------------------ Etc. 有的没的 Artest signed a multiyear, multimillion dollar endorsement deal with k1x, a footwear and clothing line based in Germany.
