http://0rz.net/171Ao Pacers' goal: Get faster Bird will work to reshape team in free agency period By Mike Wells [email protected] Larry Bird didn't have to watch Dallas or Phoenix in the playoffs to learn what it would take for the Indiana Pacers to become a title contender again. He said he'd seen the future two years ago. 大鸟没有观看小牛或是太阳的季後赛去学习如何使球队再度成为劲旅。 他说他已经在两年之前就看到未来。 That's why the team president now is trying to remake the Pacers,underachievers as a half-court-oriented squad last year, into a longer, faster team that can keep up with the best. 这就是为何球队总裁现在要尝试改造，去年的半场小组引导是成效不佳的， 进入一个高大且快速的队型可以达到最佳化。 The first step came Wednesday when they picked up Shawne Williams and James White in the NBA draft. "Athletic" is the first word generally associated with both. 第一步骤就是周三当他们挑选了Williams以及White在选秀会上。 "活力的"是通常与两者有关的第一个字。 The next step begins today with the start of the free agency period 下一步就是今天开始的自由球员时期。 "There's no question that's the direction we want to go," Bird said. "We want long guys that are athletic and interchangeable. That's just the way it is. I noticed the change a couple of years ago. If we ever got to the NBA Finals, we wouldn't be able to play (such teams). We can't keep the games in the 70s and 80s." "毫无疑问的那是我们应该走的方向"，大鸟说。"我们想要高大的家伙，拥有活力与 可互换的。那就是应该如此的方向。我注意改变已经两年以上了，如果我们曾经进入 到决赛，我们不能够再打相同的比赛类型，我们不能保持跟70年代与80年代一样的比 赛方式。 The new salary cap, to be announced before July 11, is expected to increase from last season's $49.5 million, but the Pacers will still be over it. They will have the mid-level exception of around $5 million and the bi-annual exception ($1.7 million) available. 新的薪资上限将在11号宣布，预期会比上球季的4千9百50万还多，但是溜马将仍然超过此 。他们将有约500万的中产以及1百70万的两年一次特例可以运用。*注1 "We're going to be active as much as we can," CEO Donnie Walsh said. "We're trying to get this team to play a different way next year. 我们将会积极地去做比我们所能的更多，Walsh说。"下个球季我们会尝试去使球队 打不同的型态比赛 Given their limited financial flexibility, the Pacers aren't expected to be in the running for any of the high-priced free agents. Bonzi Wells and Jared Jefferies are possibilities. Former Pacer Al Harrington is, too, if they can't re-sign Peja Stojakovic. But it would take a sign-and-trade to re-acquire Harrington. 提供他们财务限制上的弹性，溜马不能期望去追逐任何高价位的自由球员， Bonzi以及Jefferies是比较有可能的。前溜马球员哈宝宝也是，如果他们不能签下Peja， 但可以透过先签後换再次获得哈宝宝。 The first day players can sign contracts is July 12. 12号是球员可以签约的第一天。 In-house, the Pacers' top priority is re-signing Stojakovic. The small forward wants to return to the team, but his agent, David Bauman, said earlier this week that they will to listen to other offers. The Pacers can sign Stojakovic, who averaged 19.5 points in 40 games with Indiana, to a deal of up to six years , while other teams can only offer a five-year contract. 溜马球队内部的最高准则是签下Peja，这位小前锋想要重新回到球队， 但是他的经纪人D.B本周稍早说过，他们将会去听取其他球队的提议。 溜马可以签下Peja用一张为期6年的合约，其他球队只能提供5年的合约。 Shooting guard Fred Jones is a restricted free agent, which means the Pacers can match any offer made to him. But that could be high, as many consider it a weak shooting guard market, and the Pacers probably won't match anything near the midlevel exception. 得分後卫Freddie是受限制自由球员，那意味溜马可以配合任何提议去完成签约， 但那可能会过高， 当多数认为那是个弱得分後卫市场时，且溜马可能无法配合任何接 近中产薪资的提议。 Center Scot Pollard and point guard Eddie Gill are unrestricted free agents. There's a chance Pollard could return; Gill probably won't. 中锋波拉德跟控卫Gill是非限制自由球员，波拉德有机会重回队伍，Gill则掰掰。 The Pacers also will explore trade options to improve the chemistry on and off the court. Team officials have repeatedly said All-Star forward Jermaine O'Neal will not be involved, however. 溜马也将会探询问合交易选择去改善场内外的化学作用。然而球队高层不断强调 全明星前锋小欧不会包含在交易案内。 "We look at trades every year, but this year we are looking very hard to see what we can do," Walsh said. "There's no one player we are singling out to trade; we are just trying to put together a team that can have good chemistry on the court. We want chemistry that's better on the court than what we saw last year." "我们每年不断关注交易案，但今年我们将非常努力去看看我们能做的"，Walsh说。 "没有任何球员是不能被交易的，我们将尝试去推动使球队更紧密，在场上拥有良好的 化学作用。我们想要在场上看到比去年更佳的化学组合。 It wouldn't be surprising if the Pacers tried to trade one of their point guard trio of Jamaal Tinsley, Anthony Johnson and Sarunas Jasikevicius. 那不需要惊讶，如果溜马尝试去交易３个控卫中的任何一个。 Tinsley, considered the best of the three and the starter when healthy, has battled near-constant injuries and illnesses the past three seasons. Johnson showed his value when he averaged 20 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds while outplaying New Jersey's Jason Kidd in the playoffs. 小汀被认为是３人之中最棒的先发当他健康时，过去的３个球季时常与受伤为伍。 强哥展现他的价值当季後赛与接生小子放对时。 Austin Croshere is also a candidate to be traded due to the logjam at forward, and because he's entering the final year of his contract. 战警也是被交易的候选人，由於锋线上的爆满以及因为他准备要要进入合约年。 注１："Bi-annual" Exception (两年一次特例)(以前的"Million Dollar" Exception)： 2005-06球季Bi-annual exception为167万美元。以後的球季则每年增加4.5%。 依据旧协议使用此特例的效力仍在，因此，在2004-05球季使用此特例的球队， 在2005-06球季无权行使Bi-annual exception。 http://family.saycoo.com/viewthread.php?tid=61288 上述网页关於劳资协定有完整的介绍(05-06球季)，新版本11号才会出炉。 -- 部落格 - 只需要认识我的文字 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/indypacers --
