Except... 溜马在选秀夜并没做太多的事，除了… Get much quicker, adding T.J. Ford, a speedy, explosive point guard, in the soon-to-be-consummated trade with the Toronto Raptors. The Pacers haven't had this much quickness at the point since Travis Best -- and even mentioning Best here is a bit of a stretch to make the point. 变得更快，找来了 T.J. Ford，一个快速，具爆炸性的控球後卫，在即将成真的 和多伦多暴龙的交易里头。溜马在 Travis Best之後很久没有这麽快的控球後卫 了--而即使在这儿谈到 Best 都有点扯得太远了。 Add lots of future salary cap flexibility, ridding themselves of Jermaine O'Neal's contract. Then, by acquiring useful center Rasho Nesterovic, they got the all-important expiring contract, one more year at $8.4 million. 摆脱了小欧的合约，增加了许多未来薪资空间的弹性。接着，拿到了有用的中锋 Rasho Nesterovic，而最重要的是他剩下一年 840万的到期合约。 Make Jamaal Tinsley, the Guard Who No Longer Exists, completely expendable. If the Pacers have to buy him out and eat the salary, they'll do it. Suddenly, there's a logjam at point guard. Forty-eight hours ago, could you have imagined? 这让 Jamaal Tinsley ，已经不存在的後卫，变得完全可以放弃。即使溜马必须 要买断然後吞下他剩下的薪资，他们也会这麽干。刹那间，控卫这个位置挤满了 人。在 48 小时之前，你能想像得到吗？ Get deeper and more durable at the point, adding fourth-year player Jarrett Jack in a trade with Portland. At 6-3, Jack is much bigger than the 5-11 Ford and gives Indiana a stronger defensive presence on the perimeter. In three years, he has averaged 27 minutes, 9.5 points and 4.0 assists per game. Plus, he's cheap, making $2 million this year before becoming a restricted free agent. 从波特兰找来了四年级生 Jarrett Jack ，让控球的位置变得更深，更持久。身 高有 6-3，Jack比起 5-11 的 Ford 要大得多，也让溜马在外围增添了一名强壮 的防守生力军。在这三年当中，他平均出赛 27 分钟，得 9.5 分 4.0 助攻。而 且，他很便宜，在这个赛季成为受限自由球员之前只要两百万。 Get bigger, much bigger, getting a true center by drafting Roy Hibbert out of Georgetown with the 17th pick. 在 17 顺位选了乔治城的 Roy Hibbert，让球队体型变大了很多，得到一名真正 的中锋。 Yeah, he's slow, real slow, and you wonder how he'll fit offensively into coach Jim O'Brien's system. But he's 7-2, and with O'Neal gone, the Pacers desperately needed size. 没错，他很慢，真的很慢，而你会怀疑他是否能配合教头 Jim O'Brien的攻击战 术。但他有 7-2，而在小欧走人之後，溜马确实亟需大个子。 And finally, add Brandon Rush, the scoring guard/small forward whose development will be closely monitored next to Portland's Jerryd Bayless, the player originally chosen by the Pacers and then dealt to Portland. (Unofficially, of course.) 而最後，Brandon Rush，一名 SG/SF，未来的发展将被密切观察，拿来和波特兰 的 Jerryd Bayless 做比较--一名溜马本来选了然後送到波特兰的球员 (当然， 目前为止还是非官方的。) Other than that, it was a quiet night. 除了这些，这是个平静的夜晚。 The craziest thing, though, was that team president Larry Bird couldn't even talk about his moves because both the Toronto and Portland trades involved "base year compensation'' players, which means the deals can't be completed until July 9. The Pacers lobbied the league to tell its fans about the new players, but the NBA shot them down, threatening any mention of players in proposed deals with a fine. 然而，最疯狂的是，球队总裁大鸟甚至不能谈论任何他所作的交易，因为和暴龙 以及拓荒者的交易都牵涉到 BYC球员，这意味着在 7 月 9 号之前交易都没办法 真正完成。溜马试图说服官方，让他们告诉球迷球队的新成员，但 NBA官方不准 ，威胁他们提到交易中的球员半个字就准备吃罚款。 Dumb, really dumb. 蠢，真是有够蠢。 After telling the local media he couldn't talk about the moves, Bird shrugged and said, "I don't know what the hell you're gonna ask me." 在告诉当地媒体他不能讨论交易的事之後，大鸟耸耸肩，说：「我不知道你还有 什麽该死的事可以问。」 Bird would start to talk about how he felt the Pacers improved, then catch himself, laugh and say, "Well, I know Toronto got themselves a lot more size tonight." 大鸟说道他觉得溜马现在有进步了，然後笑着说，「我知道今晚暴龙多了不少大 个子。」 I don't know if Rush and Hibbert are going to be the right choices -- Bayless still holds more initial appeal for me -- but at the very least, the Pacers have answered the call for change. 我不知道 Rush 和 Hibbert是否会是正确的选择--Bayless 还是比较合我的意-- 但至少，溜马已经对改变现状的要求做出了回应。 As things stand now, Indiana should have at least seven new faces in camp -- Jack, Rush, Ford, Nesterovic, Hibbert, Maceo Baston (for the second time) and Josh McRoberts. And there's every reason to believe that Bird, who is on his own for the first time as an executive, is not done dealing. (Did he say Shawne Williams?) 目前为止，溜马至少增加了七名新面孔：Jack，Rush，Ford，Nesterovic，Hibbert ， Maceo Baston(第二次来这儿了)，以及 Josh McRoberts。而有一切理由可以 相信，首次全权职掌的大鸟，还没有结束交易 (他有提过 Shawne Williams 吗?) The cleansing is virtually complete. By now, almost every Pacer who has been in trouble either on the court or off has been dispatched. Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and O'Neal are gone. David Harrison almost certainly is. Tinsley is as good as gone. Williams is close to extinction as a Pacer. That leaves only Marquis Daniels, and the ultimate resolution there was he accepted a diversion agreement for his alleged role in a bar fight. Seems pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. 大扫除行动做得很完全。迄今，几乎每个搞出场内或场外问题的球员都处理掉了 。Ron Artest，丑脸，小欧都已经掰掰了。大哈也差不多了。小汀最好也该准备 走人。小威作为溜马人的日子也快结束了。接着就只剩 Marquis Daniels，最後 的结果是他接受了关於他在酒吧斗殴事件中角色的分散协定(？)。和整个大方向 比起来微不足道的小事。 It should be noted that in college, Rush had issues with traffic violations and a failure to make timely child support payments, but nothing that sent up a huge red flag for a franchise that has promised to clean up its act. 值得一提的是在大学里头，Rush有交通违规和没能按时缴纳儿童援助(？)的纪录 ，但对这支决心完成大扫除的球队来讲，那不是什麽值得大书特书的事情。 Earlier in the night, a huge crowd at the fieldhouse saw their first pipedream go up in smoke: Homeboy Eric Gordon got chosen seventh by the Los Angeles Clippers. No falling to No. 11. 今晚稍早，一大群人在 Fieldhouse 里目睹了他们的头奖化为乌有：家乡子弟 Eric Gordon在第七顺位被洛杉矶快艇选走了。没有跌到 11 顺位来。 Later, the Charlotte Bobcats, selecting ninth, took D.J. Augustin, the guard everybody had going to the Pacers. That sent a shudder through the stands. What would they do now? Who might fall all the way to 11, the way Danny Granger fell to No. 17 in the 2005 draft? 接着，夏洛特山猫，第九顺位挑走了 D.J. Augustin，所有人都认为会落到溜马 手中的後卫。人群产生骚动。现在他们要怎麽办？谁会掉到 11 顺位，就像2005 年 Danny Granger掉到 17 顺位那样？ In the Pacers' draft room, though, this was no surprise. A few weeks ago, Bird told me that neither Westbrook nor Augustin would be available when the Pacers chose 11th. So he went out and got himself a point guard from Toronto. Actually, two point guards. And two centers. And cap flexibility. And the offseason has just begun. 然而，而在溜马的选秀室里头，这不让人讶异。几个星期前，大鸟就告诉过我， 不管是 Westbrook 或是 Augustin在溜马的 11 顺位时都没得选了。所以他才会 向外寻找，然後从多伦多找来个控球後卫。事实上，是两个控球後卫。还有两个 中锋。以及薪资弹性。而这个季末还不过刚开始。 You wanted new Pacers. You got new Pacers. Lots of them. 你想要一支新生的溜马队，而它现在已经是了。崭新的。 --
