Suns, 2 words on Amare: Be careful http://ppt.cc/cgxQ The NBA rumor mill is so out of control that this message came across Twitter on Tuesday: Breaking News! Amar'e Stoudemire to the Lakers!! He might take less money to win a championship. The sender? Amare Stoudemire. 这边说的大略是稍早阿骂在自己的Twitter上面说自己要减薪去湖人的事情。 Even the Suns forward is having fun with a big decision that the franchise has been mulling. Do you trade him, gain financial freedom but likely lose fans and games while in an unpopular rebuilding mode? Or do you continue to build around your go-to guy but risk being locked into a no-leverage future? 太阳队目前应该考虑的困境问题是：你打算交易他，获得更多的财务自由，但失去 更多的球迷并且让球队的比赛处於一个不受欢迎的经营模式；还是继续围绕着阿骂 这个go-to guy建立球队，但有可能被锁定在失去平衡的未来？ When a team is willing to deal its centerpiece, "it's generally not for talent purposes but for financial reasons or personality conflicts," Orlando Magic Senior Vice President Pat Williams said. "History would say you almost always end up on the short end." History offers tough lessons on the far-reaching impact of tough trade decisions. Williams knows this well. Even though he directed many successful trades, fans most remember how, as the Philadelphia 76ers' general manager in 1986, he traded Moses Malone - along with Terry Catledge and two first-round picks - for Washington's Cliff Robinson and Jeff Ruland. 魔术副总Williams提到，当一支球队打算交易掉他的核心球员，通常可不是对这 些有才能的球员该做的。不管是为了经济因素或者个人的原因，在历史上留下的 评价往往是为了在短期内做一个结束而为之。 而做出这些决定向来是很困难的，例如这边举一项着名的交易为例： 在1986年，七六人队拿Moses Malone+Terry Catledge+两个首轮选秀权 去交换华盛顿的Cliff Robinson跟Jeff Ruland。 Philadelphia management erred in thinking Malone's skills were on sharp decline. Malone, 31, went on to play nine productive seasons, while Robinson and Ruland spent much of their time on the bench nursing injuries. A team three years removed from an NBA title missed the playoffs eight of the next 12 years. The lesson? Make sure you have a firm grasp on the state of your player's skills. 七六人的管理阶层并未意识到M.Malone在球队中对他们的重要性。当时31岁被交易 出去的Malone被交易後仍是在纽约发了九年威，反而被交易来的Robinson和Ruland 大部分的时间都待在板凳上面养伤。而後果是一支在NBA三度拿到冠军的球队在接下来 的十二年中有九年与季後赛绝缘。 这个教训告诉我们，在重建前应该对自己球队的球员拥有的能耐有一定程度的认识 才行。 Stoudemire, of course, isn't Malone. His career isn't as established, and concerns about his health, including the detached retina that sidelined him for half of last season, linger. His desire for a contract extension when he becomes eligible later this summer also clouds the issue. On the other hand, he's 26, an age widely regarded as the start of an NBA player's prime. Many believe his best play is yet to come. "The point is, with All-Star-caliber players, you need to be very careful before you proceed," Williams said. 当然，阿骂并不是Malone。他的生涯还没走到那麽长，同时他也有伤病上的困扰， 上个球季他为了眼疾缺席了一半的比赛。这样的伤病疑虑挥之不去。他个人是希望 能在今年夏天解决他的合约问题。 但另一方面来说，阿骂也才二十六岁，正是一个NBA球员正要开始进步的初期而已。 有不少人认为他的好表现才正要开始。 「所以重点是，着手对於这些全明星球员的问题前，你必须非常谨慎的去处理。」 Williams如是说。 Robert Parish was Stoudemire's age when Golden State traded him and a No. 3 pick in the 1980 draft to Boston for the Nos. 1 and 13 picks. The Celtics used the third pick to take Kevin McHale, and Boston soon had one of the finest front lines in NBA history. The Celtics won three titles during Parish's reign, while the Warriors made the playoffs just once with their No. 1 draft choice, Joe Barry Carroll. Their 13th pick, Rickey Brown, averaged 4.4 points in his career. 让我们来看看另一个案例： 当Robert Parish当年在阿骂这个年纪的时候，勇士队拿他和第三顺位的选秀权 和波士顿塞尔提克交易来第一顺位和第十三顺位的选秀签。 塞尔提克用了第三顺位选来了McHale，使波士顿很快拥有了一个很棒而且名留 青史的前场球员，接下来也在Parish在位的时候赢得了三个总冠军；另一方面 勇士用他们的第一指名选择Joe Barry Carroll，第十三顺位则选来了Ricky Brown， 一个生涯平均拿下4.4.分的球员。 Before the trade, Golden State was in disarray and anxious to rebuild. Many had questions about Parish's motivation. The decision proved costly and the Warriors, one of the dominant teams in the 1960s, failed to reach the postseason for six consecutive seasons after the Parish trade. The lesson? Rebuilding requires a deft draft and astute personnel decisions. 在这个交易之前，勇士队的重建都在混乱与焦虑当中度过，甚至有人质疑Parish的 意志力不够。但当Parish被交易走了之後，勇士队，一支在上个世纪六零年代的一支 具主导地位的球队连续六年无缘於季後赛。 这个教训告诉我们，在决定要重建之前应该先做好灵巧的人事规划草案，同时对於 人事方面的决定也要精明点。 Vince Carter was 27 when he demanded a trade from Toronto in 2004. The struggling Raptors agreed and sent him the New Jersey Nets while acquiring Alonzo Mourning, Eric Williams and Aaron Williams and two mid-to-late future first-round picks. Mourning chose not to report, and Toronto had to buy out the remainder of his contract, while neither of the other two players made a significant impact. The lesson? Be sure the players you acquire are on board with your plans. 2004年，当Vince Carter 27岁的时候，他吵着要多伦多将他交易。暴龙队挣扎着 把他送到了纽泽西篮网，交易来Alonzo Mourning、Eric Williams和Aaron Williams。 Mourning并没有去多伦多报到的意愿，暴龙也求仁得仁的买断了他的合约。而与此 同时，我们都知道另外两名球员并没有替暴龙队带来显着的影响。 这个教训告诉我们，当你选择要交易的时候，也应该确定球员们会跟上你的计划。 Sun owner Robert Sarver and General Manager Steve Kerr have taken heat for the direction of the franchise under their leadership. The convergence of economic challenges and lack of success are likely to inspire a very real makeover. "You build and put pieces together, you go for it and give everything you got for that big trophy," Williams said. "If you don't get there and the timing has run out, you can do one of two things: muddle along or start all over again." Suns management is contemplating one of the biggest trades of its tenure. History sends one important message: Proceed with caution. 在太阳的老板沙佛和总管科科的领导下曾经采取比较专注的经营方向。 但在收敛性的经济挑战和缺乏成效可能引发真正的变动。 「你建立和实施起一支球队，你去为它给予你的一切，只为了奖盃，」Williams说： 「如果你没有达到目标，同时时间已经用完了，你可以做一两件事：得过且过，或重新 开始。 」 太阳的管理阶层正在考虑一个可能是他们任内最大的交易行动。 而历史已经告诉我们一个重要讯息：谨慎行事。 -- --
