原文出处：http://tinyurl.com/mdu9g4 With less than a week before free agents can sign contracts, Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower has inquired about former LSU and Hornets forward Brandon Bass, a league source said Thursday afternoon. 据可靠消息指出，Bass蜂还巢了。 Before the free agency period began Wednesday, Bass said through his agent, Tony Dutt, that the Hornets were one of the teams on his list. Although Dutt said the Hornets did not contact him early Wednesday morning, he anticipated getting a phone call from Bower eventually. Bass之前就透露有意愿回来黄蜂。 Talks are expected to continue, but Bass is drawing interest from several other teams. It is not known how much the Hornets would be willing to offer Bass. 由於有数队竞争他，详细合约尚不清楚。 Bass is a Baton Rouge native and a 2005 second-round pick by the Hornets. He struggled during his first two seasons with the Hornets before signing a free-agent deal with the Mavericks in 2007. As a backup last season, Bass averaged 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds. Bass生涯始於黄蜂，却在小牛发光发热，去年缴出8.5分4.5篮板的成绩。 As a Hornet, Bass' biggest problem in Coach Byron Scott's system was adjusting to his role as mainly a rebounder. But he proved to be one of the team's hardest workers. 最大问题是如何融入Scott的体系，但无论如何他是个拼劲十足的好球员。 This past season, Scott said if he had to do it over again, he would have changed some things to help Bass' development when he was with the Hornets. Scott曾坦承自己的错误，时光若能重来我会好好爱他。 Whether they sign Bass or not, New Orleans is seeking a capable backup power forward to allow starter David West a little more rest. West averaged a team high 39.2 minutes per game last season. Bass归来对West而言是好事，上季39.2分钟的上场时间对他太操了。 The Hornets are also interested in veteran power forward/center Joe Smith, but his Los Angeles-based agent, Dan Fegan, could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon. 另外黄蜂对Joe Smith也有兴趣，但他的经纪人是传说中的Fegan。 In addition, the Hornets have inquired about free agent frontcourt players Mikki Moore, Maceo Baston and Jake Voskuhl, all are unrestricted free agents. 其他中意的非受限球员还有Mikki Moore，Maceo Baston和Jake Voskuhl。 Despite their frontcourt needs, one of the first calls Bower made after midnight Wednesday was to guard Jannero Pargo's agent, Mark Bartelstein. But Bartelstein said Bower told him they still have things to work out with their roster before making a possible offer to Pargo. 除了前场的补强外，和Pargo之间的谈判仍在进行。 Pargo, a former Hornet, can play both point guard and shooting guard. But if signed, most of Pargo's playing time minutes would probably come at the backup shooting guard spot. The Hornets are currently overstacked at that position with starter Rasual Butler and Peterson, Brown and rookie Marcus Thornton. Pargo若回来将面对RB，Mo-P，Brown和Thornton等人的竞争。 Last week, the Hornets drafted UCLA's Darren Collison in the first round to handle the backup point guard duties. They acquired Thornton, who played at LSU, in a trade with Miami Heat after he was selected as the 43rd pick in the second round. 上周选秀刚获得两名後场新秀。 -- ╭◥兞1;37mi██◣╮ ╭══ MRightφ ══◢█ ◣═╮ ║ 兞1;37mi▌◥█╰═══════╯ ◢ ● ╴╴ █▌ █ ║ ║ 兞1;37mi ◣ █ ╰i◣ ꈠ ◢ █ ╲m ￣ ◢ ◤ ║ ║ 兞1;37mi██◤ ╰芍i ╰芍i █ 3〉 ◥ ◣ ║ ║ 兞1;37mi▌ ╰哈ꨠ ╰哈ꨠ █ ＜〈 █▌ █ ║ ╰ 兞1;37m持═══════════ ◤═ ＿ˍ＿ ══ ◥█ ◤═╯ --
