David West's future with New Orleans Hornets will be clear by June's end Published: Wednesday, May 04, 2011, 10:03 PM 原文：http://0rz.tw/UKLv9 A summer of uncertainty is in the offing for the New Orleans Hornets, though one order of business should be known before the collective bargaining agreement expires June 30. 对黄蜂而言一些暑假的不确定性正在酝酿中，其中一个是大家都知道的现行的CBA在6/30 到期。 Power forward David West, who is rehabbing from surgery to repair a torn left ACL, must notify New Orleans of his intention on whether to opt out of the final year of his contract by that date. 正在复健中DX则是在6/30前必须通知球队是否要跳脱合约。 If West does not exercise his option by then, he’ll be with the Hornets next season, whenever that might begin. 如果他不行使球员选择权，那他下一季将会继续留在黄蜂。 West could not be reached for comment Wednesday, and Hornets General Manager Dell Demps said he has not yet heard from West about his plans for next season. DX现在不能对此有所回应，GM Dell Demps表示他还没听说过DX目前的计画是什麽。 “It’s all on David,” Demps said. “It’s all David. Nothing on us. I won’t talk to him. We won’t put the gun to his head or anything like that. I never speak for guys. They’re accessible. If they have something they want to say, I ’ll let them say it.” Demps说：这决定权都在DX手上，球队并没有任何决定权。我不会去强迫他。我们也不会 拿枪抵着他的头或是怎样之类的。我没有和他们谈论过。双方的对话窗口是开放的，如果 他们有什麽想表达的，那我会让他们说说他们的看法。 West can earn $7.5 million next season by remaining in New Orleans. Should he opt out by the June 30 deadline, he will be facing a dubious free-agency market because of the lack of a new collective bargaining agreement, as well as questions surrounding his rehabilitation from the injury suffered March 24 in Salt Lake City. 如果DX在6/30前选择留在黄蜂，那下一季他的薪资为750万镁。如果他选择跳脱合约，那他 将面对一个充满不确定的自由市场，因为新的CBA目前还没有定案，而DX本身的复健状况也 是充满未知性。 NO MONETARY CHANGE: Even though the Hornets had the benefit of playing three postseason games in the New Orleans Arena and keeping part of the revenue generated from those games, team president Hugh Weber said Wednesday it would not lessen the about $7 million in state aid the franchise will receive. The clause is part of the Hornets’ lease agreement with the state and gives the team assurances of reaching certain revenue benchmarks. 尽管季後赛打了三场满场的主场比赛让球队赚饱饱，不过球队总裁Hugh Weber表示这并不 会减少政府约700万镁补助金额，这是源於当地政府与黄蜂的租赁协议而来的。 “The revenue calculations were intended for the regular season,” said Weber. “There’s a whole series of pulleys and levers that say if you don’t make the number, or have maxed out the number, then there’s an application for after expenses. (Playoff earnings) has a very minimal effect on the revenue.” Weber说：这收入的计算主要是依据例行赛为主，这是有完整的门槛和杠杆组成，如果达不 到或是超过的话，会有相对应的开支。而季後赛的收益所影响的部份是很小的。 In the current lease with the state, the revenue benchmark stipulates the state will have to pay the Hornets inducements not exceeding $7.5 million at the end of the season if the team doesn’t gross at least $43.6 million, which is 80 percent of its gross revenue for all potential ticket sales. 在和政府的协议中，补助给黄蜂的金额上限将不会超过750万镁，如果球队收入低於4360万 镁，那80％门票销售就算入所有潜在的收入。 Gov. Bobby Jindal said in March that the state was expecting to pay that inducement money this season because the team likely would not reach the revenue benchmarks. 州长Bobby Jindal三月多时曾表示，政府很期待能够支付这笔金额，因为黄蜂今年很可能 无法达到收入标准。 GREEN WANTS BACK: Backup guard Willie Green, whose contract expires June 30, making him an unrestricted free agent, said he’d wholeheartedly welcome a return to the Hornets next season if a new deal can be worked out. 威力绿即将成为自由球员，他表示他希望能够回到黄蜂。 “I’d love to be back here,” Green said. “I enjoyed myself thoroughly. It was a great opportunity playing for Coach Monty (Williams), and the fellows in the locker room were great. I’d look forward to that. 威力绿说：我喜欢回到这里，这里可让我好好发挥。球队有很好得教练以及队友们在更衣 室里的良好气氛，我期待着。 “I can definitely see myself continuing my career here. My family had a great time. The city is great, the culture, the people. I think New Orleans is a jewel, just from that standpoint, the city, the people, the culture, the food, the fans, the support. It was a great experience. I can see myself being here because what they’re trying to build here is going to be great.” 我可以预见到我将在这里继续我的职业生涯。我的家人对这里生活很适应八拉八拉八拉 ……後略。（一连串巴结的场面话……） Green had the unusual experience of playing for Williams, someone with whom he played with the Philadelphia 76ers. “It was weird, but it was cool just because I knew what he expected from me,” Green said. “We didn’t have to say a lot of words to each other. It was just a matter of eye contact. I knew I’d come in every day and work hard, but work even harder just because I know Monty. We’re friends off the court. It was definitely fun and a good experience.” --
