New Orleans Hornets have some options in free-agent market Published: Sunday, May 08, 2011, 8:10 AM 原文连结：http://0rz.tw/qaSYf General Manager Dell Demps, who said last week the New Orleans Hornets are going to look at every possible way to make the team better, may find all the help he needs in free agency. GM Dell Demps上星期曾表示，黄蜂将会考虑每一种可以提昇球队实力的方式，或许会从 FA市场里找来帮手。 After getting hammered inside by the Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs and not getting enough perimeter scoring, it is apparent the Hornets need improved depth at center and better overall play at shooting guard. 在输给湖人的季後赛比赛中，我们没办法在外线拿到足够的分数，而且内线的高度也不足 ，更重要得是我们需要一个更全面的得分後卫。 In free agency, they could have their pick between former Hornets’ center Tyson Chandler or Memphis Grizzlies’ center Marc Gasol. 在FA里面，黄蜂可以在前黄蜂中锋Tyson Chandler或是灰熊中锋Marc Gasol之间做出选择。 At shooting guard, they could pursue Orlando’s Jason Richardson or Atlanta Hawks’ Jamal Crawford, who will become unrestricted free agents July 1. They could improve their bench with the addition of Caron Butler or former Hornets guard Marcus Thornton, whom they traded in February to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Carl Landry. 得分後卫方面，黄蜂可以考虑的有魔术的Jason Richardson、老鹰的Jamal Crawford，他 们在七月一日之後就是不受限的自由球员。另外还可以考虑找来Caron Butler和前黄蜂後 卫Marcus Thornton（今年二月MT被拿去交易来Carl Landry）来充实板凳战力。 Of course, Demps and Coach Monty Williams remain vague toward plans. The threat of a work stoppage looms if a new labor agreement is not approved by June 30. They don’t know what rules could be in play regarding how much they could offer a free agent, or if the current luxury tax threshold will remain under a new deal. 当然拉，Demps和教练Monty接下来的计画充满了不确定因素。如果6/30前新的CBA没有通过 ，那联盟会陷入封馆的危机。他们不知道要提供给自由球员合约会有什麽样的新规定，或 是要交易的话是否还可以维持目前的薪资结构。 “We want good players — that’s the goal,’’ Demps said. “I think when you look at some of the really good teams in the league, they have four or five big guys that are producing and helping. I think that will be what we look to do to our roster.” Demps说：我们要得到好球员 - 这是球队的目标，我想当你去仔细看看联盟中一些优秀的 球队阵容，你会发现他们普遍都有4-5个可以做出贡献的大个子球员。我想这点是我们补强 的方向。 To lure Gasol, a 7-footer, away from Memphis, the Hornets would have to make an offer the Grizzlies would be unwilling to match. Gasol, who made $3.4 million this season, has increased his value by helping the Grizzlies upset No. 1 seeded San Antonio in the first round. Through eight playoff games, Gasol has averaged 14.8 points and 9.0 rebounds. 想要从灰熊那边把Gasol弟找来的话，黄蜂必须要提出灰熊无法跟进的报价。Gasol弟今年 的薪水为340万镁，灰熊在第一轮的季後赛中淘汰了马刺的比赛中好表现，相对的提昇了他 自己的身价。在季後赛的八场比赛中，Gasol弟平均每场可以拿到14.8分和9.0篮板。 Chandler’s value also has increased, as he has given the Mavericks solid play in the playoffs, especially with his defensive play, against the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals. The Mavericks lead the series 3-0 and can clinch it today. In the final year of his contract, Chandler made $12.7 million this season. 小钱的身价也不断地提昇，他再季後赛中为小牛提供了重要的战力，尤其是对上湖人时他 在禁区中的表现。在他合约的最後一年，今年薪资为1270万镁。 Under then-general manager Jeff Bower in 2009, the Hornets traded Chandler to the Charlotte Bobcats for current starting center Emeka Okafor. 09年时，前GM Jeff Bower把小钱交易到山猫换Okafor回来。 Resulting from the trade, there is a chance Chandler still could have some ill feelings toward the franchise that gave up on him after he struggled to overcome ankle problems during the 2008-09 season, his final in New Orleans. 这交易的後遗症可能是小钱会对黄蜂有些不满。08-09年是他在黄蜂的最後一季，这时的 小钱饱受膝伤的困扰，最後球队放弃了他。 However, before a game against the Hornets in April, Chandler said he still loves New Orleans and their fans and still regards point guard Chris Paul as one of his best friends. 然而，今年四月小牛对黄蜂的比赛前，小钱曾说过他还是喜欢纽澳良的球迷们而且他依然 把CP3当作自己的最好的朋友之一。 “Chris is the kind of guy you need to put athletes and shooters around,’’ said Williams said. “There were certain things that the Lakers exposed and everybody thinks we are supposed to add that. But the Lakers are the Lakers. There are certain things we did that exposed their flaws. Monty说：CP3是那种需要你去找活动力强的球员和射手围绕着他去建队。从对湖人的比赛 中显示了这点而大家都知道我们必须去做这些。但是湖人是湖人，我们也让他们显示出他 们自己的缺点。 “It’s easy to say you’ve got to get this. But in getting it, does it fit with what we do? That’s the evaluation process that’s going to take place between now and when we do it.’’ 你可以很简单的说你必须得到这种人。但是这过程中和我们现在做的符合吗？从现在开始 到我们开始去运作的这段时间，我们会进行一次评估。 Whether they explore free agency or seek trades, they want players that can defend, Williams said. Monty表示不管是签FA或是交易来的球员，我们都希望他是会防守的。 “There is no need in having a guy who can flat-out knock down shots, but he couldn’t guard a bike if he was riding it,’’ Williams said. “There’s no need having that guy, because he’s not going to like me.’’ Monty说：我们不需要只会拼命投篮的人，但无法在骑车时控制好自己脚踏车的人（是说 防守不好的意思？）。这里不需要这种球员，因为他不会喜欢我的。 With that in mind, the Hornets may not pursue players such as Thornton, who is not considered to be an exceptional defender. 在这种想法之下，黄蜂可能不会喜欢MT这类被认为防守不好的球员。 Hornets starting shooting guard Marco Belinelli, who shot only 36.5 percent from the field during the playoffs, will become a restricted free agent, along with forward-center Jason Smith, who averaged 2.3 points off the bench against the Lakers. 先发得分後为贝里和Jason Smith都将成为受限的自由球员。 Backup shooting guard Willie Green will become an unrestricted free agent but wants to return. Landry also becomes a free agent. Backup center Aaron Gray, who was effective off the bench against Lakers, can opt out of his contract June 30, as can forward David West, the team’s leading scorer before a knee injury ended his season. 威力绿将成为不受限的自由球员，不过他曾说他想要回黄蜂。Landry也会变成自由球员。 Gray则可选择跳出合约，当然DX也可以选择跳出合约。 “I think we are trying to establish a place where people want to come to play and like our style of play,’’ Demps said. “You can’t control that, but we’ ll have to find that out in free agency.’’ Demps说：我认为我们正努力建立一支球队，一支球员愿意来这打球并且喜欢这种比赛风格 的球队。你无法控制这些事情，但是我们将会从自由市场去找这类的人。 John Reid can be reached at [email protected] or 504.826.3407. --
