Do you think the Pistons traded him too hastily, and do you think they did it just to cut costs? 问：他们已经在讨论要将小米粒拉上奥兰多魔术的先发阵容之中，你认为活塞太快将 他交易出去乎？你认为他们会这麽决定是因为认赔杀出否？ A . Listen, we can probably agree on a couple points. 答：仔细听着，以下几个观点或可说明他们的想法。 Darko Milicic was not going to flourish here. Expectations were too high, and there was already too much failure. Plus, the Wallaces and Antonio McDyess aren't going anywhere anytime soon. He had to go, and his value this summer would have been the same as it was last week. It was a good deal for the Pistons (another first-round pick, probably in 2008, and some cap relief), and it was good deal for Darko. 小米粒在这里成长并不显着，人们对於他的期望过高，但他的表现却一再让人失望。 加上双蛙和袋鼠短时间内都不会离开这里，所以他必须走，而他的价值在暑假和上个星期 时将不会有什麽不同。这对可能在'08年取得另一个第一轮选秀权以及一些薪资空间的活塞 或小米粒来说，都称得上是一笔好交易。 As to the Pistons taking the cheap way out and cutting him loose to save a couple of luxury-tax dollars, that's not the case. 就活塞方面而言，看似出此下策，认赔杀出将小米粒交易出去以避免豪华税的开徵， 但事情并非"憨人"想得这麽简单。 The Pistons are running a business, and it is their right to seek profit. But if they were depleting valuable assets, and putting another championship run at risk just to get under the threshold, criticism would be warranted. 活塞是在管理企业，所以他们有权寻求最大的利益。不过如果他们能在耗尽所有有价 值的资产後，在风险中取得争冠及豪华税开徵之间的平衡点，舆论应该会放过他们的。 That's not what happened. They unloaded a couple spare parts. In so doing, they put themselves in position to maintain enough financial flexibility to keep this starting five intact for perhaps the next four years, and to surround it with capable support players (the likes of Maurice Evans and Carlos Delfino). 事情并非如此，他们挪出了一些空间。如此一来，他们让自己处在一个保有足够薪资 空间的情况下，也许未来四年都能确保先发五人留在阵中，并且以他们为核心再补上一些 能提供协助的球员(例如M.Evans和C.Delfino)。 And they did so without any real risk to their title drive this season. (If Chauncey Billups were to go down, trust me, Carlos Arroyo wasn't going to lead them to a title). 而且他们这麽做并未对他们本季要争取总冠军造成任何风险(如果枪蜥表现变差，相信 我，就算阿漏油在也没办法带领球队夺冠)。 On top of that, Joe Dumars has made provisions for the distant future, as well. Not only with the draft pick from Orlando, but with the three rookies on the roster. 除此以外，老乔也已经为遥远的未来铺好了路。不只是自奥兰多获得的选秀权，还有 球员名单上的三名菜鸟。 Q . Are the Pistons going to add Tony Delk? 问：活塞将网罗T.Delk吗？ A . We should find out today. He was expected to clear waivers, but the Pistons aren't the only team interested. Utah and Miami expressed interest. 答：这个问题我们今天就可以知道。他被摆在确定会被开除的名单当中，但活塞并非 唯一一支对他有兴趣的球队，犹他爵士和迈阿密热火也表明了他们的意愿。 Don't look at this as the piece that's going to put the Pistons over the top or anything ridiculous like that. The Pistons are simply looking to buy some insurance against possible injury to Billups or Lindsey Hunter. 不要有如果Delk加入活塞队，他们将变得无懈可击之类的可笑想法，活塞不过是在为 枪蜥或猎人买一份伤病意外险罢了。 --
