※ 引述《pennymarcus (De-troit Basketball)》之铭言： : http://0rz.tw/d52Op : 枪蜥将在自由球员市场测试他的身价 : June 26, 2007 : BY KRISTA JAHNKE : Surprising no one, Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups officially opted out : of the final year of his contract Monday, giving him unrestricted free agent : status starting Sunday. Billups 星期一选择跳脱最後一年的合约，他变成未受限自由球员，没有吓到任何人。 : Billups, a two-time All-Star and former NBA Finals MVP, ranks at the top of : the free agent class and made it known he intended to test his value this : summer. Billups, 30, had until Saturday to file his free agency papers, and : by getting it done Monday, it tempers the drama. 这两届全明星和季後赛mvp，是列在自由球员的最高级，而且他想在今夏测试他的价值。 星期一他做了这些事。 : "This is no surprise to anyone," agent Andy Miller said. "We felt that it : would be in everyone's best interest to have everything out in front and : open, to leave more time to prepare for Chauncey's future. His perspective : has not changed. He'd like to give Detroit every opportunity to re-sign him : and to make a long-term commitment to winning another championship -- or two : or three." 他的经纪人AndyMiller说这并不令人吃惊。 Billups尚未改变他的想法。他要给底特律机会去再次签下他而也必须有长期承诺去 赢另一个冠军或另两个另三个。 : Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars has made re-signing : Billups his top priority of the summer. And Billups has said repeatedly that : his first choice is to stay with the Pistons. Dumars将签下Billups视为今夏最重要的一件事。Billups已经说过他的第一选择就是 留在底特律 : "But obviously," Miller said, "as his agent, I have to recommend to him at : some point in the process if things are not moving along as well as I would : like or am comfortable with, we'll have to look at other scenarios." : Miller also represents forward Antonio McDyess, who can opt out of the final : year of his contract. Miller said McDyess had not yet decided which way to : go. If he decides to stay, the two sides can begin negotiating a contract : extension on July 1. 经纪人miller说：「明显的，身为他的经纪人，我必须建议他，如果在某些观点上，进 行的不如我的预期，或令我不舒服，我们就要看看其他选择。」 miller也说McDyess也可能跳脱他最後一年的合约。如果McDyess决定留下来，两方面可 能在七月一日就达成延长合约。 : What happens with McDyess will likely be influenced by the direction Billups : takes. Not only do they share an agent, but the two are good friends, and : McDyess longs to win a championship. McDyess的决定如何，可能会被Billups的方向所影响。不只是他们有同一个经纪人，而且 他们是好朋友，McDyess想要赢得一个冠军。 : If Billups departs, McDyess could decide the championship window has closed : in Detroit for good and look elsewhere. : "From our perspective, we have to have a feel for the direction of where the : organization is going and the things that are important to Antonio," Miller : said. 如果Billups离开，McDyess会认为底特律总冠军的窗户已经被关起来了，然後去其他地方 : Only teams with salary cap space can make a run at free agents like Billups, : but under collective bargaining rules, the Pistons can offer him the biggest : contract. He would have made $6.8 million in his final season. 只有有薪资空间的球队能签下billups，但在规则下，活塞可以提供他最大的合约。 他在活塞的最後一年领的是680万。 : At the moment, forward Rasheed Wallace will be the highest-paid Piston next : season at $12.5 million. Rasheed在下季是活塞最高薪的1250万 : His list of potential suitors includes the Milwaukee Bucks, the Orlando Magic : and the Memphis Grizzlies. But the Bucks have their own free agent point : guard in Maurice Williams, and he would come at a cheaper sticker price. The : Grizzlies reportedly might target Williams as well, and they also hold the : No. 4 draft pick, when highly touted point guard Mike Conley Jr. should still : be available. The Magic is thought to be interested in Seattle free agent : forward Rashard Lewis. billups的可能去处包括公鹿，魔术和灰熊。但公鹿有他们的自由球员控卫 Maurice Williams 他比较便宜。而灰熊传出来也会将目标放在Maurice上，而他们也有第四顺位选 秀，Mike Conley Jr也可能被选中。魔术则对Rashard Lewis较有兴趣。 : http://0rz.tw/7a2Mx : Pistons try to keep Billups 活塞试着留下Billups : As guard becomes free agent, business and civic leaders are teaming up to get : him to stay in Detroit. : Terry Foster / The Detroit News : Piper Billups' ears perked up when the chatter at the nail salon turned to : her husband, Pistons player Chauncey Billups. : One woman announced Billups was leaving Detroit to sign with Milwaukee. : Another brought up Los Angeles and Memphis, which piqued Piper Billups' : interest. : "Hmmm, I never heard that," Piper Billups laughed, while recounting the : scene. "I was sitting up there thinking, 'Did you hear it from me? I am not : moving to Memphis."（老婆大人不要搬去Memphis哦！） 这段主要是说billups的老婆Piper Billups说他没有要搬去曼菲斯。 : Billups' future in Detroit is open for speculation after, as expected, he : opted out of the final year of his contract Monday to test the free-agent : market. : Trying to convince Billups his best option is Detroit are a number of : business and civic leaders such as Robert Porcher, Detroit Mayor Kwame : Kilpatrick, Dave Bing and even the man who'll be negotiating his contract, : Pistons president Joe Dumars. : They are, Billups said, encouraging the basketball star to put down roots, : seize business opportunities and become a leader in the community. 一堆人试着让billups相信留在底特律是最好的选择。 : Long-range plans : As Piper Billups told her story recently, Billups was a few feet away : chipping golf balls in the family backyard. : He was working on his game because he plans to hit a few as the celebrity : host of the Children's Center annual Celebrity Golf Classic on July 30 at the : Birmingham Country Club. Billups正在练习高尔夫，因为他要在七月三十日在底特律的参加Birmingham的儿童中心的 名流xx高尔夫俱乐部。 : That's right: July 30, nearly a month after Billups becomes a free agent. : Meaning: Billups is planning to stay in Detroit. Of course, that might not : happen if he gets a richer offer elsewhere, or the Pistons use him in a : sign-and-trade deal with another club. 没错，七月三十，在billups成为自由球员後的一个月。这意味着：Billups计画留在底 特律。当然，这可能不会发生，因为他得到了一个更好的合约，或活塞把他先签後换 : "This game (basketball) means a lot to me, but it is not everything," Billups : said. "I talk to (leaders) and have lunch with them. I want to be successful : the rest of my life. There are a lot of people around here showing me the : right things to do and the right ways to do things." billups说：「篮球对我来说很重要，但并不是我的全部，我和高层的人吃过午餐，我必 须让我的剩余的人生成功，这里有一大堆人告诉我正确的事情和正确的方法 : Detroit fans heard similar words from Grant Hill, Allan Houston and Ben : Wallace just before they bolted. 底特律的粉丝曾经听过Grant Hill, Allan Houston and Ben Wallace在他们离开前 说过相同的话 : But Billups said he is aggressively working behind the scenes to join a : number of current and former Detroit athletes investing in the city. : "They are in my ear all the time," he said. : One is Porcher, the former Lions player who has fashioned a career as an : entrepreneur since retiring from the NFL in 2004. Porcher said he'd love to : work with Billups or at least help him make the right connections. : "I think the No. 1 thing is Chauncey has established himself as a leader," : Porcher said. "And he conducts himself well off the court. He is just a good : guy. The times I've interacted with him he has been a good-spirited guy. : "He also understands the fabric and makeup of Detroit and Michigan, what : people are all about. He just fits in. And now he is starting to do some : things off the court." billups说他 和一些现在和以前的底特律运动员在投资这个城市? 其中一个是NFL的porcher，然後porcher夸奖billups在场下的事情做的很好 : It's become home : Billups and his wife are heavily involved in the Children's Center golf : tournament. Billups plans to ride a cart and meet every foursome and, yes, do : a little chipping and putting. Piper Billups will host a hip-hop tea party : during the event. BILLUP和他老婆参与儿童中心高尔夫联赛 : "It is extremely important for him to be here," said Debora Matthews, CEO of : the Children's Center. "My prayer is that he loves Detroit enough to hang : around. We want to keep him here. He is a great man and role model. I am : really hoping he makes the decision to hang with us." 儿童中心的总裁也跳出来说希望billups留下来 : Piper Billups said the family -- daughters Cydney, 9, Ciara, 6, and Cenaiya, : who was born a few weeks ago -- has grown comfortable in Detroit, which : allows them to get involved. 老婆大人说9岁6岁和数周大的三个女儿在底特律活的很舒服 : Piper Billups admitted that during their first years in Detroit she flew to : the Billups' hometown of Denver every time the Pistons were out of town, and : "I've got the frequent flier miles to prove it." : But she said her trips have become less frequent. 老婆大人说以前常飞回billups的故乡丹佛，但现在愈来愈少了 : "We've actually made this home," Piper Billups said. "We've moved around so : much, this is actually the longest we've been in one spot. 老婆大人说他们已经将底特律当成家了 : "When I first got here I did not like it. I just think it was moving to a new : place again. We go downtown a lot and we really like it. It is not what a lot : of people say it is. I can't say anything bad about Detroit or Michigan and : where we live. 老婆大人说他刚到底特律时并不喜欢这里，但现在这里实在太棒了 : "I hope we stay. We want to stay. This is our home. Our kids love it and this : is all they know and all of their friends are here." 老婆大人说他们想留在这里 : Porcher is not surprised the Billups family loves Detroit. : "This place grows on you," said Porcher, a South Carolina native. "It is a : great city." : It definitely has grown on Billups. porcher跑来插一脚说billups家庭喜欢这里他并不惊讶 : "I'm not just saying this to just be saying it or because I believe this is : what you want to hear; I am sincere," Billups said. "I love it here. I don't : just stay up here (Oakland County). I go to a lot of different places and : hear what people have to say and I get a feel for them. I know they : appreciate what I do and how I carry myself. They look at you and how you : carry yourself and I respect that. billups说他并不是因为你喜欢听这些才说这些话的。他喜欢这里。 : "I really like it here. I really do, and I want to stay." 「我真的喜欢这里，真的，我想要留下来。」 : http://0rz.tw/fa2Pm : Pistons say no to draft projects : With the 15th pick, Dumars wants player who can step in and contribute : immediately. : Chris McCosky / The Detroit News : AUBURN HILLS -- Pistons president Joe Dumars has made his feelings clear : about the importance of this draft. : With the 15th pick Thursday, Dumars is looking to get a player who can step : in and contribute -- next season. Dumars说，他正在用15顺位找一个下一季就可以有贡献的球员。 : "Like Joe has said over and over, we need to add youth and energy to our : team," said John Hammond, vice president of basketball. "It can be at any : position, on the perimeter or in the frontcourt. We are looking to get a : player that will be capable of getting on the floor immediately. We are not : looking at a project-type player with the 15th pick." 副总johnHammond说我们必须替球队注入年轻与活力，所以可以是任何位置，中距离或前 场，我们并不是要用15顺位找计划性的球员 : There are a couple of reasons why this draft is so critical for the Pistons. : One, the average age of the team's core group is 30. Two, the Pistons have : drafted two immediate impact players -- Mehmet Okur and Tayshaun Prince -- in : the last 10 years. 有很多理由显示这个选秀很重要。第一，球队平均年纪30岁。第二，活塞过去十年中选了 两个立即性球员Mehmet Okur and Tayshaun Prince : "We are sitting in a good position," Dumars said via e-mail Monday. "We are : looking to really upgrade our team through this draft, with youth, : athleticism, energy, depth and toughness." dumar说他们有好的顺位，他想要用这签确实的升级球队 : The Pistons have two picks in the first round -- 15 and 27 -- as well as the : 57th pick. Dumars said he wasn't zeroed in on any particular positional need. : Typically, if the Pistons drafted a perimeter player at 15, they would most : likely go for a front-court player at 27. This year, with the talent pool so : deep, the Pistons likely would take the best available player at both spots, : regardless of position. 第一轮有两个签15和27，第二轮有57，dumars并没有针对特殊位置。如果他15顺位选了 中距离球员，那27就会选前锋球员。今年是选秀大年，活塞会选两个最好的球员。 : And, if history holds, the Pistons will use the 57th pick to draft a European : project, somebody they can hold the rights to without giving up a roster spot. : Dumars said 35 players will have worked out for the Pistons by Wednesday. 历史告诉我们活塞会用57去选欧洲球员。到周三前会有35个球员来测试。 : Though no player has been asked to return for a second look, three players : have stood out as prime candidates for the 15th spot. 没有球员被要求再回来测试一次，但15顺位有三个球员被受注目 : Rodney Stuckey, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Eastern Washington, might have : had the best workout from an offensive standpoint. Rodney Stuckey 六尺五寸sg，进攻很好 : He shot well from the perimeter and showed NBA strength and quickness at both : ends of the floor. 有nba等级的力量与速度，投篮也不错 : Stuckey was one of 15 players selected by the league to attend the draft in : New York, an indication he might be selected before the Pistons pick. There : have been reports Sacramento (10) and the Los Angeles Clippers (14) are : interested in Stuckey. 但Rodney Stuckey可能会在选他之前被截走。第十的国王，第十四的快艇对他有兴趣。 : The Pistons were also wowed by Nick Young, the 6-6, 200-pound swingman from : Southern California. He has a great midrange game and deceptive explosiveness : off the dribble. 活塞对Nick Young的感觉就是哇！六尺六寸200磅摇摆人中距离，假动作运球很强。 : The question about Young is his demeanor. He is a laid-back California kid, : much in the mold of Tayshaun Prince. If the Pistons are looking for energy : and exuberance, Young might not fit the bill. : （像小王子的个性不好啊 XDDDD） Nick Young的问题是他的举止。他是懒散的加州小孩，很像Tayshaun Prince。如果活塞要找 的是活力，Young并不适合。 : Thaddeus Young, a 19-year-old, 6-8 forward from Georgia Tech, did not have a : great workout for the Pistons, but he is intriguing nevertheless. He is a raw : but gifted athlete. Thaddeus Young，19岁六尺八寸的前锋，在活塞的测试不太好，但这可能是阴谋(?)。 他是个有天份的未完成品。 : He was inconsistent in his one season at Georgia Tech and his workouts have : been just as erratic. But his upside is high enough that he probably won't : fall much lower than 20. 他在大学一年的表现有起伏，他的测试不稳定，但他大概不会掉超过20顺位。 : The Pistons aren't looking to take on a project at No. 15, but if things fall : badly for them early in the draft, he wouldn't be a bad fallback option. 活塞并不打算用15顺位找计画性的球员，但如果选秀时事情变糟，Thaddeus Young并不 是太差的选择。 : The Pistons also liked what they saw of Jason Smith (7-0 power forward from : Colorado State), Morris Almond (6-6 Richard Hamilton clone from Rice), Marco : Belinelli (6-5 swingman from Italy) and Javaris Crittenton (6-5 point guard : from Georgia Tech). 活塞也有观察Jason Smith七尺大前锋，Morris Almond六尺六寸的Richard Hamilton， Marco Belinelli六尺五寸的义大利摇摆人和 Javaris Crittenton六尺五寸的控卫 : They will take a look at Al Thornton, a 6-8, 220-pound small forward from : Florida State, today. He has been projected to go as high as No. 12 to : Philadelphia. 今天他们也会看Al Thornton六尺八寸220磅的小前锋，他可能会被12顺位的费城选去 : "We are looking for talent and for a sense of urgency," Dumars said. : "We don't want guys who are underachievers. We don't want guys who have been : coddled. We want guys with an edge, guys who have something to prove. That's : what we're looking for (on Thursday)." Dumars说我们在寻找天份和立即性兼具的球员，但我们不想要学习力差的球员, 不想要 半生不熟的球员。我们要可以变锋利的球员，立刻想证明自己的球员。 : （有人要大概翻一下重点可以推文哦 感谢了！） 大概翻了一些..... --
