原文出处： http://0rz.tw/652OA -- Are you scared out of your mind right now? And if not, why not? 你害怕马上就失去理智吗？如果不怕，原因是什麽？ If you care about the Pistons, you have several varieties of fear to choose from. 如果你关心活塞，那有各式各样需要担心的事可以任君挑选。 There's the "Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod, Chauncey hasn't signed yet!" panic. 例如：我的老天爷啊，枪蜥还没签约！ I understand this. On the first day of NBA free agency, Vince Carter re-signed with the Nets, Jason Kapono left Miami for Toronto, Luke Walton re-signed with the Lakers and Kobe Bryant demanded to be traded to a team that is willing to trade him again. 这我了解。在NBA自由市场开启的第一天，VC与篮网重新签署了一份合约，J.Kapono离 开迈阿密转投多伦多，L.Walton也和湖人重签新约而Kobe要求被交易到一支愿意再交易他 的球队。 Yet Billups, supposedly the securest of locks to stay with his team, has not signed. 反而据信留队机率最大的枪蜥迟迟未签约。 Don't worry. This deal will get done, probably this week. It is fair to wonder why it would take time, with Joe Dumars insisting he wants to re-sign Billups and Billups acknowledging he'd like to be back. But see, that is precisely why it is taking some time. 别担心。那笔交易将会完成，或许就在这个礼拜。好奇为什麽签个约需要花那麽多时 间是很正常的，因为老乔坚称他希望能与枪蜥签署新约而枪蜥也坦承他希望留在活塞继续 打拼。但你看，那那正是为什麽需要花上一些时间的原因。 The whole league expects Billups back in Detroit. The teams that might have had an interest -- like Charlotte and Milwaukee -- don't want to waste their time. 整个联盟都预期枪蜥会留在底特律。那些对他有兴趣的球队 -- 例如夏洛特和密尔瓦 基 -- 不希望浪费他们宝贵的时间。 Billups really has no option but to sign with Detroit. But he still wants fair market value, and since there is no offer for the Pistons to match, it might take a few days to get there. 真的，枪蜥除了留在底特律也没有其他的选择。但他仍希望获得符合其市场价值的合 约，而既然没有其他队开价让活塞去跟，那或许双方得花上几天时间去协调合约长度及金 额。 And agent Andy Miller, like any agent, needs to get more money for his client, whatever "more" is, to prove his own value in the process. 而其经纪人Andy Miller，像任何一位经纪人，需要为他的客户争取更优渥的薪资，不 管"更优渥"是多优渥，以证明他在协商过程中的价值所在。 This will get done. Really. I promise. 这件事迟早会完成的。真的。我坚信如此。 There's the "Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod, Chauncey is overrated and why are we signing him?!?!" panic. 另外还有这样的疑虑"我的老天爷啊，枪蜥的身价被高估了，我们为什麽要把他签下来 呢！？" Maybe I'm misreading the fan base, but there seems to be a vocal minority that feels this way. 或许我是误解了球迷的意思，但似乎有一小部分这样的声音。 Billups isn't perfect. But he has a few All-Star quality years left, is a leader and cares only about winning. Guys like that are hard to find, and when you have one, you keep him. (Yes, I know the Pistons let Ben Wallace go. Let's see if he makes another All-Star team.) 枪蜥并不完美。但他还有几年足以维持全明星表现的黄金岁月，他是个领袖而且只在 乎胜利。像这样出色的家伙是打着灯笼都找不到的，而当你队上正巧有一个时，你势必要 把他留住。(是的，你知道活塞让班蛙离开了。让我们等着看他是否把另一支球队带成一支 全明星队。) There's the "Let's trade Rasheed Wallace in the next 10 minutes!" panic. 也有人说"10分钟内就把溪蛙交易出去吧！" It makes sense to see if there is a sensible deal out there for Rasheed Wallace . But if you think he is on the decline and his trade value will keep diminishing, well, you are half-right. 这或许可行，不过要看是否有球队针对溪蛙提出合理的交易条件。但如果你认为他正 在走下坡而他的交易价值会持续下降，嗯，你只对了一半。 Wallace is indeed on the decline (though he is still a highly effective player when he chooses to be). But in the nutty NBA economy, that does not mean his value will keep diminishing. 溪蛙确实正在走下坡了(虽然当他愿意，他仍是一个效率极高的好选手)。但在这个价 值观已经混淆的NBA联盟里，那并不代表他的交易价值会持续下降。 The most sought-after commodity in the NBA, besides a 43,000-square-foot bedroom, is a big expiring contract. Wallace's contract expires after the 2008-09 season. 在NBA中最热门的日常用品，除了一间43,000平方英尺大的卧室外就属一张快要到期的 巨额合约了。溪蛙的合约在'08-'09球季後会到期。 Next summer, Rasheed Wallace will be one of those guys who is referred to by his contract, as in, "We'll trade you So-and-So for Rasheed Wallace's contract. " He will have plenty of value then. 明年夏天，溪蛙将会成为符合上述所提条件的家伙，例如，"我们愿意用某某人来交换 溪蛙的合约。"他到时候就会有很高的交易价值。 Finally, there's the "Uh, aren't we going to have ANY centers on the roster?" panic. 最後，还有人担心"嗯，我们不在阵容里面补上任何中锋吗？" This one is interesting. Of the Pistons' three centers -- Chris Webber, Nazr Mohammed and Dale Davis -- none is sure to return. (Davis, in fact, seems sure to go.) Could the Pistons, who have hoarded big guys like nobody else in the league, end up without any centers? 这一点很有趣。活塞的三个中锋 - 威爸、回教人和Dale Davis -- 没有一位肯定会留 在队上。(事实上，Davis似乎确定要离开了。)大个子曾经囤积到联盟无任何一支球队可相 比的活塞最终会落得连一个中锋都没有？ Extremely doubtful. Mohammed is under contract. Webber's return is possible. The Pistons are not going to let both go unless they can bring in another center. 　　还很难说。回教人仍有合约在身。威爸可能会续签。活塞不会让两个人都离开，除非 他们可以盘来另外一位中锋。 The Pistons are being deliberate about this process. Their summer goals, in order, are: 活塞正在深思熟虑这个过程。他们的暑假目标如下： 1. Re-sign Billups. 1.重签枪蜥。 2. Re-sign Amir Johnson. 2.重签Amir Johnson。 3. Woo Grant Hill. 3.争取Grant Hill回锅。 4. Explore trade possibilities, unless a juicy trade offer arrives before Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are complete. 4.寻找交易可能性，除了有令人垂涎欲滴的交易提案出现，否则仍以完成上述三点为 主要目标。 For the Pistons, this is a familiar cycle. Dumars makes smart moves, the team gets written off again, and by spring, the Pistons will be as likely as anybody to come out of the East. 对活塞来说，这是一个似曾相识的循环。老乔做了正确的抉择，球队卷土重来，当春 天来临，活塞将再一次自东区脱颖而出。 Fear is part of being a fan. 担心害怕是球迷的专利。 It is not part of being Joe Dumars. 老乔的字典里可没有这几个字。 --
