Sherrod Blakely Tuesday April 28, 2009, 1:15 AM AUBURN HILLS -- Eight years ago, Joe Dumars revamped a sub-.500 Detroit Pistons team in just a few years into a squad that made trips to the Eastern Conference finals or NBA finals an annual tradition. Talent, luck and timing played a role in how the Pistons went from an NBA chump to an NBA contender so quickly. For a similar turnaround after this season's 39-43 finish and first-round playoff exit, the Pistons and Dumars, the team's president of basketball operations, will need to hit a similar trifecta. "I think Joe D is going to do a great job of getting this team back to playing competitive basketball," the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James said. "They have some very good players right now. And one thing about Detroit, you never count those guys out." 以上是对Joe Dumars的称赞与Lebron James的客套话 Who's returning When you have the kind of season Detroit had, no one should feel too comfortable. It is unlikely, though, Detroit will look to make any deals involving guards Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. Despite his ups and downs this past season, the Pistons remain high on Stuckey, whose numbers were better in almost every major statistical category than his fellow second-year guards. As for Bynum, nobody helped his status with the team more than him. He went from what was expected to be a seldom-used role as a third point guard to arguably the team's best bench scorer, including setting a franchise record for the most points scored (26) in the fourth quarter. 阿基和小拜能应该都会留下。阿基是有高层的无比信心，拜能是天助自助。 Richard Hamilton signed a three-year extension before the season started, so it is unlikely Detroit will look to unload him. The same is true for Jason Maxiell, who also signed an extension. Rip和Maxy因为刚签下延长合约的关系，所以应该不用急着搬家。 Tayshaun Prince, however, is another story. If the Pistons are looking to make a blockbuster trade akin to the Billups deal last November, chances are it will have to involve Prince and at least another player. 当初走的若不是枪西，那应该是小王子。现在若要弥补枪西离开的损失，遭殃的应该 还是队上的某个倒楣鬼和小王子。 Arron Afflalo expected coming into the season to get steady minutes as Hamilton's backup, but the Allen Iverson trade changed that. Pistons coach Michael Curry often has said that with steady minutes, Afflalo can be a good contributor. Maybe next season Afflalo will get that opportunity. AI到来之前，身为Rip替补的阿福本来相当有机会爆发的。MC说他会给阿福时间，不过 又只是个嘴炮罢了。期待明年能不能被施舍到一点上场时间吧。 Who's out of here The only player for sure who will not return is Allen Iverson. The more he played with the Pistons, the clearer it became he was not a good fit. Throw in the fact he has lost a step or two, it is best both sides go their separate ways. AI应该是本季唯一一个早就已经确定不会留下来的球员。AI上场时间越久，也只能越 证明他跟活塞不合。早散早好。 Rasheed Wallace will be a free agent, but he is unlikely to return, especially if the Pistons convince fellow free agent Antonio McDyess to come back. Like Iverson, Wallace's game also has taken a step back. Detroit will have to decide whether he can physically give the team enough to make all the technical fouls he picks up worth it. 若Dice成功被留下，Sheed应该掰定了。Sheed和AI一样都在退步当中，若他无法在肉 体上弥补技术犯规的失误，那就没什麽好留下来的。 Walter Herrmann might get some feelers from NBA teams, but he likely will return to play in Europe next season. 虽然有可能找到买家，不过回欧洲的机会比较大。 Rookie Walter Sharpe needs a strong summer league to convince the Pistons he is mature enough -- as a player and a person -- to stick around. Otherwise, Detroit would be best suited to cut him loose. 若没有办法在夏季联盟当中证明自己身心状态都已经是个坏孩子，那就掰啦。 Up in the air Kwame Brown can opt out of his current deal, which pays $4 million for the 2009-2010 season. The only way Brown would do such a thing is if he got enough feelers from teams that a deal with more years was in the waiting if he were a free agent. A two-year, $6 million deal just might be enough to make it happen. 若有哪个GM在刚睡醒的时候就赶着上班，今年应该会Opt Out。预估两年六百万。m Amir Johnson will be in the last year of a three-year, $11 million deal he signed in 2007. His age (22), athleticism and contract make him an attractive target for many teams, although it appears Detroit will keep him or include him as part of a bigger deal. 三年约的最後一年，22岁的年纪，运动力，与适合的合约长度大小，也许会在某个多换 一的交易当中作为主菜之一。 Pistons beat writer A. Sherrod Blakely hands out his marks for the season: Coach 教练 ‧ Michael Curry: Too soon to tell if he's a bad coach or just had a ton of bad luck this season. C- 现在还无法断定他究竟是单纯的无能还是单纯的运气不好。 Guards 後卫 ‧ Richard Hamilton: Never seemed like himself after the Chauncey Billups trade. C- 少了枪西，这个Rip不再是以前的Rip。 ‧ Rodney Stuckey: Talented player who still has a lot to learn about being an NBA point guard. C 想在NBA控球，还有很长的路要走。 ‧ Will Bynum: Great season, best player on the team at finishing around the basket. B 本季活塞篮框附近进攻手段最多样化的球员。 ‧ Arron Afflalo: Seemed to have lost some focus, confidence after trade for Allen Iverson. B- 原本被看好的球季却在交易之後迷失了定位。 ‧ Allen Iverson: The only reason it's not an F is because of the salary-cap benefits. D 除了到期合约以外对球队没有任何助益。 Forwards 前锋 ‧ Tayshaun Prince: Even before the back injury, he wasn't playing particularly well. C- 就算在受伤之前表现依然不怎麽样。 ‧ Antonio McDyess: The toughest guy on the team; re-signing him should be a top priority. B+ 底特律最硬颈的竟然是个膝盖残废的老人，续签他为季後首要任务。 ‧ Amir Johnson: Never took full advantage of his time in the starting lineup. C- 先发时没把握住机会。 ‧ Jason Maxiell: Undersized as a player, underwhelming most of the season. C- 身材劣势，场上表现也经常被对手占得优势。 ‧ Walter Herrmann: Streaky shooter, never got into a steady rhythm. C- 不稳定的射手。 ‧ Walter Sharpe: Even by second-round pick standards, he didn't do much. D 就算以二轮新秀的标准来看，也是不及格的。 Centers ‧ Rasheed Wallace: See Iverson comments. D 评价同AI，若没有合约到期的优势，本季表现也是死当。 ‧ Kwame Brown: His hands are bad, but he's big, strong and can defend. B- 手感依然糟糕，。但防守和身材依然是个优势。 http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2009/04/post.html --
