Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur free-agent possibilities for Pistons BY VINCE ELLIS ‧ FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER ‧ May 20, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/ozf8bc The Pistons will monitor the situation in Utah closely this off-season. 活塞将会密切注意爵士最近的动向 The Utah Jazz roster is in a state of flux, with free agency possible for forward Carlos Boozer, center Mehmet Okur and shooting guard Kyle Korver, and the restricted free-agent status of power forward Paul Millsap. Boozer、Okur以及Korver都拥有player option，再加上一个RFA的Millsap 目前爵士的roster是尚未定型的状态 The thinking is the Pistons might be able to acquire a player from the Jazz if it is dead-set against paying the NBA's luxury tax. 假如爵士想避开豪华税的门槛 活塞有可能会从爵士那边捞到一个球员 Greg Miller, who heads the family that owns the Jazz, was emphatic to KSL-TV in Salt Lake City last weekend that the team will pay the tax if it means keeping Millsap. There's still uncertainty about whether Boozer, Okur and Korver will return or opt out of their deals and become free agents. 爵士的老板在上周於盐湖城的KSL-TV郑重声明，如果为了留下Millsap他们愿意付豪华税 但Boozer、Okur、Korver到底会不会执行跳脱仍是未知数 The Pistons expect to be about $20 million under the salary cap this summer. 今夏活塞距离薪资上限，约略是20M有余 (总共合约为$33,919,243) The salary cap is expected to drop to about $57 million next season, but more important, the luxury-tax threshold is expected to fall to $68 million, which kicks in a penalty for every dollar over the threshold. 下个球季预估薪资上限会调到57M 但更重要的是，豪华税门槛将会下降至68M It's expected the Pistons would have little interest in Korver, who had surgery Monday to remove scar tissue from his right wrist, but with a serious need to upgrade the frontcourt, a case could be made for Boozer, Okur and Millsap. 活塞似乎对Korver有些小兴趣，他在周一进行了消除右手肘伤疤的小手术 但是眼前重要的是如何将前场阵容升级，这答案有可能是Boozer、Okur、Millsap Speculation has centered on the Pistons' interest in Boozer when free agency begins July 1. If he returns to Utah, he and his $12.6-million salary might be trade bait. And Miller didn't seem as committed to Boozer. 推测在7/1自由球员市场开跑後，活塞将会想办法把Boozer弄来 如果她决定留在爵士，她剩一年的12.6M合约也会是交易的好筹码 而且爵士老板Miller似乎没有打算极力争取她留下 "We'd love to have Carlos here," Miller said. "Carlos is a very talented player. I think he would be one who would be considered a marquee player. But I do have concerns about Carlos' defense, and I have some concerns about his ability to lead the team." 我们喜爱Boozer留下来，她是个多才多艺的球员 爵士老板: 我想她会是一个被认为是marquee player的球员 (搭帐篷球员?) 但我也考量过她的防守，以及她领导球队的能力 Okur, a part of the Pistons' 2004 championship, could be a target if he opts out, since 7-footers who can shoot are rare. 而Okur是04年冠军阵容的成员之一 假如他行使跳脱，也会是活塞的目标之一 一个7尺长人又具有投射能力是很稀有的 If the Pistons make Millsap an offer, the Jazz would have the right of first refusal. 如果活塞提供Millsap一份offer，爵士仍拥有优先购买权 --
