Trade me now, Carter demands
Frustrated Raptor star goes public
'It's just time for me to look after me'
DOUG SMITH
SPORTS REPORTER
Vince Carter says it's time to go.
Carter:是离开的时候了
"It's time for the truth: I want to be traded, I'm ready to be traded,"
the 27-year-old Raptor all-star told the Star last night.
是该让事实显示的时候了,我想被交易,我也准备好了被交易,
这位27岁的暴龙队全明星球员昨晚这样告诉多伦多星报.
"First and foremost, this has nothing to do with the fans or the city,
it's just time for me to look after me."
最优先以及最重要的是,我已经不能在为球迷以及这个城市做些什麽了,
我想这是我为自己打算的时候了.
Carter, who has been the subject of intense trade rumours since
the end of the season, said his decision to go public last night i
s because he's frustrated at the pace of trade talks the Raptors h
ave been pursuing.
从上个球季结束开始,Carter一直处在被交易的流言中,他说他愿意公开说出他的决定
是因为他在本季球队推动交易的过程中感到挫折.
He said he's made it known to new general manager Rob Babcock and
first-year head coach Sam Mitchell that he wants out of Toronto
but he isn't sure they are investigating possible deals as strongly
as they could be.
他说他已经通知了新的GM Rob Babcock,以及菜鸟教练Sam Mitchell,他想被交易的决定,
但是他不确定他们是否有在认真的研究所有交易的可能性.
"I want a fair shot at being on the market and being traded and
I feel I haven't had that fair shot," Carter said in a telephone interview.
"This is about doing what's best for me."
我想要一个公平的机会在市场上展现我的身价,这是我认为我过去一直没有得到的,
Carter在电话中做了如上的表示,Carter说:我想这是对我自己而言最好的.
Carter's desire to be dealt stems mainly from increasing frustration
regarding the future of the team. If he's not dealt by the beginning of
the regular season Nov. 3, he will enter his third straight season with
a new head coach and second in a row with a new general manager,
playing for a team that has missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
卡特希望被交易离开这个就未来而言越来越挫折的球队.如果他没办法在开季前NOV.3
被交易,这将会是他连续第三个球季和不同教练以及第二个球季和不同的GM.为这个
已经连续错过两季季後赛的球队打球.
"It's been since 2000 when we were on a certain level (the team advanced to
the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals that season) and it's been going down
since then," said Carter, who averaged more than 24 points a game for the
Raptors last season when Toronto finished 33-49 and out of the playoffs.
Carter说,在2000年,我们还是一个有相当程度的球队(当年进入NBA东区半准决赛),
但是从那以後球队状况就每下愈况,Carter在多伦多上季33-49并错过季後赛的球季中
平均得到24分.

'I can spend the rest of my career giving guys a chance. It's time to move on.'
Vince Carter
我可以在我未来的职业生涯去给其他人机会,只是现在是离开的时候了,Carter说
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's time to resurrect my career."
这是一个复活我职业生涯的机会.
Babcock, who took over from the fired Glen Grunwald in early June, has
resisted all talk about a Carter trade since assuming his position. While
it is hardly a secret that Carter's agents have pushed for a deal, Babcock
has said repeatedly he wouldn't make a trade just for the sake of it and
would only deal Carter if it made sense for the Raptors.
Babcock,刚刚在七月接下被Fire的前任GM Glen Grunwald的职务,在接下之後,
他抗拒任何有关於Carter的交易,但即使如此,也很难去掩饰Carter的经纪人正在
推动Carter的交易. Babcock曾经不断重复强调他不会为了交易Carter而交易,
除非对球队有好处.
"Some people might say you're not giving these new guys a chance," Carter
said. "I can spend the rest of my career giving guys a chance. It's time
to move on."
"有些人可能会说你没有给这些新的团队一个机会",卡特说:我可以在我未来的职业生涯
去给其他人机会,只是现在是离开的时候了.
Carter played in 73 of Toronto's 82 regular-season games last season and
there are questions around the NBA about what his status is among the game's
elite players. Three seasons ago, he was considered one of the great young
players in the NBA but two injury-riddled seasons, where he had to deal with
knee injuries, saw his reputation take a huge hit.
Carter上季在82场球季赛中出赛73场,针对他是否是联盟的顶尖球员有许多的疑问,
三个球季以前,他被认为是最伟大的年轻球员中的其中之ㄧ,但是在连续两季的受伤球季後,
针对他是否能处理他膝盖的伤势对他的名声有着巨大的打击.
"I don't mind taking shots for this team, I know what my (reputation) was
and I was the guy everyone was looking to," he said. "But it's time to worry
about me. I know that sounds hard but it's how I feel."
我不在意为球队投篮得分,我知道我之前的名声是从何而来,我之前是每个人所看到的
那个人,卡特说,但是这是一个为自己打算的时候了,我知道这相当的困难,但是这是我
目前自己的想法.
Carter is the only high-profile Raptor player to sign a contract extension
in Toronto. Unlike Tracy McGrady and Damon Stoudamire before him - two
promising players who engineered their own departures - the 6-foot-7 swingman
signed a six-year contract extension worth more than $90 million (all figures
U.S.) after the 2000-01 season. He still has three years - plus a fourth at
his option - to run on that deal and will make more than $12 million this
season. The Raptors are scheduled to open training camp on Oct. 5.
Carter是有良好表现的球员中,唯一肯和多伦多续约的,不像T-Mac以及Damon Stoudamire,
两个大有前途的球员选择离开加入其他的球队,Carter,6-7寸的摇摆人,签下了九千万的
合约在2000-01年球季後,他还剩下三年的合约以及第四年的选择权,根据他的合约,本季
他的薪水将超过1200万.Raptor的训练营将再十月五日开始.
Finding fair value for Carter - still considered one of the top half-dozen
athletic talents in the league - will be difficult.
针对Carter找一个公平的评价,就算只考虑半打最有体能天份的联盟球员中也是困难的.
"I want them to get someone of fair value. ... but I'm looking for a new
start for Vince right now," he said. "I've never been this way, but it's time.
I've looked around at so many rosters trying to find what would help this
team and it's hard."
我希望他们得到公平的评价,但是我想要为我自己找一个新的开始,Carter说,我之前从未
这样做过,但是我想现在是时候了,我曾经到处查看球员想这为球队带来帮助,但是这相当
困难.
Carter said he wouldn't want to get traded to a Western Conference team and
he's not adamant about joining a club with a legitimate chance to win the NBA
title any time soon.
Carter说他不想被交易到西区球队,而且他不一定要加入一个马上可以赢得冠军的球队.
He conceded it would be interesting to play in New York ("It's the mecca of
basketball," he said) despite the presence of ex-Raptor coach Lenny Wilkens,
with whom Carter clashed in 2002-03."I would love to play in Florida
(where he was born and maintains an off-season home). It's just time to move."
他承认加入尼克也许相当有趣("这是篮球中的麦加圣地"卡特说) 尽管他们的教练是之前
和Carter有过冲突的Lenny Wikens,另外我也喜爱为Florida(Miami or Orando)打球
(这是Carter生长的地方以及他在球队暑假时後的家).不论如何,是我离开的时候了,
卡特说.
