火箭队应该追求CP3 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/7121115.html Paul's likely availability gives Morey an opening By RICHARD JUSTICE Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle July 22, 2010, 10:56PM 自翻 Seeing how Rockets general manager Daryl Morey hasn't asked for my help in forever, I'm hoping someone slips this column under his door. There is no advice like free advice, and I'm nothing if not cheap. OK, here goes. If New Orleans point guard Chris Paul becomes available, Morey has to be first in line. 对於想给Morey的一些忠告, 我希望有人把这篇文章塞进Morey的门缝里面. 我想说的是, 如果纽澳良愿意放了CP3, 那Morey就应该彻夜去排队好抢个头香. Gee, Richard, that's great advice. I'll bet Daryl never would have thought of that one on his own. What else do you have? Are you going to tell Ed Wade he should ask the Cardinals to put Albert Pujols in a Roy Oswalt deal? Now you're being silly. Besides, I have no idea if Morey reads the newspaper. He might spend his spare time plucking his eyebrows for all I know. He might not know Paul is unhappy. 我不清楚Morey会不会看到这篇文章, 不过他可能不知道CP3现在处於一个很不开心的状况. Anyway, there are a couple of small hurdles between the Rockets and having Paul, 25, lead them to the Western Conference finals. One is the Hornets might not even trade him. Paul might be plotting an exit strategy, but he needs the Hornets to play along because he's signed for two more years. 然而火箭队要能得到Paul还是有一些难关需要解决. 首先就是黄蜂队可能根本不想让他离开. CP3或许已经待不下去了, 但是他还是得身披黄蜂战袍只因他还有两年多的合约. Paul's departure from New Orleans would be as crushing to the Hornets as LeBron James' exit was to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Hornets have a new coach (Monty Williams) and general manager (Dell Demps), and they'll surely spend some time attempting to convince Paul to give them a chance to upgrade the roster. Another problem is Paul has expressed zero interest in playing for the Rockets. But Paul has no say in where he goes, and unless he wants to take a couple of years off, he'll play for the team that acquires him. 如果Paul离开了纽奥良, 很可能就像是LBJ离开了克里夫兰一样会带来冲击. 黄蜂队有了个新教练以及GM, 而他们肯定会努力说服CP3留在阵中. 另一个问题是CP3现在对於休士顿完全没有兴趣. 不过由於他并没有主动权去选择自己的归宿, 所以如果黄蜂队接受我们的筹码, 他还是有可能过来的. Plenty to offer 大量的筹码 This is where Morey's yearlong pursuit of Chris Bosh could pay off. Morey has spent the past 14 months accumulating young players and an extra first-round draft pick hoping to convince Bosh to play for the Rockets. Morey当初为了追求Bosh所累积的筹码要派上用场了. 他在过去的十四个月之中努力收集年轻球员, 还有一个第一轮选秀就是为了Bosh. Unless the Lakers deal Andrew Bynum, no team seems likely to make the Hornets a better offer than the Rockets. Franchises have few opportunities to acquire a player as good as Paul. If you ranked the NBA's top 10 players, he'd be somewhere on the list, perhaps below only Kobe Bryant, James, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. The Rockets have gotten better this offseason with the return of Yao Ming and the addition of Brad Miller. Before you write and tell me Yao will get hurt, you could be correct, but he's a risk the Rockets have to take. He's the only player on their roster in the NBA's top three at his position. He's one of those rare players who is impossible to replace. Yes, the Rockets are placing a lot of faith in a fragile left foot, but to this point, they have no reason to believe he can't come back and be productive. 除非湖人愿意拿Bynum去交易, 否则目前看起来没有任何一队能够开出比我们更好的条件. 一般的球队要能拿到Paul这种球员是相当不容易的. 如果你对现役NBA球员作前十的排名, 他肯定会在这个名单之中. 在他前面的可能只有Kobe, LBJ, Wade, Durant以及Camelo. 火箭队在姚明回来之後, 还有大米加入阵中, 看起来还不错. 有些人或许会乌鸦嘴说姚明有可能再受伤, 不过我得告诉你火箭队愿意睹这一把. 在中锋这个位置他绝对是目前现役球员的前三名. 他是那种极少数无法取代的球员之一. 对, 他的左脚踝或许不是那麽令人放心, 但是球队对於他的归来还是充满信心. All eyes on Yao 靠你啦姚明 They'll be conservative with his playing time, but because he was under contract, keeping him was by far their best option. Yao and Miller make the Rockets a likely playoff team again. Continuity will help as well. Morey has made huge changes in a short time. Only Yao, Shane Battier, Aaron Brooks and Chuck Hayes were around for the start of training camp two years ago. Yao, Kevin Martin, Jordan Hill, Patrick Patterson and Miller weren't on the roster at the beginning of the 2009 season. Having them together for a full training camp should cut down on the turnovers and improve the team defense. But the Rockets need another special player. Brooks had a good season, but he is not the elite player Paul is. 球队会小心翼翼处理他的上场时间. 姚明跟大米会让火箭队重返季後赛. Morey在极短的时间内就带来相当大的改变, 只有姚明, Battier, 小AB还有Hayes是两年前开季看的到的阵容. 姚明, 马丁大夫, J.Hill, PP还有大米都不在09的开季阵容之中. 能够让这群人聚在一起做完整的训练应该能够有效减少失误, 加强团队防守. 不过火箭队还需要一个关键的球员. 小AB打的不错, 不过他终究不是CP3等级的. Patience is a virtue 耐心是美德 When Morey didn't get Bosh, he held fast. Other than James and Wade, none of the other big-money free agents interested him. Rather than make a questionable deal, he held firm. 当Morey失去了Bosh, 他就不再有动作了. 因为除了LBJ跟Wade, 还没有什麽大咖能引起他注意. Morey might not do anything else between now and the beginning of training camp, but he has positioned himself to make a deal. Paul might be his best option, but Anthony, Danny Granger or Andre Iguodala could be available. 或许从现在到训练营开始Morey都不会有动作了, 不过他早就做好交易的准备. CP3或许是目前看来最好的目标, 不过Anthony, Granger 还有 Iguodala也值得观察. And if Morey does nothing, we'll have a team that plays unselfishly and with energy and toughness, a team that never backs down. Some of Morey's options might be better than others, but all are pretty good. 就算Morey今年不再做任何的交易或补强, 我们也已经拥有一支无私而且充满活力的球队. Morey对於补强球队有很多的选择性, 像CP3这样的球员就是很诱人的, 不过Morey总是会做出正确的判断. --
