Denver trying to seal a deal for A.I. Source: Nuggets "in driver's seat" By Mark Kiszla and Marc J. Spears Denver Post Staff Writers Article Last Updated:12/15/2006 01:23:31 AM MST As the front-runner to acquire Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers, the Nuggets are pushing hard to complete a trade for the 31-year-old point guard as early as today. 金块队是现在最努力，想很快完成交易到AI的队伍， According to league sources, the Nuggets are leading the race for Iverson by working aggressively to meet the demands of Philadelphia, which seeks the salary-cap flexibility provided by expiring contracts of veteran players and the draft picks required to rebuild its roster. 根据联盟的消息指出，金块队是在追求AI的队伍当中，是最积极的以及处在领先的地位， 而且他们开出的条件也是76人队所追求的合约年球员以及第一轮的选秀权，可以清掉薪资 的负担以及来重建球队。 With two first-round picks in the 2007 draft, the Nuggets have positioned themselves in "the driver's seat" and are "leading the pack" against league rivals also looking to acquire Iverson, according to a source familiar with negotiations. 金块拥有2007年两个第一轮选秀权，所以跟其他队伍比较起来，在交易AI的竞争下处与领 先的地位。 It's a complicated trade, however, that would involve at least five players, three teams and two draft choices, plus the approval of Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke and Sixers chairman Ed Snider. 这是非常复杂的交易，这将会是指少五名球员，三个队伍以及两个首轮选秀权的交易。这 已经得到两方面 (76人跟金块) 老板的许可了。 From all indications, Philadelphia is more concerned with financial freedom than the raw ability of the players it receives in return for Iverson and his $17.1 million salary. 从一些迹象显示，费城76人队比较关心薪资的问题 (如何解决AI 1710万的合约)，得到怎 麽样能力的球员似乎不是那麽重要。 Key to completing the deal is Denver's ability to persuade a third team to get involved in the trade, with the Nuggets working on at least two fronts Thursday, holding discussions with Dallas and Portland. 要完成这个交易的重要关键是，金块队要劝服第三队来加入这个大型的交易，现在比较有 机会的是达拉斯以及波特兰? (小牛不是说不要了吗?) For Philadelphia's purposes, the most desirable trade bait on Denver's roster is Joe Smith, not for his 5.6 scoring average, but because the veteran big man is earning $6.8 million in the final year of his contract. 76人队的目的是680万合约年的Joe Smith，而不是5.6分的平均得分. With the exception of Smith and two draft picks, however, Denver's end of the deal remains fluid, and could include forward Eduardo Najera, according to an NBA source. 除了Smith跟两个首轮选秀权外，金块的另一个交易的对象还没有确定，听说前锋 Eduardo Najera也有可能被放在这项交易之中。 To satisfy the 76ers' desire for as many expiring contracts as possible, league sources said Denver has held trade talks with Dallas regarding forward Austin Croshere ($7.3 million salary) and Portland for Jamaal Magloire ($8.4 million), both role players in the final year of what would be considered bad contracts except in this situation. 为了满足76人的要求，金块队有跟小牛 (Austin Croshere 730万) 跟波特兰 (Jamaal Magloire 840万) 讨论过他们所拥有的合约年球员，看看有没有交易的可能。 Frustrated by earlier attempts to pry Magloire from Portland by offering Nene, the Nuggets have heard from other less-than-benevolent potential trade partners, including Chicago. The Bulls, however, had their sights set on center Marcus Camby, whom Denver has no interest in moving. 稍早的时候，他们在送NENE到波特兰的这项交易中受到挫败，此外还听到一些有可能的交 易对象如芝加哥队，他们对Marcus Camby有很大的兴趣，但是金块队不想用CAMBY交易。 The hefty financial weight of Nene's new, long-term contract has diminished chances he will be included in the trade. NENE又臭又长的约让他被交易的机会越来越少。 With the seventh-best record in the Western Conference this season and not so much as a single playoff series won since 1994, Denver is willing to take a chance on Iverson's history of off-court drama to obtain his 28.1 career scoring average and a fierce competitiveness that makes the skinny guard the most intimidating player on the court. 对金块来说他们非常希望拥有AI这位强势的後卫加入他们的後场。 "He's unstoppable," Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony said of Iverson, currently the top vote-getter among Eastern Conference guards in balloting for the NBA All-Star Game. "That pretty much explains what he can do on the court." Carmelo Anthony说 "他是无人可挡的"，现在他还是东区明星赛後卫最高票，"这正可以 解释他本身的能力是如此的受大家肯定" Although guard J.R. Smith's name has been floated in discussions, the Nuggets hope to retain him, sources indicated, because this deal will depend more on the fine print of contracts than talent. 虽然J.R. Smith一直出现在交易的名单当中，但是金块希望能够不要交易到他，因为这个 交易的主要焦点是在薪资的对称而不是球员的能力。 Other reported suitors for Iverson include the Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota, Boston and Miami. Although Philadelphia has indicated interest in getting a deal done quickly, if the Sixers decide to wait, the list of competitors against Denver could grow. That's why the Nuggets are in a hurry to end the competition. 其他想要交易AI的队伍有，快艇队、塞尔提克队、热火等等，虽然76人希望能够早点交易 成功，假如76人队决定等待更好的交易，那对金块来说，拖的越久竞争者越多，所以这就 是为什麽金块要尽早完成交易的原因了。 大家看看罗~~~不过大致上就是那些交易~~~ 可以来讨论讨论............. --
