Spurs notebook: Bulls' Thomas an option as trade deadline looms http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/basketball/nba/spurs/stories/ MYSA022206.8C.BKNspurs.notebook.12d9861e.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ If the Spurs are going to make any roster changes, they appear more likely to sign a player instead of trade for one. 如果马刺将对目前的阵容作些改变，那麽他们比较可能签下一名球员而不是藉由交易 去得到新成员。 With the NBA's trade deadline arriving at 2 p.m. Thursday, the Spurs don't have any deals imminent, though they continue to explore their options. Among the possibilities is signing swingman Tim Thomas if Chicago decides to waive him. 随着NBA的交易截止日的接近，马刺仍然没有任何的交易发生，尽管他们持续地探索 他们能作的选择。其中之一就是签下摇摆人 Tim Thomas，如果公牛决定挥弃他的话。 Spurs assistant coach Don Newman has a good relationship with Thomas from their days in Milwaukee. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich also had tried to sign Thomas before he re-signed with the Bucks. 马刺的助理教练 Don Newman待在密尔瓦基时与 Thomas有着不错的交情。马刺的教练 Popovich在当年 Thomas与公鹿续约前也曾试着争取他的加盟。 The Bulls acquired Thomas when they sent Eddy Curry to New York last summer, but he appeared in only three games. After Thomas complained more than once about his role, Chicago officials told him to spend the rest of the season at home in New Jersey while they worked to trade him. 去年夏天公牛将 Eddy Curry送到纽约换来 Thomas，但是他只在三场比赛出现过。在 Thomas不只一次地抱怨他在队中扮演的角色之後，公牛的高层告诉他在他们将他交易出去 之前他可以一直待在纽泽西的家里直到今年赛季结束。 (这句不太确定) Thomas is being paid $14 million this season, the final year of his contract. Thomas这个球季的年薪为一千四百万美金，合约的最後一年。 The Spurs had success after signing Glenn Robinson late last season. Robinson, like Thomas, was not regarded as a hard worker or a defender, but did his best to fit in with the team. 马刺去年在签下大狗 Glen Robinson後得到不错的成果。 大狗，类似 Thomas， 都不 被认为是一名能作苦工的球员或是防守者， 但是他(大狗)去年作了最大的努力尝试着融入 马刺的队形。 While the Spurs can only sign Thomas if the Bulls release him, there is one notable swingman still available on the free-agent market: Latrell Sprewell. 马刺只能在公牛释出 Thomas後签下他，自由球员市场上至今仍有一名值得一提的 摇摆人： Latrell Sprewell. Popovich had a good relationship with Sprewell when both were in Golden State. When the Spurs discussed trying to trade for Sprewell three summers ago, assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo said he would have no problem reuniting with the player who choked him. Pop与 Spree 同在金州时有着不错的关系。 当三年前的夏天马刺讨论着藉由交易 取得 Spree时，助理教练 P.J. Carlesimo 说他已经不在意 Spree当年对他锁喉的往事。 "He's a fantastic competitor," Popovich said. "We've talked about him, and he's somebody I've thought about for a long time. But at this point we're not sure if taking on another person even makes sense or if he'd even be willing to do something like that." "他是个极佳的竞争者，" Pop说道。 "我们讨论过他，他是那种我已经肖想很久的球员。 但是我们并不确定在这个时间点加入另一名球员是否有意义，或者他是否乐意扮演这个球 队所赋予他的角色。" Horry out: One reason the Spurs might try to add another player is their concern over Robert Horry's health. 马刺尝试着签下另一名球员的另一个理由就是基於Horry健康的考量。 Horry's hip was bothering him after Tuesday morning's shootaround, scrapping Popovich's plan to play him against Seattle. Horry的臀部在星期二的投篮练习後就一直困扰着他， 也因此打消了Pop在对上超音速 时让他上场的计画。 The Spurs think Horry's hip injury is related to the lower abdominal strain that has limited him to four games since Jan. 16. 马刺的高层认为 Horry 的臀伤跟他之前的下腹部拉伤有关连，那个拉伤让他在一月16 後只出赛过四场。 --- 中间有一段是在谈超音速的小将Swift这边就不翻了... --- Endorsement for Bowen: Spurs defensive standout Bruce Bowen has bothered Seattle shooting star Ray Allen over the past few seasons, to the point Allen has called Bowen a dirty player. But he endorsed Bowen's candidacy for the team USA Basketball is putting together for this summer's FIBA World Championships. 为 Bowen背书： 马刺的王牌大锁包叔在过去几个赛季一直困扰着超音速的得分後卫 Ray Allen， 也因为这个缘故 Allen称呼 Bowen为一名肮脏的球员。 但令人意外的是他 为包叔美国男篮的候选资格背书， 美国男篮将在今年夏天参加 FIBA举办的世界盃。 "Bruce can shoot and defend," Allen said. "It's definitely good for the team. It shows promise in us putting together a team, and not just the best players. If he can make the team he definitely can make it better. We need guys to fill roles and not worry about getting their shots." " Bowen可以防守和投篮，" Allen说道。 "这对球队来说绝对是好事。 "这对我们组成 真正的team有正面的助益， 而不仅仅是由最好的球员所组队。 如果他能加入球队他绝对 能让球队更好。 我们需要那种能弥补队形缺陷且不担心自己出手次数的球员。" ----- 第一次翻译，请多多指教<(_ _)> (看完一篇文章跟翻译一篇文章果然差很多 Orz) --
