Simmons on new deal: 'It's a business'; happy with $20 million contract 西蒙斯谈新合约：在商言商，能拿到二千万的合约很棒。 Jonathon Simmons' time with the Spurs came to an end after agreeing to terms with the Orlando Magic 西蒙斯和魔术达成协议後意味着他的马刺生涯要划下句点了。 http://ww2.hdnux.com/photos/62/07/35/13137789/15/920x920.jpg Jonathon Simmons walked out of a gym on Friday afternoon with a better understanding of what the NBA is all about. Simmons had just agreed to a three-year, $20 million deal with the Orlando Magic, one day after having his qualifying offer pulled from the Spurs and becoming an unrestricted free agent. 周五刚从体育馆走出来的他对於NBA这个大观园有了更多不同体认，就在马刺将 西蒙斯的「合格报价」撤回後的隔一天，他和魔术队签下了3年2000万的新约。 "It just business," Simmons told the Express-News. "It's not disappointing to me at all. That's just how it is. ... I wasn't disappointed about anything. I believe everything happened for a reason. "I'm really not surprised," Simmons continued. "I didn't know what to expect. I was just trying to take it a day at a time and see what the opportunity was going to be." Yes, it's a business. Simmons found that out firsthand. 这只是个在商言商的生意谈判，西蒙斯告诉记者：对我而言这也没什麽好失望的 ，这就只是…我并没有感到失望，因为我了解每件事的发生都有背後的原因。 我也没被这结果吓到，他补充道：我也不知道该去期待什麽，我就只是等着看， 看看我在自由市场上会有什麽机会。 The 27-year-old Houston native walked into free agency with the intentions of securing a deal of at least $50 million. But it has not been a good offseason for many restricted free agents. Like Simmons, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Nikola Mirotic, JaMychal Green , Alex Len, even Spurs newcomer Joffrey Lauvergne have all realized how rigid the restricted market is. 这位27岁的休士顿当地人今年踏入自由球员市场，并且一开始预期有机会得到一 份总价5000万的大合约，但今年对於许多自由球员而言成果并不丰硕。 "No one expected it to be this tough," said Simmons. "A guy like me still has to deal with politics at the end of the day. I was a low-tier guy still, after what I did, it still wasn't enough. I know that. I was expecting more, but I'm happy. It's $20 million. People don't get that every day." 没人想到会这麽惨，西蒙斯说：到最後，我这种小角色还是得面对各种残酷的现 实，我只是个普通的角色球员，即便我以为我己经证明了我的能耐，但结果告诉 我，我的努力还远远不够。我虽然期待大约，但是现在这样也还不错啦，二千万 的合约也不是随随便便就能够拿得到的。 Simmons averaged 6.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 78 games with the Spurs last season. He admitted playing time was a factor in deciding his next location. Though Simmons played 78 games last season, eight times as a starter, and averaged 17.8 minutes, the competitor in Simmons wanted more. "I want to be in position to play a decent amount of minutes per game, " said Simmons. "I feel like I can excel playing enough minutes per game. I explained that to Pop (Gregg Popovich) and he understand that. ... I want to be able to continue to improve and still make a name for myself and I wasn't going to do that (with the Spurs). Not like I wanted to." 西蒙斯上季在78场的赛事中平均6.2分、2.1篮板，他坦言出赛时间对於他选择下 家是一个重要考量，上赛季的78场赛事(包含8场先发)仅能有17.8分钟的上场时 间，满足不了他的热血。我想要有足够的上场时间，我觉得多打一点我会有更好 的表现，我也向波波提过，他也了解…我需要时间去证明自己并打出自己的身价 ，但是在马刺我并不能得到这种机会。 Asked why he felt the Magic was a good choice, Simmons said the opportunity to become a better impact player was too good to pass up. "I have goals and I'm trying to attack them," said Simmons. "I think Orlando is the perfect place to do that." Though his time with the Spurs officially ended, Simmons has no hard feelings. He recalled Game 6 against the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals, a game he considers the most memorable as a Spur. 问他为何选择魔术时，他说在那里他有更多机会发挥他的影响力。虽然在马刺的 时光即将告终，但他对此没有怨怼，他仍然怀念在马刺的日子，包含在西区半决 赛第六场比赛是他认为很值得记念的一场比赛 With no Tony Parker or Kawhi Leonard, Simmons received his first career postseason start, finishing with 18 points and four assists. In front of his family and friends at the Toyota Center in Houston, he helped the Spurs eliminate the Rockets to advance to the conference finals. "That was the one," said Simmons of the game. "It was surreal." A new chapter awaits in Orlando, where Simmons will see a familiar face in Chad Forcier, a former Spurs assistant and current lead assistant for the Magic. 在小跑车和可爱都缺阵下，西蒙斯得到季後赛第一次先发的机会，并得到18分4助 攻，并且在家乡父老见证下他协助马刺淘汰火箭并晋级西区冠军赛，那实在太棒了 ，爽到令人难以置信。 而新的篇章在等着西蒙斯开启，在那里有一个熟悉的脸孔等着他--Chad Forcier (前任马刺助教，并且仍是魔术队助攻记录保持人) -- QQ the Juicy就这样走了，但是在魔术队真的会有更好的上场机会吗!!? --
