幻想一下也爽！ ** 原文连结：http://tinyurl.com/2dtsqd3 Thunder Insider: With 16 players signed, Kyle Weaver could be on the outside looking in The signing of Royal Ivey last week put the Thunder at 16 contract players, one more than NBA rules permit teams to carry into the regular season. 上周签了Ivey以後，有约在身的球员已经16个啦。NBA规定例行赛球员名单只能登录15人。 That means someone must go. 这也表示雷霆得丢掉一个人。 Mo Peterson will be 33 next month but can still contribute on the court and has earned a reputation in his 10 seasons of carrying a first-class attitude away from it. Don't expect Peterson to be waived. Mo-P下个月就满33啦，但他还是个有战力的球员，而且他工作态度非常好，这10个球季以来 大家都称赞。恐怕雷霆不会想丢掉他。 Daequan Cook, 10 years younger than Peterson, provides much of the same assets and essentially is on a one-year trial run as a 3-point specialist in OKC. Cook figures to be on the opening-night roster as well. Daequan Cook，比Mo-P小10岁，功能跟Mo-P差不多，基本上就是让他在雷霆打个一年看看他 的三分球还行不行。他应该也会占去一个球员名额。 Since the Thunder's coaching staff and front office is pleased with the returning nine-man rotation, and No. 11 overall pick Cole Aldrich is entrenched in the long-term plans, that leaves Byron Mullens, D.J. White and Kyle Weaver as the most likely candidates to be on the outside looking in. 既然雷霆的教练团跟FO很爱9人轮值，而且今年新来的Cole Aldrich也肯定是未来的蓝图之 一，那麽Byron Mullens、D.J. White跟Kyle Weaver这三人其中之一离开机率就很大了。 Mullens has shown the most development of the trio and, as an athletic 7-foot center, is a rare commodity that the Thunder isn't likely to throw away after only one season. White is another big man who can provide rebounding and court spacing with his mid-range shooting ability. And so it appears Weaver could be the last man standing, possibly squeezed out of a fast-developing roster. Mullens已经展现出很大的进步，而且他是个联盟里越来越少的7尺中锋，雷霆不会只让他待 一季就丢掉。White是个在场上能够抓板子、投中距离的长人。因此Weaver将会是那个被挤 出去的人。 The question is how exactly will the Thunder proceed? 问题是雷霆到底会用怎样的方法去做这件事？ The easiest thing for the Thunder to do could be to waive Weaver or whomever it might be that is caught in the numbers game. But when have we known Thunder GM Sam Presti to take the easy route? 最简单的方法就是waive。这样Weaver就可以到别队找机会了。不过Presti会这样白白放人 吗？ It's possible that Presti could turn an out-of-the rotation player into a future asset. While it sounds like a long shot, by now it's safe to believe the Thunder will explore every option. And if there is a logical trade to be made it will be done. Presti有可能会想办法把多余人力化为未来的资产，虽然现在还很难说，不过现在多去探索 各种有可能的方案是个万无一失的决定。如果有合理的交易，相信FO一定会接受。 Even with 16 players signed, Oklahoma City sits more than $6 million below the $58.04 million salary cap. That kind of cap space is enough to afford the Thunder the opportunity to swap a 15th man for a future draft pick — maybe even a first-rounder if OKC is willing to take back a sizeable contract. 虽然已经挤了16个人，但雷霆的薪资总额仍然比今年的薪资上限$58.04M低了$6M左右。这样 的条件让我们有机会再骗个选秀权来－如果附送的球员合约合理的话，搞不好还能骗到第一 轮。 It's doubtful, however, that Presti would pull the trigger on any deal involving a player whose contract had more than one year remaining. But teams like Dallas, Denver, Houston, Orlando and the Los Angeles Lakers are all far enough above the luxury tax that they might be willing partners in an attempt to cut costs. 不过Presti会不会愿意吃掉超过一年的合约，还很难说。但像小牛、金块、火箭、魔术、湖 人这几只球队，薪资都爆表了，搞不好他们会想找个帮手来清薪资。 And Presti has a track record of pulling off such deals. Presti以前也用过这招挖人。 He acquired Eric Maynor from Utah last season by having cap space and being willing to take on Matt Harpring's expiring, insurance-covered contract. Presti gave up only a 2002 draft pick named Peter Fehse who has never played an NBA game. And in 2007, Presti acquired two unprotected first-round draft picks from Phoenix as what amounted to compensation for taking on Kurt Thomas' expiring $8.1 million contract. Presti sent the Suns only a future second-round pick. 就在去年，Presti用薪资空间诱惑爵爵，吃掉了Matt Harpring到期合约，拿到了Maynor， 更好的是Harpring的约是保险付的，雷霆不用多花钱。相对的雷霆只出了2002年二轮球员 Peter Fehse的签约权。大家都知道他根本不会来NBA。2007年，Presti吃了Kurt Thomas的 $8.1M到期合约，从太阳拿了2个未保护的第一轮，而雷霆只送出一个第2轮(加上从魔术拿到 的TE)。 We'll soon find out whether Presti has another trick up his sleeve and is able to this time turn a bench player or two into an improbable bargain. 我们很快就可以知道Presti是不是能够再次大展手脚，把几个不重要的球员当作有价值的筹 码。 -- 『也许你想从我身上寻求许多东西。可是我却一点也没有感觉自己有什麽被需求。』 --
