※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之铭言： : Wolves insist no deal on tap : http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/basketball/13937917.htm : The NBA trading deadline is today, and Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey : reiterated Wednesday the Wolves are bears rather than bulls in this market. : Wolves management has had discussions with teams in the normal course of : business, but Casey said he talked with vice president of basketball : operations Kevin McHale after Tuesday night's game and came away feeling : nothing was imminent. 今天是NBA的交易截止日，Casey再次重申灰狼在交易市场上还是炙手可热的。管理阶层 已针对几桩日常交易做过讨论，但是Casey说根据他在周二晚上与McHale讨论的结果是目 前球队还没到非交易不可的地步。 : Casey also said all-star forward Kevin Garnett is not on the market, as : far as the coach is concerned, despite vague reports nationally speculating : otherwise. : "He's not tradable for me," Casey said. "It'd be just like saying, : 'Is Michael Jordan tradable for Chicago?' Kevin Garnett is not the : issue with us right now." : Still, the Wolves might feel pressure to make another move by today's : 2 p.m. deadline. They blew a 19-point lead Tuesday night at Washington : and lost 90-78. That was their seventh loss this season when leading by : at least 10 points. : Minnesota's hopes of making the playoffs are fading fast. At 23-30, they : began Wednesday five games behind Denver for first place in the weak : Northwest Division. They are 2-8 in their past 10 games. Casey也表示站在教练的立场来说，KG绝对不会出现在交易市场上，虽然那些评估或是小 道消息不这麽认为。 他说："对我来说，KG是不可能也不该被交易的，这就好像在说公牛队会不会交易MJ一样 ，对我们来说他现在并不是交易筹码。" 不过，灰狼应该还是会有在交易截止前进行交易的压力。他们才刚在周二晚上搞砸了一 场领先19分的比赛，这已经是本季第七次领先10分以上被逆转的比赛了。 灰狼晋级季後赛的希望正在快速幻灭中。23胜30败，在实力较差的西北组落後给金块五 场，前十场是糟糕的2胜8败。 : "There are a lot of phone calls going back and forth between the teams : and different people, but there's nothing that's going to happen or close : to happening," Casey said. : Of course, Casey also told his players and reporters the night of Jan. 25 : that no trades were coming. The next day, the Wolves traded Wally Szczerbiak : and Michael Olowokandi to the Boston Celtics. Obviously, things can change : in a heartbeat. Casey表示："有很多球队或是相关人士都打电话来表达交易的构想，但是可以说没有一 个是有希望成真的。" 当然，在今年01/25那天晚上，Casey也是这样对球员和记者说的。结果隔天就发生了那 笔大交易。显然地，任何事情都有可能在瞬间改变。 : But Casey sounded as if a trade doesn't make much sense. : "I don't know if there's anything out there right now that's really going : to help us improve our team that much," he said. "Our No. 1 thing is : developing these guys, jelling these guys, (and to) keep working." : In terms of supply and demand, the Wolves have four point guards, : including two who aren't playing. Troy Hudson is injured and not available. : He is sidelined with a sore right ankle and is in the process of determining : whether to have surgery, although at this point he's leaning against it. : But his status makes him essentially untradable because he could be out for : the rest of the season. 但是从Casey的谈话听起来，交易并不会对灰狼的现状有所改变。 他说："现在来说我不知道有什麽东西能够对我们有那麽大的帮助。我们的首要任务是 要尽快把球队整合起来，让球员们能够不断努力。" 以供需来说，灰狼目前有四个PG，其中包括了两名伤兵。Hudson是其中之一，他目前因 为脚踝酸痛而无法上场，同时也正在评估是否需要动手术。也因为这点，他没办法当作 交易筹码，因为他很有可能在本季无法出赛。 : Former starter Marko Jaric said he thinks he's a candidate to be traded. : He was demoted earlier this month and hasn't been a part of the Wolves' : rotation lately. : Casey often has said he wants to find a way to incorporate Jaric back : into the mix. But Jaric hasn't played since Feb. 10, in part because of : tendinitis in his left knee, which he said is no longer a problem. The : bigger issue seems to be that the Wolves don't have a place for him in : their new rotation. : 'Definitely I am a candidate," to be traded, Jaric said after Wednesday's : practice. "If you don't play for the last two weeks and you go from the : starting lineup to not playing … as much as people say they want you here, : something's wrong, obviously." : Asked if any deals might be in the works for Jaric, his agent, Bill Duffy, : said merely, "No." : Briefly: Casey said he will keep center Mark Blount in the starting lineup. : Blount did not score in 25 minutes, missing both of his shots, during : Tuesday's loss at Washington, his first start with the Wolves. 之前的先发控卫Jaric则表示他认为自己是交易标的之一。他在本月份从先发被降至板凳 ，甚至在最近不被登录在球员名单当中。 Casey曾经多次表示他正在试着让Jaric融入到球队当中。但是他从02/10後就没有再上场 过，有一部分原因是他左膝的伤势，不过他自己认为膝伤已经不再影响他了。比较大的 原因是灰狼的新队型已经没有他的容身之地了。 Jaric在周三的练习之後提到："很明显的我是交易标的之一。当你已经持续两个礼拜没 有上场，甚至是从先发名单转变至此；就算有再多人告诉你他们需要你，我想真正的状 况应该已经很明显了。" 询问了Jaric的经纪人Bill Duffy是否有任何Jaric可能被交易的消息时，他则是仅仅说 了个"No"。 另一方面，即使Mark Blount在输给巫师的那场比赛中上场25分钟一分未得，Casey表示 他仍然会让Blount继续待在先发名单当中。 --
