※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之铭言： : http://0rz.tw/ed2JC : The Minnesota Timberwolves are equipped with one of the game’s best players : of the past decade. However, Kevin Garnett has been surrounded by front : office ineptitude and has seen his career fly by with only one Western : Conference Finals appearance to show for it. Despite the fact that he just : turned 31 years old, the wear and tear of being a 12 year veteran has to be : fast approaching. The Timberwolves are stuck in mediocrity and need to deal : him while he still commands a very high value. If they decide to hang on to : him, they can anticipate yet another underachieving lottery-bound season in : which Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are sure to enter their already stiff : divisional competition. 灰狼有着其中一个十年来最好的球员：KG。但是从他生涯只打进过一次西区冠军赛可 看出KG似乎已经不适合再留下了。特别是他刚进入了31岁，转眼间已经是个12年的老将了 ，灰狼仍就陷入泥淖之中，并需要交易在KG仍有高价值之前交易他。如果他们打算留下KG ，他们无法接受又拿到一个潜力较低的乐透顺位，特别是在Oden跟Durant会加入西北组 竞争对手的情况之下。 : Aside from superstar Kevin Garnett, the Wolves also have some young talent. : Randy Foye emerged as a great Draft-day trade acquisition and averaged 15.4 : points and 3.8 assists over the final month of the season. The return of : Rashad McCants can only be a stepping stone towards developing one of the : fastest backcourts in the league. 除了KG之外，灰狼仍是有些年轻又充满天赋的球员。 Foye是一个良好的选秀交易，他在这季的最後一个月拿了平均15.4分及3.8助攻。 伤癒归来的McCants会成为让灰狼成为联盟最快後场之一的垫脚石。 : Second round pick Craig Smith came out of nowhere and had a very solid 7.4 : points and 5.1 rebounds off the bench in his first season, including 11.3 : points and 8.1 rebounds over the final month with extended playing time. : Aside from The Big Ticket and the youth movement, Ricky Davis has increased : his trade stock by putting up 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists per game : last season and is entering the final year of a very reasonable $6.8M : contract. An interesting trade scenario the Wolves should explore is a : straight up trade of Ricky Davis for defensive menace Ron Artest. 第二轮的Craig作为一个板凳，有着稳固的绩效，他每场能贡献出7.4分及5.1篮板。 包括他在最後一个月份有较多上场时间时，他每场可以有11.3分及8.1篮板。 除了KG及这些年轻球员外，Davis每场能拿下17分4篮板5助攻，增加了他的交易筹码， 而且他明年将是合约年。一个有趣的交易版本是灰狼可能寻求拿他直接交易防守悍将 Ron Artest。 : The youthful backcourt is under construction, but the glut of similar players : and lack of complimentary big men has doomed this Minnesota team. 年轻的後场仍待开发，但灰狼塞满了太多这种相似的球员，并且缺乏有高度的球员。 Where do they need improvement? 他们还有哪里需要改进？ : The Minnesota Timberwolves need improvement from their front office. Looking : at their roster, it is often difficult to understand why this team was built : with these personnel. They have no true point guards, with Kevin Garnett and : Ricky Davis being their leading assist-men. Instead, they are built with five : guys who all basically rotate at point guard and off guard positions : throughout the game, including Mike James, Troy Hudson, Randy Foye, Rashad : McCants, and Marko Jaric. Then, they have two guys who rotate between : two-guard and small forward, which are Trenton Hassell and Ricky Davis. : Then they basically have KG, Craig Smith and Mark Blount as serviceable big : men, and Mark Madsen is good for six fouls per night. Does this sound like a : solid team to you? No. Kevin McHale needs to reorganize this roster, but : unfortunately he has no roster flexibility because every single player is : under contract for next year. Even worse, all of them but Ricky Davis and : Craig Smith are under contract for the 2008-09 season. 灰狼的制服组需要改进！看灰狼的阵容，灰狼并没有真正的控卫，这点可以从全队最 多助攻的球员是KG跟Davis这点可以看出，但是灰狼有五位球员可以打控卫，包括 M.James、Hudson、Foye、McCants、以及Jaric。Ricky跟Hassell必须轮着打SG跟SF。 基本上可以用的大个就只有KG、Craig跟Blount，Madsen比较适合在每晚拿到六犯。 这听起来像是一个好球队的阵容吗？当然不是！McFail需要改造这个球员名册， 但是不幸的，明年所有球员都有合约在身，更糟的是...2008-09球季约满的只有... Ricky跟Craig Smith。 : Without clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and even positions, the : Timberwolves will be unable to compete in the Western Conference. They need : to disperse the surplus of wing players and bring in a real point guard like : Steve Blake and add some big men to protect the paint. The sad thing is that : they will be picking in a position where wing players are at a premium, and : passing on a player like Jeff Green, Corey Brewer, or Julian Wright will be a : near impossibility for McHale and the Wolves. Instead, they should cross : their fingers and hope that one of the following prospects fall into their : laps with the seventh pick. 没有明确的角色、责任、甚至位置，灰狼在西区不会有竞争力。 灰狼需要交易出过多的摇摆球员以换取像Blake这种真正的控卫，并应增加些大个子来守护 禁区。但令人难过的是，灰狼的选秀位置刚好落在最多摇摆人的地方，McFail最可能选的 就是像J.Green、Corey Brewer或是Julian Wright这些人。而且还得期待他们能掉到灰狼 所属的第七顺位。 : Who should they target? 目标该摆在选谁？ - Mike Conley, Jr., Ohio State: : Conley is not expected to still be available at seven, but neither was Rudy : Gay last year or Gerald Green the year before. So, assuming the top point : guard in this year’s Draft is still available, it would be a near : impossibility for Minnesota to pass on him. He would team with Randy Foye, : Mike James, and Rashad McCants to create one of the youngest most dynamic : backcourts in the league. This would then give McHale the opportunity to deal : Ricky Davis for some help and size at the three position, and possibly ship : Marko Jaric to Detroit for never-used Nazr Mohammad. Conley不被预期在第七顺位还能选到，但之前有过Gay跟Gerald Green的先例。 所以，或许还有机会在第七顺位选到这个选秀最佳控球。他将会跟Foye、M.James以及 McCants一起组成一个联盟最年轻且动力十足的後场。这会让McFail有交会交易Ricky 来换取一些在三号位置的帮助，而且有机会用Jaric跟底特律换取被冰冻的回教人。 - Al Horford, Florida: : Horford was a force for the back-to-back National Champion Florida Gators, : being named to the All-Tournament Team at the Final Four in both his : sophomore and junior seasons. The 6-10 junior averaged 13.2 points, 9.5 : rebounds, and 1.8 blocks on his way to 16 double-doubles in 36 starts in the : rugged SEC. He also played twice against consensus number-one overall pick, : Greg Oden. He managed to put up 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks despite : being very ill with mono in a dominating early season victory, and then : poured on 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks against Oden and the Buckeyes : in the National Championship game. Horford是NCAA冠军卫冕者Florida Gators的队员之一，而且在他大二大三都入选了 Final Four的All-Tournament Team。这个6尺十寸的大三生在36场的先发里面有着 16场的Double-double，每场可拿下13.2分9.5篮板以及1.8火锅。他在季中两度对上 准状元Oden时，即使病得有些严重，仍拿下了11分11篮板3火锅，而下一次则在冠军赛中 豪取了18分12篮板及2火锅。 - Joakim Noah, Florida: : Despite the overwhelming talent at the small forward position that will be : available at this pick, the Wolves should grab an energy guy who can grab : rebounds, push the ball on the break, and literally annoy opposing players in : the paint. If Brandan Wright, Yi Jianlian and Al Horford are already off the : board, Joakim Noah is the best option. He would best be utilized next to : Garnett, because they both have a competitive fire that only cares about : winning, and Noah would compliment Garnett’s offensive abilities by cleaning : up the boards and putting balls back in the hoop. Hopefully, Garnett’s : veteran leadership will also be able to morph the rather childish demeanor of : this back-to-back champion Gator into a mature leader on the floor. 即使在第七顺位有一堆有无尽天赋的小前锋可以选，灰狼需要在这里选个充满能量，能抓 下篮板，破坏对手进攻，以及在禁区搅和的球员。如果选不到B.Wright、易建联跟 Al Horford，Noah会是最好的选择。他会是KG以外最好用的球员，因为他的竞争心只在乎 胜利，同时他能让KG更轻松的发挥进攻端的能力，他能抓下篮板，并把没进的球补进。 KG的领导能力很有希望能同时使这个仍显稚嫩的两届冠军球员在场上更加成熟。 - Jeff Green, Georgetown: : Green may be the best fit of the three main options at the wing. He is a very : physical player who can pull down rebounds and create shots for his teammates : on offense. His 6-9, 235 lb frame enables him to play physical around the : hoop and would be a strong upgrade over Hassell and allow Davis to stay at : the two guard spot. He was also the leader of the Georgetown team that : reached the Final Four and he averaged a healthy 14.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, : and 3.2 assists during his junior season. Green可能是在这三者中最好的选择。他是一个体能相当好的球员，他能抓下篮板， 并为队友在进攻端制造投篮机会。他的6-9, 235 lb的身材及体能能使他更容易的进攻 篮下，他会是进阶的Hassell，并可以使Ricky待在SG。他同时是个球队的领导者， 他带领了Georgetown进到了四强，在大三平均拿下了14.3分，6.4篮板以及3.2助攻。 : Picks since 2000 : The Timberwolves have probably been the single-worst drafting team of the : past decade. They had to forfeit picks in 2001, 2002, and 2004 due to an : illegal secret contract agreement between the Timberwolves and Joe Smith in : violation of the NBA’s salary cap rules. Based upon an arbitrator's original : ruling, the Minnesota Timberwolves forfeited their own first-round draft : picks in the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 NBA Drafts, were fined $3.5 : million, and the contract between Joe Smith and the Wolves was voided. : Eventually the league awarded the Timberwolves their first-round picks in : 2003 and 2005 due to sustained excellent behavior in their operations. : However, as expected, their draft picks have been very poor since this : violation was originally punished. 灰狼可说是10年来在选秀上获得最少帮助的球队，一切都是因为跟Joe Smith的密约事件 ，被NBA官方取消了2001～2005的选秀（虽然後来归还了2003及2005）但损失仍是相当大 。 以下是历年的选秀结果 2006 Brandon Roy, 6th (交易到拓荒者) Craig Smith, 36th Bobby Jones, 37th (交易到76人) Loukas Mavrokefalidis, 57th 2005 Rashad McCants, 14th Bracey Wright, 47th 2004 被取消第一轮选秀权 Blake Stepp, 59th 2003 Ndudi Ebi, 23rd Rick Rickert, 55th 2002 被取消第一轮选秀权 Marcus Taylor, 52nd 2001 被取消第一轮选秀权 Loren Woods, 46th 2000 Igor Rackocevic, 51st -- ╦─。┬ ╮╮╮。═╮╭═。。═╮╮ 。。═╮╭ 。 。╭═。╭─。 ◢ │ │∥ │││╠═╮╠─ ╠═╯││││ │。 │╭╯╠─ ╰═╮ ◣ ◥ 。 。┴ 。╰╰╙═╯╙─╯╰ ╰ ╙╯╯╰═。╚═╯╙╯ ╙─╯。─╯ ◤ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣◥ ＭＩＮＮＥＳＯＴＡ ◣ρM.L. ＊* . ￣￣￣￣ --
