http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/115685709.html (简略翻) On the same day Carmelo Anthony said he'd consider signing a contract extension with the Denver Nuggets if they don't trade him, Timberwolves basketball boss David Kahn called his team's reported part in a three-way deal with Denver and New York involving Anthony "overstated." Carmelo Anthony 表示如果金块队没把他交易走，他考虑和球队续约。就在同一天， David Kahn 也声称媒体报导牵扯 Anthony 的三方交易「夸大其实」了 Translated, that means an ESPN report last weekend that the Wolves would send a first-round pick and Corey Brewer to Denver to receive Knicks little-used forward Anthony Randolph and accept Eddy Curry's huge, expiring contract is too much to give. 言下之意，ESPN上周报导灰狼队将送出手中其中一枚首轮以及 Corey Brewer 到金块队， 接收被尼克队冰在板凳上的 Anthony Randolph，和 Eddy Curry 那张到期合约，对灰狼 队来说付出代价过高。 "We were asked if there would be a way to participate in the event the other two teams could reach a deal and there likely could be," he said. 「我们被询问到是否有方法参与其中，协助另外两队完成交易。的确有可能。」他说。 He also said he doesn't have any idea whether the Knicks and Nuggets can strike a deal for the All-Star forward, who on Monday told the Denver Post that he'd now "take a real hard look" at signing a three-year, $65 million extension to stay in Denver if he isn't dealt by the Feb. 24 trade deadline. 不过，Kahn 也表示他不晓得尼克队和金块队能否能谈成交易，赶在交易截止日前。 Anthony 在周一告知丹佛邮报，他会认真考虑续约事宜，如果金块队没在二月24日前将他 送走。 The Wolves have had interest in Randolph -- the 14th pick in the 2008 draft who barely has gotten off the Knicks' bench this season -- since early summer. Long-armed, 6-11 and not yet 22, he fits what Kahn considers a need for a talented, athletic forward/center. 从去年夏天到现在，Randolph 始终与灰狼队连结在一起。 The Wolves have cleared large salary-cap space hoping to use the leverage to add talent from salary-cap stressed teams. They did so in acquiring Michael Beasley from Miami last summer for two second-round picks. 灰狼队希望利用空出来大量薪资空间，从处在薪资压力的球队当中争取到潜力球员。 去年夏天 Michael Beasley 的交易案是个例子。 If they accepted Curry and his expiring $11.3 million salary, they'd likely receive the maximum $3 million allowed from the Knicks that they'd use to immediately buy out Curry's contract without him ever arriving in Minnesota. 如果球队真的接受 Curry 那张 11.3M 的到期合约，他们可能另外接收一笔上限 3M 的 现金，拿来买断合约。 Brewer not on block Brewer 不在谈判桌上 Kahn said it's "likely" the Wolves will make a deal by the NBA's Feb. 24 trading deadline, but said it'd be a "tactical" and "surgical" move. Kahn表示，灰狼队将「有可能」交易截止日前进行交易动作。 "I don't expect it to be big," he said. 「但我不预期规模很大。」他补充说。 He also said he isn't looking to trade Brewer, who will become a restricted free agent this summer after the team did not offer him a contract extension last fall. He also said he hasn't determined that Brewer isn't a part of the team's future. He could still be re-signed next summer once a new labor agreement is reached. Kahn 也表示他没有送走 Brewer 的打算。他在夏天将成为受限自由球员，因为球队在去 年秋天未与他完成延长合约。Kahn 表示他还没确定 Brewer 不在球队未来中。一旦新版 CBA 出炉，续留 Brewer 仍有可能。 "Because Corey is in the last year of his deal and because many people like Corey's ability and upside, we receive a lot of calls on him," Kahn said. "We also have a team that's very deep at his position. It's important we listen and weigh what's the appropriate decision for the ballclub. 「因为 Corey 是合约最後一年，而且很多球队喜爱他的能力，我们接到蛮多询问有关他 的来电。」Kahn 说。「球队在该位置人手够多，所以，仔细听取各种提议，评估哪个决定 对於球团最适当是很重要的。」 --
