https://goo.gl/9CDZY1 Once veteran guard Jamal Crawford clears waivers and inks his two-year deal with the Timberwolves, Minnesota will have 11 players signed for next season. 一旦 Jamal Crawford 通过 waiver 程序，与灰狼队签下两年合约，下一季球队阵容中 的保障约将达到11张。 That leaves four traditional roster spots to fill and two more two-way spots for players who will bounce back and forth between the NBA and the Wolves’ G-League franchise in Iowa. 而15人名单剩下四个空位，以及额外两张双向合约，可以在灰狼队和爱荷华的农场球队 间自由升降。 But Tom Thibodeau, the Timberwolves coach and president of basketball operations, said Minnesota will only look to sign three more players to traditional deals, leaving Minnesota’s 15th roster spot open. 不过 Tom Thibodeau 只打算再签下三名球员，保留名单中的第15个位置。 “We’ll look at three more,” Thibodeau said on the Sports Huddle on WCCO-830 AM on Sunday. “We’ll keep one (spot) probably open to keep an eye on guys the rest of the summer and in season. We like to have the flexibility with that 15th spot.” 「我们将再找三名球员。」Thibodeau 接受电台访问中提到。「保留一个空位，随时 留意外界变化，可以让我们操作更有弹性。」 Thibodeau suggested those three signings will include two reserve wings and a point guard to back up newly-signed starter Jeff Teague. Thibodeau feels good about Minnesota’s front-court depth. Thibodeau 暗示这三名球员将有两名锋线替补，和一名替补控卫。且对於前场深度表示 满意。 “We have good quality depth there and we also have the ability to move Jimmy (Butler) to the (power forward), so we can play small and that’ll give us a versatility that way,” Thibodeau said on the Sports Huddle. 「前场深度足够，且如果要摆出矮小阵容的话，Jimmy (Butler)偶而也可打到四号。这 使我们阵容更具变化。」Thibodeau 说道。 Included in that front-court depth is reserve center Cole Aldrich, who has been mentioned in many trade rumors as Minnesota attempted to clear salary cap space. Aldrich was repeatedly brought up in potential sign-and-trade deals with Indiana to bring C.J. Miles to Minnesota, but the Pacers reportedly struck a deal with Toronto on Sunday to send Miles to the Raptors. 当灰狼队有腾出更多薪资空间的想法，替补中锋 Cole Aldrich 的名字不时出现在交易 传闻中，像是近期和溜马队先签後换 C.J. Miles，不过最终是暴龙队和溜马队达成交易。 Thibodeau said Aldrich is still a part of the Timberwolves’ plans. Thibodeau 表示 Aldrich 仍旧在球队计画中。 “The thing is you have size, you need depth up front,” he said. “I think the way you have to build your team today is you need to have size and the ability to play small. You need to do both. So the quality depth up front is key.” 「拥有身材优势之外，也需要深度。」他说道。「现在打造球队，需要身材优势，同时 也有能力打小球。所以前场深度品质是关键。」 The Wolves currently have roughly just $3 million available in cap space. So if they don’t make any moves to clear more cap room, each of their remaining signings will likely be for league-minimum salaries. Still, Thibodeau seems to think the Wolves are in a good spot. 灰狼队现阶段大概仅剩下3M的薪资空间，若接下来没有动作来清除薪资，之後的每一笔 签约只剩下老将底薪可运用。 “The one thing about this year in comparison to last year, the free agency is moving a lot slower,” Thibodeau said. “So there’s still a lot of players up on the board and we feel we’re going to have a good shot at some guys that can really play and we want to continue to look at the shooting component, and, of course, guys that can play defense, so (that’s what) we’ll be locked into as we go forward.” 「相较於去年夏天，今年自由球员市场步调较缓慢。」Thibodeau 说道。「所以目前市 场上仍有许多球员待价而沽，且我们认为还有很好机会签下可用之兵，持续找寻能增强 外围投射和防守的球员。」 --- 内容重点前面几篇都有提到， 目前阵容慢慢在微调成形中，未来看老席如何整合了。 --
