Kings won't go after big-name free agents 國王不會去追逐自由市場大魚 http://0rz.tw/mboDA Share By Jason Jones [email protected] Published: Wednesday, Jun. 30, 2010 - 12:00 am | Page 1C Last Modified: Thursday, Jul. 1, 2010 - 8:20 am When the clock strikes 9:01 p.m. tonight on the West Coast, the free-agency frenzy begins. Teams can officially line up to make their pitch to LeBron James. They'll try to woo Chris Bosh. They'll hope to entice Dwyane Wade. The Kings, for their part, will sit back and watch how it all plays out. At least eight teams are expected to have at least $10 million in salary cap space, including the Kings, who will have approximately $15 million to spend. 西岸時間今晚九點零一分，自由市場競標活動準時開跑。 各隊可以正式對LBJ出手，當然他們也可以去爭奪Hell no或Wade的 青睞。 至少有八隊擁有一千萬美金以上的薪資空間，國王也是其中之一， 大概有一千五百萬的薪資空間。 But don't expect the Kings to go after the big names in this free-agent market. The Kings will make calls to address their needs in the backcourt, but won't spend a lot for the sake of it and ruin their financial flexibility for the future. The Kings like their young players from last season. The additions of veteran Samuel Dalembert in a trade from Philadelphia, and DeMarcus Cousins and Hassan Whiteside in the draft, make the wait-and-see approach sensible for the Kings. 但不要期待國王會下海抓大魚。 國王會補充後場新血，但不會浪擲大約而破壞了球隊未來的薪資操 作空間。 國王喜歡上季隊中的年輕球員，本季也由費城交易來老將Sammy， 並藉由選秀補進表弟和白邊，球隊因此有餘裕隔岸觀火伺機而動。 "If some of our players develop the way we'd like, you become a more attractive destination (for free agents)," said Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie. "So it might be where we wait another year and see the landscape." James, Bosh, Wade, Amar'e Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer and Joe Johnson are the big names this year. Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki reportedly will opt out of his deal, too, but he isn't expected to leave the Mavericks. There are players who wouldn't be considered worthy of a maximum contract, but could command high salaries such as David Lee or Rudy Gay. But even then, making a move to pay a player a salary that could start at $10 million would be a long shot. "There would have to be a very high sense of incremental improvement to do that," Petrie said. 總管：「只要我們的球員長的像大樹一樣，球隊自然會對自由球員 有吸引力，或許我們可以期待來年。」 James、Hell no、Wade、Amare、Boozer和Joe Johnson是今年最肥 美的大魚，小牛的Dirk預期也會跳脫合約，但外界普遍認為他不會 離開小牛。 市場上也有David Lee和Gay這種不值得用頂薪簽，但依然具有領高 薪條件的球員。 但付給一位球員千萬等級的合同應該不會發生。 總管：「除非這樣的投資能幫球隊取得巨大的進步。」 Also, adding a star would stunt the development of the collection of young players the Kings have added via the draft and trades. The 2009 draft brought Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans and Omri Casspi. The Kings believe they drafted a franchise center in Cousins last week. And the team was giddy when Whiteside, a 7-foot power forward, fell to them in the second round. The Kings are high on forward Carl Landry, the key addition in the three-team deal that sent Kevin Martin to Houston. The core also includes third-year forwards Jason Thompson and Donté Greene. There are two players with more than four seasons of experience. Swingman Francisco García is entering his sixth season. Dalembert will begin his ninth season in the fall. 招募明星球員也會影響球隊透過選秀和交易獲得的年輕球員的 培養。 去年我們選進了新人王reke和卡卡，今年球隊也相信自己得到了未 來的禁區基石表弟。 另外球隊還在第二輪撿到天上掉下來的禮物，七呎大前鋒白邊。 同時，球隊對藍錐有很高的期望，他是我們用馬丁去換來的。 球隊的核心還包括三年級的小湯和小綠，以及兩位征戰四季以上的 老將，即將邁入第六個球季的老賈和第九個球季的Sammy。 ﹝烏錐：我勒？﹞ The Kings need to add depth at both guard spots. A player who could play point and shooting guard would be ideal, especially one who has a consistent outside shot to complement Evans' slashing style. But spending a lot to add that player isn't in the plans. With the new frontcourt players, the Kings don't need a game-changer in the backcourt. After all, the Kings still need to establish a new style of play with their new players. 國王仍須補強後場兩個位置，能控球且具備外線能力的球員是球隊 的目標，最好是有穩定的外線能力以配合reke的球風。 但花太多錢在這方面是不被考慮的，在補足前場後，球隊並不需要 在後場多加一張青眼白龍。 畢竟球隊的首要目標是磨合手上這批新球員。 "Some of that will play itself out as we learn strengths and weaknesses of our team," said Kings coach Paul Westphal. "… I just think the look of our team and the feel of our team will be so different because of our ability to do things in the paint at both ends of the floor that we really couldn't do last year." Petrie said there are free agents who could fill needs. Those players aren't likely to be added July 8, the first day players can sign with teams. "A lot of time in free agency once the tall timber goes down, some of the other players start to come more into focus," Petrie said. "It's an ongoing thing for a month or six weeks sometimes." 西法：「隨著時間我們自然會了解新陣容的強項與弱點，但我認為 因為禁區攻守兩端的提升，球隊已經有了截然不同的面貌。」 總管說有一些自由球員在球隊的名單上，但球隊不可能在七月八號 ﹝開放球員與球隊簽約的首日﹞就把他們羅致旗下。 總管：「等自由市場的大魚被補光了，其他球員才會開始受到注目， 而這大概需要四到八週的時間。」 --
