※ 引述《Joba07 (騙人布)》之銘言： : http://knickerblogger.net/finally-a-definitive-answer-on-jeremy- lins-contract-status/ : While it pains me to basically just re-post what I originally posted five : days ago before I was convinced to edit my original piece, now that we have : apparently as definitive of an answer on the topic as we’re going to get : from the great Howard Beck from the New York Times, I figured it made sense : to share the situation (which, again, has finally been verified by Beck). 這是篇以查證過的消息。 : Here, then, is the contract status for Jeremy Lin… 有關Lin得合約。 : Lin is not eligible for so-called “Early Bird Rights,” which means a player 我們沒有他的沒有早鳥權。 早鳥權，在球隊打至少超過兩年的球員才能擁有，這個權力 可以隨著交易轉移到別隊。 : that has played for a team for at least two years. In the NBA CBA, you can : transfer your Bird Rights if you were traded from one team to another. So if : Lin had been traded from the Golden State Warriors to the Knicks, the Knicks 所以如果Lin是從勇士隊交易過來的話，我們會擁有的他早鳥權。 然而，他被勇士隊給釋出了，早鳥權限的計算在此同時被重置。 : would have his “Early Bird Rights.” However, since he was waived by the : Warriors, as soon as he was waived, his Bird Rights reset. Therefore, Lin : counts only as having played for the Knicks for one single season. : Landry Fields, having played for the Knicks for two years, has “Early Bird : Rights.” What it basically comes down is that the Knicks are allowed to go : over the cap to pay Fields anything up to the average salary (which is Fields在尼克打了兩年，所以我們有他的早鳥權，我們可以在不受薪資空間限制下， 對他續約，薪水約是500萬鎂。 : roughly $5 million). Since Lin has no Early Bird Rights, the Knicks are not : allowed to go over the cap to re-sign him (besides a general raise of paying : him 125% of his current salary – this is an exception available to all free : agents in the NBA. Their current team can offer them a raise for the next : season of 120% of their current salary. For Lin that’d be roughly $1 million : (it is 125% for Lin since he is a restricted free agent, and your qualifying : offer for a restricted free agent has to be at least 125% of the player’s : current salary, so that is the bare minimum the Knicks can offer Lin for next : season – that extra 5% is no chump change). 尼克並沒有Lin的早鳥權，所以在薪資帽的限制下尼克無法對他續約，除非使用一個 例外條款，不過這個例外條款並沒有什麼吸引力。 : Since the Knicks will be over the $58 million salary cap this offseason but : under the $70 million luxury cap, the Knicks will have access to both of the : major exceptions. The Bi-Annual Exception (which is roughly $2 million and : available, naturally enough, every other year – so long as you’re over the : cap and under the luxury cap) and the Mid-Level Exception, which is roughly 尼克明年的薪資將會超過薪資帽但是低於豪華稅門檻，因此有兩個例外條款， 約200萬的雙年條款和約500萬的中產條款。 : $5 million (available every year, provided you are over the cap and under the : luxury cap). They can pay Lin under either of the two. : Where the Knicks luck out is the fact that both Lin and Fields, since they’ : re coming off their initial two-year contracts (while the Knicks did not gain : Lin’s Early Bird Rights, they at least did inherit his original two-year : contract), they are both restricted free agents this year. Not only that, but : they are governed by the so-called “Gilbert Arenas Provision.” This limits : the amount of money other teams can offer either Lin or Fields to a maximum : starting salary of the average NBA salary (roughly $5 million). 而因為Arenas條款，其他球隊只能開給Fiedls和Lin約500萬中產的起薪。 : Since the Knicks own Fields’ Early Bird Rights, they can match any offer : without having to use their mid-level exception. However, since Lin does not : have Early Bird Rights, the Knicks would have to dip into their exceptions : (and almost certainly the mid-level) to match any offer sheet for Lin. : So the good news is that the Knicks are guaranteed to be able to keep both : Fields and Lin if they want to. The bad news is that if anyone makes an offer : of over $2 million to Lin, the Knicks would have to dip into their mid-level : exception to pay for it, therefore effectively nullifying the MLE as a tool : to sign a good free agent (like, say, Steve Nash). So they might be in a : situation where they would have to choose between Nash and Lin. Who would you : choose? 而因為我們有Fields的早鳥權，所以我們可以不動用例外條款續約他， 但是如果有人開給Lin超過200萬鎂的合約時，我們就需要動用我們的中產來簽下他。 : One tricky aspect of the Gilbert Arenas Provision is that teams could still : sign Lin to deals bigger than just the MLE times however many years (like 4 : years/$20 million), they just can’t have the first two years be larger than : the MLE so that the Knicks cannot be outbid. The first year has to be for $5 : million. However, if a team is, say, $11 million under the cap, they can : offer Lin a 4 year/$44 million contract (you have to be currently under the : cap by whatever the average yearly figure of the deal is). The first two : years would be for the MLE and then the last two years would be backloaded so : that the entire deal would average out to $44 million (so the first two years : would be $5 million a year and the last two years would basically have to be : $16 million a year each). It is highly unlikely that a team would throw such : backloaded payments into a deal, as it is not good for anyone’s salary cap, : but I can imagine a team figuring that it would be especially bad for the : Knicks, what with the increases in Melo and STAT and Chandler’s salaries in : three years. Imagine the luxury tax that the Knicks would have to pay! So do : not be surprised if a team tries to give Lin a deal for more than $5 million : a year. Still, if Dolan is willing to pay the luxury tax, then the Knicks : cannot be outbid. 那麼有沒有可能有一些特殊情況發生呢? 有可能的，如果有一支球隊有11m的薪資空間 ，那麼他們將可以開給Lin一份，4年44m的合約，這份合約的前兩年是中產每年約500萬， 而後兩年每年約1600萬，不太有可能有球隊這樣做，這樣對薪資結構的傷害太大了。 : So that’s pretty much it. The Knicks can keep both Fields and Lin, but if : they keep Lin, they are pretty much saying goodbye to any other notable free : agent. With the way Lin is playing, though, that is not such a bad thing. : Thanks to Larry Coon for his invaluable Salary Cap FAQ, which turned out to : be absolutely right on target (as it said “If a player is waived and is : claimed by another team before he clears waivers, then his Bird clock resets” : ). And thanks to the aforementioned Howard Beck! : =================================================== : 另一個觀點 這篇作者認為尼克隊沒有早鳥權 要請高手指點一下 我們可以留下Fields和Lin，不過可能就沒什麼機會覬覦其他自由球員了。 --
