Rambis hints playing time may be reduced for Jerian Grant because of his learning curve http://nyp.st/1Ubg7aE Rambo says "hand-picked #Knicks have enuff talent after going quiet at the trade deadline http://nyp.st/1ouWIWj 交易大限後的消息 Point guard Jose Calderon and power forward Kyle O’Quinn were two players on the block since dumping their contracts could have helped the Knicks’ 2016 cap situation. They will have $18 million in cap space, and if they don’t get Kevin Durant, they will attempt to land a premier point guard along the lines of Mike Conley or Rajon Rondo. 尼克在這段時間拿著卡德隆+KOQ同捆包到處求購，但失敗了，尼克夏天將會有1800萬的空間 來補強，如果他們沒辦法搶到KD，可能會把目標放在Mike Conley跟Rajon Rondo上 The latest target, according to a report, was Minnesota shooting guard Kevin Martin. The Knicks had monitored point guards, Ricky Rubio, Brandon Jennings, Jeff Teague, Ty Lawson and even Shabazz Napier. There has been speculation Lawson or Martin could be waived, but that seems a long shot. The Knicks had talks with the Timberwolves about Rubio, but his long-term contract extends to 2019 and he has been injury-prone. Rambis was with Minnesota when it drafted Rubio but never got to coach him as he stayed overseas. A source disputed a rumor the Knicks made a play for Rockets guard Patrick Beverley. 交易期間尼克最後的目標是Kevin Martin。 除此之外尼克有過興趣的有Ricky Rubio, Brandon Jennings,Jeff Teague, Ty Lawson 跟Shabazz Napier，而其中Kevin Martin跟Ty Lawson可能會在之後被買斷。 尼克有跟灰狼談過RUBIO，但他的合約還很長而且有潛在的受傷風險。 另外，火箭也有問過尼克要不要買Patrick Beverley “We did talk about things,’’ Rambis said when asked if Jackson asked him what he would like to see done at the deadline. “I can’t talk about players on other teams. I think there’s two teams in the league that feel like they don’t have to make improvements or adjustments [the Warriors and Spurs]. Everybody else feels like there’s areas we can improve the ballclub. Those are areas we discussed. But the reality is all the rumors and talk that’s gone on, 99 percent of it is not going to happen. That’s the same thing with us.’’ 蘭比斯表示:"我跟禪師都有談過交易大限前的各種可能，我不能去談論其他球隊的球員， 但我想這聯盟中只有兩支球隊有資格認為自己不需要交易，那就是勇士跟馬刺。而其他隊 都有補強的空間，這就是我們再跟其他隊談的，但現實是乳摸終究只是乳摸，而大多數的 乳摸有99%的可能性不會發生，這點我們也是一樣的。" Rambis still feels good about the roster, especially since the current regime brought in this group — save for Anthony, whom it re-signed to a five-year, $124 million contract. “We handpicked all these guys,’’ Rambis said. “These players we liked and wanted. We know it’s not a finished product and got to improve. But we handpicked all these guys. We liked them and trying to develop them. “We have talented players,’’ Rambis added. “We need those guys playing really hard, focused and together.” 蘭比斯同時表示:"我們現有的這些球員都是我們喜歡的，我們都知道這支隊伍只是個半成品 還有很大的空間可以進步，但我們手上的這些球員，我們是真的喜歡並希望他們能更進步。 我們的球員是有天賦的，我們需要這些球員打得更努力更專注，並且團結。" “Changes sometimes helps, sometimes hurts,’’ Rambis said. “We hope our guys are staying focused and in tune here. I know it’s always a precarious time. It will always be a precarious time. Players read all the rumors, and it can be very upsetting, especially [to] guys with families. That’s part of focusing and being in tune. I didn’t get from any of our guys that we were worried about it. But I know. I was there as a player. You read the stuff and people call you. It’s a huge disruption to their lives.” 蘭比斯:"有時候改變會帶給你幫助，有時則是會傷害球隊，我們希望我們的球員能專心， 但我知道交易前夕士氣總是很不穩，球員們是看得到那些乳摸的，這會讓人感到很煩， 但我們要做的就是專心在場上，我是沒看到我的球員們有擔心這一點，但是我知道的， 我以前也是個球員，所以我懂那些事將會使你的生活崩潰。" The club still has an open roster spot and Rambis made indications the Knicks could look to their D-League team where point guards Jimmer Fredette and Travis Trice are employed. 蘭比斯也談到目前最後一個位子會留給發展聯盟或是交易大限後被買斷的球員們。 “He’s just a young player,’’ Rambis said. “He’s growing, maturing developing. There’s a lot to learn. The point-guard position in the NBA is the most difficult position to learn. “Managing your teammates, you have to know every sequence, where everybody is supposed to be, follow instructions of the coach, who’s hot, who’s not, who needs a shot, what sequence to run. All those decisions have to be made in a split second. He just needs some maturing and growing. The last couple of practices, he’s turned his jets back on. That’s what we really need him to do.’’ 談到GRANT，也解釋之後他的上場時間仍會嚴格控管 蘭比斯:"他還年輕，他還在成長中，他有太多事要學了，控球後衛這位子是NBA中最難的 位子，你得要管理你的隊友，你得要了解每一個環節，還有你的隊友該出現在哪，遵從 教練的指示還要知道誰現在手感正好跟該讓誰投這顆球，每一個環節都需要去負責，每一個 決定都需要在短時間內決定，而GRANT他還需要更成熟更成長，在最近的幾個訓練中，他 需要重頭開始，這就是我們需要他做的。" That Grant has looked rejuvenated in scrimmages the past two days out of the All-Star break could be a sign Rambis will give him a shot Friday against the Nets in Brooklyn as the Knicks return from their hiatus. “His aggressiveness and ability to attack the basket, those are things we like in him,’’ Rambis said. “He’s got good length to play defense and speed to play pressure defense. We got to encourage him to do that more. But you need experience. … You can watch tape all you want. You need multiple seasons.’’ 記者表示在最近的幾次練習中感覺上GRANT重生了? 蘭比斯:"GRANT的進攻侵略性跟能力就是要不斷的強攻籃框，這就是我們喜歡他的地方， 他在防守上有身高優勢，也有速度可以打高壓防守，我們得激勵他做得更多，但你知道的 ...他需要經驗，你可以從影片上看到所有你想要的，但你需要更多的賽季去變更好。" Calderon has plenty of seasons under his belt and the fans still would have preferred him to be shipped out Thursday. The Spanish point guard seemed pained by his lack of respect from Knicks fans. “It doesn’t matter how I play,’’ Calderon said. “When you get off on the wrong foot and expect something because they don’t know you as a player and they’re expecting something else. It’s tough to change those minds.’’ Calderon, shopped at the trade deadline, then added, “It’s not fun when you ’re trying to win for the Knicks and people want you out of the Knicks.’’ 卡德隆對於球迷的不滿表示:"這並不影響我打球，當你上場時做了跟他們期盼不一樣的事， 是因為他們不了解你是怎樣的球員，要去改變人們這種心態是很困難的。 "至於交易這件事，這可不好笑，尤其是當你試著要為球隊贏球時，而人們卻希望你滾出 這支球隊。" -------------- 想當初認為GRANT是即戰力，而KP是大潛力，現在卻完全相反了XD KP表現出即戰力同時也有大潛力，反倒是GRANT看起來要養個一兩年了... --
