消息來源：The Dallas Morning News http://tinyurl.com/y28hlf （應該很可靠了） 大致翻一下...亂翻有錯請見諒 0rz Mavs give Howard 4-year deal 07:16 PM CDT on Thursday, October 19, 2006 By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News Josh Howard has agreed to a four-year contract extension that will keep the core of the Mavericks together through the 2010-11 season. 小豪同意一個到2010～2011年球季的4年延長合約，這個合約 可以讓小牛隊保有目前的核心陣容。 Howard's deal, expected to be signed Friday, will be for approximately $40 million. The first season is expected to be for between $8 million and $9 million. 這項大約四千萬美元的合約，可望在禮拜五簽下。小豪第一年 則是可以拿到八百到九百萬美元。 "That's one thing that Cubes (owner Mark Cuban) has always stressed - keeping this core together," Howard said. He added that the Mavericks had "a three-headed monster" with Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley and Steve Nash. That group was broken up, starting with Nash's departure in 2004. 小豪說，「庫班有件一直強調的事情，那就是留住核心陣容。」 他還說，以前小牛的「三劍客」（三頭怪XD）Dirk Nowitzki， Michael Finley，以及Steve Nash。自從Nash在2004年離開達拉斯城 之後，這樣陣容就消失了。 "Hopefully, he has another one with me and JT (Jason Terry) added to Dirk," Howard said. "Hopefully, we can get the job done like we almost did last season." 「他現在很希望能有我與JT（Jason Terry）再加上Dirk組成另一組 三劍客（另一隻三頭怪？）」小豪說，「但願我們能把上一季幾乎 完成的事情給他完成（意指拿下總冠軍。）」 Howard said he and his agent talked about getting a fifth year in the deal. But in the end, four years was palatable for both sides. 小豪說他與他的經紀人都在談論著這次的協商能夠得到 一紙五年的合約。但最後，四年的合約對小牛及Howard都好。 "We worked out a deal that was best for me as a player and best for them as an organization," Howard said. 「以我一個球員身份以及以他們一個組織的身份來說， 我們達成對雙方都是最好的協議。」小豪說。 Howard's rookie contract will pay him slightly under $1.6 million this season. If he had not agreed to an extension before Oct. 31, he would have been a restricted free agent after this season. 依照小豪的新人合約，今年將會付他會拿到比約比一百六十萬美元 少一些。如果他在十月底前不同意以上的延長合約，他明年將會成為 一位受限制的自由球員。 "It's a blessing for me and my family," he said. "I'm going to take it and run with it." 「對我及家人來說都是件好事，」他說。「I'm going to take it and run with it.」 -------- 以下就是庫班的一些感想等等... Cuban said the Mavericks were thrilled to have their three best players, along with coach Avery Johnson, locked up with long-term contracts. Nowitzki signed a three-year extension before training camp, and Terry signed a six-year deal in August. Avery's five-year deal was agreed to last week. "Sometimes, Indiana math was different than Wake Forest math," Cuban said of negotiations with the former Demon Deacon. "But Josh has been great for this organization, and we're glad to have him for five more years. It's nice to get it out of the way." --------- 幾天前才在擔心小豪的合約，沒想到事情這麼快就有180度的轉變，而且還是個 Happy Ending :D 今天的對公鹿的熱身賽總算贏了，而且還是樂勝，第三節打的太棒了！ --
