http://tinyurl.com/827or48 By Jeff Caplan The Dallas Mavericks have made their interest in bringing back spark plug J.J. Barea known, but so have several other big hitters. 目前有不少球隊對Barea有興趣 The Miami Heat, who open the regular season in Dallas on Christmas Day, the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Sacramento Kings have all made contact with Barea's agent, Dan Fegan, a source close to the situation confirmed Friday. 包括熱火,湖人,尼克,國王 Barea, who is from Puerto Rico, but played his senior year of high school basketball in Miami, has maintained that his priority is returning to the Mavs, the franchise that took a chance on him as an undersized, undrafted free agent out of Northeastern five years ago. Barea has emerged as Dallas' dependable backup behind Jason Kidd, averaging around 20 minutes a game. His points, assists and minutes have all increased over the past three seasons. Barea過去三個球季 得分,助攻,上場時間都是不斷提升 During a brief phone conversation Friday with Barea, who is in the Dominican Republic before he returns to Dallas next week, he reiterated that he hopes to again be playing for Dallas and that the ball is in the Mavs' court. "I always said that's my first option," Barea said. "I did my job last year." He said he is not necessarily chasing the highest offer or a starting job, saying, "I just want what I deserve." Barea表示他想回達拉斯 並不會追尋最高的報價或是能提供先發位置的球隊 Teams could begin talking to player-agents on Wednesday, but players can't sign a deal until at least Dec. 9. Barea earned $1.8 million last season. He had an up-and-down regular season, starting the first two months horribly, but finishing strong, including a breakout postseason in which he gave the Lakers fits and started the last three games of the NBA Finals at shooting guard. But, where the market is for Barea isn't clear. 上個賽季 Barea前兩個月打得很糟 不過是漸入佳境,在季後賽對湖人,熱火都起到很 關鍵的作用 It might be a stretch for a team with the ability to use the full mid-level exception ($5 million starting salary) to go that high for Barea, but it is possible that a team like Sacramento, with some $28 million in cap space, could certainly drive up the price and give Barea a difficult decision. Interestingly, the Kings drafted 5-foot-8 point guard Isaiah Thomas out of Washington late in the second round. 有2800萬薪資空間的國王有可能開出讓Barea難以拒絕的價碼 "I want to know where I'm going to be at," Barea said. "I'd like to be with the same team, in the same city, in the same house. We'll see." 希望Barea能留下 不然PG這個位置只靠38歲的Kidd相當吃緊 --
