Jason Kidd won't back up just anybody http://tinyurl.com/6rg9ayy DALLAS – Just to be clear, Jason Kidd doesn’t consider himself to be a backup-caliber point guard at this point of his Hall of Fame career. PODCAST Mavs GM Donnie Nelson gives us an inside look at the team's summer plans as the franchise has financial flexibility for the first time in over a decade. Listen Kidd would just be willing to back up Deron Williams and a “very short” list of other elite point guards. Kidd願意打替補，但僅限於D-Will和一些"數量非常少"的明星控衛 The lockout-compressed season was rough on the 39-year-old Kidd’s body. He dealt with a variety of nagging injuries while averaging career lows in points (6.2), assists (5.5) and rebounds (4.1). 縮短球季對這個39歲的老將是很艱苦的 他這季受大大小小的傷勢所苦，並打出了生涯新低 But Kidd, whose numbers ticked upward to 11.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists during the Mavs’ brief playoff sprint, is confident he can help a team next season. He’s entering free agency looking for a good fit and a decent deal with a contender, not a bench to ride. 但季後賽回春的Kidd還是很有信心能夠幫忙球隊獲勝...無論是哪一個球隊。 “I’m going campaigning for Most Improved Player next year,” Kidd deadpanned. “You guys are laughing. I’m serious.” "我下一季要角逐最佳進步獎！" "你們都在笑，但我是認真的" Kidd is completely serious in his belief that he can still contribute to a contender. If that means serving as a backup to an All-Star, Kidd said his ego can handle it. However, Kidd admits that it would be a major adjustment considering his competitive fire. 然而，Kidd也不諱言考慮到他目前的能力，他可能會需要很大的調整。 “I would probably have to talk to Don Kalkstein a lot,” Kidd said, referring to the Mavs’ sports psychologist. “He helped me get the sportsmanship award, so he can definitely handle that job.” "我會跟Don Kalkstein談談" (小牛的運動心理學家) "他幫助我拿到最佳運動員精神獎，我想他在這方面也可以幫助我" On a serious note, Kidd said: “If I was young, it would probably be hard. But understanding and making adjustments, as a professional, you have to accept your role, and that's what I've done as I've gotten older, and so if that means coming off the bench, then I can handle that. That's just another challenge, and that's the way I would look at it.” "如果我還年輕，這樣的調整可能很困難。但身為一個職業球員，你必須接受你的角色並 做調整。我了解我年紀大了，可能就意味著從板凳出發。" The challenge for the Mavs’ front office is recruiting a point guard good enough for Kidd to back up. 對小牛隊來說，挑戰可能是找到一個足夠好的，讓Kidd願意成為他替補的控衛。 --
