The planned signing of point guard Jameer Nelson is not a sign that the Mavs will try to push Raymond Felton out the door. That comes straight from owner Mark Cuban, who offered an emphatic “no” when asked whether the Mavs would look to move Felton, who was acquired along with center Tyson Chandler in last month’s six-player trade with the New York Knicks. 補進Nelson並不是小牛打算交易Felton的徵兆 在被問到是否打算交易掉上個月從尼克交易來的Felton時 ，庫班直截了當的這麼說，而且特別強調了「No!」 “We like him and think he will have a great year,” Cuban told ESPNDallas.com via the Cyber Dust messaging app. “Do quote me on that.” The Mavs envision Nelson, Felton and Devin Harris all getting significant playing time at point guard and some minutes at shooting guard behind Monta Ellis, as well. 「我們喜歡他而且認為他會表現得很好。」Cuban如此回 答ESPNDalla.com的提問。同時還提醒記者「一定要打出這句」 小牛的展望是Nelson、Felton、Harris都能擔任好控衛的角 色，同時在部分時間幫Ellis分擔得分後衛的角色。 Nobody, least of all Felton, denies that the nine-year veteran point guard is coming off a dreadful season in New York. Felton averaged a career-low 9.7 points and a near-career-low 5.6 assists for a disappointing Knicks team that failed to make the playoffs in the weak Eastern Conference. Felton, who has averaged 13.1 points and 6.5 assists during his career, dealt with injury issues (a groin strain) and off-court problems (a divorce and arrest on gun charges) last season. He’s healthy now and hungry to prove himself again. 沒有人會否然Felton這位老後衛在尼克剛經歷了糟糕的一 季，包括他自己。場均9.7分、接近生涯最低的5.6次助攻， 使得尼克錯過了去年的季後賽。 Felron生涯場均13.1分、6.5次助攻，上季有著鼠蹊部開 刀的狀況，加上球場外的非法持有槍械事件，他現在已 回復健康，而且渴望重新證明自己。 “Just to show everybody that I’ve still got it, I still can play,” Felton said on a recent conference call with Dallas reporters. “I still can play the game at this level. I still play as an elite point guard at this level. That’s just all. “When you come off a season like I had last year, there’s always a point where you’ve got to prove yourself coming back the next season. And trust me, I look forward to it.” So do the Mavs, Cuban insists. Felton說：「只需要向所有人證明我的身手還在、我還能 打，我還能回到以往的水準，像個明星控衛一樣，如此而 已。」 「當你經歷過像我一樣的上一季的時候，妳總是會希望證 明自己能在下一季調整回來，相信我，我也這麼想。」 小牛、庫班也這麼堅持著 樂觀總是好事 --
