※ 引述《BIASONICA (my desired happiness)》之銘言： : http://www.covers.com/includes/articles.aspx?theArt=22478&tid=25&t=1 : NBA Wed, Apr 14, 2004 : Magic demand McGrady's decision : Associated Press : ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic are willing to trade Tracy : McGrady in the offseason unless the NBA's scoring champion : tells them he wants to stick around after next year. 如果T-Mac未明確表明打下個賽季是否留下，魔術不排除將他交易出去。 : McGrady, who signed a seven-year, $93 million contract that : runs through 2006-07 season, can opt out of the deal following : the 2004-05 season. T-Mac簽下的是7年9300萬的合約(到06-07止)，而04-05年球季後， T-Mac有球員選擇權決定是否留在原隊。 : Magic general manager John Weisbrod said Wednesday he wants : McGrady to stay, but wants his star to make a decision by July : 1 because "I have no intention of starting next season with an : 'I don't know.'" 魔術的GM說他希望T-Mac留下，但他希望在7/1前T-Mac能做決定，他不希望 下季開打前聽到的答案是"我不知道"。 : Weisbrod, who took over as Orlando's GM last month, said if he : knows McGrady won't be back after next season, trading him would : be the best move for the team. Weisbrod是上個月才接手魔術的GM，他說如果T-Mac下季結束後不留下， 那麼交易他將會對魔術比較好。 : "I don't want that misinterpreted that I'm looking for a way to : trade him or we're predisposed to trading him," Weisbrod said. : "We're obviously not. We'd like to build the thing around him." : McGrady's deal gives him an opt-out clause after the fifth year : of his deal, an attractive alternative if there's no turnaround : in the NBA's worst team. 我不希望被大家誤以為我們企圖或尋找交易他的可能，事實上我們希望以 他為中心來打造球隊。而T-Mac的合約有附帶球員選擇權(Player Option)， 在7年合約的第5年後，如果有更具吸引力選擇，那他可能不會留在這隻全 NBA戰績的球隊裡。 : The Magic were 20-61 entering Wednesday night's season finale : against Philadelphia. : "All things being equal, I think he'd like to stay in Orlando," : Weisbrod said. "But there are a lot of factors that don't make : all things equal _ we're a bad team right now without any (salary) : cap room." 我認為他也想留下，不過有太多會影響他做決定的因素了，包括我們現在是 一隻很糟糕的隊伍--而且沒有任何的薪資空間。 : Weisbrod wants a decision by July 1 for a reason _ it's the first : day teams can begin negotiating with free agents. Past that point, : Weisbrod said, the situation would become a distraction. : McGrady is on the injured list and didn't attend Wednesday's : shootaround. His agent was traveling and was unavailable for : comment. GM希望他在7/1前做決定，因為這天是FA開始簽約交易的時間，過了這個 時間點，局勢將會令人不安。 : McGrady's contract may make trading him difficult. He's due to : make almost $14.5 million next season, and teams would be leery : of acquiring McGrady unless they knew he would re-sign. : "He's still in a position, if he wanted to get traded, to dictate : where he got traded to," Weisbrod said. 不過T-Mac的龐大薪資合約可能會造成交易他的難度(下季1450萬)，而且 願意交易他的球隊也希望能夠知道T-Mac會不會在合約結束後再重簽合約 留下來。 : McGrady averaged 28 points this season, leading the league for : the second straight year. Last season, his 32.1 points made him : the youngest player to average at least 30 per game since the : NBA/ABA merger of 1976. : But the season soured long before knee tendinitis shut him down : with a month to go. His shooting percentage of .417 is a career : worst, as are his 2.67 turnovers per game. : Also, he emotionally faltered under the burden of being named team : captain, especially when a franchise-record 19-game losing streak : early in the year doomed the Magic's playoff hopes. 總而言之，新總管應該是希望以他為中心打造整個隊伍，但是又怕他打明年 球季後，使用player option逃脫，所以希望他給魔術承諾，畢竟今年打那 麼糟，T-Mac也數次放話了。 再來就看T-Mac怎麼回應了，看來今年7/1新的GM應該是有大動作了........ 我猜測，如果魔術抽到前2順位...Gooden跟Howard應該會走一個... 隨便翻翻...隨便猜猜..各位認為呢? --
