來源:哨兵報 18-19,May ( 不詳細翻譯了 ) 1.The Orlando Magic are expecting to lose assistant coach Randy Wittman, who will return to the Minnesota Timberwolves as an assistant, according to NBA sources.The Magic recently gave Wittman permission to speak with the Timberwolves, said Magic Coach Brian Hill. 在去年球季從灰狼隊挖來的助理教練Wittman很可能會在下個球季回到灰狼隊。 去年魔術隊挖他過來，就是因為他在灰狼長期工作下，了解隊中有個長人(如狼王)該有 的運作模式。話說回來，目前灰狼隊的助理教練還包括了前魔術教練Johnny Davis。 2.Magic General Manager Otis Smith said Hill began working with abdominal specialist Alex McKechnie on Monday in Vancouver, McKechnie's base of operation .McKechnie, a physiotherapist who worked with Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers this past season, will take Hill through a program of core--strengthening exercises. Grant Hill開始他的復健活動。這次是和Alex Mckechnie。(之前那個幫他開刀的是在費 城。)其實Hill的壓力也不小，前陣子，魔術隊的老闆也表示希望他考慮退休的情況。 3.Smith said they will hold private workouts for former Duke teammates J.J. Redick, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, and Shelden Williams, a 6-9 center/power forward, at RDV Sportsplex before or after the NBA's pre-draft camp at Disney's Wide World of Sports on June 6-10. Orlando wants to add a shooting guard and a big body this offseason, and Redick and/or the 250-pound Williams could be available. Smith also said he plans to work out 6-7 shooting guards Rodney Carney of Memphis and Ronnie Brewer of Arkansas, and 6-10 power forward James Augustine of Illinois, among others. 魔術隊將會找來杜克的兩位大四年級球員做workout。今年的Pre-draft Camp不在芝加哥 ，是在奧蘭多BTW (雖然大家應該都知道。)另外三個人物有待板上大大們補充。 4.Smith also has been interviewing candidates to fill vacancies for head trainer and strength coach. He said Magic assistant athletic trainer Keon Weise is a candidate. 這段可能沒有大多人有興趣。訓練員招募。 5.Smith said Assistant General Manager Dave Twardzik met with Vazquez recently in Spain. Although Smith doesn't expect him to play for the Magic next season , he is optimistic Vazquez will join Orlando "the following season [2007-08], for sure." 前天晚上(還是昨天)，在hoopshype上斗大的標題 "Vazquez to join Orlando ? "讓我驚 訝了一下，不過這應該還是乳摸。Smith確認Vazquez會在下下球季加入魔術隊。那時候， 他應該是25歲吧 (or 24) ? 個人在想，Vazquez撐了一年還沒覺悟嗎 ? 6.They likely will decide to keep either veteran reserve Bo Outlaw or Stacey Augmon and probably will not match offers for restricted free-agent forward Trevor Ariza that climb past the minimum. 這個消息讓我有點驚訝，可能是和我在NBA2006裡面所做的完全相反。但現實面總是這樣 ，家有一老如有一寶，"Bo"和Augmon可能會被留下來。(之前好像沒說過說Augmon會被留 下)，而Ariza新合約的價碼可能還是不會超過最低薪合約。感覺上，Ariza好像很可能會 離隊，畢竟丟一張1.5m~2m的合約給這樣20歲的跳跳人也不少見。 魔術隊今夏的準備，似乎還是為了明年來做準備。07-08球季的大牌自由球員一堆，而 Grant Hill的頂級合約也會於屆時到期。 --
