Artest to Pacers: Trade me 'I think they will be a better team without me' By Mike Wells [email protected] Injured forward Ron Artest wants to return to the court, but not to the Indiana Pacers.In a 20-minute interview Saturday, Artest for the first time publicly said he wants to be traded. He calmly described the issues he has with his role on the team, his head coach and his past, and said the team would be better off without him. 受傷的前鋒 Ron Artest想要回到場上，不過不是回到溜馬隊出賽的場上。在週六２０ 分鐘的訪問中，Ron Artest首次公開表示他想要被交易。他很平靜的談起他在隊上扮 演的角色、他的教練以及他過去的表現等等話題，還有，他說溜馬隊沒有他會更好。 Coach Rick Carlisle called his forward "one of the elite talents in the league." The Pacers lost Artest for 73 games after the Nov. 19 brawl last season. They stuck with him, even though he said his suspension essentially ruined their season. 教練Rick Carlisle稱他的前鋒「聯盟中頂尖、具潛力的一位球員」。溜馬在十一月 １９號打架事件後一度失去Artest ７３場出賽的機會，全隊支持他，即使 Artest說自 己的被禁賽把全隊整個球季都毀了。 Now the Pacers might be forced to trade him in order to salvage an already trying season. Team President Larry Bird was scouting in Europe and could not be reached for comment. 現在，溜馬可能被迫要將他交易出去好拯救已經令人擔心的球季。球隊總裁Larry Bird 目前正在歐洲尋才，無法聯絡上他探詢意見。 Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh was surprised by Artest's request and said the franchise would decide the next step. Walsh called this latest development a distraction and chided Artest's handling of the situation. 溜馬隊ＣＥＯ,Donnie Walsh對 Artest的要求感到驚訝，他表示球隊會作出決定。 Walsh稱這最新的發展「令人分心」，對Artest處理整個局面的方式感到不快。 Until Saturday, Artest's season had been relatively stress-free. He remains one of the team's hardest workers. He hasn't irritated game officials and has reached out more to teammates off the court.It's on the court that he's had problems fitting in with Carlisle's system.Artest is second on the team in shot attempts and scoring at 19.4 points, but he thinks his style disrupts the offense. 直到週六為止， Artest本季的表現相當令人放心。他依然是全隊最認真的球員，他沒 有冒犯裁判、在場外與隊友間的互動也有增加。但是，在場上無法融入教練 Carlisle的 系統才是本季的問題所在。Artest是全隊出手第二多，平均１９．４的得分，但是他 認為自己的風格阻礙了球隊的進攻。 The Pacers run a structured offense in which Carlisle calls out most plays. That frustrates Artest, who has complained about the system in the past. Artest also took issue with practices. He thinks they're too soft.Getting offers for Artest won't be difficult -- Artest is a former All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year. But getting equal value in return could be. 大多數時間，溜馬打的是有架構、系統的進攻，教練Carlisle指揮大部分的作戰。這讓 Artest感到挫折，他曾經對這樣的打法提出抱怨。Artest也對練習有意見，他覺得球隊 練習太軟（soft）。Artest絕對有身價，絕對有人想要他，他可是全明星等級兼年度防 守球員。問題應該在於，（溜馬）得到什麼才合算。 Artest makes $6.5 million this season, by All-Star standards. Because of the salary cap, NBA trades are as much about matching salaries as swapping talent. Most players of Artest's ability make much more money, meaning the Pacers won't get a player of his caliber unless they include other Pacers in the deal. 本季Artest身價六百五十萬美金，以全明星等級球員的表現來看，這的確低了點。在 ＮＢＡ裡，由於薪資上限的影響，交易著重的是球員身價的匹配，多過球員能力的匹配 。大部分有Artest表現的球員賺得比他多許多，這表示溜馬隊必須在交易時提供更多球 員讓帳面上兩方的薪資相等。 What teams interest Artest? 有球隊想要Artest嗎？ His hometown New York Knicks.Artest seeks a system in which he can score more, which would lead to a bigger contract when his expires in 2008. He has a player option for $8.5 million for the 2008-09 season. Artest said he will take a few more days to decide when he is ready to return from his wrist injury.But the question is: Will he be a Pacer when he returns? 他的家鄉紐約。Artest想要找到一個他能夠多得分的系統，這會讓他在２００８年重 擬合約時有更高的身價。Artest說他要等個幾天看看自己復原了沒，可不可以上場。 也許，我們該問的是：他下次上場還會穿溜馬隊球衣嗎？ Ｔｒａｄｅ　ｆｏｒ　Ａｒｔｅｓｔ　Ｔｒａｄｅ　ｆｏｒ　Ａｒｔｅｓｔ　 教練Carlisle "You never want to lose someone like that," Carlisle said Saturday. 你不想要失去一位像他這樣的球員。 Ｗａｌｓｈ "I've never heard him say anything before," 我之前從沒聽過他談起任何事情 "He hasn't talked to me, and I see him every day." 他沒跟我談過，而我天天見到他。 "He can always come up and talk to me or Larry Bird," 他應該有很多機會找我或是 Larry Bird 談談。 "From here on out, I expect Ronnie to be a professional. . . . (This) isn't the best way to get a trade done." 從現在開始，我希望他像個職業球員。這真的不是安排交易最好的方法。 Ｔｒａｄｅ　ｆｏｒ　Ａｒｔｅｓｔ　Ｔｒａｄｅ　ｆｏｒ　Ａｒｔｅｓｔ　 分享給版友做參考。 喔，我故意把個人談話部分編在一起，將記者自己的本文合併。 上集是記者本文，Ｗａｌｓｈ的談話以及教練　Carlisle 一句評語。 下集是Ａｒｔｅｓｔ真心告白．．喔，就是ａｒｔｅｓｔ談話全集。 --
