裡面有一些新的訊息,想一想還是決定把它轉過來 http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5410152 The New Orleans Hornets prepared for their highly anticipated sitdown with star guard Chris Paul by turning away the latest flurry of trade calls from other teams, according to NBA front-office sources. Sources told ESPN.com that teams inquiring about Paul's availability in recent days -- and there have been several after persistent media reports suggesting that Paul will formally request to be traded at a meeting Monday -- were greeted with the same resistance to Paul offers that the Hornets have maintained for months. 對CP3有興趣的幾隻球隊這幾天得到的回應跟過去幾個月一樣 "They say they aren't moving him," one rival team executive said of the Hornets. 尼克:黃蜂說免肖想 (好啦我知道裡面沒有明說是尼克...) Sources with knowledge of New Orleans' thinking said over the weekend that the Hornets' stance is unlikely to change, at least in the short term, even if Paul himself tells the Hornets for the first time that he wants out. The Hornets' new basketball brain trust of general manager Dell Demps and coach Monty Williams -- with Demps hired by team president Hugh Weber only last Wednesday -- is expected to use their first face-to-face audience with the All-Star guard to urge Paul to give the fledging regime an opportunity to prove it can build a winning team around him. 預期新總管Dell Demps會利用在他跟CP3的第一次會面說服他,給這個新鮮的經營團隊 一個機會(這也是他第一天正式上班的工作的樣子..) Yet even if they are unsuccessful with that pitch at the scheduled morning meeting, Hornets officials are apparently determined to hold firm and deal Paul only on their terms and timeline, knowing they have two full seasons before the 25-year-old can opt out and become a free agent in the summer of 2012. 就算說服失敗還是免肖想,黃蜂可以在想要的時候,想要的情況交易,又不是FA還想跑 ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reported Friday that Paul is planning to furnish the Hornets with a list of teams to which he'd like to be traded. ESPN說Paul計畫給黃蜂一個他想去的球隊名單 Those wishes, until now, have only been communicated to the Hornets and other teams from Paul's new team of agents, sources said. That team includes LeBron James' CAA Sports representative Leon Rose, James' business manager Maverick Carter and adviser William Wesley. 到目前為止只有CP3的新經紀團隊在負責跟黃蜂和其它球隊連絡. 這個團隊包括:LBJ的經紀人,LBJ的經紀公司LRMR的經理,還有LBJ的顧問. (這邊不是我亂翻,這三個人就是這些身分) /"整件事情CP3絕對沒有被LBJ影響!" 當戚家的人都是豬頭三嗎... Broussard also reported Friday that Dwight Howard's Orlando Magic top Paul's wish list of potential trade destinations, followed by trades to New York, Dallas or Portland. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Friday that Rose reached out to all four teams in the past week. 逆指名選秀順位:Magic,New York,Dallas,Portland (那Stern要來主持選秀會嗎? Congratulations,Chris Paul choses .. ______! 我想這個點子的愚蠢程度不會輸給The Decision喔) Before the mid-July dismissal of Demps' predecessor Jeff Bower, Weber said earlier this month at a joint public appearance with Paul that there was "no question" Paul would start next season as a Hornet. Team management has not commented publicly on the situation since CBSSports.com reported Wednesday night that Paul was intensifying his efforts to force his way out of New Orleans, but Demps is scheduled to conduct his first session with reporters Monday afternoon after the meeting with Paul. 七月中解雇了前GM Bower的Weber,在這個月稍早曾在一個跟CP3一起出席的公開場合說 Paul下季留在黃蜂"沒問題" 對於CBSSports.com報導星期三晚上CP3展開了更強的攻勢想脫離黃蜂,管理層沒有提出 意見 Paul publicly broached the subject of being traded for the first time in an ESPN.com interview with Broussard in June. Paul acknowledged in that interview that his fondness for New Orleans is such that he regards it as his adopted hometown, but he also made it clear that he would be open to a trade if the Hornets were not committed to spending what it takes to compete in the perennially strong Western Conference. CP3第一次在公開場合討論到被交易,是在六月受ESPN.com的訪問,在這個訪問中CP3 承認他對New Orleans是如此喜愛,這個地方就像他的家鄉.但是他也很清楚的表示 如果黃蜂不把獲得的收益花在讓球隊於強大的西區競爭,那他可以接受被交易. Sources close to the situation maintain that the root of Paul's growing desire since that interview to be dealt comes from watching his close friend James land in Miami with Team USA teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and the steady encouragement he's been getting from James, Rose, Carter and Wesley to try to force the Hornets' hand. CP3看了他的麻吉小皇帝組成三巨頭,還有得到一群海灘之子的建議.讓他褲子裡的怪物 變大了. As James said of Paul late last week via his Twitter feed: "Best of luck to my brother. ... Do what's best for You and your family." 小皇帝上禮拜在Twitter上寫:祝福我的兄弟,做對你和你的家人最有利的事 (小皇帝自稱CP3的兄弟,所以他的意思就是做對他有利的事吧......) If Paul can't be convinced to buy into the organization's rebuilding plan, New Orleans will certainly take some comfort in the knowledge that it possesses a two-season buffer before Paul is eligible for free agency. 如果Paul不能相信組織的重建計畫,黃蜂可能會對他成為FA前還有兩季緩衝略感欣慰 In that scenario, though, New Orleans would still have plenty to ponder. A case can be made that keeping Paul in hopes of eventually regaining the confidence of the face of the franchise -- or merely holding off until the Hornets decide that they're ready to trade him -- might not be as beneficial for the long-term health of the franchise as proactively trying to move Paul and ultimately spare themselves from the daily distraction and potential negative impact at the gate that comes with employing a disgruntled superstar. 黃蜂依然有值得深思的方案,留住Paul希望他最終恢復對這個團隊的信心,或是只是綁住他 直到他們準備好交易,雖然這可能不如主動換掉他有利,並且造成球隊分心,和因為留住一個 心不在此的球員而受到負面衝擊 Paul has become hugely popular in New Orleans and is often credited with saving NBA basketball in the region in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But it remains to be seen how severely his popularity might be damaged by this ongoing story line. CP3在New Orleans擁有巨大的人氣,而且常被認為是Katrina颶風後救了此地NBA籃球 的人.不過最近在進行的故事對他的人氣會有怎樣的傷害依然需要去觀察. Uncertainty about Paul's future also only figures to further unsettle the Hornets' fan base amid fears that the proposed sale from longtime owner George Shinn to minority partner Gary Chouest will ultimately collapse, after news of Chouest's plans to buy a majority interest in the Hornets initially spawned so much optimism in April. 因為CP3不確定的未來,黃蜂的球迷後援會陷入球隊轉手可能失敗的恐慌中,這件事 在四月時的報導看來還是很樂觀的 (這是我現在對CP3很不滿一個重要的因素) But Williams has repeatedly expressed confidence in recent days that he and Demps -- former teammates in San Antonio and disciples of the Spurs' highly successful program established by coach Gregg Popovich and personnel chief R.C. Buford -- can reach Paul in spite of their shared inexperience as lead decision-makers. 不過新教練Williams在最近這段日子重覆的表示他對他和Demps可以達到CP3的要求有信心. 雖然這是他們首次居於作決定的領導位子. GM Demps是教頭過去在馬刺的隊友,同時也是建立馬刺成功的系統的教練Popovich和人 事主任R.C. Buford的弟子. Williams has also made it clear that the Hornets have yet to be directly notified by Paul that he is dissatisfied to the point of wanting to leave and won't accept that as the club's reality until they hear it from him. Williams同時表示黃蜂還沒有直接從CP3那裡收到他要求離開的請求,並且在他們從他 本人那邊聽到前不會承認這個威脅的真實性. If the Hornets do reach the point of shopping Paul, whether that's before the season starts or later, rival executives expect them to insist that any trade rids them of the onerous contracts possessed by big man Emeka Okafor (due $53-plus million over the next four seasons) and possibly James Posey ($13-plus million over the next two seasons) as well. 如果黃蜂非得交易掉Paul,不管是球季開始之前還是之後,其它球隊的管理層認為他們會 堅持要同時擺脫隊上幾筆冗長的合約,比如Emeka Okafor(擁有的四年53M)和Posey(的兩 年13M). It's likewise believed that the Hornets would open up the bidding to the whole league in search of the most favorable deal, since Paul -- without the no-trade clause that Kobe Bryant possessed in 2007 when he asked the Los Angeles Lakers to trade him -- has no means to ensure that he lands in one of his preferred destinations. 一般相信黃蜂即使交易也將開放聯盟所有球隊競標,並且找出最有利的方案, CP3沒有像2007年的Kobe有俗稱的霸王條款,不是他想去哪就可以去哪 --
