Joe Dumars and the Detroit Pistons didn't make any deals before the trade deadline passed Thursday, but the president of basketball operations promised some action come summer. 交易截止日前,活塞並沒有發生什麼事情,但Dumars表示今夏會發生一些事情. "Given the fact we have to play a season next year, I think I need to use that money," Dumars said of the expected $20 million or more the Pistons are expected to have available under the NBA salary cap. "假使要在下賽季有所作為,那我想我會需要那些錢" Dumars表示下賽季將會有2000萬左 右的薪資空間. "If we weren't going to play next year I probably wouldn't do anything with it, but I think we're going to tip it off next year so I'm going to try and put a (good) team on the floor." "如果我們想在下個球季混吃等死,那我的確不會去做任何事情,可是我想要讓球隊變得 更好." Dumars又說. Dumars said options will be plenty in the summer, and that could mean a trade or trades. He laughed when asked if he might wait for the much-ballyhooed free-agent class of 2010. Dumars表示今夏也許會有一些交易.這時候他笑了,因為有人問他是否會等待瘋狂的 2010年到來. "You can't wait," he said. "You can't sit here and two years down the road hope we get somebody. You have no idea what could happen. We're not going to shut down. We're going to keep going." "這不能等啊!" Dumars說 "我們不能在這痴痴的等待兩年,我們想得到某些球員,但 事根本無法預測會發生什麼事情,因此我們不能停下來,必須加快腳步往前." Dumars said he was on the phone a lot during the last 72 hours before the deadline, but nothing came close to tempting him. Dumars表示他在截止前72小時談了很多,可是最後都沒有好對象. He said he had given other general managers his parameters, which included not wanting to add any money to the current under-the-luxury tax position ($450,000). In addition, he didn't want to disrupt the expected cap space this summer. 他不想打亂在今夏有著薪資空間的理想. "That alone will probably knock out some of the phone calls you are going to get because people know what they are going to present," he said. "You can see a lot of the deals (prior to the deadline) were where people were just getting off money." "其實你可以看到有不少交易在最後一刻,都是被金錢左右才發生的" Dumars這麼說. Pistons coach Michael Curry said he never paid much attention to the trade deadline as a player, and didn't as a head coach this week. "I try to deal with the things I can control," he said. Curry被問到是否會有交易,並且會不會在本周他就被火掉. "這不是我能控制的" 他這如此表示. --
