Chris Kaman would add needed size up front BY VINCE ELLIS ‧ FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER ‧ May 24, 2009 http://0rz.tw/vdKWA The Pistons are expected to cast a net far and wide this summer in an effort to return to the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference, testing the free-agent market and eying possible trade partners. 為了重返榮耀，活塞在這個暑假勢必會想辦法從FA補強陣容 Names like those of Toronto forward Chris Bosh, Utah forward Carlos Boozer and Chicago shooter Ben Gordon have been tossed out as Pistons targets, but the results of Tuesday night's NBA draft lottery may lead to one of the top centers in the league becoming available. 而這答案可能會是Bosh、Boozer、Gordon 但是在選秀抽籤結果出爐後，似乎又增加了一個選項的可能性 The L.A. Clippers have the No. 1 pick and could trade it, but if they go through with the obvious choice of selecting Oklahoma power forward Blake Griffin, big man Chris Kaman could be moved. 快艇抽到狀元籤，交易自用兩相宜 若他們決定選入Blake Griffin自己留著爽 那Kaman有可能就會被拿出來交易 Griffin would be added to a collection of front-line players Marcus Camby, Zach Randolph (MSU) and Kaman. 除了可能會選的Griffin，快艇目前的鋒線陣容已經有Camby、Randolph、Kaman Randolph is owed more than $33 million over the next two seasons, so it's hard to figure anyone would take on that contract for basically an undersized power forward who can score. 接下來兩個球季Randolph(MSU畢業)的薪水合計共超過33M，他是個undersize的進攻型PF 大概很少有人願意接手他這樣子的合約... But Kaman, a former Central Michigan standout, is owed a relatively modest $33 million over the next three seasons. 但是Kaman，是前Central Michigan的出色球員 接下來三個球季的薪資總和也不過30M左右 With the Pistons' glaring needs up front, Kaman (if healthy) would add skilled size. 在Kaman保持健康的狀況下，他可以將活塞渴望升級的前場陣容提升 他是個靈活的七呎長人 A legitimate 7-footer, he boasts career averages of 10.4 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. 這位七呎長人生涯平均拿下10.4分、8.3籃板 (本球季12分、8籃板) Yet he has failed to play 60 games the last two seasons and was plagued by a strained arch in his left foot last season. 但最大的隱憂在於他這個球季只打了31場就掛點 近兩個球季他都打不滿60場就掰掰 尤其是最近一個球季他深受左腳足弓的傷痛所苦 延伸閱讀：http://www.nba.com/playerfile/chris_kaman/career_stats.html http://hoopshype.com/players/chris_kaman.htm ※ 編輯: tc89 來自: 125.232.138.157 (05/25 09:59)
