https://goo.gl/95byVS This is a pivotal season for both Avery Bradley and the Detroit Pistons. Let’ s take a look at the best and worst case scenarios which might arise for both. 對活塞與Bradley來說，本季是最重要的一季，我們來看看對兩者而言最好與最壞的結果吧 Avery Bradley enters the 2017-18 in a contract year with a new team. Provided the Detroit Pistons don’t hard cap themselves again next summer, they’ll be able to offer Bradley more money and more years than any other team. AB在合約年進入一個新團隊，假如活塞下次休賽期薪資空間沒鎖死，它們可以提供AB比其 他隊伍更多的錢與更長的合約。 For both Bradley and the Pistons, much rides on this season. This is Bradley’ s first real opportunity to be seen as the best player on his team and the closest to being a featured weapon he’s come in any season in his career. As for the Pistons, Stan Van Gundy is a year away from being a lame-duck president and head coach, as he has two years left in his contract. 對AB與活塞而言，他們皆仰賴下個賽季的結果，這次是AB成為最好的球員、最好的進攻武 器的機會，對活塞來說，SVG才剛脫離跛腳GM與總教練一年，且他還有兩年的合約。 More than just Bradley’s performance will be worth watching closely this coming season. His health will be a vital factor as well. Bradley has a hard time staying healthy, with more than 64 games played in only two of his seven seasons. Last year he played just 55 games, and his average games played per season is a meager 59. 值得觀察的不只有AB的表現，他的健康也是一個重要因素。AB一直掙扎在保持健康， 生涯只有兩季出賽超過64場，去年只打了55場，他的平均出賽場次是59場。 He enters the season with a clean bill of health, but it’s a concerning pattern for Bradley. If he has another injury-plagued season, this team might not have enough depth and talent to overcome it. If he misses extended time and Reggie Jackson is hampered once again by knee tendinitis, this season is all but over. 他將以健康的姿態進入新賽季，但這是一個警訊，如果這又是一個受傷病纏身的賽季 活塞可能沒有足夠的深度與天份去克服，如果他缺賽時間過長，且RJ膝蓋又受傷，本季大 概就結束了。 On the other hand, we have a different story if he lives up to the lofty expectations. If Bradley can stay on the floor and play to the level advertised as both the best defenders and perhaps one of the two or three best offensive players on this Pistons’ team, there is a lot to look forward to. 另一方面，如果他達到預期的高度我們會有不一樣的結果，如果AB可以上場且成為最好的 防守者與第二或第三好的進攻者，這樣的話活塞就有很多事情可以期待。 Should Bradley play to expectation, he has the ability to be a more-than-capable ball handler and the best shooter on the roster, all while locking down the best opposition guard or wing. This team might be able to overcome further regression from Reggie Jackson and a lack of development from Andre Drummond, but it will need everything Avery Bradley has to offer in order to do so. AB應該能夠打出大家原本所期望的表現，他有那個能力去成為更好的持球者，也能成為球 隊裡最好的射手，同時也能鎖住對方最好的後衛或側翼。活塞可能能夠克服RJ的衰退與 Drummond的原地踏步，但這要AB盡他所能地做出貢獻才能達成。 Bradley will go into next summer as a free agent. The Pistons may have to offer him a max contract in order to retain him, but that might not be enough. Bradley is accustomed to making the playoffs, having made five of the past seven postseasons with the Boston Celtics, and making it to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. AB明年夏天將成為完全自由球員，活塞可能要提出頂薪才能留下他，但這可能不夠， AB之前是季後賽常客，在賽爾提克的七個賽季有五個賽季打進季後賽，且在上個賽季打 進東冠。 Not only will the Detroit Pistons need to pay up, but they’ll likely need to win in order to have the right to present him the offer in the first place. In fitting fashion, Bradley’s play will have a big role in how that plays out. 活塞不只是要付錢，還要不斷地贏下去，才足夠將AB留在隊上，在適合的體系裡，AB 將會有舉足輕重的角色。 --
