Iguodala sure on Team USA, likely to opt out March 30, 2013, 7:11pm DENVER — Andre Iguodala is certain of one thing. He wants to represent Team USA again in both the World Cup and the Olympics. The Denver forward is getting more sure about another thing: Opting out of his contract this summer and signing a long-term deal, possibly with the Nuggets or possibly somewhere else. 這位丹佛前鋒越來越確定另一件事，那就是今年夏天他將會跳出合約並簽下一份長約，可 能繼續留在丹佛，也可能是去其他隊。 Iguodala won gold with Team USA in the 2010 World Cup in Turkey, when it was known as the World Championships, and in the Olympics last summer in London. When the Americans were coming off a 2008 Olympic gold medal in Beijing, none of the players on that team wanted to return for the World Cup. But Iguodala wants to be involved with as much Team USA basketball as possible. “I would really like to do both,’’ Iguodala said in an interview with FOX Sports Florida about the 2014 World Cup in Spain and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “I had a great time (with USA Basketball in previous events). It ’s been one of the best basketball experiences of my life, just being around those guys, having fun and enjoying the game of basketball.’’ USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo recently told FOX Sports Florida there are players from the 2012 Olympic team who want to compete in Spain, although he wouldn’t elaborate. “I think he knows,’’ Iguodala said of Colangelo being aware of his interest. “He talks to my agent (Rob Pelinka), so I think he knows.’’ As for Iguodala’s NBA future, he doesn’t know where he’ll be playing. But Iguodala, a nine-year veteran who is averaging 12.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists and is Denver’s perimeter stopper, indicated it’s more likely now he will opt out of his contract by July 1 to sign a long-term deal. 至於小AI在NBA的未來，他還不知道他會在哪裡打球，但小AI這一位已有九年資歷的老將， 平均有12.7的得分、5.1個籃板、5.1個助攻，同時也是金塊的perimeter stopper，他指出 自己更可能跳出合約並在七月一號簽下長約。 Iguodala is on the books to make $15.9 million next season, likely more than he could get from any team for 2013-14. But he could become a free agent and then sign a multi-year deal that would pay less next season but would provide long-term security. 小AI下一季將能拿到15.9 million，這可能是他從任何隊伍中可得到的最高金額，但他可 以變成自由球員並且簽下複數年合約，雖然會在下一季拿的少一點，卻能得到長遠的保障。 “Yeah, definitely,’’ Iguodala, 29, said of that being a distinct possibility. “You got to weigh options. Security-wise, a player would opt out, especially with the type of season we’ve had as a team. Teams know what I can bring to them, and I know (the Nuggets) know what I can bring to a team here. "當然"小AI說，"考慮到保障，球員就可能會跳出合約，特別是我們有這樣一個球季，球隊 會知道我能帶來何種影響力，而且我知道金塊知道我能帶來何種影響力" “Players get like $50, $60 or $70 or $80 (million over multiple years), whatever the number was, they gave up a big number (in an option season by opting out). But in the grand scheme of things, pretty much get it back. You got security.’’ "球員能拿到$50 $60 $70 $80(millions total)，他們會放棄一個很大的數字(在合約年) ，但整理來看你能得到更好的保障。" Iguodala said it’s no guarantee he would re-sign with Denver if he does the expected and opts out. But he has liked the progress the Nuggets (50-24) have made recently, which has included a 15-game winning streak that ended last Monday. 小AI說如果他真的跳出合約了，也並不保證會重新和金塊簽約，但他很喜歡近來和金塊打 球，包括了一個連續的15勝。 “My main goal is, if we win here, everything will take care of itself, no matter what,’’ Iguodala said. “I want to play for a team where I have an impact on the game without even scoring ... I feel like if I win (with the Nuggets), I won’t have to worry about having to prove my worth. “Obviously, it’s a business, so you’re going to look at your options. Here we have some good (prospects). But I’m not making any promises. But I’ve liked the last month and a half, two months, three months or however long (that Denver has been on a roll). It’s important for the future, so I’m just trying to win.’’ "很明顯的這是在商言商，所以你一定會檢視你所有的可能性，我們在這裡有很好的前景， 但我並不會做出任何承諾，我很喜歡過去在這裡打球的幾個月，那對未來很重要，所以我 只是盡力去獲勝。" So stay tuned to see which team Iguodala might be representing in a future USA Basketball event. And also what team he might finish it with. Iguodala began the 2012 Olympics with the Philadelphia 76ers. Just before the semifinals, he was traded to the Nuggets.
