Posted by Sekou Smith HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – Tracy McGrady seems to be running out of options. T-Mac始乎沒有選擇的餘地了. He’s been on a bit of a workout tour this summer and has yet to find a home. 這個暑假他已經到了幾間球會做了試訓，但他還沒有找到駐腳的地方 The news that his representatives are meeting with the Detroit Pistons today, courtesy of our main man David Aldridge of TNT, might not register with most, since the Pistons have fallen on hard times and McGrady’s way past his prime. 由TNT 的David 傳來的消息： T－Mac的經紀人和活塞會面的消息，可能對大多數的人 都不會留下太深刻的印像，因為T-Mac 不在年輕，而活塞也正於水深火熱之中 But as far as shelter for wayward talents goes, McGrady couldn’t land in a better place. 但能為這個任性不羈的天才提供駐腳地方的球隊裡，活塞可能是最好的一個 Tough times or not, no one does cast-offs and reclamation projects better than the Pistons. 雖然活塞的處景不太好，但沒有球隊提供比他們更好的估計和重生的地方 Chauncey Billups was an afterthought in July 2002 when the Pistons signed him as a free agent and helped him turn his career around. You’d never heard of Ben Wallace before he showed up in Detroit. And Rasheed Wallace was toxic before the Pistons acquired him in a trade that turned out to be the linchpin of their drive to the 2004 NBA title. Billups, 2002年暑假以Free agent身份去到活塞，而他在那裡達到了他事業的高峰. 在Ben Wallace 加盟活塞之前，你應該沒有聽過這個名字. 而Rasheed Wallace在到 活塞之前是一個“毒瘤”(想不到有哪些中文可以翻成...was toxic), 但在加入活塞 以後就成為了2004年活塞得到總冠軍的關鍵 Even Kwame Brown (another member of the Summer 2010 free agent class still looking for a home) looked good (in spurts) wearing red, white and blue … fine, that was a stretch, but you get the point. 就算是Kwame Brown(另一位在今年找不到棲身之所的Free agent), 在活塞也算是過 得不錯 If T-Mac has anything left, it’ll come out of him in Detroit. 如果T-Mac真的還有實力的，他就會再在活塞爆發出來 General Manager Joe Dumars has the ultimate eye for the right fit (that Darko Milicic thing notwithstanding). And if he takes a chance on McGrady, that’s more than enough validation for us. (So long as McGrady is careful about what he says when the cameras start rolling. Because things didn’t go so well when it happened after his workout in Chicago, below). GM Joe Dumars 有一雙特別的眼，可以找出這種適合他們的人(Darko Milicic? 不算 啦). 如果他真的願意為T-Mac提供一個機會，那就說明T-Mac的狀況比我們想像中要好 (到目前為止T-Mac 在鏡頭前很小心的講話, 因為在Chicago試訓後說的話令他和Bulls 的約談不攏) http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2010/08/09/a-good-home-for-t-mac/ --------------------------------------------------------------- 網址內有T-Mac 35 秒13分和Chicago試訓後受訪的影片 -- ⊕ ╭═◥█◣══◢█◤ ╭ ◢███◣╮ █▏ ◢█▏ \"- ██◣◢██▏╰═╯ █▊ ╰════════█▏═════█▏ ╭ ^ ██████▏◢█◣ █▊ ◣◤◢█◣ ◢██▏◢▊◣ █▏ ║ １ˋ █◤◥◤◥█▏█▊ █▊ ◥█▏█▏█▊█▏█▊█▏█▊█▏ █▏ ║ \\ █▏ █▏◥█◤ █▊ █▏◥▏◥█◥▏◥█◥▏◥██▏ █▏ ╰════◥▏═══◤════ ◥███◤═══════ψbluesgzr▃◤═◢█◣◣ --
