嘴砲王Perk出動！ http://tinyurl.com/9crcmqd Thunder's Kendrick Perkins on James Harden's deal: 'We're getting close' With the deadline fast approaching for the Thunder to come to terms on a contract extension for shooting guard James Harden, a potential sliver of hope was heard Wednesday afternoon. 關於鬍子續約的問題，放話一哥終於出聲了。 Thunder center Kendrick Perkins, speaking after an appearance at a Thunder Fit event at a local middle school, said the two sides are 「getting close」 on a deal that would keep the reigning Sixth Man of the Year in Oklahoma City. 雷霆在某小學舉辦活動，而參加活動的KP表示雷霆跟鬍子「getting close」 「We're doing good. We're making positive steps going forward,」 Perkins said of the organization's offseason. 「We got coach (Scott) Brooks locked in. We got Serge (Ibaka) locked in. And we're getting close with James, and we're getting close to keeping our unit together. And we're still hungry.」 放話一哥對雷霆休賽期到目前為止的表現感到滿意， 並且表示「球隊跟鬍子快談好了，代表我們也可以保持原來的陣容啦， 我們可很想更進一步勒。」 Harden is eligible to receive an extension of up to four years. Harden is believed to be seeking a contract worth the maximum allowable amount, which could be $58 million. But with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook already inked to maximum deals, as well as Ibaka and Perkins recently signing high-dollar extensions, the Thunder might not be able to afford to keep Harden, with more severe penalties for teams that exceed the tax level set to kick in prior to the 2013-14 season. 大家都覺得鬍子想拿頂薪，可是KD跟Russ都頂薪，又簽了Ibaka， Perk薪水也不少，雷霆怎麼可能留住鬍子，多少隊對鬍子虎視眈眈阿～ If Harden doesn't sign a deal by Oct. 31, he will become a restricted free agent next summer, which would allow him to hit the open market but gives the Thunder the right to match any deal he might be offered. 如果10/31前沒跟鬍子談好，他就會變成RFA啦。 到時各隊就可開價搶人，不過雷霆還是可以跟進啦。 Training camp is scheduled to begin Oct. 1, and Perkins said he is confident that when Harden returns, he'll naturally want to remain with the team that drafted him third overall in 2009, without anybody needing to convince him to do so. 訓練營10/1就開始了，放話一哥表示他對鬍子續約一事有自信， 因為鬍子自己就很想留下來了。 ＊＊＊＊ http://www.twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo Thunder sign guards DeAndre Liggins and Andy Rautins. 跟DeAndre Liggins, Andy Rautins簽了訓練營約。 -- 『也許你想從我身上尋求許多東西。可是我卻一點也沒有感覺自己有什麼被需求。』 --
