※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： 原文出處： : http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/basketball/12973389.htm -- : Two exhibition games remain for the Timberwolves. It remains to be seen : whether that's all the time left in Ndudi Ebi's career as a Wolf. 灰狼還剩下兩場季前賽，我們可以等著看N.Ebi身穿灰狼球衣的職業生涯會不會就此畫 下句點。 : The NBA has informed the Wolves that Ebi will not be granted an exception to : play in the NBA Development League, which could give the Wolves more incentive : to waive the former first-round pick by the end of the month. The Wolves had : petitioned the league for an exception so that Ebi could get more playing time : in an attempt to get his career off the ground. NBA總部已經通知灰狼，Ebi將不會被允許以特例的方式被球隊下放至NBA發展聯盟練兵 ，此項決議將迫使灰狼更有可能在月底將前第一輪選秀球員Ebi揮棄。灰狼已向聯盟陳情， 希望能破例讓Ebi到發展聯盟打球以延續他的NBA生涯。 : But the collective bargaining agreement states that only players in their : first two seasons are eligible. The league found no wiggle room in the : bargaining agreement. 不過經由共同協商達成的協議聲明只有菜鳥及僅有一年NBA經驗的二年生具有被球隊下 放至發展聯盟打球的資格，聯盟在協商會議中並沒有給予任何討價還價的空間。 : "We've informed the team that the collective bargaining agreement specifically : says players in their first two years," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Saturday. : "It won't be possible for Ndudi Ebi or any other player who's further along : than his second year to go to the developmental league." NBA發言人T.Frank禮拜六時說"我們已經明確地告知球隊共同協商達成的協議，僅有菜 鳥及二年級生才有到NBADL打球的資格，未來不管是Ebi或其他已在聯盟待了兩年以上的球 員都不具有被球隊下放至NBADL的資格。" : Wolves coach Dwane Casey said Saturday he was not surprised by the league's : decision. Casey said Wolves vice president of basketball operations Kevin : McHale called Stu Jackson, NBA senior vice president of basketball operations, : to inquire about options regarding Ebi. 灰狼教練D.Casey禮拜六說對於聯盟的決定他並不感到驚訝，因為灰狼副籃球總裁K. McHale曾打電話給NBA資深副籃球事務總裁S.Jackson探聽聯盟關於Ebi這件事的決定。 : "Kevin called Stu just to see more than anything else," Casey said. "It kind : of got blown out of proportion." Casey說"McHale打電話給Jackson只是想看看事情是不是有其他發展的可能性，不過看 來機會是微乎其微。" : Casey said he apologized to Ebi for not having talked with him about the idea : of playing in the developmental league before Ebi found out from reporters : Friday. Ebi was angered to learn that the Wolves were looking into the : possibility of sending him to the D-League. Casey說他向Ebi道歉，因為在向聯盟陳情之前，他並沒有找Ebi談過關於球隊有要把他 下放到NBADL打球的想法，直到禮拜五Ebi才從記者發現有這檔事存在，而Ebi本人則對灰狼 尋求將他送到NBADL的可能性感到憤怒。 : Casey said his talk with Ebi was productive. Casey說他跟Ebi的交談是有價值的。 : "He understood," Casey said. "He was willing, at the end of the day, to do : whatever's best for the team. That says a lot about Ndudi." Casey說"他了解了，只要對球隊有益的事，不管如何他都願意去做。" : As it turns out, Ebi's lack of willingness to go along with the D-League plan : is a moot point. The fact that Ebi will not be able to gain experience in the : lower-tier league means that if he's kept on the roster, he's not likely to : play much this season. 原本Ebi缺乏到發展聯盟打球的意願是爭論的癥結點，但事實卻是Ebi未具有到次級聯 盟打球以增加實戰經驗的資格，這也正意味著他的名字本季如果繼續掛在球員名單上，他 依然無法有很多上場的時間來磨練身手。 : The Wolves owe Ebi $803,600 for this season under his guaranteed contract. : They would have to pay him that amount if they waive him. The team also must : decide by Oct. 31 whether to pick up an option to extend his contract into : 2006-07 or allow him to pursue free agency next summer. 根據Ebi的保證合約，灰狼本季必須付給他$80,3600的薪水，就算球隊選擇將他揮棄 ，他們依然必須支付這筆薪水。球隊也必須在10月31日前決定是否要將Ebi的合約延長至' 06-'07球季或讓他在明年暑假就變成自由球員。 : Wolves owner Glen Taylor said Friday the team must decide whether it's better : to waive Ebi, which would open a roster spot and let him pursue playing with : another team. 灰狼老闆G.Taylor禮拜五說球隊必須決定是否要揮棄Ebi，讓他有到別的球隊尋求擠進 球員名單的機會。 : "He's got to earn it," general manager Jim Stack said Saturday. "It remains : to be seen." 總管J.Stack禮拜六說"他必須更努力以爭取上場的機會，他依然保有機會。" : Ebi, 21, has played just 86 minutes in two seasons with Minnesota. He had : played 11 minutes, the fewest on the team, heading into Saturday night's game : at Milwaukee. 21歲的Ebi在灰狼兩季的時間總共只上場了86分鐘，在禮拜六晚上跟密爾瓦基的比賽當 中他也只上了全隊最少的11分鐘。 : The organization has not made any firm decisions about who will play in the : developmental league this season, Casey said. Guards Bracey Wright and Lionel : Chalmers are possibilities, assuming they make the team, along with center : Dwayne Jones. Casey說球團尚未決定本季將把那些人送至NBADL，後衛B.Wright和L.Chalmers是可能的 人選，他猜想球隊會選擇將中鋒D.Jones留在陣中。 : There's "no clear-cut candidate" to make the final spot on the roster, Casey : said. Casey說現在球隊的球員名單最後一個位置還沒有一個明確、有力的人選。 --
