※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： : 標題: [情報] Grade So Far... Minnesota Timberwolves : 時間: Sat Aug 23 12:04:17 2008 : : http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=9707 : : : After moving Kevin Garnett before the start of last season, the Minnesota : Timberwolves spent the majority of last year living in relative mediocrity. : Nobody across the league expected much from them, and there wasn't really : much that came from one of the more depleted rosters in the NBA. 沒了KG的上一季灰狼隊沒有愛， : However, after some tinkering this summer the Wolves clearly are in better : shape than they were a year ago, ready to move past the KG Era and start : fresh with something new, and quite possibly something promising. 然而今年夏天的改造後， 狼群顯然比去年更加成型了～凹屋，（譯按：還能更糟嗎？） 他們在後KG時代準備好了， 展開全新的一面並有所作為。 : Players Added In Draft 選秀來的青春肉體 : Kevin Love: Selected fifth overall by the Memphis Grizzlies and then moved in : a large deal for Minnesota's pick, original pick, O.J. Mayo. : Grade: A- : Mayo was really the only guy Minnesota could've taken with the third pick and : gotten value out of the selection. Luckily that value turned into the guy : they really wanted in Kevin Love, as well as another valuable piece in Mike : Miller. Love is exactly the kind of gritty, fundamentally sound player the : Wolves need, and he should make for a very talented part of a scary : frontcourt alongside Al Jefferson. 凱文。愛：透過一大筆交易把我們原先第三順位的Mayo從曼菲斯灰熊隊在第五順位所 選的愛換來。 評價：A- Mayo是灰狼隊能在第三順位所能挑到最符合選秀價值的球員， 幸運地（？）把這價值換來了愛，（譯按：幸運應該是說釣魚王沒直接選愛吧） 而且還附帶了另一位優質球員MM， 勇敢愛是灰狼所需要的基石， 和大Al一起建構可怕的前場將是他會展現的天賦。 : Nikola Pekovic: First selection of the second round by Minnesota, but will : stay in Serbia this season. : Grade: Incomplete : I've heard that Pekovic is very good, but we'll have to wait a little bit : longer to see if he's really NBA material. 第二輪的第一個選秀， 再等等吧，他還會繼續留在塞爾維亞， 沒人知道他會不會是進NBA的料。 : Free Agents Re-Signed 自由球員續約 : Sebastian Telfair: Signed a mutli-year deal this summer to back up Randy Foye : Grade: D+ : It says something about the market for point guards when a guy with Telfair's : track record can garner a mutli-year extension. The Wolves needed a backup : point guard, mostly because their starter this year (Foye) isn't even a true : one. Apparently they thought a guy who already knew the system would be the : best bet, but it's pretty easy to disagree. Sebastian Telfair：為了找Foye的替補所簽複數年合約 評價：D+ 有Telfair這般身手的球員在自由市場上本來就能獲得複數年合約， 灰狼隊會需要替補控衛， 絕大部分原因是Foye根本不是一個真正的控衛， 明顯地灰狼覺得找一個熟知系統的的人是最好的賭注， 但這是很容易被爭論的。 : Ryan Gomes: Signed a five-year, $21 million deal to remain in the Twin Cities. : Grade: B+ : Gomes is a very solid young player who for four million dollars a year is a : great value. His teammates love him, he's extremely active in the : Minnesota/St. Paul community, and his talent on the court is unquestionable. : It was nice to see him get locked up long-term with the Wolves. Ryan Gomes：續留在雙城市的代價五年2100萬 評價：B+ 以一年400萬的薪水讓Gomes這般年輕且成熟球員留在場上真是賺到， 他對明尼蘇達灌注了活力， 他的隊友愛死他了， 他場上的天賦是無庸置疑的， 很高興看到他能繼續在灰狼隊效力。 : Craig Smith: Re-signed for 2 years after his first deal with the Wolves : expired. : Grade: B- : Smith isn't going to blow anybody out of the water, but he's a reputable : bench guy that adds some depth to the frontcourt. With the addition of Love, : however, it's not clear exactly how much the team is going to need him. It : all depends on who stays healthy. Craig Smith：與灰狼第一筆合約到期後續簽兩年 評價：B- Smith的拼勁是不輸任何人的， 但他還只是個替前場增加板凳深度的球員， 因為我們有愛了， 然而我們不能知道球隊到底多需要他， 這得視誰能保持健康而定。 : Players Acquired Via Trade 透過交易來的 : Mike Miller: Acquired in the draft-deal that brought Miller, Love, Jason : Collins, and Brian Cardinal to Minnesota in exchange for Mayo, Antoine : Walker, and Marko Jaric. : Grade: A+ : Miller is one of the most underrated shooting guards in the league, and : considering how little the Wolves gave up to get him, his acquisition was a : resounding success before the guy even played a game. He'll be a huge hit in : Minnesota. MM不是巧克力：選秀交易帶來了Miller、愛、大三零還有Brian Cardinal 我們丟出了Mayo、囧路人，學友哥（除了有名模會出現在場邊你還期待他什麼） 評價：A+ MM是聯盟中最被低估的得分後衛之一， 再想想我們丟了什麼就得到他，（學友哥的價值還是灰熊隊的佛心來的？？） 在他上場前就已經獲得成功的聲音， 他將帶給明尼蘇達極大的衝擊。 : Jason Collins: Acquired in same trade as Miller. : Grade: C : Though he's not anything close to a star player, he's a relatively consistent : bench player who hurts nothing by being there. Average guy, average grade. 大三零：跟MM同一筆交易 評價：C 雖然他從來沒有和明星球員沾上邊，（他至少有在站旁邊過，我們只能在家看電視科科） 就顧開特力桶吧，誰顧都沒差， 很一般的傢伙。 : Brian Cardinal: Acquired in same trade as Miller. : Grade: D : Kudos to Kevin McHale for unloading Marko Jaric's elephantine contract, but : rescinded kudos for taking back Cardinal's. Even with his bloated bucks on : the salary cap, this deal was still a huge win for the Wolves considering : they got the best player in the deal (Miller) and the guy that actually : wanted to draft in the first place (Love). Brian Cardinal：也是同筆交易來的 評價：D 反正就是為了要放掉學友哥平衡交易來的， 但對灰狼隊來說還是賺到， 因為我們得到整筆交易中最好的球員MM， 還有我們在選秀會最想得到的愛。 : Rodney Carney: Along with Calvin Booth, was traded from Philadelphia for cap : space used to sign Elton Brand. : Grade: B : One of the more athletic young guys in the league, Carney was an expendable : up-and-comer for Philly the last two seasons. Hopefully a change of scenery : gives him more opportunity to shine, but he'll be locked into a tough : rotation with Rashad McCants and Corey Brewer. Rodney Carney：76人為了簽下名牌所交易來，反正都是為了薪資上限 評價：B 聯盟中最有活力的小子之一， 費城為了招換更強的戰鬥怪獸把他當了祭品， 希望他能有更好的展望， 但他在跟Rashad McCants還有Corey Brewer爭取上場時間還有得拼。 : Calvin Booth: Acquired in same trade as Carney. : Grade: D+ : Booth's been around the league and never really has stuck with any franchise. : If he were worth much more than cap space in a trade, he might have had : better luck sticking with someone. Calvin Booth：同上一筆一起來的 評價：D+ 黏來黏去的不知道誰跟誰沾上邊。 : Business To Be Done : : With all the trades the Wolves have done already it doesn't seem likely : anything big and splashy is left for them to do. They've got a couple of free : agents left from last year's roster, but the team already has fourteen guys : definitely on the roster for next year. Will Chris Richard, Michael Doleac, : or Kirk Snyder be on the roster next year? That's about all Minnesota has : left to decide. 灰狼好像做了什麼大事， 對他們需要的來說還算是好的， 但球隊明年輪替名單已經到達14個了， Chris Richard、Michael Doleac還是Kirk Snyder誰明年會在輪替名單？ 那是灰狼還要做的功課。 : Total Offseason Grade: B : : It's hard to call Minnesota's overhaul a coup, but they definitely made some : nice moves and upgraded their roster without giving up much at all. They'll : win more games than they did last year, and it seems as if they're definitely : on the up-and-up. They don't have KG anymore, but they do seem ready to turn : a new page in the team's history. 季後總評：B 很難說灰狼隊改造成功， 但他們制服組總算做了點好事， 沒丟什麼東西就升級了～噹噹， 他們會比去年贏更多的比賽，（去年輸了爐主要不要？） 看來好像更漸入佳境， 已經沒了KG就像大軍已經沒了特異功能， 但他們看起來像是準備好開創球隊新的歷史。 英文不好有錯請指正 --
