http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/136877548.html Jerry Zgoda's Sunday Insider: What to do at the 2 Three paths for the Timberwolves to explore filling what is perceived to be a hole at shooting guard. A certain faction of Wolves Nation already believes its team is just one real shooting guard away from the playoffs. Here are three paths they can take toward upgrading that position: 當灰狼隊的SG變成SO時，球隊到底應該怎麼辦呢????? 來，這邊有三張牌，請選擇一張你喜歡的 Patience 這是第一張牌：病人牌 The Timberwolves invested 2010's fourth overall pick on Wes Johnson, choosing him over center DeMarcus Cousins. They have asked him to play shooting guard instead of his more natural small forward spot. 2010選秀當中灰狼隊放過了DeMarcus Cousins選擇了Wesley Johnson，接著這隻球隊 就要求他要從大學的SF位轉為SG位。 He's a seemingly gifted shooter who can't shoot. He also has struggled to show the ball-handling skills that a shooting guard needs. 他看起來是個能射之人卻射不出來，在處理球的方面也是感到掙扎當中， SG在進攻面該做得事他一樣都沒有做好。 If Johnson faced Kobe Bryant every night, it might be a different story, but he too often is too passive. And even with a new coach and a new system, he still hasn't shown himself to be much more than a one-dimensional jump shooter. 如果他每個晚上都對上Kobe Bryant，那或許每天都有不同的故事可以寫 ，但WES這位球員表現的實在太過被動了，當大家醒來發現教練與戰術系統都轉變 後，他卻連一個只為投籃而投籃的選手都比不過。 He does, however, have the kind of wiry, athletic body that often succeeds in the NBA. The team's best option is to give him time to fulfill that promise they saw in him, if he can find the confidence and assertiveness to do so. 他可以的，這樣的靈動筋肉人往往在NBA都能成功，最好的版本就是球隊繼續給他 時間去變成球隊希望看到的那個WES，持續等到他找到自信與應該擁有的那一面。 It'd help, too, if six-year veteran Martell Webster can get, and stay, healthy. When briefly healthy last season, his shooting stroke and defensive effort made him valuable. 也許WEB健康回到場上將是一個幫助，上個球季他短暫的健康的在球場時， WES的投籃與防守都產生了價值。 Trade 這是第二張牌：易物牌 It's the most immediate option, but they have limited resources to offer unless they'd deal No. 2 overall pick Derrick Williams (bad idea). All their other possible trade pieces -- Michael Beasley, Nikola Pekovic, Luke Ridnour, Anthony Tolliver -- have their flaws and limited value, but Johnson's upside might fetch a fine player in return. 快速不囉唆，直接把人丟出去接住另外一個人回來，但是球隊的礦產有限， 用掉D.Williams可能是個可以獲得相對報酬的策略，不過交易價值不高不低的 Michael Beasley、Nikola Pekovic、Luke Ridnour、Anthony Tolliver拿來交易 似乎也是個不錯的辦法，不然就是利用WES將來養成功的版本可能可以跟某些球隊 換來不錯的SG。 The market is also limited: 灰狼隊也是要在零缺勿爛的市場裡找貨色 O.J. Mayo, Memphis: The Grizzlies already have nearly traded him twice. He's undersized and never turned into the star Wolves fans once envisioned. But he's both an adept shooter and defender and would be a steadying upgrade next to Ricky Rubio. 灰熊隊曾經有兩次想交易掉，他除了身高稍矮外，卻是個能射之人與防守者， 還可以陪著Rubio一起成長。 Kevin Martin, Houston: Played for Wolves coach Rick Adelman in Sacramento and Houston. He's overpaid ($12 million), nearly 29 and a fairly one-dimensional shooter/scorer. Rockets already traded him once, but David Stern quashed that Chris Paul deal. 火箭隊曾經想交易他，但是被Stern灰鍋了下來，他是個有大合約的純粹的 得分者。 Andre Iguodala, Philadelphia: Another shooting guard with a big contract ($13.5 million), he's a fine individual defender and ballhandler the Wolves lack and he's also built to run. But his scoring skills might not justify that salary. 這是個不好說的球員，他有大合約不過他的堵人與處理球的能力是灰狼隊缺乏的。 Eric Gordon, New Orleans: He'd be the best "get," but the Hornets won't deal the centerpiece of their Chris Paul trade unless they're convinced he won't re-sign. And they'd probably never trade him to Minnesota because they own the Wolves' No. 1 pick next summer. 這可是個很棒的版本，不過...要交易他可能要先滿足其中一項條件 他根本不想回簽。 關鍵字：選秀籤。 Evan Turner, Philadelphia: No. 2 pick in 2010 is slowly finding his way in NBA. Philadelphia probably trades Iguodala or him eventually. 可能費城人該做出Turner與小AI取其一的決定了。 Joe Johnson, Atlanta; Ben Gordon, Detroit; Monta Ellis, Golden State: Veteran scorers with HUGE contracts maybe nobody will touch. 其他可能是質量與體積相符的物品，或是體積大於質量的物品，或是質量大...恩不可能 EX：Joe Johnson、Ben Gordon、Monta Ellis。 這是第三張牌：許願牌 Pay The Wolves pursued free agents Jamal Crawford and Arron Afflalo and signed Barea instead. The best shooting guard still available is J.R. Smith, the former Nugget who won't be released from his Chinese team until February at the earliest. The Wolves could offer the $5 million midlevel exception. 他的意思是說好的SG還是存在的，那就是現在還在中國打球的J.R. Smith， 他直到2月前都將不會被釋出，灰狼隊是能提供他一份價值$5 million的中產合約的 --
