Joe Smith agrees to terms with Cavs

Over the past several years, the Cavaliers have made pitches to numerous
midseason free agents in the hope they would help in a playoff run.
For one reason or another, the fit wasn't right or the Cavs weren't as
attractive as another suitor. Often, some of their rivals were able to land
help that eventually made a difference.

過去幾年，騎士總是在季中找尋能夠補強季後賽戰力的自由球員。但結果卻是補強戰力不
適合騎士體系，又或者騎士無競爭力爭取到想要的球員。騎士的競爭者往往能做到真正的
補強。

This season, however, lots of things have been different. Soon, Joe Smith will
be one of the examples.

本季一切都不一樣了，很快Joe Smith的加入就會是個例子。

Smith and the Cavs agreed to the terms on a one-year contract Tuesday. He is
expected to clear waivers Wednesday and then make it official.

今天Smith和騎士達成1年合約的協議，明天他就會正式成為自由球員，騎士就能將他簽下。

"After careful consideration of his options, Joe has decided that the Cavs are
the best fit," said Dan Fegan, Smith's agent.

「在經過審慎地考量後，Joe決定騎士是最好的選擇。」Smith的經紀人Dan Fegan道。

Smith probably will not be ready to play Wednesday when the Cavs host the
Milwaukee Bucks at The Q, but he will likely be in uniform on Friday when the
Cavs visit the Boston Celtics.

Smith在明天騎士主場迎戰公鹿時不會上場，但他很可能會在星期五作客賽爾提克時出賽。

After finishing up his buyout with the Oklahoma City Thunder -- where he
averaged 6.6 points and 4.5 rebounds in 36 games -- Smith was in contact with
several of his former Cavs teammates. Smith played the last 27 games of last
season plus the playoffs with the Cavs last season.

本季Smith在雷霆買斷前36場比賽，平均一場拿下6.6分、4.5個籃板。Smith最近有和一些
騎士前隊友聯絡。Smith上一季在騎士共打了27場比賽（包含季後賽）。

The 6-foot-10, 14-year pro will provide the Cavs with some needed big-man
depth. A solid defender who is also an effective midrange shooter, Smith will
help fill the hole Ben Wallace left when he broke his leg last week.

6呎10吋、14年經驗的老鳥將會增加騎士長人的深度。防守不錯的Smith有著不錯的中距離
跳投能力，Smith能夠補上Ben Wallace因傷無法出賽的漏洞。

When Wallace returns, which could be in as little as three weeks, Smith will
give the Cavs more experience in their big-man rotation.

Wallace最快也要在三個禮拜後歸隊，到時候Smith能夠讓騎士有更彈性的長人輪替。

Several teams reportedly showed interest in Smith, including the Los Angeles
Lakers and New Orleans Hornets.

另外對Smith有興趣的隊伍包括湖人以及黃蜂。
