Thank You Big Game James (& Please Stay)

※本文的寫作點尚在Posey簽約情況不明朗前，所以標題上有個「Please Stay」(笑)，
不過當時還真沒想到會留不住Posey呢......囧
-------------------------------------------------
I had a rough order in which I wanted to do these Thank You's but considering
the fact that James Posey is opting out of his contract, I thought it might be
a good idea to get his thanks in quick. Who knows? Maybe a little blog love
would convince him to stay!
我寫這個「感謝系列」其實是有順序的，但是Posey跳出合約後我決定先寫他的，也許這也
能成為他留下來的理由之一呢！
Thank you Big Game James! You brought a Championship swagger to this team.
You were one of Tom Thibodeau's star pupils on defense. You got under the
skin of opponents as the classic "guy I'm glad is on our side." And you had a
tremendous knack for hitting dagger three pointers that either killed a run by
the other team or started one for us.
謝謝你Big Game James!你幫助這支球隊奪冠。你是Tom Thibodeau防守體系中的明星球員。
是那種對手總是希望能和你一隊的球員。你對於週邊的判斷相當準確，可以自己投3分球，
同時還能讓對手投不進。
It is impossible to say how many games would have swung in the other direction
if we replaced James Posey with an average reserve swingman, but I'm sure it
would be more than a handful.
Will he be back? The team wants him but it is no sure thing.
球隊的替補搖擺人如果不是你而是別人，很難說我們會多輸掉多少比賽，但是我肯定那不是
兩隻手數的完。
他會回來嗎？球隊當然需要他，但不確定他是否回來。
The key reserve is expected to exercise his option and forego the $ 3,462,480
he can take for next season. And the list of suitors should be lengthy. (How
badly do the Lakers need a guy like this?)
The Celts are hoping they can bring him back with a deal that not only takes
care of Posey but allows the club the ability to make other needed moves.
他已經行使了他的選擇權放棄下個賽季$ 3,462,480的收入。不過追逐他的球隊很多（湖人
不是很迫切的需要他這樣的球員嗎？）
但是球隊希望不但能把他留住，還能留住一些球隊其他位置需要小修補的空間。
(↑註：結果這句話成為最後我們沒能留下Posey的主因，我們不能為了留下Posey以致球隊
全無退路。)
And there's the rub. I could not and would not blame him one bit for taking
whatever deal was set before him with the most zeros and years on it. With
that said, if the Celtics throw big truckloads of cash at him (perhaps matching
another team's offer), then the team might be handcuffed in terms of other
moves. If we want to reload for another title and keep an eye on the future, a
little bit of cap flexibility would be nice to have.
這就是矛盾所在，我並不是責備Posey，他當然不能不在意合約金額和年限，而看到是塞爾
提克提出的就簽，但是如果塞爾提克在他身上花了太多錢（跟進其他球隊的合約），那麼其
他位置的修補就沒了空間。如果我們想衛冕，並且考慮球隊的長期規劃，那麼我們還是需要
一點點薪資靈活性。
Can they work something out? Paul Pierce seems pretty confident.
那麼雙方能夠達成一致嗎？PP似乎很自信。
“I think he likes us,” Pierce said with a smile. “I think he’ll want to
stick around another year.”
「我想他喜歡我們，我認為他希望下個賽季繼續和我們這幫人一起打球。」PP笑著說道。
(↑註：Posey的確喜歡波士頓呀！只是更喜歡money~money~money~~~囧 只是在商言商，這
點倒是無須怨嘆。)
If there's one thing I've learned this year, it is never to doubt The Truth.
而如果說我今年學到了什麼，那就是不要懷疑真理。
(↑註：真是太抱歉了，金錢無敵，球場上才有真理......PP你當時也太樂觀了 囧)
