On the day Ron Artest questioned his decision to stay with the Kings, Beno
Udrih had no such internal conflict.
當阿泰對於他做出留在國王的決定感到疑問時，beno就沒有這樣的天人交戰。
"I know I'm not going to have any regrets," Udrih said by phone from New York
City.
Nor should he.
"我知道我不會有任何的後悔" beno在電話中這麼說(揪甘心，這幾年國王就交給你了)
The fifth-year player, who was a career backup until last season, agreed to a
five-year deal with the Kings on Tuesday, filling the void at point guard for
a team so badly in need while landing the sort of contract few would have
foreseen eight months ago. Two sources close to the team said Udrih - who was
traded from San Antonio to Minnesota last in October and waived before the
Kings signed him Nov. 1 - was given the Kings' entire midlevel exception and
will earn approximately $32 million over the five seasons. He cannot
officially sign the deal until July 9 because of the league's moratorium
period.
在聯盟中已是第五年，之前都是替補命，直到去年才有所不同，禮拜二時同意了和國王
的五年合約，填補球隊在PG的洞。有人談到BENO-去年十月被馬刺送到明尼蘇達，之後
被waive，國王簽了他。國王提供他5年全中產，大約是32m。因為聯盟這時候休
息，所以必須到9號才能正式簽約。
In his first three seasons in San Antonio, Udrih went from a highly regarded
rookie to Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's doghouse. But his circumstances
eventually turned, from his emergency signing by the Kings after a thumb
injury to Mike Bibby to the season in which few doubted Udrih's ability to be
a full-time starter.
他在馬刺的前三個球季，beno是個非常被重視的新秀。但情勢轉變了，當國王因為BB的
大拇指受傷了簽他之後，出現了質疑beno是否有當先發能力的聲音。
The Los Angeles Clippers had no doubts. They were believed to be the most
likely team to challenge the Kings in the Udrih sweepstakes. He met with
Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy in New York City on Monday night and received an
offer identical to one the Kings already had put forth. Udrih said New York,
Miami and Cleveland also showed interest, but only the Clippers and Kings
offered a five-year deal.
快艇最懂他的好。被認為是最可以挑戰國王簽下beno的球隊。禮拜一他和老鄧見面，
快艇也提出了和國王一樣的價碼。beno說尼克，熱火和騎士也對他有興趣，但只有快艇
和國王提供五年合約。
"I met with Dunleavy and he made a good impression on me," Udrih said.
"我和老鄧見面，對他有很好的印象"beno如是說。
"But I talked to (the Kings) early (Tuesday) morning, like 10 o'clock
(Pacific time) and then I talked to them and to my family and my close
friends who have been around the league. Every minute I was leaning to
Sacramento."
"但我稍早和國王談過，10點吧！之後我告訴他們，還有我的家人和密友。無時無刻我
都是心繫Sacramento"(如果這樣還不簽下他就太沒人性了 〒△〒)
Yet Udrih's call to Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie left his future
uncertain enough that the Kings moved down their wish list of point guards in
anticipation of Udrih declining. Kevin Bradbury, the agent for free-agent
guard Chris Duhon, said the Kings called about Duhon just hours before Udrih
called back with his final decision.
beno還沒有打電話給Petrie確定他的去留前，國王持續在找如果beno不在時PG的人選。
Duhon的經紀人說國王在beno打電話確定要留下的前一小時才跟Duhon通話過。
Meanwhile, it's unclear exactly what part Baron Davis played. The veteran
point guard surprisingly opted out of his final season ($17.8 million) with
Golden State and reportedly will join the Clippers for a five-year deal worth
$65 million. Udrih's agent, Marc Cornstein, said the Clippers' offer still
was available to Udrih when he opted for Sacramento.
大鬍子已經和快艇簽了。beno的紀經人說快艇仍然希望可以簽下beno。
While Udrih answered many of the questions surrounding his game last season,
the question of durability again was raised when he missed 10 games near the
end of the season with a back strain. Still, Petrie said Udrih showed plenty
to warrant the deal. In the 51 games Udrih started, he averaged 14.4 points
on 47.4 percent shooting (40.4 from three-point range) and five assists.
當beno回答許多關於上個賽季的問題時，持久度又開始被提起，他因為背部扭傷而缺陣
了最後十場。Petrie仍然說beno展現出值這個約。在beno先發的51場比賽中，平均14.4
分，47.4%的投籃命中率(40.4%的三分球命中率)和5助攻。
"He's just turning 26," Petrie said. "This is his first year of being a
full-time starter. ... I think his best basketball is still in front of him."
"他才剛要26歲"Petrie很有道理的說"這是他當全職先發的第一年，我想他仍然有很好的
前途"
In light of Artest's decision to not opt out of his contract and Udrih's
expected signing, the Kings' payroll is approximately $70 million and nearing
the expected luxury tax threshold of $72 million. While the Kings still have
the biannual exception (approximately $1.8 million) available, Petrie said
any more "outright (free-agent) signings" are unlikely.
在阿泰決定不opt out還有beno要簽約之後，國王的薪資來到70m左右，很接近要繳豪華稅
的門檻。雖然國王還有biannual exception(大約1.8m)，Petrie說不太可能再簽下FA了。
Asked if the Udrih signing jeopardized the grand plan of clearing significant
salary cap space the next two summers, Petrie said he, too, is without regret.
當被問到簽下beno是否會破壞了下兩季清空龐大薪資的計劃時，Petrie說，"我不後悔"
(真是鐵錚錚的漢子)
"You're trying to accomplish two things at once to a certain extent: Continue
to keep value on the roster and still give yourself an opportunity down the
road (to clear space)," he said. "I feel comfortable that, to this point,
we're still in good shape there."
"同一時間要完成兩個任務，讓球隊保有競爭力卻仍然有機會清空薪間，我感到很爽，對
於這一點，我們仍然保持地很好"
