[外電] Illness impacts Rubio's itinerary

After seemingly seamless travel from Spain to Los Angeles to Sacramento in
recent days, Ricky Rubio's road trip encountered an unexpected delay
Wednesday.
Rubio遠道而來，卻遭遇到未知的阻礙。

The Spanish point guard who arrived Tuesday afternoon became sick, meaning a
highly anticipated afternoon basketball session at the Kings' practice
facility did not take place. Rubio, who is here only to gauge the Kings'
interest in him at the No. 4 spot in the June 25 draft, might attempt to
conduct the session this morning.
我們的小王子生病了，原本下午的活動取消。但Rubio也許會想要在今早來一下。

Rubio watched a Kings workout with six other prospects Wednesday before
lunching with team representatives. A sore throat and fatigue limited the
itinerary to socializing.
在和球隊代表吃飯前Rubio看了其他人的workout。喉嚨不舒服和疲倦也限制了計劃。

Per draft rules, Rubio can stay only 48 hours and must be gone around 2 p.m.
today. And though it's clear he was willing to engage in some level of
basketball activities while here, it's unclear whether he will.
每個人都只能待48小時，Rubio必須在下午2點前離開(哇，連這都有規定啊，NBA真不簡單)
雖然很明顯他願意測試，但不清楚是否會做到。

Rubio's high-profile visit with the Kings had started well, with a long
dinner Tuesday night setting a positive tone while the team deliberated a
possible future together. There was much to discuss, including the basketball
question of whether Rubio is the right fit, and business matters.
這次沙城之旅進行得很順利，有個很棒的晚餐。

The problematic buyout of his contract with his current team, DKV Joventut,
remains pivotal, with Rubio reportedly obligated to pay $6.6 million this
season to play in the NBA and $8 million if he waits until next season.
當然合約問題也是很重要。

According to an ESPN.com report, Rubio – who has not filed a lawsuit but has
asked for arbitration to settle the dispute – has retained a highly regarded
labor law firm in Barcelona to represent him. Civil legal action would be his
next course of action.
根據ESPN.COM--Rubio沒有提出訴訟，但有要求仲裁。

Sources with knowledge of the situation say Rubio's camp still has no more
visits scheduled on this trip. That includes Memphis, which has the No. 2
pick and is a team for which Rubio reportedly has no interest in playing, and
Oklahoma City, which might opt for firepower with its No. 3 pick instead of a
true point guard who could step on the toes of incumbent rising star Russell
Westbrook. If Rubio's American draft tour indeed begins and ends in
Sacramento, it will say everything about what's to come.
熟知內情的人說Rubio陣容還沒有到其他地方的計劃。也就是在說曼菲斯和奧克拉河馬。
如果Rubio的美國之旅都在沙城，這就不言可喻了。

Meanwhile, the Kings' schedule is booked. They have a workout with USC
swingman DeMar DeRozan on Saturday, and a Sunday session including Davidson
guard Stephen Curry in his first Kings workout and a second visit for guards
Tyreke Evans (Memphis) and Nick Calathes (Florida). On Monday, Pittsburgh
forward Sam Young headlines a multi-player workout.
DeRozan禮拜六測試，禮拜天有Curry第一次來，還有第二次來的Evans和Calathes。禮拜一
有Sam等多位球員。

Porter to 'sit out' next season – Terry Porter won't be with the Kings next
season, or likely any other NBA team.

In a phone interview, Porter, who was a Kings assistant in the 2002-03
season, said he plans to "sit out" next season.

After being discussed as a potential assistant to newly hired Kings coach
Paul Westphal, Porter said he spoke with Westphal about the job, but the
process went no further. Porter, who began last season as Phoenix's head
coach, is being paid through next season on his Suns contract. He said he
would look out for opportunities.

"I really just have to see when they come, and go from there," he said.
上面說過，他不來了。

Dallas assistant Mario Elie is believed to be a strong candidate for one of
the vacant Kings assistant jobs, while Idaho Stampede coach and two-time NBA
Development League Coach of the Year Bryan Gates also is being considered.
Elie被認為是國王助教強力候選人，兩次NBDL的年度教練Bryan Gates也被納入其中。
