NBA Free Agency Begins
Posted on: July 1, 2009 1:35 am

The NBA’s free-agent negotiating period opened with a flurry at 12:01 a.m.
Wednesday, with teams positioning themselves for what figures to be a hectic
and unpredictable summer unlike any other. The Portland Trail Blazers came
out determined to pull off the first impact move, making a strong push to
sign Hedo Turkoglu, the prized free agent of the summer, according to a
person familiar with the discussions.

NBA自由市場協商在稍早開跑了

While Portland had been expected to prioritize an upgrade at point guard by
making a run at Andre Miller, the league source said Portland came out of the
gate at 12:01 a.m. trying to lure Turkoglu with a $50-million deal. After
acquiring Vince Carter from the Nets to hedge against Turkoglu’s departure,
the Magic are not expected to be a factor in a discussion that begins in the
$10 million-per-year range.

波特蘭開出第一砲,他們向Hedo提出大約50M總額的合約

Not one to be discouraged by the damaged economy and lack of top-shelf
talent, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban traveled to New York to be the first to
meet with free agent Jason Kidd – pre-empting the Knicks’ plans to lure
Kidd back to the New York area, where he could be close to his children and
play for Mike D’Antoni, whose wide-open offensive style suits him.

Mark Cuban則是去紐約會見Jason Kidd,想要阻撓尼克想讓Kidd重回紐約的計劃

Team executives widely believed that Ben Gordon would quickly agree to terms
with Detroit, a move that would almost certainly require other moves to
create a spot for the Bulls’ shooting guard. The Pistons just endured a
39-win season and first-round playoff sweep, in large part due to the
three-headed backcourt of Rodney Stuckey, Richard Hamilton, and Allen
Iverson. The fallout led to coach Michael Curry’s sudden and unexpected
firing Tuesday, with Doug Collins and former Mavs coach Avery Johnson
emerging as the front-runners to replace him. A high-level coaching source
told CBSSports.com that the job appeared to be Collins’ to lose.

很多人都相信Ben Gordon將會很快的披上活塞球衣

Rasheed Wallace’s camp was expecting calls early Wednesday from the Celtics,
Cavaliers, and Spurs, among others. Kevin Garnett, a league source confirmed,
was working behind the scenes to recruit ‘Sheed to Boston. Wallace’s
attitude – which obviously can be both good and bad – and his ability to
stretch the front court would be assets to the Cavs in their quest to fortify
their pre-draft acquisition of Shaquille O’Neal. Wallace will have to factor
in whether anyone comes forward with more than the mid-level exception. He
also is said to be wary of the strong egos in the Boston locker room, not to
mention the fact that the Rajon Rondo situation needs to be resolved. The
Celtics cleared a spot for Wallace by not extending a qualifying offer to
power forward Leon Powe, who is coming off major knee surgery and became an
unrestricted free agent.

Rasheed的團隊則是預計會在星期三凌晨(我們現在)接到超賽,騎士,和馬刺的電話

The Nuggets also have long coveted Wallace, who nearly went to Denver before
the team acquired Kenyon Martin in 2004. But according to a person familiar
with the discussions, the Nuggets were meeting with Portland restricted free
agent Channing Frye as the clock struck midnight ET. Nobody does more with
less than the Nuggets, who would benefit from Frye’s pick-and-pop ability
without breaking the bank.

金塊也在追求Sheed的名單內,但消息指出,金塊最先接觸的是已經成為完全自由球員的
Channing Frye!

Charlie Villanueva, who became an unrestricted free agent after Milwaukee
decided not to tender him a qualifying offer, looks like a fallback option
for Cleveland. The Spurs also are considering Antonio McDyess.

Villanueva,看來是騎士目前的備胎,而馬刺隊也慎重考慮McDyess

The defending champion Lakers intend to make every effort to re-sign
unrestricted free agents Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza. They got welcome news
from Finals MVP Kobe Bryant, who did not exercise his early termination
option and will likely entertain an extension with the Lakers this summer, a
high-ranking league source told CBSSports.com. That means that Bryant, who
only last summer made noise about wanting out of L.A., would be giving up any
leverage he had this summer or next – when he has a player option – to
influence the direction of the team, including who succeeds Phil Jackson
whenever he retires.

湖人隊則打算盡全力留下Odom和Ariza,好消息是Kobe沒有選擇執行ETO,所以會繼續留在湖
人.

The Rockets, stung by devastating news that Yao Ming could miss all of the
2009-10 season – or longer – with a broken foot, went to work immediately
on their Yao-less contingency plan. GM Daryl Morey announced on his Twitter
account that he was meeting with Orlando restricted free-agent center Marcin
Gortat and urged Houston fans to send an email to
[e-mail] to help his recruiting efforts.

火箭隊說他們正在與Gortat接觸並且希望休士頓的球迷能夠email到
[e-mail] 來幫忙打動他的心

Carlos Boozer’s decision not to opt out of his $12.7 million contract for
next season gave more leverage to other free-agent power forwards, including
his teammate, restricted free agent Paul Millsap. The Knicks’ David Lee was
expecting calls from the three teams with the most cap space for a
straight-up signing – Detroit, Oklahoma City, and Memphis – and figured to
generate sign-and-trade talks among the likes of Chicago, Toronto, Golden
State, Miami, and Dallas.

Boozer留在爵士的決定,受益的是其他PF位置的FA,包括Millsap和David Lee.
華人之光的去向則包括了有可能直接簽他的活塞/雷霆/灰熊,以及有可能用先簽後換
換到他的公牛/暴龍/勇士/熱火/小牛



以上都只是簡略翻譯,若有錯誤麻煩予以指正!感謝:)

--

Hedo 50m 不可能高於5年吧
年薪千萬鎂 達成!!

老朋友雖然回不來了 但到了一個極具競爭力的球隊
恭喜他!!

Millsap&Lee 落腳處應該不會是國王
PF有JT/Brockman了
簽來讓JT去打替補中鋒 好像也不怎麼高明
Diogu會續簽嗎?真希望Brockman會影分身之術

這樣老闆還要物色什麼大物?
Boo跟Okur都留下了 Marion眼中只有高額退休金
還有一堆老將等著加入強隊

派崔老大 我們別玩了
雖然今年是資方市場
還是把銀彈留著明年亂飆卡實際

希望能簽胸無大志的老將
補齊鋒線的完整度
這樣我就很滿足了
