[外電] 封王的下一步？

[lokiishere (飛柳)]

As the Lakers prepare to celebrate with another championship parade, one
might wonder if they can do it all again next year. In all likelihood, the
2010-11 Los Angeles Lakers will look similar to this year's team, but there
are still a few changes that could happen.


當Lakers又一次為封王慶典準備時，有些人已在猜想明年能否再現紫金王朝。就所有可
能性來說10-11球季Los Angeles Lakers的陣容將大同小異，一些小更動仍是可能發生
的。


The big question is whether or not Phil Jackson will return, and I think he
will. There was a distant possibility that Jackson could have left to coach
the Bulls or Nets, but those two teams have since hired head coaches. That
leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers and LA Clippers as the only two teams without
a head coach. LeBron or not, I simply can't envision Jackson going to
Cleveland at this stage in his life. And it would take a dramatic set of
circumstances for Jackson to go to the Clippers.


最大的問題在於Phil Jackson是否會重執教條，而我認為他會。Jackson似乎會接掌
Bulls或Nets，但上述兩隊都已顧了新教頭。如此一來，Cleveland Cavaliers及
LA Clippers將是聯盟唯二尚未決定新教頭的球隊。先不論LeBron的吸引力，我實在
無法想像一把年紀的Jackson會前往Cleveland。至於Clippers，就只能寄望奇蹟發生囉。


So Jackson's choice is essentially between coaching the Lakers or retiring. I
believe that Jackson will ultimately want to try for his unprecedented fourth
three-peat and his 12th NBA title. There has been speculation that Jackson
might have to take a pay cut, because Jerry Buss increased payroll
expenditures (luxury tax included) by $30 million this past year without
seeing a marked increase in revenues. But Jerry Buss has said his No. 1 goal
is to surpass the Celtics in NBA titles. With the Lakers at 16 and the
Celtics at 17, Buss knows that Jackson offers him the best chance of getting
there quickly. Expect Jackson to sign a one-year deal to come back next year
for roughly the same amount of money he's making now.


因此Jackson只剩留任或退休的選擇而已。我相信對於史上第四次三連霸及第十二座
NBA冠軍，Jackson是躍躍欲試的。有人猜測Jackson會接受降薪，因為Jerry Buss支付了3
000萬的薪資，收入卻沒有顯著的增加。但Jerry Buss已表明他的第一目標是在總冠軍數
上超越Celtics。此刻雙方的差距只剩一場，Buss很清楚Jackson能提供他一條捷徑。有
可能Jackson會簽下一年薪資略同的合約。


The other major question is at point guard. Derek Fisher is an unrestricted
free agent, Jordan Farmar is a restricted free agent, and Shannon Brown is
likely to opt out of his contract to become a free agent. Farmar is as good
as gone. He never progressed far enough and just doesn't seem to fit into the
triangle offense. The Lakers won't match any team's offer for him, and Farmar
sounds like a guy who'd like to try a new situation. I also believe that
Brown will wind up getting a larger contract offer from another team hoping
to channel his athleticism into quality minutes.



另一個最主要的問題是控球後衛。Derek Fisher已是完全自由球員，Jordan Farmar是
受限自由球員，而Shannon Brown似乎有意放棄合約而成為自由球員。Farmar也許適合
離開。他從未組織的夠完整爾且並不能融入三角進攻。Lakers不會提供與他隊相同的
條件，而且Farmar樂於挑戰新環境。Brown試圖從他隊獲得更長的合約，也期望能將自己
的運動生涯導向更多上場時間。


Fisher's free agent options are limited, and it is likely that he will stay.
Fisher only wants to play in a handful of cities so that his daughter can
continue to get quality medical care, and few teams are looking to sign a
36-year old point guard who is clearly on his last legs. Fisher fits in
better with the Lakers than any other team, and he's the squad's emotional
leader. Expect Fisher to sign a short-term contract for less than what he's
been making the past few years.

Fisher的選擇有限，而他似乎也有意留下。Fisher只想在少數能使她女兒獲得更好醫
療資源的城市打球，也只有少數球隊會尋求一個36歲已近退休的控球後衛。與其他球隊
相比Fisher在Lakers能更融入團隊，而他也是小組的精神領袖。Fisher可能會簽下比以往
短期的合約。


The Lakers will subsequently need to sign 2 point guards, and will have
limited resources to do so. They will likely make a run at veterans Steve
Blake, Luke Ridnour, and Earl Watson. I would also expect the Lakers to
audition a variety of point guards most basketball fans haven't heard of
before, similar to how Smush Parker came out of nowhere to start a few years
back. None of these names are exciting, but the Lakers don't need much out of
the point guard position because of their strengths elsewhere.

Lakers需要在極少資源的情形下簽下兩名控球後衛。也許會尋求老將Steve
Blake, Luke Ridnour及Earl Watson，也不排除一些球迷從未聽過的球員，就如同幾
年前的Smush Parker一樣。這些名字都極為普通，但在Lakers的其他優勢下，不需要太多
控球後衛。


For nearly a year, we've been hearing rumors about a potential Andrew Bynum
for Chris Bosh trade. This is a fun argument for Lakers fans to have. Bosh is
one of the best big men in the league, and as a free agent this summer, he
could only come to LA in a sign-and-trade with Toronto. The Raptors might be
inclined to do the deal in order to at least get something in return for
Bosh, who could otherwise walk away for nothing.

近幾年，我們曾耳聞以潛力股Andrew Bynum交易Chris Bosh。這給了Lakers迷很有趣
的討論空間。Bosh是如今聯盟極佳的長人之一，而作為今夏的自由球員，他只可能透過
先簽約後交易的方式從Toronto來到LA。與其平白送走他，The Raptors當然希望一些回
饋。


Most Laker fans will tell you not to this deal. I would disagree. I think
Bosh is a premier NBA player who can keep the Lakers title window open even
longer. Contrary to what you hear on sports talk radio, I believe that he can
play strong at the basket. Phil Jackson is also one of Bosh's biggest fans,
and thinks he'd fit well in the triangle.

大多數的Laker迷持反對意見。我不認同。我認為Bosh是能夠幫Lakers開創更寬連霸路的
最佳的NBA球員。相較於你聽聞的消息，我相信他在禁區能發揮良好的破壞力。Phil
Jackson也是Bosh的大球迷，也認為他能有效融入三角戰術。



On the other hand, Bynum has proven himself to be injury prone and
inconsistent. If not for Kendrick Perkins' injury, a Bynum injury could have
cost the Lakers the title against the Celtics for the second time in three
years. Even when he's at full strength, we never completely know what we'll
get. It's true that Bynum is just 23 and still improving, but he's been hurt
quite a bit for a player of his age.

另一方面來說，Bynum暴露了他易於受傷的體質及不穩定性。若不是Kendrick Perkins的
受傷。受傷的Bynum可能造成Lakers在三年內兩次將冠軍讓給Celtics。即便他身體狀況
良好，我們卻永遠不知道他的表現如何。當然Bynum是有23歲及持續進步的優勢，但
對他這年齡來說，實在太容易受傷了。


Regardless, I don't see this deal happening. I'm not sure if Raptors GM Bryan
Colangelo wants to invest $14 million a year in a player who is about to have
knee surgery. And I also see Mitch Kupchak being concerned about how Bosh
could fit in the front court with Pau Gasol, when we know that Gasol can play
with Bynum. Additionally, Bosh will probably cost more than the Lakers can
afford. Expect Bynum to get his knee surgery, come slow into the season, and
then Laker fans can just hope his body holds up through the year.

然而，我尚未察覺這項交易的進行。我不確定Raptors的GM Bryan Colangelo是否想花
一千四百萬美元在一個動過膝蓋手術的球員身上。我察覺到Mitch Kupchak對於Bosh在
前場與Pau Gasol的搭配有些憂慮，而我們已經知道Gasol能跟Bynum搭配良好。此外，
Bosh可能會超越Lakers可承擔的範圍。期望Bynum動過手術後，在新球季放慢腳步，
而Laker迷就祈禱他的身體能度過整個球季。


Next, there's some question about what Kobe Bryant will do in the offseason.
It's easy for me to say this, but if I were him, I would get surgeries on
both my knee and my fingers. I'm fairly certain that Bryant will skip the
World Basketball Championships. But if he thinks that surgery will take too
much away from his offseason training, it's possible he won't go through with
it.


接下來，有些問題關於Kobe Bryant在非季賽的動作。如果我是他，我可以很簡單的決
定去動手術，包括雙膝和手指。我猜想Bryant會跳過這次世界籃球賽。但如果他認為
手術會佔去他太多非季練習時間，他有可能不去做。


Finally, expect the Lakers to part ways with DJ Mbenga and Josh Powell.
Neither guy had a significant impact on the team this year, and the Lakers
would be better served by taking flyers on other players. Adam Morrison and
his $5.25 million contract are gone too. Hopefully, he'll shave his mustache.


最後，希望Lakers會放棄DJ Mbenga及Josh Powell。這兩位對今年的隊伍並沒有影響力，
而Lakers可以試圖以更好的條件尋找其他球員，Adam Morrison跟他五百二十五萬的薪資
也可以說再見了。但願他會修掉他的小鬍子。
