LOS ANGELES -- We know the Los Angeles Lakers will be raising another banner
to the Staples Center rafters on opening night in October. We just don't know
quite yet who will be on the court rounding out the roster for the 2010-11
season.

我們都知道，在下個賽季，10月開幕戰的那個晚上，
洛杉磯湖人隊將在Staples Center昇起另外一幅全新的錦旗。
只是我們還不知道，哪些球員名字將在2010-11賽季湖人隊的輪替陣容中出現，
為這隻衛冕冠軍上場效力。

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has filled in most of the remaining
canvas with three paint roller-sized strokes -- agreeing to terms with head
coach Phil Jackson; re-signing starting point guard Derek Fisher to a
three-year, $10.5 million deal; and luring backup guard Steve Blake from the
free-agent market with a four-year offer worth $16 million.

湖人總經理Mitch Kupchak，
已經為湖人隊下季的衛冕計劃有了三個重要的動作 —
同意了總教練Phil Jackson的要求，與其簽約；
續約了先發控衛Derek Fisher，合約達3年1050萬；
同時從自由球員市場成功補進Steve Blake使之加入湖人，
並簽下一份4年1600萬的合約。

Now it's time for Kupchak to switch to the fine-bristled brush to color in
the remaining details.

如今對於Kupchak來說，既然大部分湖人隊的框架已經成型，
是時候對湖人隊剩下的空間進行填補了。 

With a coach secured and nine players under contract, the Lakers have four
roster spots to reach the league's minimum of 13 players.

現在湖人已經有教練和9名球員有合約在身，
湖人所需要做的就是在輪替名單上補齊另外的4名球員，
以達到聯盟規定球隊最少13人的下限。 

Two of those spots are believed to be earmarked for the Lakers' two
second-round draft picks, Devin Ebanks of West Virginia and Derrick Caracter
of Texas El Paso. Both players would warrant rookie league-minimum salaries
of $473,604 next season, taking two of the four vacant spots created by the
Lakers' departing free agents, Jordan Farmar, Josh Powell, D.J. Mbenga and
Adam Morrison.

而其中的兩個位置相信已經被指定留給湖人隊的兩名第二輪新秀了，
分別是來自West Virginia的Devin Ebanks和來自Texas El Paso的Derrick Caracter。
這兩名新秀在下賽季都將獲得保障新秀的聯盟最低工資473,604美元，
並且將填補由湖人隊因四名自由球員離隊而空出來的其中兩個位置。
而這四名球員是Jordan Farmar, Josh Powell, D.J. Mbenga 和Adam Morrison.。 

Ebanks averaged 15.0 points on 45.5 percent 3-point shooting during summer
league, drawing favorable comparisons to former Laker Trevor Ariza because of
his length and floor game. Caracter led the Lakers in scoring, averaging 15.4
points on 59.3 percent shooting from the field, to go with 8.6 rebounds and
1.4 blocks a game. ESPN.com analyst David Thorpe likened Caracter to San
Antonio's DeJuan Blair, a second-round steal from last season.

Ebanks在夏季聯賽中場均達15分，三分命中率高達45.5%，
而正是他的長處和在場上的貢獻，
大家都樂於將他和前湖人隊隊員Trevor Ariza進行比較。
Caracter在夏季聯賽裡，得分是全隊最高。他場均達15.4分，
命中率更是高達59.3%，另外還是場均8.6個籃板和 1.4次火鍋。
ESPN.com的分析員David Thorpe將Caracter比作聖安東尼奧的DeJuan Blair，
因為在上賽季Blair同樣也是一名在第二輪選秀的瑰寶。 

Farmar signed with the New Jersey Nets for $16 million over four years, with
a player option after the second season.

Farmar已和紐澤西籃網簽下了一份四年1600萬的合約，
並且在第二個賽季之後擁有球員選項。 

"It's going to be a new experience," Farmar said in a phone interview with
ESPNLosAngeles.com on Friday. "It's going to be different, exciting and I'm
looking forward to it. A lot of good things are going to come from it."

"這將是一次全新的旅程，"
Farmar在週五與ESPNLosAngeles.com的電話訪問中如此說道。
"這將是完全不同的經歷，的確讓人興奮，而且我十分期待。
 也許由於這個決定，好事會源源不斷的發生。"

Farmar, who became a first-time father last week of a baby girl named
Phoenix, said playing for Nets head coach Avery Johnson, a former NBA point
guard, was the deciding factor that led him to choose New Jersey over Indiana
and Portland. The Nets increased their pursuit of Farmar once LeBron James
chose to play for Miami.

Farmar，在上周成為他第一個女孩子Phoenix的父親。
Farmar說，現任籃網的教練Avery Johnson之前是NBA的控衛，
為其效力是他選擇紐澤西而不是印第安那和波特蘭的決定性因素。
當LBJ確定加入邁阿密的時候，籃網就加大了追逐Farmar的動作。 

"[Johnson] was probably the biggest part," Farmar said. "Him explaining how
he played Devin Harris and Jason Terry together in Dallas, he helped Devin
Harris get to this point in his career where he's an All-Star and looked at
as a starter and a legitimate player in this league and he was going to help
me do the same."

"Johnson是使我作出如此決定的最大的因素，" Farmar說道。
"他跟我說了他在達拉斯如何讓Devin Harris和Jason Terry一起打球，
 同時他幫助Devin Harris在他的職業生涯成為全明星，成為球隊的先發球員，
 成為聯盟裡出色的球員。而現在，他將會幫助我做到這些。"

It remains to be seen what good will come from the Lakers' parting ways with
four players who knew the system and pushed the starters in practice and
having four new faces at the end of the bench.

這仍需要觀望，
四名熟知湖人隊體系和先發球員特性的隊員的離開會給湖人帶來哪些影響。
但可以肯定的是，我們將在板凳席上見到四張全新的面孔。

Powell has received interest from several teams, including Chicago, Denver,
Miami and Atlanta, according to league sources.

根據來自聯盟的流言蜚語，Powell受到好幾支球隊的青睞，
包括芝加哥公牛、丹佛金塊、邁阿密熱火和亞特蘭大老鷹。 

Morrison has worked out for several teams in Las Vegas this week, including
Washington, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, San Antonio and the Los Angeles
Clippers.

在拉斯維加斯，一周內Morrison去了好幾支球隊試訓，
包括華盛頓巫師、波士頓塞爾提克、芝加哥公牛、克里夫蘭騎士、
聖安東尼奧馬刺和洛杉磯快艇。 

"It went really well," Morrison's agent, Mark Bartelstein, told
ESPNLosAngeles.com of the workout. "A lot of teams are interested. I think
we'll have something done shortly."

"一切都進行得相當順利，"
Morrison的經紀人Mark Bartelstein跟ESPNLosAngeles.com談起這些試訓說。
"有許多隊伍對Morrison感興趣。我認為近期我們就會有所決定。"

Bartelstein has another client, Shannon Brown, who is currently in
negotiations with the Lakers about returning with a multi-year deal. Brown
opted out of the final year remaining on his contract that would have paid
him $2.15 million next season.

Bartelstein的另一位客戶就是Shannon Brown了，
目前正在和湖人隊協商回歸的有關事項，希望能夠獲得多年的合約。
Brown選擇跳出他的最後一年的合約，
而這最後一年的合約下賽季本來可以帶給他215萬的薪水。 

Brown averaged a career-high 8.1 points and 20.7 minutes last season, and his
production spiked to 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in seven games
filling in as a starter for the injured Kobe Bryant.

在上賽季。Brown場均得分和上場時間都是職業生涯的最高 -
平均8.1分和20.7分鐘的上場時間。
而在Kobe受傷期間的7場比賽中，他作為球隊的先發上陣，數據也獲得攀升：
平均15.3分、4.3個籃板和2.9次助攻。 

He has received some interest from his hometown Chicago Bulls as well as the
Utah Jazz, but the Jazz have fallen somewhat out of the picture after signing
Raja Bell to a three-year, $10 million deal Wednesday. Bell had been
recruited by Kobe Bryant to join the Lakers.

Brown吸引了來自他的家鄉球隊芝加哥公牛以及猶他爵士的興趣，
但是爵士在週三用一份3年1000萬的合約簽下Raja Bell之後，
基本上就退出了角逐Brown的行列。
而Bell曾收到Kobe的喊話，後者希望其加入到湖人隊。 

"We're having extensive talks," Bartelstein said in a phone interview
Thursday. "We're working at it. Mitch [Kupchak] and I are working very hard.
Nothing is done as of yet, but we're working really hard at it. That's
literally the whole story."

"我們之間談論了很多，" Bartelstein在週四的一個電話訪問中說道。
"我們正在努力為此作業。Mitch和我都在為此勞心很多。
 雖然現在看來還沒有什麼具體的決定，但是我們都十分努力的為這件事奔波。
 這就是整件事的來龍去脈。"

Because the Lakers have Brown's "Bird Rights," they can offer him up to a
five-year extension worth a maximum of $5.8 million per year, which is what
the mid-level exception is set at for teams above the salary cap.

因為湖人隊對於Brown而言擁有鳥權("Bird Rights,")，
他們可以提供給Brown一份5年的長約，而每年的薪資最高可達580萬美元。
這也是球隊在薪資上限之外能夠提供的一份特例中產合約。 


If they can't reach a common ground with Brown, the next option available to
the team is to take a hard look at guards Ibrahim Jaaber and D.J. Strawberry,
who showed hopeful signs during summer league. Strawberry averaged 13.0
points and 2.2 assists, Jaaber averaged 5.0 and 4.3 to go along with 1.0
steals per game. There is also a chance the Lakers could extend former
first-round pick Javaris Crittenton a training camp invitation. Crittenton
was considered for the Lakers' summer league team, but a foot injury
prevented him from participating.

若是湖人與經紀人之間無法就Brown的合約達成共識，對於湖人隊而言，
另一個有價值的選擇是密切關注後衛Ibrahim Jaaber和D.J. Strawberry。
這兩名球員在夏季聯賽中都展現了自己的實力，皆是有潛力的球員。
Strawberry場均13分和2.2次助攻，
而Jaaber則是場均5分、4.3次助攻，每場都有1次抄截。
此外，湖人隊還有機會簽下來自訓練營的前湖人首輪新人Javaris Crittenton。
本來Crittenton在湖人隊夏季聯賽的陣容中，可是他的腳傷讓他無法參加此比賽。 

The team also has approximately $1.8 million remaining from its mid-level
exception after signing Blake. With Bell out of the picture, the team could
focus on free agent Matt Barnes, who was with Orlando last season. Another
Bryant nemesis like Bell, Barnes shares a similar skill set of being a tough
on-ball defender and being able to knock down 3-pointers. Barnes wrote on
Twitter on July 9, "B4 LBJ situation went down we've ben n contact w/ the
magic, lakers, mia, dallas, knicks & det. Have to see wat happens."

湖人隊在簽下Blake之後，還剩下180萬左右的中產額度。
在Bell去爵士打球、湖人無望得到Bell之後，
我們應該將更多的注意力集中在前奧蘭多魔術隊的Matt Barnes上面。
就正如Bell防守Kobe一樣，Barnes也擁有強硬的防守技巧去防守持球球員，
同時他也有投三分的能力。巴恩斯在7月9號的Twitter上寫道：
"隨著LBJ的去向塵埃落定之後，
 我們同時接到來自魔術、湖人、熱火、達拉斯等球隊的報價，
 讓我們等著看有什麼會發生吧。"

Kupchak says he has permission from Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss to spend the
full mid-level exception if he is convinced he can get players to help the
team capture a three-peat championship next season. But Kupchak won't just
spend it because he can. If there aren't any attractive veterans who will
play for $1.8 million or if the Lakers spend more than they would like to in
retaining Brown, then the chances of one of the other summer league players
such as Jaaber or Strawberry making the team increases.

Kupchak表示，他得到老闆Dr. Jerry Buss的准許，
假若他相信某一名球員能幫助湖人隊下賽季奪得冠軍而成就三連霸的話，
他將毫不猶豫利用中產簽下這名球員。
但是Kupchak不只是會把錢花掉這麼簡單，因為他還有許多選擇。
假使沒有一些有價值的老將肯為180萬的剩餘中產條約選擇湖人隊，
或是湖人隊為挽留Brown需要付出更多的代價，
那麼對於夏季聯賽中的其他球員來說，
譬如Jaaber或者Strawberry就有機會得到一份合約。

There could be some movement remaining on the Lakers' staff as well.

這時對於湖人隊的其他工作人員來說也是一個關鍵的時刻。 

Lakers assistant general manager Ronnie Lester met with the Phoenix Suns this
week about their vacant general manager position that opened up when Steve
Kerr decided to return to TNT as a broadcaster. Should Lester leave, the
Lakers would likely go outside the organization to fill his position.

在Steve Kerr確定回到TNT去做他的球評之後，
湖人隊的助理總經理Ronnie Lester在這周與太陽隊進行了會面，
去應徵太陽隊空缺的總經理一職。
萬一Lester離開的 話，湖人隊將要公開招聘人員以填補其空缺。 

Lakers special assistant Chuck Person decided to stay with the team and was
promoted to a full-time assistant coach for next season. There was some
interest from Portland's Nate McMillan to have Person join his staff, but
that hire could not be made until the Trail Blazers replaced Kevin Pritchard
with a new GM. According to a source close to the situation, Person did not
want to wait out Portland's hiring process and leave a secure offer from the
Lakers on the table.

而湖人隊的特別助理Chuck Person則決定繼續留在隊中，
並且在下賽季擢升為全職的助理教練。
另一方面，來自波特蘭拓荒者的Nate McMillan表示對Person有興趣，
希望Person能加入到他的工作隊伍當中，但是這一挖角行動並沒成真，
直到拓荒者換了一名新的總經理取代Kevin Pritchard。
據可靠消息稱，Person並未等待來自波特蘭的招聘過程，
而已經向湖人高層提交了關於自己的一份報價。
