[外電] Dallas Mavericks need to make a play for playmaker

 The Mavericks know more about the Mavericks than the rest of us do. That's
just a fact.

小牛隊比我們所有人都還了解小牛隊。


If you think the Mavericks need another scorer, they already know it.

如果你覺小牛需要再添加一名得分手，他們老早知道了。

If your instincts say they need a better post presence, they've already
reached that conclusion.

如果你的直覺告訴你他們需要更好的要位單打者出場，他們老早就得到那個結論了。


And what you may not realize, but what they already have dissected and come
to grips with, is the player they need to replace most this summer.


而且你可能沒注意到，但他們老早注意到了，今夏一位他們最需要取代的球員。


Yes, the man who played a grand total of 10 games this season proved to the
Mavericks that they need what he used to offer on a nightly basis. It's
seeking that kind of player – not necessarily that position, but that sort
of production and attitude – that the Mavericks view as a key quest for the
off-season.


是的，那位就是這季打了10場比賽，然後證明小牛需要他過去曾有過的貢獻。小牛需要
尋找這種球員，不一定需要是同樣的位置，但需要類似的績效以及態度，小牛認為是非
球季間最重要的一個任務。


Coach Rick Carlisle, when asked if the Mavericks need another scorer from
either the perimeter or the post, said it best.

當教練被問到是否需要再加一位得分者時他說:


"The guy you're talking about is someone to replace what Stack gave us for
four or five years – a guy who came off the bench and was going to guarantee
double-figure scoring," Carlisle said.

你說的人是一位能像Stack過去四五年一樣的，一個能從板凳出發然後可以得1x分的。


"He was going to draw double teams and help create shots, and he brought a
tough-minded physical presence to both the floor and the locker room. So
yeah, there is a void to fill. And the void is Stack."

他會吸引包夾，然後幫忙製造進攻空間，而且他帶來一個強悍且有對抗性的比賽，不論是
在場上或是在更衣室。小牛需要填一個位置，填的位置就是Stack之前的角色。


The Mavericks owe Stackhouse plenty. But he'll probably be playing elsewhere
next season.


小牛欠Stack很多，但他下一季可能會在另一個球隊了。


In his place, they need a playmaker. The Mavericks don't necessarily need
another star. Think single or double, not home run. If they get another
scorer, it makes sense to keep Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and
Josh Howard.


小牛需要一個playmaker，小牛不一定需要是球星。想一壘、二壘，但不是全壘打。
如果他們添了一位得分手，保留Kidd Dirk Jet和Josh就是相當合理的。


And it doesn't have to be any particular position that the Mavericks upgrade.
They feel they just need one more key player.

而且不需要是某特定位置，他們覺得他們需要的是一個key player。


"A shooter, a scorer," Terry said. "A tough, hard-nosed defender and a big
man that's going to foul somebody and be an enforcer. We got to get an
enforcer."


一個射手，一個得分手，Jet說。一個強悍的防守者，一個可以犯規的大個。

Hey, there's nothing that says a big man can't be the missing piece, even
though it's never happened in Mavericks history.


嘿，這不是說小牛不缺大個，即使是在小牛隊史中，從沒有過好的。

So here, in no particular order, are the avenues the Mavericks have to chase
such a player and some possible candidates to fill that role.


所以，沒特定排序，以下是可能性。


‧   Free agency: Can you see Birdman as a Maverick?

The top names are going to be Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Ben Gordon, Shawn
Marion, Allen Iverson, Andre Miller and Rasheed Wallace.

Of those, the Mavericks can neither afford any of them, nor do they really
need any of them with the possible exception of Wallace.

The better values will come from the second tier: Trevor Ariza, Grant Hill,
Eddie House, Anderson Varejao and, yes, Chris "Birdman" Andersen.

Hey, if you can't beat the Nuggets, give them the chance to join you.

The Mavericks have their mid-level exception to use on free agents. That will
top out at about $5 million.

There are some other names of interest, like Hedo Turkoglu, Rodney Carney and
Anthony Carter.

As for restricted free agents, the big fish are New York's David Lee, Utah's
Paul Millsap and Charlotte's Raymond Felton. But prying them away would
probably require something like this:

‧   Sign and trade: These are tough to pull off. But teams worried about
losing players for nothing often will try to deal them for pennies on the
dollar.

This also is an option for the Mavericks as well. If Jason Kidd wants to go
somewhere else besides Dallas, the only way he can get anything close to fair
value is for the Mavericks to sign him, then trade him.

Of course, that would leave only Antoine Wright to show for the Devin Harris
trade.

"The Devin trade is eons ago," owner Mark Cuban said. "It won't influence
anything. We have the option of going for cap room for next year, which is
where we wanted to be."

That would probably preclude any sign-and-trade options for large contracts
going forward. At the least, sign-and-trades are difficult because player and
agent have to agree to the contract, and the teams involved have to agree to
the swap.

‧   The draft: The Mavericks have the 22nd overall pick. That's not
generally considered a huge asset. But remember, Josh Howard came to them
with the 29th overall pick. And as Carlisle said, it's better than not having
a pick. Draft workouts begin Tuesday.

‧   Trades. The Mavericks are never opposed to a trade. They still have
their eye on the fertile 2010 free-agent class. But if something comes up
that knocks their socks off this summer, rest assured they will jump.

"With our history, anything is possible," president of basketball operations
Donnie Nelson said. "We are really well positioned for 2010 and we can be
players in that market. At the same time, if the right opportunity comes up
and we can make a significant upgrade in an area or two, we're not afraid to
pull the trigger."
