標題[外電] 小牛球員留隊的重要性排名 #4: Delonte West
時間Tue May 29 14:29:45 2012
Judging by the pictures Delonte West is tweeting from his home in Maryland of
some delectable-looking feasts -- mostly recently a fresh batch of crabs --
he might be the next contestant one of those food star-chef challenge reality
TV shows.
當我看到Delonte West在馬里蘭州的家中上傳到推特上的照片時，
那些看起來令人食指大動的美食，尤其時最近一張上面有一堆新鮮
的螃蟹的，讓我覺得他可以去參加美食料理的實境節目了。
(他的帳號是CharleeRedz13，真的蠻多美食的!!)
Nah, West is all about hoops and the only regret he said he has about last
season is that the finger he mutilated trying to make a steal in mid-February
and sidelined him for six weeks prevented him from showing the Dallas fans
how complete of a player he really is.
開玩笑的，West會繼續當個籃球員，他對於上個賽季最後悔的就是
在二月中的一次抄球讓他的手指脫臼了，使他必須休養六個禮拜，
沒辦法向達拉斯的球迷展現他全能的球技。
The question now is, was West one-and-done in Big D or is one of the game's
-- not to mention one of Twitter's (@CharleeRedz13) -- more colorful
personalities going to be back? There are plenty of arguments to be made that
suggest West, one of the few productive Mavs this season whose age started
with a 2 and not a 3, is an important piece to keep on the roster. One is his
defensive chops -- although it wasn't so apparent in his brief playoff stint
-- in a backcourt that otherwise lacks punch on that end of things.
問題來了，West會只來小牛過水一年呢，還是會再度把他多采多姿
的個性－如同他在推特上傳的照片一樣－帶回球隊？有越來越多的
輿論認為，做為今年少數為球隊很有貢獻，同時年齡是2字頭不是3
字頭的球員，West是小牛應該留下的重要球員。另外就是他的防守
功力，儘管這在今年短短的季後賽中不那麼明顯，但畢竟小牛的後
場防守人選實在太少了。
The Countdown rolls on at No. 4 ...
DELONTE WEST
Pos.: PG/SG
Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-3, 180
Experience: 8 years
Age:
28 (July 26, 1983)
2011-12 stats:
9.6 ppg, 3.2 apg, 24.1 mpg, 44 G
Contract status:
Unrestricted free agent
2011-12 salary:
$854,389
2012-13 salary: TBD
His story: We know this much: After two seasons of playing on one-year,
veteran-minimum contracts, West is hopeful that he's proven himself valuable
enough on the court and trustworthy enough off it to earn a multi-year deal
somewhere this summer. Much like with Jason Terry, the market price for West
combined with Dallas' own success rate in free agency (i.e. Deron Williams)
will greatly determine what the Mavs can do in terms of signing ancillary
pieces. And say this for West: He instantly ingratiated himself to all the
right people. Mark Cuban, Rick Carlisle, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd all
fell in love with the kid, who came to Dallas after some hard times (an
unfortunate 2009 arrest) and with much to prove because injuries have dogged
him the past few seasons. He showed his value when he was healthy, subbing at
point guard for an injured Kidd, starting at shooting guard and giving Dallas
a tenacious two-way player, something of a combination of J.J. Barea and
DeShawn Stevenson.
在連續領兩年老將底薪打球之後，West希望他已經向大家證明，他
有能力在球場上做出貢獻，並且值得一份複數年合約。就像Jason
Terry一樣，小牛能開給他的價碼能不能符合市場價值，端看於暑
假小牛會不會簽來大咖自由球員，例如Deron Williams，這會牽動
小牛補強其他位置的薪資空間。這裡要為West說句話：他可以馬上
取得大家的歡心，包括Mark Cuban、Rick Carlisle、Dirk Nowitzki
與Jason Kidd，他們都喜歡這個孩子。他在來到小牛之前過的並不
順遂，曾經在2009年被逮捕，前幾季又受到傷勢困擾。他今年健康
的時候展現出價值，補上了控球後衛Kidd受傷的空缺，先發打得分
後衛，他兩個位置都能打，讓小牛的後場更加頑強，有點像是J.J.
Barea與DeShawn Stevenson的綜合體。
His outlook: One can argue that West should be back until their face turns
blue, but if Williams indeed joins the Mavs, then West's return is not
likely. If Williams signs elsewhere, West's odds of being back obviously go
up. And if West gets a good offer quickly, he'll likely jump on it. That's
just the nature of the business under tighter salary cap restrictions. While
West was a solid contributor when on the floor, just staying on the floor has
been a struggle. Various injuries have limited him to no more than 61 games
in a season going back to 2007-08. Teams will certainly take that into
consideration when it comes to longer-term deals, but there does seem to be
agreement that West will find his multi-year deal. There's little doubt the
Mavs would love to keep him for his versatility and tenacity. They just don't
know if they will be able to.
或許有人會喋喋不休的說服你West應該歸隊，但如果蝶龍加入小牛，
那West回來的可能性就微乎其微了。如果蝶龍去了別隊，那West續約
的可能性當然大幅提升，當West收到好的報價時，他應該很快就會點
頭答應了，這就是當商場上的薪資空間有所限制時的自然走向。儘管
West在場上的貢獻穩定，但他能不能穩定上場卻是個問題。各種不同
的傷勢讓他在2007-08球季之後未曾上場超過61場，球隊在與他談長約
時當然會考慮這點，不過大多數人同意他會得到一筆複數年合約。無
庸置疑小牛會想要留下這位多功能又頑強的球員，但他們未必有能力
留下他。
下集待續
(我認為作者的排序是先列可有可無的，再列明年有合約除非交易出去
的，其次就是情感上想留但為了未來可能要犧牲的，最後當然是Dirk，
應該吧XD)
