Draft lottery impactful for Mavs, Deron Williams
籃網的樂透籤運很有可能牽動Deron Williams的去向
The Dallas Mavericks came as close as they have in a dozen years to not
making the playoffs, the prize of which would have been a seat at Wednesday's
NBA Draft Lottery, which moves from its longtime home of New Jersey to to the
Disney/ABC Times Square studio.
Moving from Jersey to New York? The Brooklyn-bound Nets certainly hope that's
a bit of good luck. The Mavericks hope it is not.
The Mavs won't be counting their lucky ping-pong balls Wednesday, but they
will have keen interest in the 25 percent odds the Nets, with the league's
sixth worst record, have of acquiring one of the top three picks. How the
ping-pong balls bounce could have a direct impact on the Nets or Mavs
securing the services of free-agent-to-be point guard Deron Williams.
The Nets traded their first-round draft pick during the season to the
Portland Trail Blazers for veteran forward Gerald Wallace. However, they
"top-three protected" the pick, meaning if the Nets defy the odds and the
ping-pong ball gods grant them the first or second or third pick in the June
28 draft, then they keep the pick.
Some believe that if that happens, the pick will serve as the cherry to
complete a trade with the Orlando Magic for dominant center Dwight Howard.
And if the Nets were to land the three-time Defensive Player of the Year,
they would feel exceedingly giddy about their chances of re-signing both
Howard and Williams for the long haul.
Dallas, of course, dismantled its 2011 title team with an eye toward the
future under the new collective bargaining agreement. For the first time in
owner Mark Cuban's tenure, the Mavs have cap space to chase high-dollar free
agents and totally remake the team. Then Chris Paul was traded from the New
Orleans Hornets to the Los Angeles Clippers prior to the season, he agreed to
stay in L.A. for a minimum of two seasons and thus removed himself from this
summer's once-ballyhooed free-agent class.
Howard wavered on his free-agent status throughout the season before finally
flip-flopping one last time and agreeing to exercise his player option with
the Magic for next season. He has yet to commit long-term to the club that
could finally be fed up with his non-commitment and could be ready to trade
him sooner rather than risk another hair-pulling, drama-filled season.
So the Mavs' front office will be rooting hard for the ping-pong balls to go
against the Nets so that the Blazers will be the rightful owner of the Nets'
first-round pick.
If Orlando remains dead set on trading Howard, a best-case for the Mavs would
be for him to land anywhere but Brooklyn. That could dash Williams' hopes of
a tag-team in the borough and perhaps make a homecoming for the Dallas-area
native and a partnership with Dirk Nowitzki more appealing.

大意是說籃網雖然被第一輪籤交易給拓荒者換來Gerald Wallace
不過這枚籤是前三保護 也就是說籃網如果抽中前三順位就可以保留
而本季聯盟排倒數第六的籃網有25%的機率中前三順位
如果籃網真的抽中了 這將會是交易Dwight Howard的絕佳籌碼
要是DH來籃網 他們就有更高的可能吸引DW留下
小牛在Cuban時代幾乎沒有關心過選秀抽籤的事情
不過在小牛拆掉冠軍隊放眼未來之後 CP3加入快艇並承諾留兩年以上
DH也在風風雨雨之後留隊一年 卻又讓高層不滿傳出交易
但要交易的話小牛是沒有籌碼的
因此 明天早上7點的選秀抽籤 大家可以關注一下
