標題[外電] Source: Knicks after Elton Brand
時間Tue Jul 2 23:42:07 2013
The New York Knicks are preparing to make an offer to Elton Brand, a league
source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com.
The terms of the offer for the veteran power forward are undisclosed at this
point.The Knicks have been after Brand since the start of free agency. Brand is
arguably the best big man available for post scoring and rebounding, which
the team absolutely needs. Brand is not only a solid rotation player -- he is
fine with coming off the bench -- but insurance, as well, considering Amar'e
Stoudemire's recent injury history.
Several other teams have expressed interest in Brand, according to the
source. Brand is attracted to the Knicks because of their winning culture and
first-class organization. In addition, the team is close to his hometown --
he's from Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., and his mother, Daisy, still lives nearby --
and qualify of life is important to him as he decides on his next team.
Brand, 34, has averaged 17.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in his
14-year career. Last season in Dallas, he averaged 7.2 points, 6.0 rebounds
and 1.3 blocks in 21 minutes per game.
If the Knicks sign Brand, they might not consider re-signing power forward
Kenyon Martin. They also need a point guard and small forward. A league
source told ESPNNewYork.com on Tuesday that "both [point guard] Nate Robinson
and [small forward] Matt Barnes have notified the Knicks of their interest.
They're waiting to see where the Knicks are."
Up next on the Knicks' immediate priority list is re-signing J.R. Smith and
then potentially splitting up their mini mid-level exception of $3.18 million
to sign Pablo Prigioni and Chris Copeland. While Prigioni is likely deciding
between the Knicks and returning to Spain, where he lives in the offseason
and has played professionally for many years, Copeland already has received
several offers from different teams.
尼克準備來挖牆角了
