[外電] 太陽的季後計畫

[jeromee ( 迷途小書僮)]

這是一篇當地記者Paul Coro寫的文章，此人可以認為是太陽隊官方的化妝師，狗腿太陽
官方的功力令人讚嘆。（選秀後隔天他與同報社的記者各寫一篇選秀心得，內容南轅北轍
你自己去看就知道）

但是也由於他跟太陽官方關係密切，也一直有在幫太陽隊寫日記專欄，所以他的報導我們
應予以重視。順便一題，他是唯一在選前就完全正確預測太陽的選秀人選的人（當然其他
也錯的離譜）。


以下我只翻重要，大家感興趣的部分，如有錯誤請不吝指教。
此外文中我保留外國鄉民的comments，順便讓大家看看國外的想法為何。


Grant Hill becomes focus


Phoenix's roster moves could end in a hurry if Grant Hill says yes to the Suns.


He will get his first chance today when the Suns make him their free agency
priority with the first allowable phone call at 9 p.m. Sources in each
conference said they believe Phoenix tops Hill's list, which also includes
San Antonio, Detroit, Toronto and Orlando.

Hill是太陽季後補強的首要目標。有消息指出太陽確是Hill想要優先加入的球隊，但
Hill的名單中也有馬刺（不要阿），底特律，多倫多與奧蘭多等球隊。

NBA teams can begin recruiting and negotiating with free agents tonight but can
not sign them until July 11.

Once Suns first-round draft pick Alando Tucker signs his contract and
James Jones' trade to Portland is official, Phoenix will have 10 players under
contract for the upcoming season.

此段確認JJ的交易。



Kurt Thomas exercised his $8.1 million option. With Sean Marks expected to
re-sign with the team, (Swing's Note: WTF?????) a veteran's minimum contract
to Hill would give Phoenix 12 players toward the 13-player minimum.
It likely won't go beyond 13 players with Phoenix facing a $7 million luxury
tax, second only to New York. One spot would remain open for flexibility, and
second-rounder D.J.Strawberry could get it.

Thomas會行使他最後一年的合約選項。而Sean Marks也會被續約。
若Hill將加入成為球隊第12人，而球隊在面臨全聯盟僅次於尼克隊的7百萬豪華稅壓力下
，將不會使隊中球員數超過聯盟規定的下限13人。
最後一個缺將會保留到開季以維持彈性，而預期Strawberry會是此缺人選。

Hill, who was in the Valley recently, said on ESPN radio on June 12 that
Phoenix would be a better fit than San Antonio. He said his priorities were
style of play, title contention and light practices because of his injury
history. Hill, 34, averaged 14.4 points on 52 percent shooting in 65 games
last season in Orlando but missed 265 games in the previous five years.

Hill also would fit Phoenix's priorities as a versatile, high-character veteran
. The Suns can't comment on free agents but General Manager Steve Kerr shared
his approach.

"We'd like to add some experience," Kerr said. "We just added two rookies who
are going to be raw and they're not going to know what's going on out there so
we'd like to balance that out with guys who have been there . . . or I should
say a player that's been there before. I don't know that we're going to sign
more than one player based on our numbers.

Kerr認為球隊需要加入更多有經驗的球員，以使得剛剛加入兩位新秀的太陽隊更均衡發展
。Kerr在現有的球員陣容基礎上僅會於自由球員市場上再簽下一名球員。

"If we get what we're after, then we'll be thrilled."

A veteran's minimum contract for Hill would be $1,219,590, $448,980 of which
comes from a league fund for veterans. Hill is coming off a seven-year, $92
million deal.

Kerr said Phoenix is unlikely to chase free agent big men. (Swing's Note:
Memo to Sarver - No more fucking guards making the calls..... )

Kerr表示太陽不會於自由球員市場去追逐大個球員。



"The way our team is, who Mike (D'Antoni) plays, you can always talk about,
 'Let's go get a big,' " Kerr said. "But a big's probably not going to play.
 If he was going to play, he wouldn't be a free agent or he'd be in the market
 for big dollars. We're looking for versatility." (Swing's Note: Fucking great. Even our
 GM is short sighted (pun intended).....)

我們球隊採用的就是D'Antoni的攻守體系，雖然大家都可以嚷嚷「給我一個禁區大個！」
可是，事實上就是他可能沒有辦法在D'Antoni的系統下發揮功效。
就算他可以在D'Antoni的系統下表現良好，這個球員要嗎不是自由球員，要嗎就要價高昂
令我們為之卻步。我們真正尋找的是多功能性的球員。

We're looking for versatility.這句不確定，不知道是翻成
我們真正尋找的是多功能性的球員。這樣，還是
我們尋找的是讓球隊操作更有靈活性。



Marcus Banks will play on Phoenix's summer league team July 9-15 in Las Vegas.

Banks將會參加夏季聯賽。

"We don't think Marcus is done," Suns Senior Vice President of Basketball Opera
tions David Griffin said. "Marcus has a lot of talent and ability to play both
ends of the court.

Griffin不認為Banks完了，反而樂觀認為未來將會比賽的攻守兩端上展現更多的天分與作
用。
