[外電] 太陽有把錢花在刀口上?

[abcd810112 (大叔)]

Only six other NBA teams committed more new contract money since the summer
began than the Suns, who awarded a potential $104 million in contracts to
Channing Frye, Jared Dudley, Josh Childress and Hakim Warrick.
今年暑假只有六支球隊在季外補強金額比太陽隊多 太陽暑假共簽了104M
(意思是合約的全部金額加起來)

San Antonio, New York, Miami, Dallas, Chicago and Atlanta spent money to
acquire or keep stars and are among the top 12 NBA teams because of it. The
Suns should have buyer's remorse for some of what they did, considering the
roster patchwork has given them their worst record (13-17) to end a calendar
year since the team that finished 29-53 seven seasons ago.

13-17是自七季前(29-53)來最糟的

Frye, who signed a five-year, $30 million deal in July, is slumping but at
least starting and averaging 11 points and six rebounds. Dudley signed a
reasonable extension at the Nov. 1 deadline for $22.5 million over five years
and has provided similar production to last season.

福來跟達利今年都簽延長(分別為30m/5y 22.5m/5y)

Dudley plays ahead of Childress, who signed a larger contract (five years,
$33.5 million) in July but has been out of the rotation as an unnecessary
wing addition.
達利的上場順序還是比爆炸頭高 爆炸頭(33.5m/5y)看起來頗雞肋

Warrick also has teetered on the edge of the rotation, fall short of
expectations after signing a four-year, $18 million contract (with a
fourth-year team option) as the Suns' long-held backup plan if they lost
Amar'e Stoudemire.
Babby's role

瓦哥(18m/5y)也是被擠到板凳末端
The July contracts were given before Suns President of Basketball Operations
Lon Babby came aboard and Managing Partner Robert Sarver was handling free
agency, including the Stoudemire negotiations. Dudley was Babby's first
contract.

總管頭子簽的第一份約據說是達利 其他都是$arver幹的

Frye was an important player for the Suns' offensive system - a big man who
can spread the floor. Some internally debated the merits of signing an
inexpensive shooting big man, such as Brian Cook, and using the rest of the
money on other needs. Instead, the Suns went hard at Frye, going $8 million
beyond what they had expected to spend for the contract after paying Frye a
$2 million salary for last season.
福來對我們來說很重要 但暑假時高層曾討論要找類似的長人取代他
(如 Brian Cook) 但最後還是簽回來了
The market pushed the envelope with Amir Johnson getting a five-year, $34
million deal and Drew Gooden signing for five years and $30 million. Frye had
the leverage of finishing sixth in the NBA in 3-point percentage (43.9) and
fourth in 3-pointers made (172). This season, he is shooting 36.1 percent on
3s - 20.6 percent over the past six games.

這季工作變多後 去年爆走的3p%明顯下降(43.9→36.1) 近六場更是只有兩成
Frye said he felt more pressure last season playing for a contract than he
does now to live up to one.
福來說當初的合約壓力遠大於現在
"At first, I did," Frye said of feeling pressure. "Coach (Alvin Gentry) told
me I can't think like that. No matter what anybody says, I feel like I try to
earn it every single day. I feel like I've been trying to contribute to this
team in any possible way I can to help it win. I love the Suns, this
organization and especially the players. Being able to stay here and take
care of my family is huge.
Work for it
福來受到很沉重的壓力 他覺得應該對球隊做出更多貢獻(你做得很好了!!)
"There is no pressure on me now playing for a contract. They know what I can
do and it's up to me to continue to get better and challenge myself. You find
your inner motivation. You play ball because you love it and want to win."

現在沒有合約年壓力 他覺得要做得更好

Dudley said he feels more relaxed after signing the extension, worrying at
one point about the possibility of a serious injury in his last contract year.

達利說延長合約後心情好多了
"But I think I've worked even harder," said Dudley, who has $1.25 million of
playoff incentives in his deal. "It's the first time I've lifted weights this
extended. I'll have 30 lifts this month, the most lifts in the history of the
Suns.
他變得更加積極了 在1.25m的季後賽獎金推動下 他連重訓都比別人多
"I want to outplay the contract. I want to get another one. There's so much I
can build on. I can still improve my body, my offensive game and defensively
get stronger. This is the perfect system and perfect trainers. The Suns did
well and I got security. I could've done better. But my thing is, 'Does the
risk outweigh the reward?' For me, it didn't."

達利說他要表現的對得起合約 無論進攻還是防守
(他最後一句是指什麼啊= =? 跨謀)
