[外電] Pekovic Waiting for Howard to sign?

[HeavyBlue (T-Wolves)]

The Buzz

Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune reports that nothing will move on the Nikola
Pekovic front "at least" until after Dwight Howard has made his decision.

Marcus R. Fuller of the St. Paul Pioneer Press adds that the Timberwolves
have made re-signing their restricted free agent the "top priority this
offseason."

The Portland Trail Blazers are reportedly interested in Pekovic, per John
Canzano of The Oregonian.

目前的流言看起來，Peko的簽約應該會在草莓獸人生底定後才簽

阿拓似乎仍對Peko有興趣，不過他們剛拿到了R.Lopez...

Buying or Selling?

While Minnesota fans have no choice but to watch Howard's free-agent drama
unfold, a different move this offseason should have piqued the Timberwolves'
interest.

The San Antonio Spurs made the first move on the big-man market, locking up
restricted free agent Tiago Splitter on a four-year, $36 million deal.

Considering Pekovic held sizable advantages over Splitter in both scoring
(16.3 to 10.3) and rebounding (8.8 to 6.4) last season, the Timberwolves
should be scattering couch cushions on the floor searching for every penny
they have to throw at Pekovic.

Love does a lot of things well (scoring, shooting, rebounding), but defense
isn't one of his strong suits. The 6'11", 290-pound Pekovic is the ideal
bruiser to share the floor with Love.

Minnesota knows this and will do everything in its power to keep Pek around.
The contract might end up going higher than the Timberwolves would like, but
they should get a solid return on that investment.

這邊的重點主要是討論Peko的合理價格在哪邊

馬刺剛剛以四年36M簽下了剔牙哥 Splitter

而Peko去年平均得分比他多了6分(16.3) 籃板也多了2.4顆(8.8)

所以想必隨便就是千萬起跳啦...

後面就是說，Peko的身材很適合跟防守劣勢的Love一起在場上(what?)

總之，就算Peko被開了比預期貴的價格，暑假過後應該還是會留在灰狼...
