NBA free agents can start signing Thursday
Final language in collective bargaining agreement being written first

NEW YORK - NBA free agents will be able to sign their new contracts next
Thursday, six days later than originally planned.

NBA自由球員將可以在下星期四(美國時間)簽訂新合約,比原定的日子晚了6天


The league announced the new signing date Friday, on what was supposed to be
the day the logjam was broken on several pending deals.

The six-day delay will allow attorneys for the league and players’ union to
finish drafting a written version of the new six-year collective bargaining
agreement.

Signings will begin at 6 p.m. EDT on July 28.

Teams have been negotiating with free agents for more than three weeks, and
many of the most prominent players have already reached tentative agreements
on new contracts.

Among those still playing the free agent market are Miami guard Damon Jones,
Phoenix guard Joe Johnson, Los Angeles Clippers guard Marko Jaric, Portland
guard Damon Stoudamire, Minnesota’s Mark Madsen and Latrell Sprewell and
Atlanta’s Tyronn Lue.
尚未決定去向的球員

Players who have already agreed to new contracts include Ray Allen and
Michael Redd, staying in Seattle and Milwaukee, respectively, Udonis Haslem,
remaining with Miami, and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who is returning to
Cleveland.
留在原隊的球員

Among players planning to change teams, guard Larry Hughes is moving from
Washington to Cleveland, forward Donyell Marshall from Toronto to the Cavs,
center Jerome James from the SuperSonics to the Knicks, guard Antonio Daniels
from Seattle to Washington, forward Stromile Swift from Memphis to Houston,
swingman Bobby Simmons from the Clippers to the Bucks and guard Keyon Dooling
from Miami to Orlando.
投效別隊的球員

Also, former overall No. 1 draft pick Kwame Brown will be dealt from
Washington to the Los Angeles Lakers in a sign-and-trade deal for Caron
Butler, and Shareef Abdur-Rahim will go from Portland to New Jersey in
another sign-and-trade.
先簽後換

Two of the teams with the most available salary cap space, Atlanta and New
Orleans, have been unable to secure any prized free agents. The Hawks have
reportedly made a $70 million, five-year offer to the Suns’ Johnson, which
Phoenix would have 15 days to match.

Philadelphia’s Samuel Dalembert also has drawn interest from Atlanta, but he
is a restricted free agent and the Sixers have said they will match any offer
he receives.

Maccabi Tel Aviv point guard Sarunas Jasekevicius, the former Euroleague MVP,
has reportedly narrowed his choices to Utah, Indiana and Cleveland.

Under one provision of the new collective bargaining agreement, teams will
have a one-time chance ending in October to waive a player under contract and
be relieved of any luxury tax liability for that player. Waiving Michael
Finley could save Dallas at least $51 million in luxury tax payments, and the
Mavs would be barred from re-signing him until his contract expires after the
2007-08 season.

The New York Knicks are considering using the so-called “amnesty clause” to
rid themselves of injury-plagued guard Allan Houston, who is due to earn
about $40 million — which would be subject to the dollar-for-dollar luxury
tax — over the next two seasons, and there has been speculation that the
Lakers might do the same with Brian Grant, who is owed nearly $30 million
over the next two seasons.

尼克可能會使出"大赦條款"對因傷所苦的後衛Allan Houston
而湖人可能會對Brian Grant作同樣的事
