[外電] Brian Skinner Joins Suns

[whyever (月光節約時間)]

雖然好像不少人已經知道了，
還是大概貼一下消息青菜翻一下。

The Suns have their new big man.
September 25, 2007 - 2:53 am

太陽終於找了他們的新大個兒。

Arizona Republic -
Eight-year veteran Brian Skinner and the Suns agreed to terms Monday on a
one-year veteran's minimum deal, half of which is guaranteed. If Skinner
remains on the team when opening day rosters are set Oct. 29, his $1.1
million salary will be fully guaranteed.

在聯盟打滾八年的老將Brian Skinner在禮拜一跟太陽達成協議，簽下了
一年1.1M的老將約。

Skinner was the best of the big man prospects the Suns considered because he
can offer Phoenix rebounding and defense with enough speed to play at the
Suns' pace.

Skinner是太陽理想中的長人，因為他可以防守、抓籃板，速度也足以跟
上太陽的步調。

Skinner is accepting of the part-time role and had Phoenix atop his wish list
because he wanted to play for a title contender after missing the playoffs
last season, when he had 44 starts for Milwaukee.

他接受這個打工約是因為他想在有機會爭奪冠軍的隊伍打球。上個球季他
在公鹿先發了44場，但是最後卻沒有機會打季後賽。

"This is an opportunity to be on the inside looking out," Skinner said after
his Thursday workout for Phoenix.

「我想加入太陽給了我一個從裡打到外的機會。」Skinner禮拜三這樣說。

Skinner, 6 feet 9 and 265 pounds, has played for six teams in eight NBA
seasons with career averages of 5.1 points and 5.0 rebounds.

皮膚人高6呎9、重265磅，在過去八年NBA生涯中總共為六隊打過球，生涯
每場可以拿下5.1分，抓下5個籃板。

He is limited with his offensive skills and shoots free throws poorly (56.4
career percentage) but does not try to score outside his skill range.

他得分少最主要是因為得分手段有限，而且罰球極差（56.4%），此外他
也很少試著在外線得分。

The Suns are not expected to give any more contracts with any guarantee
because Skinner gives them 13 players, the minimum a team must carry on its
roster. Skinner's salary will count as $770,610 against the salary cap with a
league fund that protects veterans covering the $332,615 for the Suns.

鳳凰城基本上不會在期待簽下其他人了，因為Skinner剛好是太陽第十三
個簽約的傢伙。
