 Hornets, Pistons win in Chris Paul trade

Joe Dumars should go after New Orleans point guard Chris Paul.
Joe應該把CP3搞來

It's not as outrageous as you might think.
你說我瞎掰啊？我還說你是落翅仔裝在室呢！   (昨天我的菲律賓女傭經過市場...)

New Orleans remains in worse economic shape than Detroit.
The Hornets announced recently that they'll tap into the
$175-million line of credit the NBA established to assist
teams through these turbulent fiscal waters.
紐澳良的經濟狀況比底特律還糟。
近期黃蜂才剛宣佈他們將使用聯盟建立信用額度175M美元來幫助
球隊度過這次的財政危機。

Overall league revenues are falling and the salary cap might
drop to the neighborhood of $57 million come July 1. The
Hornets are currently $20 million over that figure for next
season, according to Hoopshype.com, pushing them beyond the
luxury tax threshold unless they pare significant payroll
while receiving minimal in return.
今年整個聯盟的獲利是縮水的，薪資上限有可能在7/1調降到57M。
從Hoopshype的資料顯示，黃蜂若未做出任何改變。
下個球季起碼會超過這個薪資上限20M(09-10 $76,475,998)。
這將使得他們得被課豪華稅，除非他們對薪資結構做出改變。

Paul is the game's best point guard. He has a four-year,
$63.6-million contract extension kicking in next season that
the Hornets cannot afford unless they part with most of his
high-priced supporting cast -- center Tyson Chandler,
perimeter bomber Peja Stojakovic, power forward David West
and valuable sixth man James Posey.
CP3是聯盟中頂尖的PG之一。他的合約還長達四個球季，共計63.6M。
黃蜂若沒有處理掉Chandler、Peja、West以及Posey
可能很難吃下CP3的合約。

But should they part with some of those players for the sake
of keeping Paul long-term, then there's no support for a
legitimate championship run and the Hornets are dead in the
nest.
但這些傢伙如果都送走了只剩下CP3，長期而言黃蜂仍難具備衝擊總冠軍的實力。

The Pistons stand in perfect position this summer, with nearly
$20 million of salary-cap space, for inheriting another team's
contractual millstone through a trade.
活塞今年暑假可是準備的相當充裕
有接近20M的薪資空間可以透過交易挖角其他球隊的中流砥柱

It's understandably a longshot for Paul, but why not shoot for
the ultimate?
長久而言當然希望能繼續持有CP3，但這麼做極限能走到哪?

New Orleans was in trouble before Hurricane Katrina blasted
it four years ago. Corporate funding remains the life blood of
professional sports because it helps keep those stadium and
arena luxury suites filled at premium rates. New Orleans was
home to only one Fortune 500 corporation before the levees
collapsed.
四年前紐澳良才被Katrina肆虐過。
是企業的金援才使得職業運動可以持續下去，並保有球場與體育館。
即便是在金融危機爆發前，500大企業中也只有一間是以紐澳良為根據地。

Detroit was home to 15 Fortune 500 corporations in 2005, more
than two-thirds directly connected to the domestic automobile
industry, explaining why Detroit is currently one of only two
cities with four professional teams in four separate facilities.
在2005年，500大企業中可是有15間以底特律為根據地
其中有三分之二是汽車產業中具主宰力的企業
這也是為什麼底特律是全美唯一兩個城市 ---
由四個企業分別擁有四支職業球隊的城市之一的原因。

The Hornets' embarrassing five-game exit from the first round of
the playoffs, including an unheard-of 58-point home loss in
Game 4, only accentuated the panic within the franchise. They
aren't as close to reaching the NBA elite as they thought a year
ago, and they're looking at as radical a personnel transformation
as the Pistons because the Hornets must cut costs.
黃蜂季後賽首輪只打了五場比賽就被淘汰，當中還有一場在主場被狂電58分
這似乎也讓高層產生了些恐慌
他們不像一年前那樣，被認為是聯盟中新出頭的頂尖球隊
他們希望能像活塞這樣，尋求新的改變並且節省銀彈

Paul and New Orleans might provide Detroit with a basketball bailout.
或許黃蜂與CP3可以成為底特律籃球的紓困方式之一  XD
