: 槍蜥將在自由球員市場測試他的身價
: June 26, 2007
: BY KRISTA JAHNKE
: Surprising no one, Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups officially opted out
: of the final year of his contract Monday, giving him unrestricted free agent
: status starting Sunday.
Billups 星期一選擇跳脫最後一年的合約，他變成未受限自由球員，沒有嚇到任何人。
: Billups, a two-time All-Star and former NBA Finals MVP, ranks at the top of
: the free agent class and made it known he intended to test his value this
: summer. Billups, 30, had until Saturday to file his free agency papers, and
: by getting it done Monday, it tempers the drama.
這兩屆全明星和季後賽mvp，是列在自由球員的最高級，而且他想在今夏測試他的價值。
星期一他做了這些事。
: "This is no surprise to anyone," agent Andy Miller said. "We felt that it
: would be in everyone's best interest to have everything out in front and
: open, to leave more time to prepare for Chauncey's future. His perspective
: has not changed. He'd like to give Detroit every opportunity to re-sign him
: and to make a long-term commitment to winning another championship -- or two
: or three."
他的經紀人AndyMiller說這並不令人吃驚。
Billups尚未改變他的想法。他要給底特律機會去再次簽下他而也必須有長期承諾去
贏另一個冠軍或另兩個另三個。
: Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars has made re-signing
: Billups his top priority of the summer. And Billups has said repeatedly that
: his first choice is to stay with the Pistons.
Dumars將簽下Billups視為今夏最重要的一件事。Billups已經說過他的第一選擇就是
留在底特律
: "But obviously," Miller said, "as his agent, I have to recommend to him at
: some point in the process if things are not moving along as well as I would
: like or am comfortable with, we'll have to look at other scenarios."
: Miller also represents forward Antonio McDyess, who can opt out of the final
: year of his contract. Miller said McDyess had not yet decided which way to
: go. If he decides to stay, the two sides can begin negotiating a contract
: extension on July 1.
經紀人miller說：「明顯的，身為他的經紀人，我必須建議他，如果在某些觀點上，進
行的不如我的預期，或令我不舒服，我們就要看看其他選擇。」
miller也說McDyess也可能跳脫他最後一年的合約。如果McDyess決定留下來，兩方面可
能在七月一日就達成延長合約。
: What happens with McDyess will likely be influenced by the direction Billups
: takes. Not only do they share an agent, but the two are good friends, and
: McDyess longs to win a championship.
McDyess的決定如何，可能會被Billups的方向所影響。不只是他們有同一個經紀人，而且
他們是好朋友，McDyess想要贏得一個冠軍。
: If Billups departs, McDyess could decide the championship window has closed
: in Detroit for good and look elsewhere.
: "From our perspective, we have to have a feel for the direction of where the
: organization is going and the things that are important to Antonio," Miller
: said.
如果Billups離開，McDyess會認為底特律總冠軍的窗戶已經被關起來了，然後去其他地方
: Only teams with salary cap space can make a run at free agents like Billups,
: but under collective bargaining rules, the Pistons can offer him the biggest
: contract. He would have made $6.8 million in his final season.
只有有薪資空間的球隊能簽下billups，但在規則下，活塞可以提供他最大的合約。
他在活塞的最後一年領的是680萬。
: At the moment, forward Rasheed Wallace will be the highest-paid Piston next
: season at $12.5 million.
Rasheed在下季是活塞最高薪的1250萬
: His list of potential suitors includes the Milwaukee Bucks, the Orlando Magic
: and the Memphis Grizzlies. But the Bucks have their own free agent point
: guard in Maurice Williams, and he would come at a cheaper sticker price. The
: Grizzlies reportedly might target Williams as well, and they also hold the
: No. 4 draft pick, when highly touted point guard Mike Conley Jr. should still
: be available. The Magic is thought to be interested in Seattle free agent
: forward Rashard Lewis.
billups的可能去處包括公鹿，魔術和灰熊。但公鹿有他們的自由球員控衛 Maurice
Williams 他比較便宜。而灰熊傳出來也會將目標放在Maurice上，而他們也有第四順位選
秀，Mike Conley Jr也可能被選中。魔術則對Rashard Lewis較有興趣。

: Pistons try to keep Billups
活塞試著留下Billups
: As guard becomes free agent, business and civic leaders are teaming up to get
: him to stay in Detroit.
: Terry Foster / The Detroit News
: Piper Billups' ears perked up when the chatter at the nail salon turned to
: her husband, Pistons player Chauncey Billups.
: One woman announced Billups was leaving Detroit to sign with Milwaukee.
: Another brought up Los Angeles and Memphis, which piqued Piper Billups'
: interest.
: "Hmmm, I never heard that," Piper Billups laughed, while recounting the
: scene. "I was sitting up there thinking, 'Did you hear it from me? I am not
: moving to Memphis."（老婆大人不要搬去Memphis哦！）
這段主要是說billups的老婆Piper Billups說他沒有要搬去曼菲斯。
: Billups' future in Detroit is open for speculation after, as expected, he
: opted out of the final year of his contract Monday to test the free-agent
: market.
: Trying to convince Billups his best option is Detroit are a number of
: business and civic leaders such as Robert Porcher, Detroit Mayor Kwame
: Kilpatrick, Dave Bing and even the man who'll be negotiating his contract,
: Pistons president Joe Dumars.
: They are, Billups said, encouraging the basketball star to put down roots,
: seize business opportunities and become a leader in the community.
一堆人試著讓billups相信留在底特律是最好的選擇。
: Long-range plans
: As Piper Billups told her story recently, Billups was a few feet away
: chipping golf balls in the family backyard.
: He was working on his game because he plans to hit a few as the celebrity
: host of the Children's Center annual Celebrity Golf Classic on July 30 at the
: Birmingham Country Club.
Billups正在練習高爾夫，因為他要在七月三十日在底特律的參加Birmingham的兒童中心的
名流xx高爾夫俱樂部。
: That's right: July 30, nearly a month after Billups becomes a free agent.
: Meaning: Billups is planning to stay in Detroit. Of course, that might not
: happen if he gets a richer offer elsewhere, or the Pistons use him in a
: sign-and-trade deal with another club.
沒錯，七月三十，在billups成為自由球員後的一個月。這意味著：Billups計畫留在底
特律。當然，這可能不會發生，因為他得到了一個更好的合約，或活塞把他先簽後換
: "This game (basketball) means a lot to me, but it is not everything," Billups
: said. "I talk to (leaders) and have lunch with them. I want to be successful
: the rest of my life. There are a lot of people around here showing me the
: right things to do and the right ways to do things."
billups說：「籃球對我來說很重要，但並不是我的全部，我和高層的人吃過午餐，我必
須讓我的剩餘的人生成功，這裡有一大堆人告訴我正確的事情和正確的方法
: Detroit fans heard similar words from Grant Hill, Allan Houston and Ben
: Wallace just before they bolted.
底特律的粉絲曾經聽過Grant Hill, Allan Houston and Ben Wallace在他們離開前
說過相同的話
: But Billups said he is aggressively working behind the scenes to join a
: number of current and former Detroit athletes investing in the city.
: "They are in my ear all the time," he said.
: One is Porcher, the former Lions player who has fashioned a career as an
: entrepreneur since retiring from the NFL in 2004. Porcher said he'd love to
: work with Billups or at least help him make the right connections.
: "I think the No. 1 thing is Chauncey has established himself as a leader,"
: Porcher said. "And he conducts himself well off the court. He is just a good
: guy. The times I've interacted with him he has been a good-spirited guy.
: "He also understands the fabric and makeup of Detroit and Michigan, what
: people are all about. He just fits in. And now he is starting to do some
: things off the court."
billups說他 和一些現在和以前的底特律運動員在投資這個城市?
其中一個是NFL的porcher，然後porcher誇獎billups在場下的事情做的很好
: It's become home
: Billups and his wife are heavily involved in the Children's Center golf
: tournament. Billups plans to ride a cart and meet every foursome and, yes, do
: a little chipping and putting. Piper Billups will host a hip-hop tea party
: during the event.
BILLUP和他老婆參與兒童中心高爾夫聯賽
: "It is extremely important for him to be here," said Debora Matthews, CEO of
: the Children's Center. "My prayer is that he loves Detroit enough to hang
: around. We want to keep him here. He is a great man and role model. I am
: really hoping he makes the decision to hang with us."
兒童中心的總裁也跳出來說希望billups留下來
: Piper Billups said the family -- daughters Cydney, 9, Ciara, 6, and Cenaiya,
: who was born a few weeks ago -- has grown comfortable in Detroit, which
: allows them to get involved.
老婆大人說9歲6歲和數週大的三個女兒在底特律活的很舒服
: Piper Billups admitted that during their first years in Detroit she flew to
: the Billups' hometown of Denver every time the Pistons were out of town, and
: "I've got the frequent flier miles to prove it."
: But she said her trips have become less frequent.
老婆大人說以前常飛回billups的故鄉丹佛，但現在愈來愈少了
: "We've actually made this home," Piper Billups said. "We've moved around so
: much, this is actually the longest we've been in one spot.
老婆大人說他們已經將底特律當成家了
: "When I first got here I did not like it. I just think it was moving to a new
: place again. We go downtown a lot and we really like it. It is not what a lot
: of people say it is. I can't say anything bad about Detroit or Michigan and
: where we live.
老婆大人說他剛到底特律時並不喜歡這裡，但現在這裡實在太棒了
: "I hope we stay. We want to stay. This is our home. Our kids love it and this
: is all they know and all of their friends are here."
老婆大人說他們想留在這裡
: Porcher is not surprised the Billups family loves Detroit.
: "This place grows on you," said Porcher, a South Carolina native. "It is a
: great city."
: It definitely has grown on Billups.
porcher跑來插一腳說billups家庭喜歡這裡他並不驚訝
: "I'm not just saying this to just be saying it or because I believe this is
: what you want to hear; I am sincere," Billups said. "I love it here. I don't
: just stay up here (Oakland County). I go to a lot of different places and
: hear what people have to say and I get a feel for them. I know they
: appreciate what I do and how I carry myself. They look at you and how you
: carry yourself and I respect that.
billups說他並不是因為你喜歡聽這些才說這些話的。他喜歡這裡。
: "I really like it here. I really do, and I want to stay."
「我真的喜歡這裡，真的，我想要留下來。」

: Pistons say no to draft projects
: With the 15th pick, Dumars wants player who can step in and contribute
: immediately.
: Chris McCosky / The Detroit News
: AUBURN HILLS -- Pistons president Joe Dumars has made his feelings clear
: about the importance of this draft.
: With the 15th pick Thursday, Dumars is looking to get a player who can step
: in and contribute -- next season.
Dumars說，他正在用15順位找一個下一季就可以有貢獻的球員。
: "Like Joe has said over and over, we need to add youth and energy to our
: team," said John Hammond, vice president of basketball. "It can be at any
: position, on the perimeter or in the frontcourt. We are looking to get a
: player that will be capable of getting on the floor immediately. We are not
: looking at a project-type player with the 15th pick."
副總johnHammond說我們必須替球隊注入年輕與活力，所以可以是任何位置，中距離或前
場，我們並不是要用15順位找計劃性的球員
: There are a couple of reasons why this draft is so critical for the Pistons.
: One, the average age of the team's core group is 30. Two, the Pistons have
: drafted two immediate impact players -- Mehmet Okur and Tayshaun Prince -- in
: the last 10 years.
有很多理由顯示這個選秀很重要。第一，球隊平均年紀30歲。第二，活塞過去十年中選了
兩個立即性球員Mehmet Okur and Tayshaun Prince
: "We are sitting in a good position," Dumars said via e-mail Monday. "We are
: looking to really upgrade our team through this draft, with youth,
: athleticism, energy, depth and toughness."
dumar說他們有好的順位，他想要用這籤確實的升級球隊
: The Pistons have two picks in the first round -- 15 and 27 -- as well as the
: 57th pick. Dumars said he wasn't zeroed in on any particular positional need.
: Typically, if the Pistons drafted a perimeter player at 15, they would most
: likely go for a front-court player at 27. This year, with the talent pool so
: deep, the Pistons likely would take the best available player at both spots,
: regardless of position.
第一輪有兩個籤15和27，第二輪有57，dumars並沒有針對特殊位置。如果他15順位選了
中距離球員，那27就會選前鋒球員。今年是選秀大年，活塞會選兩個最好的球員。
: And, if history holds, the Pistons will use the 57th pick to draft a European
: project, somebody they can hold the rights to without giving up a roster spot.
: Dumars said 35 players will have worked out for the Pistons by Wednesday.
歷史告訴我們活塞會用57去選歐洲球員。到週三前會有35個球員來測試。
: Though no player has been asked to return for a second look, three players
: have stood out as prime candidates for the 15th spot.
沒有球員被要求再回來測試一次，但15順位有三個球員被受注目
: Rodney Stuckey, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Eastern Washington, might have
: had the best workout from an offensive standpoint.
Rodney Stuckey 六呎五吋sg，進攻很好
: He shot well from the perimeter and showed NBA strength and quickness at both
: ends of the floor.
有nba等級的力量與速度，投籃也不錯
: Stuckey was one of 15 players selected by the league to attend the draft in
: New York, an indication he might be selected before the Pistons pick. There
: have been reports Sacramento (10) and the Los Angeles Clippers (14) are
: interested in Stuckey.
但Rodney Stuckey可能會在選他之前被截走。第十的國王，第十四的快艇對他有興趣。
: The Pistons were also wowed by Nick Young, the 6-6, 200-pound swingman from
: Southern California. He has a great midrange game and deceptive explosiveness
: off the dribble.
活塞對Nick Young的感覺就是哇！六呎六吋200磅搖擺人中距離，假動作運球很強。
: The question about Young is his demeanor. He is a laid-back California kid,
: much in the mold of Tayshaun Prince. If the Pistons are looking for energy
: and exuberance, Young might not fit the bill.
: （像小王子的個性不好啊 XDDDD）
Nick Young的問題是他的舉止。他是懶散的加州小孩，很像Tayshaun Prince。如果活塞要找
的是活力，Young並不適合。
: Thaddeus Young, a 19-year-old, 6-8 forward from Georgia Tech, did not have a
: great workout for the Pistons, but he is intriguing nevertheless. He is a raw
: but gifted athlete.
Thaddeus Young，19歲六呎八吋的前鋒，在活塞的測試不太好，但這可能是陰謀(?)。
他是個有天份的未完成品。
: He was inconsistent in his one season at Georgia Tech and his workouts have
: been just as erratic. But his upside is high enough that he probably won't
: fall much lower than 20.
他在大學一年的表現有起伏，他的測試不穩定，但他大概不會掉超過20順位。
: The Pistons aren't looking to take on a project at No. 15, but if things fall
: badly for them early in the draft, he wouldn't be a bad fallback option.
活塞並不打算用15順位找計畫性的球員，但如果選秀時事情變糟，Thaddeus Young並不
是太差的選擇。
: The Pistons also liked what they saw of Jason Smith (7-0 power forward from
: Colorado State), Morris Almond (6-6 Richard Hamilton clone from Rice), Marco
: Belinelli (6-5 swingman from Italy) and Javaris Crittenton (6-5 point guard
: from Georgia Tech).
活塞也有觀察Jason Smith七呎大前鋒，Morris Almond六呎六吋的Richard Hamilton，
Marco Belinelli六呎五吋的義大利搖擺人和 Javaris Crittenton六呎五吋的控衛
: They will take a look at Al Thornton, a 6-8, 220-pound small forward from
: Florida State, today. He has been projected to go as high as No. 12 to
: Philadelphia.
今天他們也會看Al Thornton六呎八吋220磅的小前鋒，他可能會被12順位的費城選去
: "We are looking for talent and for a sense of urgency," Dumars said.
: "We don't want guys who are underachievers. We don't want guys who have been
: coddled. We want guys with an edge, guys who have something to prove. That's
: what we're looking for (on Thursday)."
Dumars說我們在尋找天份和立即性兼具的球員，但我們不想要學習力差的球員, 不想要
半生不熟的球員。我們要可以變鋒利的球員，立刻想証明自己的球員。
: （有人要大概翻一下重點可以推文哦 感謝了！）
大概翻了一些.....
