: Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor softened his stance on the possibility of
: acquiring Philadelphia 76ers all-star Allen Iverson on Saturday, saying it
: could be something to consider.
  在星期六，灰狼隊的持有者Taylor軟化了他之前對於七六人的明星"Allen Iverson"
  需求可能性的態度，並且說明這是可以被考慮的。

: Speculation is swirling that Iverson could be traded to the Wolves, who have
: missed the playoffs the past two seasons and are off to a 9-9 start this
: season.
  猜測著Iverson－這個已經連續兩季沒進到季後賽的球員，可能被交易到一個擁有9-9開
  記的灰狼隊。

: Iverson, a four-time NBA scoring leader, is one of the league's most exciting
: players. He is averaging 31.2 points a game and could take some of the load
: off Wolves all-star Kevin Garnett, who on Saturday reiterated his desire to
: play with Iverson in the wake of Friday's news that the 76ers guard had asked
: to be traded.
  Iverson曾經拿過四次的NBA得分王，是聯盟內其中一個最扣人心弦的球員。他目前平均
  每場比賽能得31.2分，而且可以幫灰狼隊的明星"Kevin Garnett"分擔一些負擔，他在星
  期六那天重申了在星期五七六人的後衛要求被交易的新聞中，要和Iverson一起打球的欲
  望。

: After Saturday's win against Chicago improved the Wolves to 10-9, Garnett
: said Iverson is "an unbelievable talent" who would fit in right away.
  在星期六對芝加哥的比賽勝利以後，使得灰狼隊的戰績提升到了十勝九負，Garnett說
  Iverson"擁有一種難以置信的天份"，可以適合他們的球隊(這邊翻的怪怪的@@")

: On Friday, Taylor said there would be no trade because pairing Iverson's big
: salary with Garnett's would be prohibitive, but on Saturday he eased off his
: initial reaction.
  在星期五，Taylor說將Iverson跟Garnett放在同一隊中，薪資過高是被禁止的，所以不
  會有交易，但在星期六，Taylor軟化了他的最初反應。

: "I just think Allen Iverson on any team probably makes it better just because
: at any time, he's hard to stop," Taylor said. "You get towards the end of the
: game, he's a difficult player to stop. If you had some other guys around him
: and a guy like K.G. around him, it gives you some strong options at the end.
: He's a very unique player. A guy like him, (Phoenix's Steve) Nash, maybe (New
: Jersey's Jason) Kidd, these guys are very creative and probably would be
: helpful to almost any team with any combination around them."
  "我認為Allen Iverson在任何隊大概都讓他它更好，因為在任何時候， 他是難以停止，
  "泰勒說。 "越接近比賽的末端，他越是一個難以停止的球員。 如果你有個像KG一樣的
  球員在他身邊，那在球賽的最後，你將有更多更好的選擇。他是個非常獨特的球員。
  有個像他的人(例如說鳳凰城的Steve Nash或紐澤西的Jason Kidd)，這些人是非常有創
  造性的，而對於任何球隊的任何組合幾乎都是非常有幫助的。

: But Taylor emphasized economics remain an issue. Iverson is one of the
: highest-paid players in the NBA, and Garnett is the highest-paid player in
: the league.
  但Taylor強調了薪資還是個問題，Iverson是聯盟中高薪資球員當中的一個，而Garnett
  也是一個聯盟中高薪資球員的其中一個。

: Taylor is cost-conscious. The Wolves' payroll is about $1 million over the
: NBA's luxury tax threshold of $65.42 million, and exceeding the limit
: requires a dollar-for-dollar tax penalty.
  泰勒是成本意識的。 灰狼的薪資總和是大約超出聯盟薪資門檻的$65.42百萬有100萬，
  並且超出了稅務罰款。

: But if money is a factor, acquiring Iverson could be an intriguing move.
: There's no doubt "The Answer" would sell tickets, and the Wolves began
: Saturday ranked 24th out of 30 NBA teams in average attendance.
  但如過金錢是一項因素，那麼對於Iverson的需求可能是個有魅力的行動。無庸置疑的，
  "答案"當然是賣票的，而灰狼隊的觀眾入場率在NBA30隊中是排名第24的。

: "The only reason to do something like that would be to see if you had a
: better chance of winning the championship," Taylor said. "I don't think you
: want to just go out there and do it if it won't help you win a championship,
: even though initially there might be some fan interest to watch him play.
: Would adding him and deleting other people on your team, do you have a better
: chance of winning the championship? If people made a proposal to me, that's
: the only way I'd look at it, and no one's done that."
  "唯一一個做如此事情原因是看看你是否有更好的機會來贏得總冠軍" Taylor說 "我並不
  認為你會想去一個不會幫助你獲得總冠軍的地方，即使那裡有很多球迷想要看他打球。
  在獲得他，並從你的陣容中去除某些人之時，是否有更加的機會來贏取總冠軍？如果人
  們對我提出了一個提案，那是我會用沒人來看待它的方式來看待它。

: At least not yet. Taylor said vice president of basketball operations Kevin
: McHale and the Wolves would wait to hear from the 76ers. It wouldn't be
: surprising if the teams already were talking, and it just had not reached the
: level at which Taylor would need to get involved.
  最後，Taylor說灰狼的副總裁，以及Kevin McHale會等待76人的意見，如果兩支球隊已
  經開始有所接觸，那不用太驚奇，並且這還沒達到需要Taylor來介入的部份。

: Philadelphia 76ers chairman Ed Snider said Friday that Iverson had asked to
: be traded and that the team would try to accommodate him. Reports nationally
: have mentioned the Wolves as a possible destination.
  費城七六人的老闆Ed Snider說星期五的時候Iverson要求被換，並且球隊會設法達到他
  的要求。報告中提到了灰狼隊是他較為想去的一支球隊。

: "First of all, it's really not up to us," Taylor said. "McHale would have to
: find out if this is something Philly wants to do, how bad they want to do it.
: I would assume a number of teams would have some interest (in Iverson). It's
: not something you could just do very easily. (Garnett's) contract is so
: large, you'd have a lot of money tied up in two guys."
  "首先，這不是我們能夠做決定的" Taylor說 "McHale將會發現費城是在做一件對他們
  非常不好的事。我假設有多球隊都對Iverson有興趣，但這不是一件容易的事。Garnett
  的合約非常大，而要將兩個大合約的球員放在一起你的薪資空間將會被壓縮很多。

: Although pairing Iverson's $17 million salary this season and Garnett's $21
: million together would be difficult, it wouldn't be impossible. Iverson,
: whose contract runs through the 2008-09 season, co-existed with 76ers forward
: Chris Webber, whose $20.7 million salary this season ranks second to
: Garnett's.
  雖然將Iverson的1700萬合約還有Garnett的2100萬合約放在一起是困難的，但這並不是
  不可能，他的合約將在2008-2009球季到期，跟七六人的前鋒"Chris Webber"一樣，而
  Webber的合約則是2070萬，在聯盟中僅次於Garnett。

: After a victory over Utah on Friday, Garnett said of Iverson: "Bring it on. I
: love 'The Answer.' We welcome A.I. with open arms. Where's Kevin McHale?"
  在星期五對猶他的勝利之後，Garnett說"將Iverson帶來吧，我喜歡"答案"。我們將展開
  雙臂來歡迎AI，Kevin McHale在哪裡？"

: Taylor reacted to that comment by downplaying the situation.
  Taylor 重做了那件事就好像當時的情況一樣。

: "You've got to do what you've got to do," Taylor said. "You can't force
: anything."
  "你必須做你得做的" Taylor說 "你不能強迫任何事。"

: So what would the Wolves have to give up to get Iverson? The 76ers probably
: would need a point guard in return, which means Mike James could be part of
: what likely would be a multi-player package. Because he was a free agent who
: signed this past summer, James is not eligible to be traded until Friday.
  既然如此，灰狼隊將交易出哪些球員來得到Iverson？七六人大概會需要一個控球後衛吧
  而這代表了Mike James將會是這個交易當中的其中一員。因為他是從自由球員的身分被
  灰狼隊簽到，所以他在星期五之前都不會被交易。

: Other players would need to be included to make the salaries involved come
: within 15 percent of Iverson's pay to comply with league rules. Troy Hudson
: and/or Marko Jaric could be added. Both have complained about their lack of
: playing time this season on a team overloaded with guards.
  跟據聯盟的規則，其他包含在這次交易內的球員的薪資總和必須在Iverson薪資的15%
  範圍內，Troy Hudson跟Marko Jaric這兩名因為後衛過多而一直抱怨在球季中沒有得到
  足夠上場時間的後衛可能會被包含在交易名單內。

: It's been widely reported that the 76ers coveted Randy Foye, a former
: Villanova guard, on draft night this past June.
  而報導也指出，76人對於灰狼隊這個六月才簽下的新人後衛Randy Foye敢到非常大的興
  趣
