: Two exhibition games remain for the Timberwolves. It remains to be seen
: whether that's all the time left in Ndudi Ebi's career as a Wolf.
灰狼還剩下兩場季前賽，我們可以等著看N.Ebi身穿灰狼球衣的職業生涯會不會就此畫
下句點。
: The NBA has informed the Wolves that Ebi will not be granted an exception to
: play in the NBA Development League, which could give the Wolves more incentive
: to waive the former first-round pick by the end of the month. The Wolves had
: petitioned the league for an exception so that Ebi could get more playing time
: in an attempt to get his career off the ground.
NBA總部已經通知灰狼，Ebi將不會被允許以特例的方式被球隊下放至NBA發展聯盟練兵
，此項決議將迫使灰狼更有可能在月底將前第一輪選秀球員Ebi揮棄。灰狼已向聯盟陳情，
希望能破例讓Ebi到發展聯盟打球以延續他的NBA生涯。
: But the collective bargaining agreement states that only players in their
: first two seasons are eligible. The league found no wiggle room in the
: bargaining agreement.
不過經由共同協商達成的協議聲明只有菜鳥及僅有一年NBA經驗的二年生具有被球隊下
放至發展聯盟打球的資格，聯盟在協商會議中並沒有給予任何討價還價的空間。
: "We've informed the team that the collective bargaining agreement specifically
: says players in their first two years," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Saturday.
: "It won't be possible for Ndudi Ebi or any other player who's further along
: than his second year to go to the developmental league."
NBA發言人T.Frank禮拜六時說"我們已經明確地告知球隊共同協商達成的協議，僅有菜
鳥及二年級生才有到NBADL打球的資格，未來不管是Ebi或其他已在聯盟待了兩年以上的球
員都不具有被球隊下放至NBADL的資格。"
: Wolves coach Dwane Casey said Saturday he was not surprised by the league's
: decision. Casey said Wolves vice president of basketball operations Kevin
: McHale called Stu Jackson, NBA senior vice president of basketball operations,
: to inquire about options regarding Ebi.
灰狼教練D.Casey禮拜六說對於聯盟的決定他並不感到驚訝，因為灰狼副籃球總裁K.
McHale曾打電話給NBA資深副籃球事務總裁S.Jackson探聽聯盟關於Ebi這件事的決定。
: "Kevin called Stu just to see more than anything else," Casey said. "It kind
: of got blown out of proportion."
Casey說"McHale打電話給Jackson只是想看看事情是不是有其他發展的可能性，不過看
來機會是微乎其微。"
: Casey said he apologized to Ebi for not having talked with him about the idea
: of playing in the developmental league before Ebi found out from reporters
: Friday. Ebi was angered to learn that the Wolves were looking into the
: possibility of sending him to the D-League.
Casey說他向Ebi道歉，因為在向聯盟陳情之前，他並沒有找Ebi談過關於球隊有要把他
下放到NBADL打球的想法，直到禮拜五Ebi才從記者發現有這檔事存在，而Ebi本人則對灰狼
尋求將他送到NBADL的可能性感到憤怒。
: Casey said his talk with Ebi was productive.
Casey說他跟Ebi的交談是有價值的。
: "He understood," Casey said. "He was willing, at the end of the day, to do
: whatever's best for the team. That says a lot about Ndudi."
Casey說"他了解了，只要對球隊有益的事，不管如何他都願意去做。"
: As it turns out, Ebi's lack of willingness to go along with the D-League plan
: is a moot point. The fact that Ebi will not be able to gain experience in the
: lower-tier league means that if he's kept on the roster, he's not likely to
: play much this season.
原本Ebi缺乏到發展聯盟打球的意願是爭論的癥結點，但事實卻是Ebi未具有到次級聯
盟打球以增加實戰經驗的資格，這也正意味著他的名字本季如果繼續掛在球員名單上，他
依然無法有很多上場的時間來磨練身手。
: The Wolves owe Ebi $803,600 for this season under his guaranteed contract.
: They would have to pay him that amount if they waive him. The team also must
: decide by Oct. 31 whether to pick up an option to extend his contract into
: 2006-07 or allow him to pursue free agency next summer.
根據Ebi的保證合約，灰狼本季必須付給他$80,3600的薪水，就算球隊選擇將他揮棄
，他們依然必須支付這筆薪水。球隊也必須在10月31日前決定是否要將Ebi的合約延長至'
06-'07球季或讓他在明年暑假就變成自由球員。
: Wolves owner Glen Taylor said Friday the team must decide whether it's better
: to waive Ebi, which would open a roster spot and let him pursue playing with
: another team.
灰狼老闆G.Taylor禮拜五說球隊必須決定是否要揮棄Ebi，讓他有到別的球隊尋求擠進
球員名單的機會。
: "He's got to earn it," general manager Jim Stack said Saturday. "It remains
: to be seen."
總管J.Stack禮拜六說"他必須更努力以爭取上場的機會，他依然保有機會。"
: Ebi, 21, has played just 86 minutes in two seasons with Minnesota. He had
: played 11 minutes, the fewest on the team, heading into Saturday night's game
: at Milwaukee.
21歲的Ebi在灰狼兩季的時間總共只上場了86分鐘，在禮拜六晚上跟密爾瓦基的比賽當
中他也只上了全隊最少的11分鐘。
: The organization has not made any firm decisions about who will play in the
: developmental league this season, Casey said. Guards Bracey Wright and Lionel
: Chalmers are possibilities, assuming they make the team, along with center
: Dwayne Jones.
Casey說球團尚未決定本季將把那些人送至NBADL，後衛B.Wright和L.Chalmers是可能的
人選，他猜想球隊會選擇將中鋒D.Jones留在陣中。
: There's "no clear-cut candidate" to make the final spot on the roster, Casey
: said.
Casey說現在球隊的球員名單最後一個位置還沒有一個明確、有力的人選。
