標題[外電] It's time to trade Kevin Garnett (下)
時間Wed Nov 22 17:02:25 2006
Contenders in the West, if the Wolves could stomach that, would be lining up as
well: Phoenix, Dallas and certainly others. The Lakers' interest, furthermore,
is no secret, with Kobe Bryant and Garnett seemingly an ideal tag team given
KG's well-chronicled unselfishness … and Garnett maintaining an offseason
residence in Malibu … and two tantalizing big men (Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum
) for the Wolves to go after.
西區競爭者的部份,如果灰狼能忍受以糧資敵的情況發生,可供交易者也能列舉如下
:鳳凰城太陽、達拉斯小牛以及其他好幾支球隊。此外,洛杉磯湖人渴望爭取KG加盟早已
是眾所皆知的公開秘密,因為KG不自私的球風和小飛俠似乎能完美地契合,共組一支理想
中的、話題性十足的強隊...而且KG在馬里布也擁有一處暑假休兵期間的私人住所...而且
湖人也有兩名令人垂涎的年輕大個(L.Odom、A.Bynum)。
Not that I'm expecting my pleas to rouse the Wolves into action. Folks who've
observed Garnett more closely and longer than I have insist that he yearns to
be the Twin Cities' hoops answer to Kirby Puckett -- from a one team-only
standpoint -- and finish his career there at all costs. Which only makes it
tougher for the Wolves to contemplate moving him.
不是只有我期待我的懇求能喚醒灰狼,讓他們開始有所動作。我堅信KG也已經贏得了
雙城市民的心,取代K.Puckett('01年入選棒球名人堂的前雙城名將,今年三月份由於中風
病逝)成為雙城的新希望 -- 這是從一個只有一支球隊的觀點來看 -- 但市民們對KG的關注
的程度比我還深,時間也比我久,更迫切希望球隊不惜一切代價讓KG能在此地終老。我寫
這些全都是希望灰狼在決定將KG放上交易桌前能夠再三考慮。
Will Garnett move off that stance if it puts his legacy at risk? If it means
that one trip to the West finals and a scant playoff resume beyond that is the
extent of what we get from one of the most gifted 7-footers this game has ever
seen?
如果KG必須以終其職業生涯是否能奪得總冠軍為賭注,他會不會轉投其他球隊的想法
萌生?那是不是意味著一度闖進西區冠軍賽之後卻陷入連季後賽門票都拿不到的窘境已經
是灰狼與這位有史以來最有天份的七呎長人的最大極限了?
We'll see.
我們都在等著看。
In the interim? Doubts about Wolves coach Dwane Casey surviving the season have
been in circulation for some time, but the Wolves' next big move, according to
team insiders, is to transfer control of the front office at season's end from
the under-fire Kevin McHale to Fred Hoiberg, one of KG's all-time favorite
teammates. Perhaps that will brighten Garnett's outlook after an increasing
frostiness in his relationship with McHale, who drafted him No. 5 overall out
of high school in 1995.
此外,對於灰狼教頭D.Casey是否能撐過這個球季的話題已經不時被拿出來討論了。但
根據球隊內部消息指出,灰狼的下一個大動作將會是在季末,球隊的總管會從McFail換成
后羿伯,KG職業生涯最親切的好友之一。或許那會讓KG在和'95年選秀會上以第五順位挑選
他的McFail關係漸行漸遠之後,對球隊有不一樣的觀感產生。
Yet no matter who's running the personnel department, it's pretty safe to say
that only one man can decide if we'll ever be reading about a tangible Garnett
trade. The theory I'm borrowing from one Eastern Conference executive is that
it'll take Wolves owner Glen Taylor coming out and telling all of 'Sota that it
was his call … that it was in the Wolves' and Garnett's best interests to
start anew.
不過不管是由誰主導人事行政部門,或許更該這麼說,只有一個人可以決定我們是否
某天會在體育新聞頭條讀到KG被交易的新聞。根據我從東區聯盟某支球隊的總理那聽來的
推測,只有灰狼老闆G.Taylor登高一呼,告訴整個'蘇達的球迷說交給他就對了...才能讓
灰狼和KG有重新來過的興趣。
I can't imagine McHale wants to make trading KG his farewell move after
absorbing much of the blame locally for the Wolves' recent demise. Nor would
trading Garnett be a very appetizing intro to GM-ing for Hoiberg.
我無法想像McFail因為灰狼近來一厥不振的表現而飽受當地球迷噓聲後還想以KG交易
案作為他的告別作,而且交易KG想必也是即將接任球隊總管的后羿伯所不樂見的。
Until Taylor is ready to move on -- and he recently told Minneapolis' weekly
City Pages newspaper that he could only reach that point through mutual consent
with Garnett -- the trade talk that tantalizes armchair GMs everywhere isn't
much more than that.
直到Taylor準備有所動作前 -- 而他最近向明尼亞波利斯的城市專欄週報披露說除非
和KG面談後雙方都取得共識,否則他不會讓交易案成真 -- 這筆讓全國各地的球隊總管無
法坐視不管的交易傳聞也不過是紙上談兵罷了。
Talk.
討論看看囉。
