Rockets Q&A: A fan’s guide to the offseason http://tinyurl.com/q8u4v4r
以下僅節錄兩則跟林書豪有關的
Q. Have Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin played their last game with the Rockets?
問: 上一場就是阿喜 & 林書豪穿火箭球衣的最後一場比賽了嗎?
A. Not necessarily. If the Rockets need cap room for a high-priced free
agent, they are certain to move their highest-paid players after Dwight
Howard and James Harden. Though they could not deal Asik in December, when
Daryl Morey was certain he would be able to complete a trade, the Rockets
sought real help in that deal. If they are to trade him and Lin, they would
be doing it to make room for the help they need and would be seeking a team
to take on the contracts, which count roughly $8.3 million against the cap.
答: 不必然如此. 如果火箭需要清出薪資空間來簽高薪的自由球員, 那麼隊上薪資僅
次於DH跟鬍子的阿喜與書豪就一定會被移走. 雖然去年12月火箭交易阿喜失敗
, 那是因為Morey只會尋求對球隊有幫助的交易. 所以如果火箭要把阿喜與林書
豪交易出去, 那肯定是火箭需要這樣做好清出需要的薪資空間, 並且接手阿喜與
林書豪的下家也將能吞下兩人下一季合約上的薪資 (實付US$15M, cap US$8M)
There are some teams that would balk at paying the $15 million portion of
their contracts, but if teams could get Asik or Lin without giving up much,
Morey should be able to find a deal.
有些球隊或許會因為下一季的US$15M嚇的裹足不前, 但如果有買家能在不用付出太多
的狀況下接手阿喜與林書豪的合約, Morey應該會樂於談談
Q. Would the Rockets trade them anyway?
問: 火箭會把他們 (阿喜 * 書豪)交易走嘛?
A. That is less likely but definitely an option. It’s less likely because if
the Rockets are not using cap space on free-agent replacements, they would
need talent back, making a deal much tougher to complete. Asik is certain to
leave a year later. Lin might, though he seems far more comfortable with his
role. But the Rockets’ decision-making will not be about seasons down the
line. They will build for next season, and both have demonstrated their value
to the team.
答: 這不太可能啦, 但也是個選項就是了. 我說不太可能是因為如果火箭不需要清出
薪資空間來簽替代的自由球員的話, 火箭還是需要他們的潛力來支援的, 這樣的
交易很難去完成. 阿喜或許還會留一年, 林書豪也是, 何況林書豪看來比阿喜更
能適應他現在的角色. 火箭做決定的高層不一定非得在休賽季做出決定, 下一
季的季中why not? 什麼時間不是重點, 決定所帶來的價值才是.
[心得]
1. 看來不用開賭盤來猜林書豪夏天會不會轉隊了, 變數實在太多, 火箭雖然不想重用
, 但無法賣到好價值時應該會狠心留隊再糟蹋一年 >"<
2. 大家都知道了, 下季火箭不動三王: DH, 哈登, 冰箱
CP下季換隊的機率不是沒有, 只不過非常小, 除非同位置的甜瓜要來
