前言：
這篇文章的作者是Clutch 也就是CF(Clutchfans)論壇的站長
雖然CF論壇一直以來都給大家林黑的印象
不過不管是站長Clutch 或是常常內部爆料的cybrex
感覺上都是跟火箭球團頗有關係的人
他們對於Lin未來動向的討論 我想都有一定參考價值
Lin的部分全文翻譯 其他部分只翻標題 大家看看吧
火箭面臨關鍵休賽期(Rockets face critical offseason)
1.火箭需要教練方面的協助(Rockets Need Coaching Help)
2.追求大獵物(Big Game Hunting)
3.交易Lin與阿西(Trading Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik)
4.迫切需要：三分外線與防守(Wanted: Three-and-D)
5.從鬍子身上我們看到什麼？(What we saw from James Harden)
以下是3.的全文
Jeremy Lin’s contract makes it more likely that he gets traded this offseason
Omer Asik didn’t speak to the media on Monday (par for the course), though I did see him exit the building. Lin said it’s “part of the business.”
Lin的合約使得他很可能在這個休賽期被交易。禮拜一阿西沒有對媒體發言(一如往常)，但我的確看到他離開這棟建築。Lin說這是「商業的一部分。」
“I’m human. I definitely wonder about it,” said Lin of the thought that he will be traded this summer. “Next year will be my fifth season. My first year and a half, I dealt with my name being surrounded with getting cut. And from then on, my name being surrounded with trades. I’d rather take the second than the first.”
「我是人。我的確想知道這件事。」對於今年夏天他將會被交易的想法，Lin如此說道。「明年將是我的第五個賽季；最開始的一年半，我面對我的名字圍繞著被裁掉之類的事情。在那之後，我的名字圍繞著交易。我寧可接受後者而不是前者。」
Here’s why I think we’ve seen Lin and Asik’s final games with the Rockets.
以下是為什麼我認為Lin跟阿西已經打完在火箭的最後幾場比賽。
The Rockets will be paying a hair under $30 million to a pair of backup players. I repeat — thirty mill. Backups. Even at a cap hit of $17 million, it’s a terrible allocation of cap space and funds.
火箭將支付3000萬美元給兩個替補球員。我再重複一次—3000萬美元。而且是替補球員。即使薪資空間只佔1700萬美元，它仍舊是筆可怕的薪資空間與資金。
Asik is a luxury the Rockets can’t afford. Lin is a less-than-ideal fit on a team that would place more of a premium on sure-handedness, three-point shooting and defense at the position. He could do a lot more on a team with lower expectations that gave him carte blanche to operate and develop — much like the Rockets expected to be when they signed him.
阿西是個火箭負擔不起的奢侈品。在一支格外注重sure-handedness、三分投射，以及對位防守的球隊裡，Lin則是一個不盡理想的選擇。他可以在一支比較不被期待的球隊裡做得更多，給他充分空間去運作發展—就像當初火箭簽他時所期待他做的一樣。
P.S sure-handedness字面上是「有把握的慣用手」 所以大概是在說Lin的運球不好吧... 有錯請指正!
As mentioned before, Morey can’t sign anyone of significance until their foundation is set. Are they really going to use up another year of Dwight’s prime before making the move for the third guy? Getting a third guy means dealing Asik and/or Lin.
It would have been irresponsible to trade Lin and Asik for nothing at this past February trade deadline given that they were in the middle of an important season. The Rockets were shopping those players looking for a big name star (unlikely) or for players that could help them this season without hurting their flexibility beyond 2015 (difficult). That concern does not exist this summer. They simply need to unload them off the books, knowing that the cap room itself is now a significant asset to work with.
就像先前所提到的，莫雷無法簽下任何重大球員，直到他們做好準備(清出薪資空間)為止。難道他們真的要在簽下第三巨頭之前再耗掉魔獸全盛時期一年？要得到第三巨頭就表示得交易掉阿西與/或Lin。在今年二月交易大限前，交易掉Lin與阿西卻什麼都沒得到是不可靠的，因為當時他們正處於一個重要賽季的一半。火箭當時正在兜售一些球員並且追求一個大牌球星(要做到不太可能)，或是一些，在不傷害2015年以後運作彈性的前提下，在這個賽季能夠幫助他們的球員(要做到有難度)。以上考量在今年夏天都不存在了。他們只需要將Lin與阿西從名冊上剔除，並且了解到薪資
空間本身是目前運作的重點即可。
The Rockets will try to prepare several trade options they can turn to when the need for cap room arises. The Rockets can likely move Asik given that he is a rare commodity, but Lin for “nothing” (pure cap room) will cost the Rockets additional assets and will be harder to execute.
隨著對薪資空間的需求增加，火箭將會備妥幾個能夠幫助他們的交易選擇。火箭很有可能交易掉阿西，因為他是個稀有的好用球員，但若是交易掉Lin且換不來任何東西(只為了清出薪資空間)，那將會花掉火箭額外資產而且窒礙難行。
I would be shocked if either player is still with the team by training camp in September.
九月訓練營之前，如果Lin或阿西任何一個還在火箭，我會非常驚訝。
短評或心得：那就麻煩你了 XD (雖然莫雷說他並不期待交易...)
btw 也許三巨頭跟總冠軍有統計上的關聯性
但如果我是火箭總經理 我想要總冠軍
一個上場時間平均28.9分鐘 繳出場均12.5分4.1助攻
先發板凳隨你高興 而且無私不貪功的球員 我是不會交易的
因為不管是 強化教練團 或是 要求鬍子拿出態度做好防守
這兩件事 都比交易Lin與阿西清出薪資空間來買第三巨頭 要簡單得多
而且只要做到這兩件事 讓現有陣容的天賦做最大發揮
我想沒有人不會覺得火箭無法衝擊西冠甚至總冠軍
anyway 靜觀其變吧...
