Jeremy Lin Free-Agency Update: J-Lin Would Still Demand $8MM to $10MM Per
Year Contract http://tinyurl.com/kun8bqo
林書豪自由市場追蹤報導: 林書豪將仍會要求US$8MM~10MM的年薪合約
After collecting a career-high $15 million last season, Jeremy Lin won't be
expected to lower down his price tag even after an up-and-down season with
the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, Mychal Thompson of ESPN Radio Los Angeles
even believed the former Harvard standout might still be targeting a contract
that would pay him around $8 million to $10 million per season.
上季年薪領了生涯新高的US$1500萬後, 儘管在湖人度過了起起落落的一季, 可以預期林
書豪將不會降薪求約, 事實上ESPN湖人台的Mychal Thompson相信, 哈佛小子將仍會去尋
求年薪US$800萬~US$1000萬之間的合約
Coming off the worst statistical year since the post-Linsanity era (11.2
points on 42% FG/ 36% 3pts and 4.6 assists in 27 minutes per game), the
26-year old Lin will enter the free-agency season sans the enormous media
coverage and hype that bestowed upon him three years ago. Still, he remains
one of the most intriguing free-agents to hit the market this summer largely
because of his strong output in the second half of the season and the fact
that he's still 26-year old.
上季在湖人是林來瘋後最低迷的個人數據, 26歲的林書豪將會在較以往少的媒體宣傳上
投入自由球員市場, 但因為他這下半季的出色表現以及僅僅26歲, 林書豪將仍然會是自
由球員市場中最引人注目的一名球員
In his appearance on ESPN Los Angeles Radio show Mason and Ireland, former
Lakers All-Star Mychal Thompson talked about the potential offseason
transactions the Lakers would make this summer as they attempt to bounce back
from two consecutive nightmarish seasons.
林書豪前陣子有上ESPN湖人廣播台, 前湖人all star的Mychal Thompson提及了這個休賽
季湖人可能的交易, 因為湖人亟想擺脫連兩季的惡夢
Thompson believed the Lakers are going to make a run at a high-profile
free-agent this season and use their top-5 pick to select one of the studs
coming out of the collegiate ranks. The rest will likely be holdovers from
last season, with only Nick Young and Jordan Hill possibly not coming back
with the purple-and-gold next season.
這段只有湖人就不翻譯了
As to Jeremy Lin, Thompson thinks it would depend on the Lakers' free-agency
plan and the player's asking price. Lin stressed at the end of the
regular-season that his main priority will be to pick a team where he fits in
well. Although he's not ruling out a return to the Lakers, Lin is also
drawing interest from the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers and Denver
Nuggets.
至於林書豪, Thompson認為取決於湖人夏天的自由球員計劃跟球員們要求的價格, 林本身
因為下半季打出更好的表現, 所以他會把更適合他發揮的球隊擺在最優先的挑選順位. 雖
然口頭上林書豪並未排除回到湖人, 但其他球隊如火箭/七六人/金塊都對林書豪很有興趣
According to Thompson, aside from having the opportunity again to have a
bigger role, Lin would also seek a significant paycheck worth $8 million to
$10 million per year, a price tag that would instantly kill the prospect of
playing again with the Lakers.
Thompson表示, 他認為林書豪除了想找一支能給他更重要角色的球隊之外, 同時林也會去
尋求一張平均年薪約US$800萬~US$1000萬的合約, 而這價碼就跟湖人無緣了
