Source: Charlotte Hornets to add Jeremy Lin as Kemba Walker’s backup
(夏洛特黃蜂增加林書豪成為Kemba Walker的替補)
媒體: 夏洛特觀察報
記者: Rick Bonnell
Free-agent point guard Jeremy Lin has agreed to terms with the Charlotte
Hornets, an NBA source confirmed Wednesday evening.
自由球員控衛林書豪已經同意加盟夏洛特黃蜂
Signing Lin would address two priorities for the Hornets: Improving their
outside shooting and adding depth at the point guard position. General
manager Rich Cho had said repeatedly that adding a third point guard was
high on the team’s offseason to-do list.
黃蜂簽下林有兩項好處:增加他們外線的威脅性,以及增加控衛位置上的陣容深度.
黃蜂總管Rich Cho已經說過他們要在這個夏天帶來第三名控衛加盟球隊.
Essentially Lin will replace Mo Williams on the roster and be a veteran
behind starter Kemba Walker with 3-point range and pick-and-roll acumen.
Brian Roberts likely would be the third point guard.
基本上林應會取代Mo Williams在上季的輪值,成為Kemba Walker背後的那一位具備
三分射程以及擋拆進攻,經驗豐富的球員,替補控衛Brian Roberts可能會變成第三控
衛.
Lin has played five NBA seasons for the Golden State Warriors, New York
Knicks, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. Over that span he has
averaged 11.8 points and 4.8 assists and shot 34.9 percent from 3-point
range.
林在聯盟已經打過五個球季,前後效力於金州勇士,紐約尼克,休士頓火箭與洛杉磯
湖人,5年生涯中平均可得11.8分與4.8助,三分球命中率為34.9%.
Lin became a sensation during his “Linsanity” days playing for the Knicks,
but since then he ended up a backup for the Rockets and mostly for the
Lakers. He is very good at what he does best – pick-and-roll offense and
long-range shooting – but his defense is shaky.
林在尼克林來瘋那段時間成為話題球員,但他在火箭的最後一季與在湖人大部份時間都是
替補控衛,他在擋拆進攻以及遠程投籃可以做到他最好的一面,但他的防守並不好.
Lin’s contract terms were not immediately available. But based on his
coming to terms with the Hornets before the NBA’s moratorium on contract-
signings ended Thursday, it’s a fair assumption he got the full mid-level
exception: A contract with a starting salary of about $5.5 million next
season.
林的合約尚未談妥,但從黃蜂週四以前定調的合約來看,他應該可以拿到全額中產特例的
合約:開季起薪550萬美金的合約.
That’s the most the Hornets could pay any free agent, since they start the
NBA’s new fiscal year above the salary cap, which is about $70 million for
2015-16.
這是黃蜂能給自由球員的最大約,特別是聯盟新一季的薪資帽高達7千萬美金.
The Hornets had limited options going into free agency, particularly after
making pre-draft trades to acquire Nicolas Batum from Portland and Jeremy
Lamb from Oklahoma City. Those deals added more than $5 million to the
Hornets’ player payroll.
黃蜂投入自由球員市場的額度與選擇有限,特別是在選秀前交易來雷霆隊的Jeremy Lamb
與拓荒者隊的Nicolas Batum,這些交易總計下來增加了黃蜂5百萬美金的球員薪資.
Initially the Hornets explored signing shooting guard Marco Belinelli, who
came to terms with the Sacramento Kings, but Lin was high on the team’s
wish list.
最初黃蜂透露要簽下已經去了國王隊的得分後衛Marco Belinelli,但林是黃蜂更高順
位的簽約選擇.
Signing Lin will bring the Hornets’ guaranteed contracts to 12 with an
NBA-maximum roster of 15. That could still leave room to sign undrafted
rookie Aaron Harrison, who has drawn praise from team officials during
summer league in Orlando, Fla.
簽下林以後,讓黃蜂的保障約登錄球員達到12位(聯盟上限是15人),這讓黃蜂可以簽下
Aaron Harrison這位在奧蘭多夏季聯賽中獲得球隊好評的落選新秀.
Lin adds to a Hornets trend this offseason of accepting defensive
limitations to find more scoring options. The Hornets traded for Spencer
Hawes and drafted Frank Kaminsky in recent weeks. Neither is considered a
particularly strong defender. Meanwhile the Hornets chose not to make a
qualifying offer to center Bismack Biyombo, a strong rim protector but a
very limited scorer.
林增加了黃蜂的進攻選擇與防守上的侷限.加上黃蜂最近得到了Spencer Hawes與新秀
Frank Kaminsky,這些球員也不認為是在防守上很強的球員.同時黃蜂也不再用QO續留
防守型中鋒Bismack Biyombo.
