Jeremy Lin & His Potential Fit With the Thunder, Blazers, Nuggets,
Timberwolves & Jazz

Posted on 19 May, 2016, by Greg in NBA
We're two thirds of the way through with our series of posts about Jeremy
Lin, his potential free agency and his fit on different teams. Up next?
The Northwest division, with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail
Blazers, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves.
我們探討Lin下一季以自由球員身份加入各隊定位的探討已完成2/3,
接著我們要探討的是西北組,包括奧克拉荷馬雷霆,波特蘭拓荒者,
猶他爵士,丹佛金塊,明尼蘇達灰狼這5隊.
The interesting thing about the Northwest division, in relation to Lin
and other players, is that there's no major TV market. Lin has played in
Golden State (hardly played), New York, Houston and Los Angeles. Last
season he was in Charlotte, which might be in the state that has college
basketball as an official religion, but it's still a small market when
it comes to its NBA team. Good or bad? Just thought it's worth mentioning.
有趣的是西北組對Lin或其他球員來說,這邊都是小球市沒啥電視曝光度,
Lin已經待過金州(很難上得了場),紐約,休士頓與洛杉磯,
上一季他待在夏洛特,這是一個大學籃球龍興之地,但對NBA來說是小球市,
這對Lin是好是壞不知道,算是一個值得一言的觀點.
We begin with the teams that Lin has no real place on. The Oklahoma City
Thunder have Russell Westbrook signed for one more year. That's about
35 minutes per game of a point guard who loves having the ball in his
hand. Even without Kevin Durant, Lin has no room on the Thunder, who do
get rid of Dion Waiters' contract. They might be in the market for a
backup point guard and a shooting guard they're happy with, but it's not
a good place for Lin.
我們首先說到雷霆隊,西河還有一年的合約,他是一個場均35分鐘且一球在手的控衛,
就算雷霆隊可能失去KD,在有Dion Waiters的情況下,Lin在這一隊依舊沒有立足空間,
雷霆隊可能想要一個有Lin這層水準的替補雙能衛,但對Lin來說這並不是個好位置.
Another team where Lin isn't going to end up? The Blazers. Portland don't
have a bench, and also $34 million in cap space, but the Damian Lillard -
C.J. McCollum backcourt eats up most of the minutes and possessions
available. There's no room for a new starting backcourt player. The Blazers
need a backup to these two, and Lin would be fantastic in that role, but
it's not for him: He needs more minutes and more responsibility.
那麼下一支球隊是否是Lin的歸宿?
拓荒者隊並沒有合格的替補後場,同時還有34M的薪資空間,
但在拓荒者雙槍Lillard與McCollum吃掉大部份後場的上場時間下,
已經沒有另一個後場球員太多的上場空間,
拓荒者需要雙槍的替補,Lin也是很適合的名單,
但對於Lin想要更多的上場時間與更多的場上角色來說並不適合.
The Denver Nuggets, with Mike Malone as a head coach, make more sense.
The Nuggets are pretty empty in the backfield, except for Emmanuel Mudiay.
Jameer Nelson is signed on, but he’s irrelevant at this point of his
career. D.J. Augustin? He actually did a number on the Hornets this season,
but he never sticks around in one place for too long, and will probably
bring his ability to score a lot of points and create mayhem for both
teams at the same time to a new city. The question here is this: Are the
Nuggets committed to seeing through Mudiay becoming a franchise-point
guard no matter what? Or are they willing to take down his minutes and
give Lin the keys to the offense? If the answer is yes, this could be an
interesting, slightly out of the box option for Lin.
金塊隊在Mike Malone的執教下,看起來有點意思了.
該隊後衛來說除了新秀Mudiay以外已經沒有其他的後場大將,
Nelson已經步入老將之齡,D.J.Augustin生涯初期在黃蜂有些成績,
但轉了許多球隊後,並沒有打出太大的影響力,
接下就是看金塊是否把Mudiay當成地位不可動搖的控衛;
如果不是,那或許會願意把一些上場時間撥給Lin開啟攻擊模式?
若上述狀況成立,金塊會是一個意想不到的有趣選擇.
On to the Utah Jazz, an option I personally really like. A very good
defensive team, that can allow Lin to take more risks on defense and
show how good of a ball snatcher he is. Trey Burke isn't a starting
point guard. Gordon Hayward handles the ball, but not all the time,
and he's better without it. Dante Exum? Too many questions marks. Raul
Neto shouldn't be holding anyone back from starting at point guard too.
Again, just like with the Nuggets, the question here is whether or not
the Jazz are 100% behind Exum and don't want to try and eat into his
minutes. Lin could provide them with creativity they severley lacked on
offense too many times, costing them a place in the playoffs, although
one more lottery piece for a team that isn't losing anyone significant
isn't too big of a disaster.
爵士隊是我其中一個覺得不錯的球隊,
它優秀的防守體系可以承載Lin更多主掌球帶來的失誤,並讓Lin的持球表現更亮眼,
Burke不是個先發控球的人選,更多時間通常是Hayward在控球,
但Hayward還是減少這樣做對他會更有利;
Exum身上貼著太多執疑的標籤了,Raul Neto也沒有辦法把球控好.
爵士跟金塊一樣,重點在於爵士願不願意把放在Exum身上的關愛分一點給Lin,
林可以填補上爵士貧弱欠創造力的進攻,試著讓他們搶那季後賽的門票,
反正就當買個樂透,再差也沒什麼可以失去了.
We finish with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Why them? Don't they have a
point guard, signed through the 2018-2019 season? Yes they do. Ricky Rubio
is owed $42.6 million over the next three years. He's only 25, but has
been playing pro basketball since he was 14. He might have improved his
three point shooting, but he still gets no Respeck from defenses as a
shooter. When he's never finished above 38.1% from the field in a season,
it's understandable. Rubio has great vision and is a very fun player to
watch, but Lin would fit right in with a young, talented team, that now
also has an excellent head coach. We've heard of the Timberwolves thinking
about trading Rubio. If it does happen, Minnesota is an obvious destination
for Lin.
最後來到灰狼隊,為什麼我把他們放在最後講? 他們明明就有一個長約的主力控衛.
Rubio到2018-19球季,還有3年42.6M的約.
Rubio只有25歲,但他從14歲就開始打職業籃球了.
他必須要提高他的3分球投籃,防守者並沒有把他當成一個射手看待,
但他的生涯命中率沒有高過於38.1%,這是不合格的,
雖然Rubio有更好的場上視野,看他控球很有樂趣,
但Lin更適合這個年輕且充滿天份的球隊,而現在灰狼也有個不錯的總教練.
我們從不乏聽到灰狼想交易Rubio的風聲,如果成真,那灰狼對Lin會是很棒的選擇.
【結論】
雷霆: 卡哇幫嘎~!!
阿拓: 後場雙槍空間受限
金塊: 視Mudiay的少主重視度
爵士: 對目前後場成員的斷捨離與否?
灰狼: 有空間,盧比歐被交易更佳
