Jeremy Lin & Pacific Division: Lakers, Warriors, Clippers, Kings & Suns
as Potential Landing Spots

Posted on 22 May, 2016, by Greg in NBA
The final chapter in our "journey" through the NBA's divisions and finding
the right fit for Jeremy Lin, if he switches teams (again) this offseason,
taking a look at the teams of the Pacific division: Golden State Warriors,
Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers.
這趟論述Lin下季落腳之處的"旅程",最後一章我們來到了太平洋組:
金州勇士,洛杉磯快艇,沙加緬度國王,鳳凰城太陽與洛杉磯湖人.
Let's jump right into it, and begin with the team that there's no way Lin
goes back to: The Lakers. Why? Kobe Bryant is gone. Byron Scott is gone.
Luke Walton makes an interesting choice. But I don't think Mitch Kupchak
thinks much of Lin, and D'Angelo Russell, Lou Williams (unless he's traded)
and Jordan Clarkson (I don't see the Lakers letting him slip away in free
agency) just eat up too many minutes of time with the ball for Lin to even
consider this, before we even take into account how bad that year was for
him.
讓我們單刀直入地來到第一個論述的球隊,Lin不會回去的湖人隊. 為什麼?
就算Kobe退休了,BS被炒了,新帥是Luke Walton這似乎很有意思,
但我不覺得總管庫切普克會想到Lin,而且這隊尚有DLo,魯長老(如果沒被交易走),
Clarkson(我不覺得湖人會放他進自由球員市場),
後場已滿的狀況下,看不出來能撥出多少時間與球權給Lin,
就算這些都不是問題,也該想想Lin在那隊有著多不好的回憶?
Staying in town, but moving to the other side of the street. The Clippers.
Their starting point guard, Chris Paul, plays about 33 minutes a night.
Austin Rivers, who sometimes looks like he belongs in the D-League and
other nights seems like a legitimate backup guard, is staying for another
season, unless he and his dad pull a nice trick of opting out of his deal
and giving him a nice, fat extension. That's their point guard situation,
while Jamal Crawford hits free agency. Lin could make an interesting option
here but A)Paul plays 33 minutes a night and B) Blake Griffin loves the ball
in his hands too. Lin could get minutes, but not enough of them as the point
guard.
繼續留在LA,我們移駕到同城市的快艇隊,
這一隊已經有了場均33分鐘的先發主控CP3,
有著有時看起來像發展聯盟但有時又合格的河少爺這樣的替補控衛,
加上河少會因為他爸持續續約的情況下,下一季也會留隊;
Crawford之後是自由球員,林或許可以補上他的空缺,
但鑒於 A)CP3佔了33分鐘 B)給力芬也喜歡控球的情況下,
Lin在快艇可以拿到相當的上場時間,但打不是控衛身份的情況應該佔多數.
On to the NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are
probably one of those teams players, including Lin, who began his career
with the Warriors and is from Palo Alto, are willing to take less minutes
just to be on the team. Lin would fit in well here, but again, if he's
looking for a place to get plenty of minutes with the ball, the Bay Area
is wrong for him. Stephen Curry, Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala, Draymond
Green. That doesn't leave a lot of minutes to be the main ball handler.
Not a lot of minutes to play in general.
接著是上一季奪冠的勇士隊,它是Lin的生涯起點,而且離家近,
基於以上因素,Lin或許不會介意上場時間可能會減少而加盟該隊,
Lin應該會符合勇士的需要,但如果他追求的是更多的控球時間,
灣區就變成錯誤的選擇.
Curry, Livingston, Iguodala, 追夢綠都能控球的情況下,
Lin在勇士是不會有太多的控球時間的.
The Phoenix Suns looked oh so promising until the beginning of the 2015-
2016 season, and then everything fell apart. Jeff Hornacek got fired,
injuries, players wanting to leave. From one of the most fun-to-watch teams
in the league in the previous two years, this is a franchise with huge
question marks. They have Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight sharing the
backcourt. Maybe if one of them is traded, there will be room for Lin.
But there's also Devin Booker who'll probably push Knight out. In short,
the team needs help in a lot of ways, but there’s just too many players
at point guard for Lin to even consider moving there.
開季前的太陽曾是帳面上看起來很棒的球隊,但隨之而來的卻是各種失敗,
總教練老何遭到開除,球員們也想離開,
作為這2年來其中一隊最具觀賞性的球隊,太陽在經營球隊方面出現了很大的問題.
後場現在有Bledsoe和Knight,如果他們其中一個有可能交易,Lin就可以去填補,
不過別忘了今年太陽還有一個新秀Booker打出身價來,他有可能逆襲走Knight.
簡單來說,太陽這支球隊急需各種援助,但他們的控衛實在太多了.
But which teams needs a point guard, and bad? The Sacramento Kings do.
Rajon Rondo is a free agent. Darren Collison doesn't get you anywhere as a
starter. Lin could cement a spot in that lineup, no problem. He'll give
them a very different look compared to Rondo, who the Kings were slightly
better off without last season. But... there's always a but, right? The
Kings ownership and front office situation is a mess. The roster was put
together without too much thinking, around DeMarcus Cousins in a league
that doesn't really give dominant post up centers a chance to succeed.
Dave Joerger is probably a much better fit than George Karl to this team
and out of all the teams in this division, Lin would get the most minutes
and touches here. Will he also win the most with them? I'm not so sure.
哪一個球隊是既缺控衛又狀況很糟的? 國王隊.
Rondo成為自由球員,但Collison本身也會去競爭下一季的先發,
Lin無疑可以成為國王隊的黏合劑,
相較於有時候不在場上打球反而球隊可能更好的Rondo,Lin能讓國王呈現不一樣的面貌.
然而,國王永遠有個"but",它的所有權以及制服組一團亂,
球員的構成就像隨便亂湊合在一起未經過考量似的;
Cousins處於一個中鋒影響力不大的聯盟下或許可以取得成功,
或許Joerger比起老卡爾更適合執教國王,Lin應該可以在這得到最多的上場時間,
但他們可以合作贏得最多的勝利嗎? 我不敢肯定.
【結論】
湖人: 寶貝,你怎麼可以吃了甜頭就走,Lin的心就像破了一個洞~(廣告詞)
快艇: 有明確的主控,替控,還有一個控球前鋒
勇士: 要有無法再見到表現亮眼的Lin的心理準備
太陽: 管理層很亂,真的有優秀新秀可以逆襲
國王: 有空間,但管理層超級亂,還有別忘了表弟的脾氣
