NBA Rumors: Dallas Mavericks interested in Luol Deng
The Dallas Mavericks added a few nice pieces to their team last offseason,
including guard Monta Ellis, but didn’t make the big splash they wanted.
With cap space available, they will try again this year.
上賽季小牛多了幾位生力軍，像是Monta Ellis，但小牛想要的大交易案卻沒有發生，
今年有了足夠的薪資空間，小牛勢必會再捲土重來。
The Mavericks want to make a big move to acquire a star like Miami Heat
forward LeBron James, Minnesota Timberwolves’ power forward Kevin Love or
New York Knicks’ forward Carmelo Anthony, but none of those options seem all
that realistic.
小牛想要進行一筆大交易，得到像是LeBron James、Kevin Love或Carmelo Anthony這樣的
球星，但是上述那些選擇似乎不太實際。
Kevin Sherrington of The Dallas Morning News believes that adding a player
like Deng could be better for the Mavericks anyway.
《達拉斯晨報》的記者Kevin Sherrington相信追求像是Luol Deng這樣的球員對小牛而言
可能會是比較好的選擇。
“I think you go to somebody like that, he gives you things that you need
because I don’t think that Shawn Marion’s coming back. This is a guy who is
a good small forward, a good two-way forward, he plays defense. This is like
a younger version of Marion that you’d be getting here. I think it’s
absolutely imperative they get a guy like that. You probably wouldn’t have
to give him a max contract and I think that he’d be perfect. And I think if
we’ve learned anything from the Spurs, it’s that you find the pieces that
fit just for you. Don’t be worried about a Carmelo Anthony, I think that’s
such an old-time thinking in the NBA is to think that we’ve got to have two
superstars or three superstars to really win. I don’t think you always need
that. I think you’ve got to have some really good parts that fit together
really well, then you see how far you can go.”
「我認為小牛應該追求Luol Deng，他是小牛需要的球員，而且我不認為Shawn Marion的
狀態回得來。Deng是一位優秀的小前鋒，一位攻守端優異的小前鋒，他可以防守，他就像
年輕版的Marion，我認為這樣的球員對小牛而言是完全必要的，小牛很可能不會給Deng
一分頂薪合約，但他會是完美的，而且我認為如果要說小牛從馬刺的身上學到什麼的話，
那就是你必須找到能和團隊相容的球員。別再去擔心Carmelo Athony，我認為球隊想贏球
不是非得搞雙核心或三巨頭的陣容，那些都已經是過時的思維了。我不覺得小牛需要那樣
，我認為小牛必須擁有一些能讓團隊完美相容的球員，這樣小牛才可以走得更長遠。」
Deng averaged 16.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game
for the Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls last night.
Deng上賽季能替公牛和騎士每場繳出平均16分、5.7個籃板、2.9次助攻和1個抄截的成績。
