Cavs, Andrew Wiggins near deal
By Brian Windhorst | ESPN.com
The Cleveland Cavaliers are planning to sign No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew
Wiggins to a contract in the coming week, according to sources close to the
process.
據熟悉情況的消息人士透露騎士計劃在本周與選秀狀元Andrew Wiggins完成正式簽約儀式
。
Sources told ESPN.com that the Cavaliers' delay in signing the former Kansas
star has nothing to do with the prospect of Wiggins being dealt to the
Minnesota Timberwolves as part of Cleveland's ongoing trade discussions for
Kevin Love.
有人說騎士遲遲沒有和Wiggins簽約是故意拖延時間，因為Wiggins很可能被當作交易籌碼
被送到灰狼，但消息人士否認了這個說法。
The Cavaliers, sources say, are merely exploring options for using their
estimated $1.4 million in remaining cap space before signing Wiggins to a
contract that will pay him in the neighborhood of $5.5 million as a rookie.
騎士可能會給Wiggins開出550萬美元左右的合約，在此之前他們還有140萬元的薪資空間
可以利用，而騎士一直在琢磨這一點，消息人士透露。
The Cavs and Timberwolves have been discussing a Love trade since the return
of LeBron James, with sources saying that Minnesota is insistent on getting
Wiggins back in any deal that sends Love to Cleveland.
自從LBJ回歸騎士後，騎士和灰狼已經有過Love交易案的討論，但有消息說灰狼方面在談判
過程中態度很強硬，無論是什麼樣的交易方案，Wiggins都必不可少。
Once Wiggins signs, though, league rules stipulate that the Cavs must wait 30
days before trading him.
依照聯盟的相關規定，一旦騎士和Wiggins正式簽約，他們在30天內是無法交易Wiggins的
。
One option under consideration for the Cavs, sources say, is using their
leftover salary-cap space to create long-term contracts for recent
second-round picks Joe Harris and Dwight Powell. Signing Wiggins first would
preclude such moves.
也有一個說法是，騎士打算用僅有的薪資空間去給次輪新秀Joe Harris和Dwight Powell
簽長約，而Wiggins則是他們這麼做的最大障礙。
The Cavs' delay in formalizing Wiggins' contract has garnered extra attention
because of the Love factor, but the reality is that this process is a fairly
routine bit of salary-cap management that takes place this time of year with
draft picks.
騎士遲遲沒簽下Wiggins這件事因為Love的因素格外受到關注，但實際情況是這個過程
只是球隊處理薪資空間上限的例行公事，每年的這個時候總是會和選秀籤這件事一起考慮
。
Once the Cavs exhaust their cap space and sign Wiggins, they are expected to
officially sign free agent Mike Miller to a two-year, $5.6 million deal. The
Cavs will be signing Miller with their $2.7 million "room" exception, which
can only be used after teams that previously had salary-cap room use it up.
一但騎士用完剩下的薪資空間去簽Wiggins的話，那他們本來要用2年560萬簽下Mike
Miller的，這樣就只能用270萬空間特例去簽Miller了。
The Cavs also remain interested in free agent Ray Allen, who is being
recruited to Cleveland by former teammates Miller and LeBron James. But
Cleveland will only be able to offer him a $1.4 million veteran's minimum
contract.
騎士目前也對LBJ和Mike Miller的前隊友Ray Allen保持興趣，但騎士只能給他一紙140萬
的老將底薪合約。
