这次换Brian Meehan来谈谈现在的拓荒者，节录一些重点， 全文等到翻译魔人出炉，再拜托翻译魔人噜 :P Let's take a look at your situation. Your best player, Rasheed Wallace, shows signs of wanting out, but his value is tainted by a tempestuous personality. You won't get his equal if you trade him. 拓荒者最好的球员（他说的）Wallace，表露出他想要离队的讯号，但是他的一些 人格特质让他的交易价值减低，如果拿他去交易显然无法换回等值的球员， 假设 真的无法换回等值的球员（想也知道）， 至少利用他来填补拓荒者阵容上的一些 缺陷吧？更何况拓荒者阵容上有严重的重复性，下文会提到。 Your savviest player, Arvydas Sabonis, has announced he will not return. *惊* Sabas对外宣布了吗？怎麽没看到相关消息？个人情感上很希望能再看到Sabas 续留，但他留在拓荒者真的会对拓荒者带来实际的效应？这我不敢说！ 老将只会越 打越老，不会越打越好，这是个事实。 而且拓荒者看来今年很难找到一个适合的中 锋，Sabas跟DD轮番担任中锋或许是最後一步了。 Scottie Pippen, who held your team together at the point last season, is a free agent with a jaundiced view of your organization. He, too, might pack up. 拓荒者的凝聚力所在，就如上文所提到的，他对管理阶层的不满， 可能会是他离队 的原因，打从球季一结束，就多次的像球队人员表示他想要加入管理阶层， 不过却 没收到太多的回应，最糟糕的是打了几次电话给Paul Allen，Allen连鸟都不鸟他， 最近也传出Bulls新任GM John Paxson想要拜托 Pippen回Bulls指导一些年轻球员。 Your other possible starting point guard, Damon Stoudamire, feels abused by the franchise and wants out of his hometown. Stoudamire在季中被冷冻了很长的一段时间，让他觉得受伤害， 也不止一次的表达 如果不能让他上场的话，就把他交易出去。 Your coach wanted a shooter or a point guard in the recent draft. He got neither. Your top draft choice has great athletic ability but is years from being a starter. Yet you will have to play him because the notion that an NBA team can develop a young player in practice is absurd. 一样是管理阶层与教练沟通不良，虽然B.W在选秀会之前口口声声的说要选个控球、 中锋或射手，不过最後却选了Travis Outlaw，不是说这个选择不好，而是板凳席中 已经有了一个Qentel Woods要养了，怎麽还选来Outlaw来分掉Woods的上场时间呢？ 而且拓荒者在2 3号位置已经够挤了，选了Outlaw虽然他的天分够好，但要几年才能 回收呢？ Now for the good news: In the playoffs, Bonzi Wells showed his best position is shooting guard, but you already have Derek Anderson at that spot. Zach Randolph proved he is an emerging force at power forward, leaving you with a projected starting lineup that includes three power forwards (Wallace, Randolph and Dale Davis) and two shooting guards (Wells and Anderson). 记得这个问题我在季後赛的时候也有提到过，两个大前锋、两个摇摆人，怎麽去调配 阵容？ You thought you had problems when your guys dominated the police blotter; just w ait until they dominate the losing column. Your team is poised to make a historic dive toward the lottery, and you won't be able to stop the swoon. To stem the damage, try this: Start with Wallace. The first order of business is to determine whether he wants to be here. If he does, he must change. He must become a leader, stop goofing around in practice, start reaching out to fans by talking to the media, start playing hard every night, not just when matched against Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett. If Wallace doesn't want to be in Portland, trade him immediately, even if it is for a mascot to be named later. 显示了Wallace打球不专心，他的态度会害了他，之前球队曾经询问他是否想要续留？ 不过他没给球队答覆，搞的现在交易不了，也无法为他重整球队阵容。Brian Meehan 这里说的有点狠，如果Wallace不想留在波特兰的话，换个吉祥物回来也行。 Choose Anderson or Wells. I suggest keeping Wells and trading Anderson. If you are able to inject character into this team, Wells will go with the flow. And he is a much better player than Anderson. 在Anderson及Wells之间，Brian Meehan选择Wells，可是存在个问题，Wells的外线 很不稳，属於看天吃饭型的，再加上他的态度也是个大问题， 如果要我选我宁愿留 下Anderson，而拿Wells去交易。 You do need to keep an eye on the win column. Resolve Stoudamire. Play him or move him, but don't keep trying to reinvent him. Re-sign Pippen. He will help set the new tone. Beg Sabonis to return. The giant Lithuanian still has good miles left on his ancient odometer. 最後就是小老鼠的问题了，其实小老鼠没那麽糟，只是他的身高实在太矮了，遇上单 打能力强的控球或是missmatch会很吃亏， 但是联盟中有哪几队的後卫能够常到禁区 内去单打？至於利用战术造成missmatch的话，这就要交给教练团去伤脑筋了， 上季 季後赛遇到小牛不成气候的Pick and Roll也是防的有模有样， 这问题不是出在小老 鼠上面，而是其他队友上，薪资高的离谱想要交易也很难交易，不如好好善用他吧！ You could blaze another direction and change the team's entire makeup. You might end up with a more fan-friendly team, but your Dudley Dorights will get their ears boxed most nights. You could try deflecting fan scrutiny by persuading owner Paul Allen to bring an NHL team to Portland. On nights that the hardwood covered the ice at the Rose Garden, you could drop the curtain over the upper deck. Who knows, the "theater in the clouds" approach might be an improvement over Portland's long-running theater of the absurd. -- 上面大部分都是我自己的意见，有疏失的话就烦补充。 --
