Warriors: Waiting on Anderson? By Preetom Bhattacharya Jul 28, 2007, 19:32 Possible trade talks between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cav aliers regarding Drew Gooden have not moved along very swiftly, an informed source close to the situation told Basketball News on Saturday. "There's not hing really substantial there," the source said, but did admit that Gooden's name has been mentioned in various trade rumors. 骑士跟勇士之间关於Gooden的谈判进展很慢。「还没有任何正式确定的部分谈出结 果」消息来源说。 League sources indicated on Thursday that Gooden may be moved to the War riors for the Traded Player Exception the Warriors acquired in the Jason Ric hardson trade on Draft Night. Such a move would provide the Cavaliers with n eeded financial flexibility to re-sign Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic, both restricted free agents. The Cavaliers payroll is just $3-million below the newly set $67.865-million luxury tax threshold; after deals are dished o ut to Varejao and Pavlovic, the team could be about $5- to $6-million over t hat threshold, paying a dollar for dollar tax on the difference. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has reportedly given GM Danny Ferry permission to go into luxury tax territory to field a winner, but it is yet to be seen whether Ferry actu ally does this. 骑士如果要签V跟Sasha就会付豪华税，老板准许Ferry跨过门槛，但是Ferry会不会 照着做就不得而知。 Trade talks with the Warriors may not pick up until an offer is made to Varejao, forcing the Cavs hand into making a decision. With the market offic ially slowing down now that all the teams with capspace have made their move s, Varejao is unlikely to get a deal for more than the Mid-Level Exception, an offer the Cavaliers would very likely match. The Warriors could very well be the team that makes that initial offer to Varejao. 为了迫使骑士加快谈判脚步，勇士说不定会开出一张全额中产给大V。这个夏天的自 由市场动静已经趋缓，有薪资空间的球队都用掉了，骑士应该会乐於match勇士的offer 。 The dilemma for Varejao now becomes whether he should play for a smaller salary next season on a one-year qualifying offer from the Cavaliers (making him an unrestricted free agent next season) or if should accept a long-term mid-level deal now. Varejao's camp expected to sign a deal similar to the one Darko Milicic received, which was a three-year, $21-million contract. Expecti ng that kind of money next summer could prevent Varejao from signing an MLE d eal this summer. 关键在於大V能不能接受今年只拿135万，明年成为不受限FA，或者领长一点的中产 约。目前大V阵营想要的是米粒拿的那种三年2100万的约。 The Warriors could use either Varejao or Gooden after being manhandled in the paint by the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference Semifinals. Both players could provide the hustle in the paint that the Warriors desperately need - al though the team added Brandan Wright in the draft, his thin frame might not a llow him to bang in the inside effectively. 这段说勇士拿到Gooden或大V之後可以头好壮壮，打倒西区强权。 Cleveland may not give Gooden up for nothing more than the exception, wit h the deal hinging upon the Warriors sending something over for a second roun d pick in a separate deal. Possibilities on that front could be Sarunas Jasik evicius or Patrick O'Bryant,both of whom do not seem to fit Don Nelson's syst em and could be contributors for the half-court oriented Cavaliers. 骑士不会就只拿个TE，可能会拿第二轮选秀权或球员，例如Sarunas Jasikevicius 或 Patrick O'Bryant这种老尼用不太到的。 ============================================================================= 我的看法：这样真的能逼骑士快点行动吗？作者自己也知道现在是大V那边想要的 超过中产，但勇士最多也就只能开全额中产，所以骑士几乎一定会很高兴的match，最 後变成勇士帮骑士省钱又省谈约时间。 当然也可以解释成勇士用这招逼骑士跨过豪华税门槛，那就要看骑士是否真的怕豪 华税怕的要死了。 --
