Bulls have big plans for Butler By K.C. Johnson, Chicago Tribune reporter 7:26 p.m. CDT, May 16, 2013 The Bulls' backcourt will be the most fluid position on the team this offseason, with the status of unrestricted free agents Nate Robinson and Marco Belinelli uncertain and Richard Hamilton receiving a $1 million buyout. 公牛的後场在修赛期间有很多不确定因素,因为有Nate Robison,Marco Belinelli 这些不受限的自由球员,以及Richard Hamilton将由一百万美金买断 But coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed one certainty: Jimmy Butler will be starting next season. 席总证实Jimmy Butler将成为下季的先发球员 "I don't see why not," Thibodeau said Friday. "The way he played this year, he earned that spot. He has great versatility. He became much more confident and competent — running pick-and-rolls, catch-and-shoot, putting it on the floor, posting up. His improvement offensively was tremendous. And his defense has gotten better and better, and will continue to improve." 席总在礼拜五说:我不知道有何不可,他在今年赢得这位置,他在各方面都相当杰出, 他表现得很有自信也很称职,无论是跑挡拆或是空手走位,putting it on the floor (不知这句意思),低位单打,他都做得很好,他的进步相当惊人,还有他的防守也越来 越好,而且还在持续进步中 Of course, there remains an outside chance Butler starts at small forward if the Bulls were to trade Luol Deng. Kirk Hinrich could start at shooting guard alongside Derrick Rose in that scenario. 当然,如果球队交易卤蛋的话,他也有可能顶上先发小前锋,Kirk Hinrich则会打SG Derrick Rose则打他的PG Butler, whom Thibodeau said already talked about his summer plans Thursday, will be starting somewhere. 席总说他们在暑假有替Butler准备一个计划 注:也有准备Rose的计画 "He had a terrific year and it started last summer," Thibodeau said. "His commitment to work and improvement was special. You just love his attitude and approach." 席总:他打出了一个惊人的球季,而且将坐稳先发,他的任务与进步都相当特别, 你会很喜欢他的求胜心与态度 Bon voyage? Thibodeau said the free-agent market will determine whether Belinelli or Robinson returns. Both are expected to draw interest beyond the Bulls' financial plan. Bon Voyage?席总说公牛在自由市场的操作取决於Belinelli与Robinson的情况 Thibodeau called Belinelli's season "tremendous" and said adding shooting would be an offseason priority. The Bulls will have the NBA taxpayer salary-cap exception of just above $3 million if they choose to use it but mostly will be filling the roster with veteran's minimum salaries. 席总说Belinelli本季的表现相当好,他在休赛期间也要强化投篮,席总说公牛只有 三百万的薪资可用,否则就要付豪华税,所以他们只能签下一个老将中产合约 "I would love to return," Robinson said. "But knowing the guys we have here, there's probably limited space for me." 跳豆表示:我很乐意留在这里,但後场可能会过於拥挤 Hamilton credited teammates for helping him deal with falling out of the playoff rotation until the final two games. "I can play because what I do, nobody does. It's a lost art," Hamilton said. "I can get my shot off on anybody because the league's getting younger but guys don't really know the game. So it's easy." Hamilton说:我还可以打,因为我能做到别人做不到的事,我有别人没有的技巧, 我可以在任何人防守下投篮,因为这联盟的年轻人越来越多,但没甚麽人真的知道如何打球 ,所以这是个简单事 Layups: Thibodeau, on whether reserve center Nazr Mohammed will return: "Nazr was tremendous. But you don't know what the market will call for." … Thibodeau said rookie Marquis Teague would return to Chicago shortly for team-supervised workouts and also participate in the Vegas Summer League. 席总说:Nazr Mohammed本季的表现也很好,但他不确定他是否能留下 席总说菜鸟Marquis Teague会参加芝加哥短期球队培训,而且会参加Vegas夏季联盟 Copyright c 2013 Chicago Tribune Company, LLC --
