原文http://ppt.cc/4lP3 Knicks' Lin signs new rep to direct free-agency fight 林书豪签下新的经纪公司为他处理新合约 The Knicks' Jeremy Lin, with free agency looming July 1, is beefing up for negotiations by retaining the powerful Washington-based agent Jim Tanner of Williams & Connolly. The undrafted Harvard point guard was using little-known Roger Montgomery, who guided a small agency in San Antonio. A release said Montgomery will continue to work with Lin in conjunction with Williams & Connolly, a Beltway law firm that has former President Bill Clinton among its many political clients. Tanner said he first met with Lin and his family when he came out of college, but didn't sign him. They became reacquainted two months ago, after Lin's left- knee surgery. Powerhouse agency CAA also tried to sign Lin, but failed. Williams & Connolly拥有许多政治领域的客户，包括前美国总统柯林顿。 新任经纪人和Lin其实早有渊源，在他大学毕业时就和Lin与他的家人见过面， 只是当时没有签他，尔後Lin才跟知名度低、公司规模也小的蒙哥签约。不过这次 Lin和Williams & Connolly签约後，也会继续和蒙哥的合作关系。两个月前、 也就是Lin膝伤後，他们再度搭上线。CAA也试图签下Lin，但并未成功。 "What's most interesting in this process is how much interest he has off the court, with so many companies already expressing interest,'' Tanner told The Post. "He had a phenomenal year in terms of his performance. He captured everyone's imagination. Everyone can identify with his story being an underdog, overcoming odds and excelling.'' Tanner declined to comment on Lin's chances of re-signing with the Knicks, saying he is too new to the situation. 经纪人跟纽邮说就算这段时间Lin没上场打球，但还是有许多公司对他有浓厚兴趣……。 不过才刚接手Lin经纪事务的他拒绝对Lin是否续签尼克一事做出评论。 Lin is supposed to play for the U.S. Select Team that will face Team USA during scrimmages starting July 5, but his contract won't be finalized until July 11. There is precedent for free agents pulling out of the Select Team. "I don't want to comment on that yet,'' Tanner said. 被选入美国男篮陪练队的Lin预计7/5开始训练，但是直到7/11签约一事才能底定。 由於曾有前例是尚未签约的球员推掉了陪练的邀约，但Tanner也拒绝评论此事。 Tanner also represents, NBA stars Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Tim Duncan and Ray Allen, the latter a free agent who may have interest in the Knicks if they still have their $5 million mid-level exception after a union hearing. Tanner的客户还有Grant Hill、八爷、TD和本季成为FA的雷枪，如果尼克赢得鸟权仲裁 的话，也许有机会以500万中产签下他。 Montgomery and Tanner will collaborate on Lin's new contract that could get tricky if another team (which has to be under the cap) offers him a back-loaded proposal. The Knicks can match any offer, but a team under the cap can go as high as $15 million in the third year of a deal. The first two years can't be higher than the average salary (roughly $5 million). The Knicks may or may not have to use their mid-level exception on Lin, pending Lin's Bird Rights hearing. Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald, a well-decorated lawyer out of Northwestern, has said he will re-sign Lin, but Montgomery recently told The Post he didn't consider that a slam-dunk. 蒙哥和Tanner在处理Lin的新约上将会面临吊诡的情况：如果有不受工资帽限制的球队 提出前两年5M、第3年15M的合约，虽然说尼克有权跟任何报价，但是鸟权的结果将大大 左右尼克是否会续签Lin的意愿。 尼克GM曾说他会把Lin签回来，但之前接受纽邮采访的蒙哥也表示一切仍是未定之天。 Montgomery needed help mostly because Lin is a marketing gold mine. There has been criticism Lin hadn't cashed in with enough endorsements. 以Lin高度的商业价值来看，他并没有获得相应的代言，这是纽邮认为蒙哥最需要帮忙的 地方。 The new firm will represent Lin in all areas of contractual agreements, marketing endorsements, licensing, personal appearances, media relations, community investments, and other business opportunities. "I believe Jim and the team at Williams & Connolly are the best fit for me in all aspects of my career," Lin said in a statement. "With the quality and character of their firm and clients, their extensive basketball experience and tremendous success in athlete representation, I am confident that Williams & Connolly will provide me with the guidance I need to continue to develop personally and professionally. I am excited to have them work with Roger Montgomery and my current team 这一段是Lin发的新闻稿，证实新的经纪公司会帮他处理各个领域的事物，而他也会继续 和蒙哥合作，就不细翻了。 ************************************************************************* 有错请指正:D --
