翻译 By Eritrea Could free agency be delayed by the NBA's appeal of the recent Bird Rights arbitration hearing? 最近NBA对鸟权听证会重新提起上诉，自由球员市场的交易进行是否可能因此而被延迟? It's possible. The NBA Players Association could request an injunction on behalf of the players involved, including Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak, to delay free agency until the appeal process is completed. 这是有可能的。 NBA可能要求对相关球员发出禁令，包含林书豪和Novak，都可能因为身处 自由球员市场而被推迟交易，直到上诉过程结束为止。 (注:应该是指全联盟的自由球员而非个别球员,原翻译有点小误) The NBA's appeal could take weeks, possibly months, according to several people with knowledge of the situation on both sides. A panel has to be assembled, the sides have to present their cases and a decision has to be rendered after review. This isn't something that comes together quickly and with July 11 -- the first official signing day -- just over two weeks away, there is little chance for closure on this issue in time. 根据知情者的分析，NBA的上诉过程需要数周甚至数月，必须召集陪审团，两造都必须好好 呈现他们的立场，并在重新检视後做出决定。这并不是一件可以在7/11(第一个正式的官方 签约日)前很快解决的事，上诉时间只要超过两周，在7/11前完成结案的机率就非常小。 The union would not want to open free agency without a resolution and, privately, the Knicks would prefer to wait until they have a definitive answer so they can execute the proper offseason plan. In the midst of an appeal, the CBA says the Knicks need to follow the letter of the law until further notice. That means they would have to use their Mid-Level Exception to re-sign Lin, which could lead to them losing out on other impact free agents, such as Jason Kidd or Lamar Odom. 联盟在尚未寻求到解决方式前，不希望打开自由球员市场，就尼克而言，他们会希望等待到 确切的答案，这样才可以适当的执行他们再非赛季时的计画(译注：就我的理解应该是，可 能会依球员不同，在练习及战术等安排上有所区别)。在上诉过程中，劳资协议认为尼克必 须要遵守目前的条文规定，直到出现鸟权新的安排为止。这表示她们必须使用中产特例来签 林书豪，这可能让他们无法签其它具有影响力的自由球员，像是Jason Kidd 或Lamar Odom 。 What if the appellate panel upholds the decision of arbitrator Kenneth Dam? The NBA would have a major controversy on its hands. Sure the Knicks may have their MLEs back in play, but what if all their top priority targets were already signed elsewhere? 如果上诉机构中的仲裁者Kenneth Dam支持这个决定怎麽办？ NBA即将面对许多的争议。当 然尼克可能可以在之後使用他们的中产签自由球员(译注:意思是指用早鸟权签林的情况下) ，但万一他们首选的自由球员因此被别队签走怎麽办？ So rather than halt the free agency season while arguing over a definition (the word "trade" as used in the collective bargaining agreement) and negatively impact a franchise's ability to conduct business, the best case scenario for everyone involved is for the NBA and NBPA to meet and negotiate a settlement in this case. 所以与其在争论定义时停止自由球员市场的交易，让机构无法运转而产生许多负面影响，对 大家而言最好的决定应该是NBA和NBA球员工会对此件事召开会议，并达成协议。 (译注：省 去上诉等法律过程的时间，减少自由球员市场无法运转的影响) One reasonable resolution could be for the NBA to grant the arbitrator's decision be effective strictly for the 2012-13 season, if the NBPA accepts that henceforth, the accepted rule is that Bird Rights transfer only via trade and not via waivers. It is such a rare case that we may never see this come up again anyway. Players claimed off waivers don't usually develop a value where Bird Rights are an issue. But this season the emergence of Lin and Novak have created such a scenario, so a one-time exclusion may become the only time it ever comes up again. 我们可能将不会再看到这种争论的产生。因为被挥弃的球员通常不会被认为富有价值，足以 享有鸟权。但本季林书豪和Novak的崛起创造了这样的一幕，所以这难得一见的场景也将可 能成为唯一一次的场景。 The NBA had the right to appeal the decision and followed standard operating procedure. There is a dangerous precedent that could be set by this result because it would open the door for other ambiguities in the CBA to be challenged by the union. The league could not afford to shrug off the decision; especially one that it felt was not an ambiguity. The NBA feels confident about the appeals process, but as one league source told me, "We didn't think we'd lose in the first place." The league fought the Chris Dudley trade to the Knicks in 1997 and after it lost in arbitration -- coincidentally Kenneth Dam presided over that as well -- the NBA appealed and the decision was upheld. This time around, with so much uncertainty and too many variables, it seems unlikely that this appeal will ever reach full execution. The sides simply need to get together and, as they did so often six months ago, negotiate a settlement. ============================================================== FIXINS ‧ Linsanity has gone from a hashtag that trended world wide to an officially registered trademark in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. As reported by the New York Times, Jeremy Lin in February filed to register "Linsanity." He is now the owner of his own brand and you can expect it to re-emerge with ubiquity by next season as his newly-hired marketing agent, Jim Tanner, will be in charge of growing Linsanity to Air Jordan levels around the globe. You know what would be great? If Lin grew to a similar level on the court. *Linsanity即将从风靡全球的标签正式成为美国专利商标局的一个注册商标。根据纽约时报 报导，林书豪在二月时申请注册”Linsanity”一词。他现在是他自己品牌的拥有者，而且 他下季与知名经纪人Jim Tanner签约，他是一位可以在全球将林疯狂助长到乔丹那种高度的 经纪人。你知道这将会有多棒吗?当然前提是林书豪下季必须和本季拥有相似的表现才行。 原文网址: http://www.msg.com/blogs/alan-hahn/an-appeal-for-bird-rights-settlement.html 结论: 这篇是MSG官网ALAN写的...大家自己衡量一下XD 1 有可能没搞好在上诉期间 自由球员市场照样开市的话尼克还是得用中产来签LIN 情况:别队可能跟LIN签了offer 尼克必须三天内Match 但是鸟权却还在上诉中无法使用 2 有可能要求说自由球员市场延缓开市 所有自由球员都会受到影响 这样应该会变成公敌吧= = 3 联盟和球员工会谈判...就今年特例...因为过往几乎没有这样的球员 (除了被特赦的...) 4 联盟真的完全不希望CBA的洞一直被钻...所以要死命抵抗 ※ 编辑: yun0215 来自: 1.164.5.211 (07/25 23:28)
