Knicks waive Kurt Thomas NEW YORK -- The Knicks have waived veteran forward Kurt Thomas to clear a roster spot for free-agent big man Solomon Jones, the team announced on Friday. The Knicks signed Jones shortly before Friday night's game against Cleveland. Jones is eligible to suit up for the Knicks against the Cavs and will take Thomas' roster spot. 尼克昨天宣布裁掉老汤，转而签下新同学－Solomon Jone。 所以新同学今天有资格上场了。(他也上场了) Due to a recent rash of injuries to the Knicks' front line, the team decided to release Thomas to create room for a healthy big man. The 40-year-old Thomas suffered an acute stress reaction in his right foot in mid-March and had been inactive for the past 12 games. "We thank Kurt for all that he has done," Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald said in a statement released by the team. "I have the utmost respect for Kurt as a player and as a man." 由於这段时间伤病潮太严重，尼克决定释出老汤来增加一名健康的大个子。 这位40岁的老将在三月中旬时脚有骨折，缺席了最近的12场比赛。 GG:"我们真的很感谢老汤为我们做得一切，我对於老汤身为一个球员一个男人献上我最高的 尊敬。" Thomas provided a huge lift for the Knicks in his last game of the season. Playing with a major injury in his right foot, Thomas scored six points and grabbed three rebounds in New York's win in Utah. The victory on March 18 snapped a four-game losing streak and was the first of 13 straight wins for the Knicks. Many players credited Thomas' performance against the Jazz as a key to their winning streak. "Kurt's contributions to the Knicks have been immeasurable," Grunwald said. "From the first day of training camp, to his last game against the Utah Jazz, Kurt has been a key contributor to our team. "The team's success this season has been driven by veteran leadership on and off the court -- it is something that cannot be quantified or read in a box score." 老汤最近在尼克证明了它可以做到甚麽，我们会记得老汤在3/18对上爵士，即使脚已经受伤 了，仍旧力抗爵士的肉柱内线，当场他抓下了3个篮板，拿了6分。这场胜利是尼克13连胜 的第一场胜利。 大多数的球员都称老汤在爵士那场的表现堪称完美，并且说爵士那场是他们连胜的关键。 GG:"老汤对我们的贡献是无可计量的，从他第一天到训练营，到他最後一场血战爵士， 老汤一直都是球队中的关键人物。" "球队可以成功地取得大西洋区龙头都跟这些老将在场下的领导有关阿，这就是我们在BOX上 看不到的，也没办法分析的。" An MRI of Thomas' foot taken the day after the Utah game revealed an acute stress reaction. The team had hoped that Thomas could return sometime during the postseason. But with Tyson Chandler (neck), Kenyon Martin (ankle) and Marcus Camby (foot) sidelined by injury, the team could not afford to wait for Thomas. The Knicks had agreed in principle to a deal with free-agent forward James Singleton on Wednesday. Singleton was in Chicago on Thursday preparing to join the Knicks, but the deal fell through because of a procedural issue with Singleton's team in the Chinese Basketball Association, according to a league source. Singleton could not gain clearance through the FIBA to leave the Chinese Basketball Association and join the Knicks. There is a chance that the Knicks could still agree to terms with Singleton, but nothing is imminent. 老汤的脚在经过MRI後，确定有个压力性反应，尼克原先希望老汤可以在某个时候回来， 但是之後的伤痛潮(老钱－脖子，K骂－脚踝，CAMBY－足底筋膜炎)，让尼克没办法再等了。 尼克原先想签下James Singleton，但因为他在CBA的合约问题，尼克没办法快速地签下他。 尼克当然还有机会可以牵，但这也代表他们得要再裁一个人，目前来看是没这个必要。 So the Knicks turned their attention to Jones on Friday. Jones most recently played in the Chinese Basketball Association with Liaoning. The 6-foot-10 Jones played in the NBA in 2011-12 with the New Orleans Hornets and Los Angeles Clippers. Jones will be eligible for the Knicks' postseason roster. Thomas' future is unclear. The 18-year veteran recently expressed interest in playing next season. He played seven seasons with the Knicks between 1998 and 2005. Thomas was a key contributor to the Knicks teams that reached back-to-back Eastern Conference finals in 1999 and 2000. He currently ranks ninth on the franchise's all-time rebounding list with 4,272 caroms and 15th in games played with 569 appearances. 所以尼克选择SJ。 新同学的介绍略过 老汤之後的去向还不确定，但老汤之前曾表示他还想继续打 老汤以前在尼克曾打到总冠军赛，也曾带领尼克B2B抵达东区冠军。 http://ppt.cc/olrC 感谢老汤Q.Q 来制服组吧... -- ─∥ ─── ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ψsherry821224 ────────────── ∥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ∥ ◤ ◢◤\ ◣◥ Teammates don't ∥ ╱ ∥◤￣◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥ ╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼▼ play with each ∥◆◇ ∥ ∥∥◣∥ ∥╱ ∥◣＿ ─-.╳ ︶- other, they play ∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥ ╲ ◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲▲ FOR each other. ─∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣＿╱∥ ╲╲＿◢∥ ◥ | ◢────────…‥． --
