标题[新秀] Suns have "great" shot at European star
时间Thu Apr 8 22:42:02 2004
很长的一篇文章,感觉有点乱,以我的英文程度也没办法完全看懂,
原文如下,有兴趣的板友可以考虑翻译一下....
大意大概是说,下个球季Milos Vujanic很有可能跟太阳签约,
他也是一名攻击型後卫,本季平均17.8分、1.8抄截、还有....2.7次助攻....-_-
(关於这点,他们的解释似乎是因为欧洲比较不重视助攻....)
剩下大概就是讲一些有关合约的事,还有其他球员的一些五四三,
例如,他说老柯想把白胖子交易出去,这样就能多出约600万的空间,
(不过我想了一下,白胖子剩最後一年约,要怎麽换才能省钱!?不懂....)
这篇文章中并没有提到Divac,我比较关心他到底有多想跟Milos做队友,
至於有关今明两年签下Kobe和T-mac的部分,我只能尊重他作梦的权利....XD
Vujanic的经纪人
(应该是吧,还是教练之类的!?)对他非常有信心,
他说太阳虽然已经有小手套,但是Milos跟他是完全不同等级的球员....
好样的,我等着。

A representative of Milos Vujanic says the point guard, one of
Europe's best, has a "great chance" of signing with the Suns in the
upcoming offseason.
"The time is ripe for him to come; the Suns don't have any elite
point guards," said David Bauman, the manager of the European division
of the sports agency SFX’s basketball group.
Also, at age 24, "The clock is ticking on Milos," Bauman said.
"We don’t want him to wait any longer."
For Vujanic (pronounced Voo-ON-ich) to sign, "The key is getting a
multiyear package," Bauman said.
To get to the NBA, the Suns and the player will have to buy out
his contract with his Italian team, Skipper Bologna, Bauman said.
NBA rules limit the Suns’ payment to $350,000 so the player will
have to pay whatever else is required, the agent said.
Because Vujanic was a second-round draft pick (by the New York Knicks),
he is not limited to the rookiesalary scale of a first-rounder.
There are precedents for a non-first-rounder from Europe signing
a multiyear, multimillion-dollar deals, he said, pointing to Marko Jaric
of the Los Angeles Clippers, who has a three-year, $6 million deal.
Vujanic makes about $1 million in Europe, but players’ earnings there
are tax free, he said. So, "If you make $1 million tax free in Europe,
it’s equivalent to about $2 million in the NBA."
"The chances are great" that Vujanic will come, Bauman said. "Most of
it depends on Bryan Colangelo and the Suns.
"Bryan is creating cap room that hopefully will be used for some of
our clients."
In addition to Vujanic, this is an apparent reference to such
superstars as Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady, who also are represented
by SFX. Bryant is expected to become a free agent this summer, McGrady
a year later.
What about it? Is the Lakers star considering bolting to the Suns?
"Who wouldn’t want to play for the Suns?" answered Bauman, who said
the franchise has a "phenomenal organization."
He pointed out that reserve center Jahidi White is an SFX client.
And though White doesn’t play all that much, "Jahidi loves Phoenix,"
Bauman said.
Bryant himself recently said he would consider the Suns, but he spoke
in the context that he would consider virtually every NBA team.
The Suns’ signing Bryant or another free agent "will affect how much
money Milos can get," Bauman acknowledged.
As things stand, the Suns may be slightly more than $8 million under
the salary cap in the offseason. They are believed to be trying to
trade White, so they can get about $14 million under the cap. Any such
deal probably would involve sending away draft picks.
Colangelo said he didn’t want to put any odds on signing Vujanic.
Suns chairman Jerry Colangelo has said he believes there’s a good chance
the player will be in the fold for next season.
Bauman said his client "has developed the skills of an elite point guard.
"He said he recognizes the Suns already have a promising young point guard
in Leandro Barbosa, but that, "Milos is at a much different playing level
than Barbosa."
Vujanic is known as a scoring point guard. He’s averaged 17.8 points,
1.8 steals and — in a stat that might make Suns’ fans pause — only
2.7 assists. Bauman suggested statisticians in Europe don’t give out
assists as freely as in the NBA.
BONUS SHOTS: The Suns hope Shawn Marion, who has been battling bronchitis,
is able to play. Also, the status of Jake Voskuhl, who
continues to struggle with a sore left foot, and White,
who has a bruised right knee, is undetermined.
