"黄蜂是16支对洛杉矶快艇队的非限制自由球员-Bobby Simmons 有兴趣的球队之一" "We've talked a little about Bobby Simmons, but everything is preliminary right now," Bartelstein said regarding discussions with the Hornets. "He's a very sought-after guy and was the league's Most Improved Player." "我们谈论了一些关於Bobby Simmons的事情,但所有的事情才刚开始而已" "他是一个非常受欢迎的球员,并且曾经是联盟最佳进步奖得主" Hornets general manager Allan Bristow has said one of the team's biggest needs is obtaining a small forward. Simmons, who averaged 16.1 points last season, is considered to be the top available free-agent small forward. 我们的GM说球队非常需要一个小前锋 Simmons上一季的平均得分有16.1分,在自由球员里是最好且可以得到的小前锋 Last week, the Hornets re-signed small forward Bostjan Nachbar, but they are likely to pursue another player to solidify the spot. 上个星期,球队续签了小前锋-Bostjan Nachbar, 但是我们很可能去追求其他的球员来补小前锋的洞。 Bartelstein also represents free-agent point guard Dan Dickau. The agent said he has had only preliminary talks with the Hornets about him. Dickau said last week he would explore offers from other teams and wants a chance to become a starter. WANTED: The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in rehiring Hornets assistant coach Jim Cleamons. The Lakers have not yet asked for permission to interview Cleamons, team officials said. 传言指出湖人队对於我们的助理教练 Jim Cleamons有兴趣 球团人士表示 "湖人队还未徵求Cleamons的同意" Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who was rehired last month, is trying to put together his staff and is looking mainly at assistants who have worked for him. Cleamons was an assistant on Jackson's staff with the Chicago Bulls and Lakers. "It's something they'll have to talk to Allan and Mr. (George) Shinn about," Hornets coach Byron Scott said. "I think we've got a great staff, so I don't want to lose him. There's no doubt about that, but we'll have to see what happens." FULLY STAFFED: Besides Scott and his assistants, also in Las Vegas this week are Bristow, vice president of basketball operations Willis Reed and director of player personnel Jeff Bower. Besides evaluating Hornets players, they are also scouting free agents participating in the Vegas summer league. "If there is somebody that we're interested in, we'll definitely take a look at him," Scott said. "I think that's what summer league is all about -- No. 1, to get your young players more experience, and No. 2, to look at some other free agents." MASTER P: New Orleans rapper Percy "Master P" Miller is on the Sacramento Kings' summer league team competing in Las Vegas. In the Kings' 81-75 loss in Wednesday's opening game against the Phoenix Suns, Miller did not play. --
