心得：既然CD犯了大错误 现在很多球迷都呼喊着退票 那现在就做件好事吧 不过老板可能要付豪华税 也就不要吝啬了 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl...kn/4018698.html July 2, 2006, 12:18AM James game no slam dunk Rockets' cap issues make sign-and-trade deal a possibility By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle The Rockets moved a few steps closer to bringing Mike James back to Houston , but they also got a pretty good idea of how far they need to go. The Rockets began the free-agency period at 11:01 p.m. Friday with coach Jeff Van Gundy ringing the bell at James' house in Houston while general manager Carroll Dawson called James' agent, Bill Duffy. The only hitch was that James, whose workout ran late, was not there when Van Gundy reached James' door. But the two did visit a short time later. "Everybody has an open mind," Duffy said. "From what I was told, they had a very good talk." The Rockets have made their preference for the 31-year-old James clear, and James has been unusually outspoken about his interest in playing for the Rockets again. But putting them together won't be that simple. Duffy said the Rockets are one of "numerous teams" that have already reached out to James. Duffy would not specify who else is interested. Atlanta, one of just five teams with cap space, is believed to be pursuing the 6-2 guard . The Rockets are over the cap. Barring a sign-and-trade deal with James' current team (the Raptors), the Rockets can offer only their mid-level exception , expected to begin at roughly $5 million. The Hawks are targeting several point guards and are especially interested in veterans such as James, Speedy Claxton or Sam Cassell as opposed to younger prospects such as Marcus Banks. Especially in a short-term contract, they have the spending room to offer more than the Rockets. Asked if James was open to the mid-level exception, Duffy said, "That's going to be up to Mike James. Right now, he's just keeping an open mind." But the Rockets can try to work a sign-and-trade with the Raptors using their $4.2 million trade exception. The Raptors are unlikely to want contracts back, making the Rockets' trade exception a potential advantage because in a sign-and-trade deal, the Rockets can offer 12.5 percent annual raises, as opposed to the 8 percent raises permitted in free-agent deals. "It's a concept to consider," Duffy said. "We haven't gotten there yet. A sign-and-trade is something we could pursue." Duffy said that as much as James would like to play in Houston, he also wants to consider his options before making a decision in about two weeks. Players cannot sign free-agent contracts until July 12. 其他的就不翻译了，都不重要，其实就是在强调Mike James现在有很多球队在追逐， 离作出决定还早的陧A他不一定会选择提供薪水最高的那个球队（比如老鹰队）。他 很喜欢休斯顿，但也要听听别的报价。7月12日前一切都有可能。 关键的是个信息：火箭有望通过4.2M的那个TE先签後换得到MJ 原因是： A 暴龙队不希望在先签後换的情况下吃进新的合同，这使得火箭的TE变得有交易价值 起来 B 通过先签後换方式签约，MJ的年薪涨幅可以达到12.5％/每年，而不是自由人方式 签约的8％。因此先签後换对于MJ本人来说相当有吸引力。 假如这个计划成功，那麽火箭就可以省下他们的中产，蚔在别的地方，比如去追逐黄 蜂的克拉克斯顿，步行者的Fred Jones，签约希腊的SG新秀，以及内线替补人选等。 ꐊ --
