The Good: Right now, the Thunder are considered 「THE」 up-and-coming team of
the future. With Kevin Durant, they should be. He is quickly proving that he is
good enough to be the best player on a championship contending team. Their
improvement from 2009 to 2010 reflects his development from a good young player
to a superstar. The team also has a budding young star at the point guard
position with Russell Westbrook who the team has under contract for another 3
seasons at just 5 million per. This team has just 40 million in payroll and no
glaring salaries. The team also features two excellent complimetary pieces with
Jeff Green and James Harden, who are also in their rookie contracts. OKC also
has youngsters Serge Ibaka and Eric Maynor under contract for the next 4 years
and both appear to be quickly developing into solid contributors at the NBA
level. With their core players still extremely young, they were able to put a
scare into the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs. They could be primed
to make another jump next season into true contender territory.
优势:现在,雷霆被认为是一只前途大好的球队。有KD在阵中,(被这样想)也是理所当然。
KD在很短的时间内已经证明他够资格成为一只有冠军相的球队里的王牌。雷霆2009年到2010
年的进步反映出KD从一个潜力新秀锐变为一个超级巨星。雷霆阵中还有另外一个明日之星—
控卫Russ,他最少还会待在雷霆三年,一年只要5M。雷霆目前的薪资总额只有40M,而且没
有什麽拖油瓶。雷霆还有两个对球队有重要贡献的球员—Jeff Green与James Harden,他俩
现在也是新秀约。他们还有很多潜力新秀,像Serge Ibaka与Eric Maynor,这两个在雷霆至
少还要待上四年,而他们已经展现出出色的潜力,也很有机会成为联盟中的出色球员。这只
球的的核心成员都非常年轻,而且他们今年第一轮让湖人吓出一身冷汗。他们能够成为一流
的队伍,让自己在下一季成为真正的冠军竞争者。
The Bad: When your worst contracts are Nick Collison at 6.7 million and Nenad
Krstic at 5.8 million, there isn't a whole lot to be upset about. 5 points and
5 rebounds is not nearly enough for a player making nearly 7 million, granted
Collison is a toughnosed polayer and quality clubhouse influence. Their
starting center, Krstic has not been what the team had hoped when they signed
him as a free agent out of Europe coming off a leg injury. The team’s front
court is really mediocre, as the Lakers exposed late in their series. Jeff
Green is a nice piece, but not built to anchor a front line. Nenad Krstic and
Nick Collison are the only real burdens on their salary cap and both are in
need of upgrades as they are borderline rotation players. The good news is that
both are entering the final years of their contracts.
劣势:当一只球队里最难看的合约是Nick Collison 的6.7M与Nenad Krstic的5.8M,实在没
什麽好沮丧的。5分5篮板的数据,想拿7M确实有点困难,但Collison在场上是一个硬汉,也
是休息室的领袖。先发中锋Krstic从欧洲回归,腿伤也复原,但并没有作到当初签约时球队
对他的期待。雷霆的前场确实不出色,跟湖人对战的比赛更突显了这个缺点。Green是个很
棒的球员,但他无法克制(湖人的)前场。Nick Collison与Nenad Krstic是雷霆仅有的较大
的合约,如果雷霆对前场进行补强,他们将会被挤到轮值的末端。好消息是他们的合约都走
到最後一年了。
The other spurious variable in the mix as to whether Oklahoma City decides to
make a major move is finances. Part of the reason the Thunder organization has
been so patient in building with young players is that Clay Bennett and his
investors paid $45 million to the City of Seattle to move the franchise. Not
only that, but they paid $350 million for a Seattle franchise now appraised by
Forbes to be worth $310 million in part because of the smaller market. The
organization has a superstar, great enthusiastic fans, a relatively new arena,
and a low payroll. They also appear to have some financial worries because the
owners incurred great cost to bring the team where they are and now want to
recoup some of those losses. It is not something any front office figure would
go public with, but the alleged $400 million losses the NBA is claiming is not
due to fan interest or gate receipts. It is from owners who bought in over the
past ten years doing so in an inflated market. Bennett not only bought the team
at a high price, but he went from Seattle to Oklahoma City with his purchase.
This is not an issue that should be ignored. A stagnated economy where capital
assets are depreciating in value, $45 million to leave Seattle, and playing in
a smaller market might have some meaning in the franchise’s big picture.
另外一个假设变因是说,雷霆将视财政状况来决定要不要做什麽大变动。主要的几个理由:
雷霆的FO很有耐心的以年轻球员建立基础,这是因为老板Clay Bennett跟他的投资团队当年
付了45M搬家费,还付了350M给西雅图-而富比士现在评估西雅图的市场价值不过310M,认
为那里是个小市场。雷霆现在有超级巨星,有死忠球迷,有相对上比较新的球场,而且薪资
总额很低。不过他们感觉上似乎有点担心,因为团队为了把球队搬来,付出了巨大的金额,
现在他们也希望能够收回一些损失。虽然FO不会讲明,但联盟400M的亏损不是因为球迷没兴
趣或门票销售额不佳可以解释的。这是由於过去十年间球队老板的行为造成市场价值的过度
膨胀。Clay Bennett不是一个唯一买贵的老板,但他还要多付把球队从西雅图搬到OKC的钱
。这不是一个无关紧要的问题。在目前经济的停滞造成固定资产贬值的情况下,45M的搬家
费与搬移到一个小市场城市也许对於FO的经营策略有所影响。
The team could stay the course and balance the bank book while the roster is
still on the rookie scale. Few people would criticize that decision, but no
superstar has been able to win a title without a quality, experienced
supporting cast.
他们可以保持原样,让财政保持稳定,反正现在他们的球员大多都是新秀约。很少人会质疑
这个决定。但一个超级巨星如果没有一些有能力有经验的球员帮忙,想拿冠军很难的。
The Future: This team has a bright future with lots of cap space, and a roster
filled with young, developing talent. The team's finances, however, may keep it
from being able to make the necessary moves to capitalize on their tremendous
young nucleus. The team must decide how aggressive it wants to be about
contending for titles before their young stars reach their second contracts,
and their core demands more money. If they can bring in some experienced
veterens with contracts that run up in time for them to extend their
superstars, everything should work out. As of July 1, they will only have three
players on their roster who will not be in their rookie deals, and only Thabo
Sefolosha will be signed beyond 2010-11. Such a dynamic gives them a surplus of
young players who would be attractive to rebuilding teams if they choose to
deal quantity for quality.
展望:雷霆有着光明的未来跟大笔薪资空间,球员依然年轻有潜力。但保留薪资空间对於跟
这些年轻球员续约也是必要的。他们必须决定,在年轻球员换约,薪资涨价以前,对於争夺
冠军要多积极。如果他们今年能够补进一些经验老道的球员来辅助他们的王牌,未来将会更
顺利。7月1日以前他们只有3个球员不是新秀约,而且只有Thabo合约会超过2011年。这个情
形让他们有机会利用这些年轻球员来看看能不能用潜力换实力。
