Houston Rockets - Jeremy Lin Trade & What it Means for James Harden
休士顿火箭 - Lin的交易以及它对胡子意谓著什么
The logical thing to do after another early exit from the playoffs for the Houston Rockets? Getting rid of Kevin McHale, making James Harden understand that this team isn’t just about him and giving Jeremy Lin a bigger role in running the offense. However, the NBA isn’t the most logical of places at times, and there’s nothing from what’s happened over the last two years that suggests right decisions are what we should expect from this franchise.
对休士顿火箭来说，在季后赛提早出局以后，有什么合乎逻辑的事等著去做？开除Mchale，让胡子了解到这支球队不是只有他，并且给予Lin在发动攻击上更吃重的角色。然而，NBA有时候并不是最合乎逻辑的地方，面对过去两年来所发生的事，我们期待这支球队(franchise)被认为应该做的正确决定，什么事都没发生。
What will happen? We’ll be hearing about trade rumors once again. About how the Houston Rockets, who are on the books for $8.5 million to Lin this season (Cap number) but are actually paying him $15 million, are looking for a third superstar or a different point guard. Morey has never said he wants to trade Lin. He doesn’t want to get rid of Asik, we know that. Kevin McHale has never said something good about Lin without being pressed into it by those asking the questions. The direction is quite clear.
什么事将会发生？我们将会再一次听到交易流言。关于休士顿火箭 — 这个赛季帐面上付给Lin 850万美元(薪资实占数目)，但实付给他1500万美元 — 是如何追求第三巨头或是另一个控球后卫。莫雷从未说过他想要交易Lin。他不想要舍弃阿西，这些我们都知道。在没有媒体提问的逼问下，Mchale从未说过Lin的好话。这走向看来再清楚不过了。
Is this good for Lin? Depends on where he lands and what role he’ll be given. No matter what, no one is getting the best of Lin if their plan for the player is keeping him as an off-the-ball kind of part, a spot up shooter or anything else McHale tried to invent for him. Being a starter or bench player matters less if the minutes are right, and Lin is put in the right role.
这对Lin来说是好事吗？取决于他落脚何处以及他将被赋予什么角色。不管怎么说，如果他们对于这个球员的计画是让他继续当个拿不到球之类的角色、定点射手，或是任何Mchale为他发明(invent)的角色的话，没有人能够得到最佳状态的Lin。如果上场时间分配得当，而且Lin被放在正确角色上的话，打先发或替补其实并不重要。
The most talked about option for quite some time has been the one connecting the Rockets with Rajon Rondo, who has a $12 million expiring contract with him. Some have suggested a Lin-Asik deal to Boston, who are open to offers on Rondo but have yet to see one they like. Lin might become a starting point guard who gets to run an offense for the Celtics, although the team right now isn’t a very good one.
一直以来最常被谈论到的选择是火箭与软豆 — 拥有一年1200万美元即将到期的合约 — 的连线。有些人建议将Lin与阿西交易到波士顿，他们开放对软豆的报价，但尚未看见他们满意的。Lin也许能够成为塞尔蒂克发动攻击的先发控卫，尽管目前这并不是一支非常好的球队。
The Rockets? They have a defensive-minded guard next to Harden in Beverley. A player who doesn’t mind not touching the ball and waiting for the right moment to catch and shoot. Rondo might be a good defender when he wants to be, but he isn’t someone who makes any sense in an offense that already has the ball in the hands of one player for most of the time. That’s before going into the ego thing which might be less than science and confirmed facts, but connecting the dots of Rondo’s career do draw up
a very clear picture.
火箭呢？他们拥有一个具有防守意识的后卫跟着胡子旁边 — 小贝。一个不在乎碰不到球并且等待正确时机就C&S的球员。只要有心，软豆也许可以是个好的防守者，但在一个多数时间已经有一个球员持球的进攻体系里，他的角色毫无意义。这还没有讨论到比科学跟客观事实还不重要的自尊心，但回想软豆职业生涯的点点滴滴，这已经是个非常清楚可以想见的局面。
There’s also an interesting option with George Hill from the Indiana Pacers. I’m not sure if this is just one of these offers that makes sense or one that’s actually being discussed. It makes sense money-wise, but it might not make sense for at least one of the sides. Hill doesn’t mind being a spot up kind of point guard, and he is a better defender than Lin. Lin might get the ball in his hands more than he does in Houston, and might actually help make the Pacers’ offense a bit less predictable and
stagnant. With the right coach, he should also turn into a much more effective defender.
还有一个令人感兴趣的选择 — 溜马的George Hill。我不确定这只是众多可行方案的其中之一，或是真的有被讨论过。单就钱这方面来说是明智的，但对至少其中一边来说也许是没有意义的。Hill不介意成为一个定点投射型的控球后卫，同时他是个比Lin还要好的防守者。Lin比起在休士顿也许可以得到更多球权，同时也许可以协助溜马在进攻端上不那么容易预测与停滞不动。加上一个好的教练，他也应该能够变成一个更有效率的防守者。
The Rockets are dreaming big, but are ignoring all the signs and clues they’ve been given. There’s something awfully wrong in the way this team has been built and in the man running the show on the sidelines. Regardless of what the decision does to Jeremy Lin’s career, the Rockets need a change in concept and coaching, not players, to make them more than just a first round exit kind of team.
火箭有个远大的梦，却忽略了所有提供给他们的迹象与线索。这支球队迄今建构的方式，以及一个当旁观者却掌控著一切的家伙(Mchale)，在这之中有些事情错得可怕。不管最后这个决定对Lin的职业生涯造成什么影响，火箭在观念与执教上(而非球员们)需要一个改变，让他们成为不只是一支第一轮就出局之类的球队。
