Jeremy Lin Could Stumble on '$10MM Per Year Problem' This Offseason

Jeremy Lin, who went through an up-and-down year with the Los Angeles
Lakers, needs to take a paycut for his next contract or else it's going
to be a very long offseason for the Asian-American standout.
林书豪,身为一位本季在湖人队大起大落的球员,下一份合约的薪水有可能下降,
或者这位亚裔运动员将会在休赛季花费相当长的时间来脱颖而出.
After bagging a career-high $15 million base salary last season (the
final year of the three-year, $25 million contract he signed with the
Houston Rockets in 2012), Lin's next contract is estimated to take a
major dip as a result of a forgetful run with the purple-and-gold.
在他生涯最高薪的15M本季走完后(火箭在2012年给的3年25M合约最后一年薪水),
林的下一份合约估计会以跳过淌了整季纸巾军团浑水的结果来进行.
Although Lin's 2014-15 season numbers (11.1 points & 4.6 assists on 42
percent from the field / 36 percent 3-point line per ESPN Stats) aren't
shabby at all for an NBA point guard, unmet expectations along with his
failure to live up to the hype surrounding his tenure with the Lakers has
somewhat dented his free-agency stock.
虽然Lin在这一季打出的数据(场均11.1分,4.6助,42%命中率与36%三分命中率)在NBA的
控卫中并不糟糕,在湖人失败且未满足期待的赛季,会削弱他在自由球员市场的身价.
However, Lakers legend and current NBA analyst Mychal Thompson told ESPN
Radio Los Angeles that he still thinks the 26-year Lin would lobby for an
eight figure per year contract, regardless of what NBA analyst and
executives values him.
然而,湖人传奇球星,现任的NBA球评汤普森(K汤他爸)在洛杉矶ESPN广播中,
认为26岁的林书豪会在NBA球团的球探或高层评估中,寻求一份每年8位数的合约.
According sources close to situation, Lin believes his strong performance
after the All-Star break, when he averaged 14.4 points and 5.2 assists per
game in the month of March, only proved that he deserves an $8MM to $10MM
per year contract.
依可靠消息来源指出,林书豪相信他在明星赛周之后到三月间的强力表现,
打出了场均14.4分与5.2助的成绩,可以证明他是有资格拿每年8~10M的合约的.
Very messy offseason is in the offing if Lin continues to push for an eight
figure asking price. While there's no doubt Lin is still one of the better
playmakers to hit the free-agency market this summer, his valuation might be
too much over the top to the extent that he may scare away interested teams
and run out of offers in the end. It's a problematic scenario that can only
be averted if he somehow agrees to accept at least $5MM a year deal, which
is the fair valuation of Lin, according to most NBA insiders and GMs.
若林书豪继续推动八位数的要价,这紊乱的休赛期即将来到.虽然林书豪依然是今年自由
球员市场中更好的进攻组织者之一,这点毫无疑问,但他自估的过高价值可能会吓跑对他
有兴趣的球队.然而,这也同时以一个有疑问的剧本去避免林书豪莫名其妙地同意接受至
少每年5M的合约
