Source: Charlotte Hornets to add Jeremy Lin as Kemba Walker’s backup
(夏洛特黄蜂增加林书豪成为Kemba Walker的替补)
媒体: 夏洛特观察报
记者: Rick Bonnell
Free-agent point guard Jeremy Lin has agreed to terms with the Charlotte
Hornets, an NBA source confirmed Wednesday evening.
自由球员控卫林书豪已经同意加盟夏洛特黄蜂
Signing Lin would address two priorities for the Hornets: Improving their
outside shooting and adding depth at the point guard position. General
manager Rich Cho had said repeatedly that adding a third point guard was
high on the team’s offseason to-do list.
黄蜂签下林有两项好处:增加他们外线的威胁性,以及增加控卫位置上的阵容深度.
黄蜂总管Rich Cho已经说过他们要在这个夏天带来第三名控卫加盟球队.
Essentially Lin will replace Mo Williams on the roster and be a veteran
behind starter Kemba Walker with 3-point range and pick-and-roll acumen.
Brian Roberts likely would be the third point guard.
基本上林应会取代Mo Williams在上季的轮值,成为Kemba Walker背后的那一位具备
三分射程以及挡拆进攻,经验丰富的球员,替补控卫Brian Roberts可能会变成第三控
卫.
Lin has played five NBA seasons for the Golden State Warriors, New York
Knicks, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. Over that span he has
averaged 11.8 points and 4.8 assists and shot 34.9 percent from 3-point
range.
林在联盟已经打过五个球季,前后效力于金州勇士,纽约尼克,休士顿火箭与洛杉矶
湖人,5年生涯中平均可得11.8分与4.8助,三分球命中率为34.9%.
Lin became a sensation during his “Linsanity” days playing for the Knicks,
but since then he ended up a backup for the Rockets and mostly for the
Lakers. He is very good at what he does best – pick-and-roll offense and
long-range shooting – but his defense is shaky.
林在尼克林来疯那段时间成为话题球员,但他在火箭的最后一季与在湖人大部份时间都是
替补控卫,他在挡拆进攻以及远程投篮可以做到他最好的一面,但他的防守并不好.
Lin’s contract terms were not immediately available. But based on his
coming to terms with the Hornets before the NBA’s moratorium on contract-
signings ended Thursday, it’s a fair assumption he got the full mid-level
exception: A contract with a starting salary of about $5.5 million next
season.
林的合约尚未谈妥,但从黄蜂周四以前定调的合约来看,他应该可以拿到全额中产特例的
合约:开季起薪550万美金的合约.
That’s the most the Hornets could pay any free agent, since they start the
NBA’s new fiscal year above the salary cap, which is about $70 million for
2015-16.
这是黄蜂能给自由球员的最大约,特别是联盟新一季的薪资帽高达7千万美金.
The Hornets had limited options going into free agency, particularly after
making pre-draft trades to acquire Nicolas Batum from Portland and Jeremy
Lamb from Oklahoma City. Those deals added more than $5 million to the
Hornets’ player payroll.
黄蜂投入自由球员市场的额度与选择有限,特别是在选秀前交易来雷霆队的Jeremy Lamb
与拓荒者队的Nicolas Batum,这些交易总计下来增加了黄蜂5百万美金的球员薪资.
Initially the Hornets explored signing shooting guard Marco Belinelli, who
came to terms with the Sacramento Kings, but Lin was high on the team’s
wish list.
最初黄蜂透露要签下已经去了国王队的得分后卫Marco Belinelli,但林是黄蜂更高顺
位的签约选择.
Signing Lin will bring the Hornets’ guaranteed contracts to 12 with an
NBA-maximum roster of 15. That could still leave room to sign undrafted
rookie Aaron Harrison, who has drawn praise from team officials during
summer league in Orlando, Fla.
签下林以后,让黄蜂的保障约登录球员达到12位(联盟上限是15人),这让黄蜂可以签下
Aaron Harrison这位在奥兰多夏季联赛中获得球队好评的落选新秀.
Lin adds to a Hornets trend this offseason of accepting defensive
limitations to find more scoring options. The Hornets traded for Spencer
Hawes and drafted Frank Kaminsky in recent weeks. Neither is considered a
particularly strong defender. Meanwhile the Hornets chose not to make a
qualifying offer to center Bismack Biyombo, a strong rim protector but a
very limited scorer.
林增加了黄蜂的进攻选择与防守上的侷限.加上黄蜂最近得到了Spencer Hawes与新秀
Frank Kaminsky,这些球员也不认为是在防守上很强的球员.同时黄蜂也不再用QO续留
防守型中锋Bismack Biyombo.
感想: 全额中产的消息源原来是当地媒体...
