Where Are They Now? The 2004-05 Los Angeles Lakers

前言：
大概1个多月前就看到这篇文章，勾起我很多回忆，这两天没比赛，加上老大
又被中外媒体酸到飞起来，这几天随手翻了一下，有些地方翻不好的再请包容
The 2014-15 Los Angeles Lakers are facing a tough season ahead. Boasting
talent like Carlos Boozer and Wayne Ellington, the roster is filled with
no-names and has-beens. Kobe Bryant, depending on who you believe, is no
longer considered an elite player in the NBA, and Byron Scott is the coach
2014-15湖人正面临着一个艰难的赛季。roster上充满了无名小足及过气球员
天花板尽是像Carlos Boozer和Wayne Ellington此类的球员 . KOBE从某个角
度来看，不再被视为一个精英球员，然后教练是Byron Scott
Certainly, with 16 championships to their franchise's name, Los Angeles
Lakers fans are not accustomed to this sort of disappointment or concern.
However, just because things look dim in Tinsel Town right now, doesn't mean
they haven't been this bad before. In fact, it was just 10 years ago that the
Lakers, when they were readying themselves for the upcoming season, were
loaded with a roster that was arguably worse than cast of characters Los
Angeles is currently employing.
身为一个拥有16座冠军的人气球队，湖人的球迷显然还不习惯这种失望和关注
即使现在这个浮华城市看起来暗淡无光，但这并不代表他们没有经历过比现在
更坏的处境。事实上，就在10年前，那时的湖人正用一个比目前更惨澹的阵容
为自己迎接即将到来的赛季
Fresh off a losing appearance in the 2004 NBA Finals, the Lakers were in
shambles. Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe, and Phil Jackson had reached a trifecta of
disagreement, culminating in a trade that sent Shaq to the Miami Heat.
Jackson decided he was finished and resigned from the team (and eventually
released his scathing anti-Kobe memoir, The Last Season: A Team in Search of
Its Soul).
当时湖人正在摆脱败像已露的2004年的NBA总决赛，他们简直一团糟。Shaq
kobe和禅师三连霸阵容已经走到尽头，最后Shaq被送往热火。禅师认为没
搞头了，从团队辞职（然后最后还出版了他严厉的kobe一生黑回忆录
上个赛季：一个队伍的灵魂探寻)
As a result of all this turmoil, Kobe became stuck with a batch of new-look
Lakers who didn't look like anything Los Angeles had seen before. Coached by
the aging Rudy Tomjanovich, the 2004-05 Lakers started out the NBA season
with a strange mix of uncertainty, an uncommon feeling for the Staples Center
faithful
这一切混乱的结果，使得KOBE陷入一群有着陌生脸孔，一个在洛杉矶
前所未见的湖人队。由老迈的Tomjanovich执教，2004-05湖人队以奇特的组合
充满不确定性的阵容开始了NBA赛季
Many didn't know what to expect. They knew Kobe was going to be able to be
"the man" for the team, but with a new coach and a unrecognizable roster, the
Lakers were picked to either miss the playoffs or occupy the bottom rung of
the Western Conference postseason bracket. No one could've foreseen just how
poorly the season would end up going. Tomjanovich ended up resigning due to
physical and mental exhaustion, the team tanked, and Los Angeles posted their
first losing record in 11 seasons. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat were dominating
thanks to Shaq's inside presence
许多人不知道会发生什么事。 他们知道kobe将是能够成为这个球队的老大
但一个新的教练和一个平庸的roster，使得湖人两头空，同时失去了季后赛
及炉主抢状元签的机会。没有人能预见本赛季将是这么糟糕的结束。
Tomjanovich由于身心疲惫选择辞职，湖人选择坦，然后结束连续10个球季
进入季后赛的纪录。 在此同时，热火十分感谢Shaq在内线的帮助
Now, a decade later, with two more championships to his name, Kobe readies
himself to face the next cycle of talent shuffling through the purple and
gold. But, while he is still around, we have to wonder: What exactly happened
to all those other guys he took the court with back in 2004? When was the
last time we heard from Vlade Divac or Chucky Atkins or Chris Mihm? As we
discovered, it's been awhile. So, for the sake of giving basketball fans some
perspective on the Kobe's current situation, we found out where all of his
2004-05 Lakers teammates have been hiding since that fruitless 34-48 season
现在的KOBE，十年过去了，有两个冠军以他的名字，面对着一群穿着紫金
球衣天赋混乱的球员。虽然尽管kobe还在，我们不得不要问：那些年跟他
一起在球场的人都过的如何？我们最后一次听到Divac和Atkins和Mihm是
那时候？我想，已经一段时间了。所以，为了让篮球迷们对科比的现状
有一些其他观点，在那个34-48赛季那个令人失望的球季背后，我们来看看
KOBE队友的近况。
Chucky Atkins
By trading away veterans Gary Payton and Rick Fox, the Los Angeles Lakers
netted Chucky Atkins from the Boston Celtics, along with center Chris Mihm
and swingman Jumaine Jones. Atkins had experienced some tough luck prior to
joining the Lakers. After playing four seasons with the Detroit Pistons, he
was traded to the Boston Celtics midway through the 2003-04 season in
exchange for Mike James, narrowly missing out on Detroit's championship
campaign that same yea
通过交易送走老将 Gary Payton和 Rick Fox,，洛杉矶湖人队从赛尔提克
获得Chucky Atkins，以及中锋Chris Mihm和摇摆人Jumaine Jone。Atkins
加盟湖人前运气不太好。在活赛打了四个球季后，在2003-04季中被交易到
塞尔提克换取伪MJ，只差一点就能跟汽车城一起拿到总冠军。
Then, just months later, in August, Atkins found himself on the Lakers, who
at that point were stripped-down from the dimensions that had made them
championship contenders in the NBA Finals of the same year. Suddenly, Atkins
was a starting point guard for Los Angeles, an undeniable downgrade for a
team which had been previously led by Gary Payton and Derek Fisher
然后，仅仅几个月后，8月份，Atkins发现自己对湖人而言，是个当年湖人
在总冠军战后卫的穷人版。突然，湖人从 Gary Payton 及 Derek Fisher
领导的队伍，降级为Atkins先发控卫的队伍
To be fair, Atkins made the most his opportunity, posting career highs in
rebounds per game and points per game in a full season at the helm. However,
the Lakers weren't terribly appreciative of his efforts. Over the 2005
offseason, Atkins was once again traded, this time to the Washington Wizards
in exchange for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit. Yikes.
平心而论， 在一个完整的赛季掌舵下，Atkins把握住他的大部分机会
创下职业生涯新高的每场比赛分和每场篮板。不过，湖人队并没有非常
欣赏他的努力。在2005年休赛期，Atkins再次被交易，这次到巫师队
换来了 Kwame Brow和 Laron Profit
Nowadays, Atkins resides in the South Florida area, where he grew up.
Recently, he was seen coaching his old high school Maynard Evans in Orlando.
However, tweets from what appears to be his personal Twitter account signal
that Atkins has made a move to his alma mater, South Florida
如今，Atkins居住在他长大的南佛罗里达地区。最近，有人看见他执教
梅纳德‧埃文斯高中。然而，从几个看似是他的个人Twitter帐户发出的
tweets看来，Atkins似乎在他的母校南佛罗里达活动
Again, we can't completely confirm that @Cdiem007 is Atkins' official Twitter
account, but if it is, then he's subscribing to some, uh, pretty interesting
clientele. Clearly, he's a man of very specific interests
同样，我们也不能完全证实，@ Cdiem007是Atkins的官方Twitter账户
但如果是的话，他订阅了一些很有趣的客户。很显然，他是有些特别兴趣的
Tony Bobbitt
Signed for one season by Los Angeles, and appearing in just two games, former
Cincinnati Bearcats shooting guard Tony Bobbitt came to the Lakers as an
undrafted free agent still looking to get his shot in the league. However, he
would leave Los Angeles with his career in essentially the same condition.
Bobbitt was demoted to the developmental league by the Lakers, eventually
going on an extended march between teams in Europe, Mexico, and the lowest
levels of professional ball.
在LA签约一个赛季，并出现在短短的两场比赛，作为一个非选秀自由球员
前辛辛那提斗士得分后卫 Tony Bobbit来到湖人还是希望能得到他的出手
机会。然而，也是此原因使得他离开洛杉矶。Bobbit被下放到了湖人的发展
联盟，最后游走在欧洲，墨西哥，或其他较低阶层的职业联盟。
The names on Bobbitt's résumé include the Colorado 14ers (now defunct), the
Oklahoma Storm (now defunct), and the Springfield Armor (now defunct). Most
recently Bobbitt was seen playing for the Idaho Stampede, a D-League team
affiliated with the Utah Jazz. However, since 2012, nothing has been seen or
heard from Bobbitt in the professional basketball world. A personal Twitter
account of Bobbitt's was last used on July 9, 2012. The tweet read, "Thank u
GOD for another blessed day im very blessed with my family and happy that im
getting to know My GOD better AMEN.
在Bobbitt的简历上包括科罗拉多14ers（解散），俄克拉荷马风暴（解散）
和斯普林菲尔德装甲（解散）。最近Bobbitt被视为效力于爱达荷州牛仔
一个D-联盟球队附属在犹他爵士上。然而，2012年以来，在职业篮球界
没有Bobbitt的任何消息。个人Twitter帐户最后一次更新于2012/7/9
Tierre Brown
Tierre Brown played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New Orleans Hornets
before finally making his way to Hollywood in 2004, but the glitz and glamour
of Los Angeles would have no particularly memorable effects on his career, as
the guard was quickly swept out of the league following the 2004-05 season
Tierre Brown在来到湖人前效力于克里夫兰骑士队和纽奥良黄蜂队
但洛杉矶的浮华和魅力没有对他的职业生涯激起令人难忘的回忆，在2004-05
赛季后，作为后卫的他很快被扫地出门
From there Brown took his career international, playing in locales such as
Belarus, Venezuela, Italy, and Qatar, as well as earning minor stints in the
D-League. In 2013, Brown played his last notable position for BC Tsmoki-Minsk
of the Belarus Premier League. Since then, little has been heard from the
McNeese State University product. However, you can find him active today both
on Instagram and Twitter. Brown appears to be staying in shape for his next
opportunity
Brown开始他的国际职业生涯，如白俄罗斯，委内瑞拉，意大利和卡达
以及在发展联盟争取少数的出场机会。在2013年，Brown效力于白俄罗斯
超级联赛的BC Tsmoki 。从那以后，几乎没有听到这位麦克尼斯州立大学
出产选手的消息。但是，他现在仍持续活跃在Instagram的和Twitter上。
Brown似乎保持体态，等待他下一次机会
Caron Butler
Caron Butler is one of the few players on this roster who is still currently
active in the league, having just signed a 2-year/$9M contract with the
Detroit Pistons during the offseason. However, Butler's time in Lakerland was
short. After being traded to Los Angeles in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal
(the Lakers also received Lamar Odom, Brian Cook, and Brian Grant), Butler
was able to acquit himself well, averaging what were then career highs for
him in shooting, rebounding, and free throw percentage
Caron Butler是在这个roster上少数目前仍然在联盟中活跃的球员
在休赛期刚刚签订了一份2年/900万美元与底特律活塞队的合约。
事实上，Butler在湖人的时间很短。从Shaq的交易来到湖人（也获得了
Lamar Odom, Brian Cook, Brian Grant），Butler在湖人发挥的很好
篮板，投篮，和罚球命中率都是他职业生涯的新高
Unfortunately, these improvements wouldn't be enough to keep Butler in the
purple and gold, as he was once again traded the following offseason,
shipping off to Washington for Kwame Brown and Laron Profit
不幸的是，这些改进仍然不足以让Butler继续穿上湖人球衣，他再一次
在休赛季被交易到巫师换取Kwame Brown 和 Laron Profit
For Butler, the move was for the best. During his five seasons in Washington,
Butler made two All-Star teams and established himself as one of the most
versatile and reliable small forwards in the league. Later, after moving to
Dallas, Butler would collect a championship ring with the Mavericks, though
he was injured for the entirety of their 2011 postseason run due to a torn
patella tendon in his right knee
对Butler来说，这是最好的选择。在华盛顿他的五个赛季，Butler两度
入选全明星队，并确立了自己是在联盟中最灵活和可靠的小前锋之一。
后来，被交易到达拉斯后，Butler由于右膝髌腱的撕裂缺席了2011季后赛
全部，但仍从小牛队收集到一枚总冠军戒指
Though his talents have noticeably faded since his peaks in D.C. and Dallas,
Butler is still collecting checks, serving as a stabilizing presence for any
team in need of veteran leadership and insight.
虽然他的能力，已经从在巅峰期的华盛顿和达拉斯明显消退，Butler
仍然还在寻求下一份合约，在任何一支需要老将的领导力和洞察力的
球队中，他依然是个稳定的象征
Brian Cook
As a member of the 2003-04 Lakers team, Brian Cook had received a glimpse of
the better days in Los Angeles. He knew what its was like to play and
practice with a winning team. Hell, as a rookie, he was able to suit up
alongside Karl Malone and Shaquille O'Neal. What more could a rookie big man
ask for?
作为2003-04湖人队的一员，厨师曾在洛杉矶度过一些美好时光。
他知道跟冠军级队伍打球、练习是什么样子。干，作为一名新秀
他能够跟马龙和Shaq一起搭配。一个菜鸟大个子还可以要求什么?
However, none of the greatness from the Mailman nor Shaq would rub off on
Cook. A first round pick for Los Angeles in 2003 NBA Draft, Cook would never
fully pan out for the purple and gold, eventually getting traded away to
Orlando in a trade that gave the Lakers Trevor Ariza.
然而，厨师没有从邮差及Shaq学到任何值得一提的技巧。湖人在2003年
第一轮选秀的厨师，最终被交易送到奥兰多，湖人得到Ariza。
From there, Cook bounced around the league, playing for Orlando, Houston, the
Clippers, and Washington before signing up to play in the Puerto Rican
basketball leagues last season. Thankfully, his former Magic coach Stan Van
Gundy came to the rescue last month, signing Cook to a training camp deal
with the Detroit Pistons on September 25. For now, Cook is an NBA player
again. However, it is unknown whether he'll be around to see the Pistons make
their season debut against the Denver Nuggets on September 29
尔后，厨师在联盟中打转，效力于奥兰多，休士顿，快艇和华盛顿，
上赛季开打之前还准备在在波多黎各联赛打球。但值得庆幸的是，
他的前魔术主帅恐慌大师上个月伸出援手，在9月25日与底特律活塞
签署训练营合约，现在，厨师又是一个NBA球员了。不过，目前还不清楚
他是否会在本季活塞金块首场战出赛(完全不想google他)
