The Nets are looking at a starting lineup filled with current and former
All-Stars and future Hall of Famers: point guard Deron Williams, shooting
guard Joe Johnson, center Brook Lopez, Garnett and Pierce. The bench is deep,
too, with Jason Terry, Andray Blatche, Reggie Evans and Kirilenko.
新赛季即将到来，篮网队新的先发阵容名单有着全明星和未来可能的名人堂球员：控球
后卫Deron Williams、得分后卫Joe Johnson、中锋Brook Lopez以及KG和PP。而板凳深
度也是很可观，有着 Jason Terry、Andray Blatche、Reggie Evans和Kirilenko。
With so many teams cautious about spending money and exceeding the luxury tax
threshold because of the punitive and escalating luxury tax established in
the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, the Nets will have a payroll of
about $101.2 million and a tax bill of nearly $84 million — the highest tax
bill in NBA history and nearly triple the amount they would have paid under
the old system.
在奢侈税惩罚日益加剧的现有劳资协议下，许多球队都小心翼翼地花钱，篮网显然不在
其列。他们的阵容总薪资达到1.012亿美元，奢侈税金额接近8400万美元。这是NBA历史
的最高纪录，如果和过去老的劳资协议相比较，现在他们要交的税是过去要交的近3倍。
Prokhorov has committed $185 million to the 2013-14 roster, and when he said
previously that the luxury tax was not a concern, he meant it. He really,
really meant it.
在2013-14赛季，加上奢侈税的罚则，Prokhorov必需支付 1亿8500万美金的薪资，而过
去他就有说过，他并不关心奢侈税的问题，看样子他真的是认真的。
"When I bought the team, I promised to create a championship contender, a
team worthy of Brooklyn," Prokhorov told news reporters. "I'll be proud when
we win the championship. I am not a man of procedure. I am a man of results.
“当我买下这支球队时，我就承诺了我要打造一支总冠军的竞争者，一支配得上布鲁克
林的球队，”Prokhorov告诉采访者，“当我们赢得总冠军之时，我必会无比骄傲。 我
不是一个在乎过程的人，我只在乎结果。”
"We need a championship team. For me, it's not the way to wait 10 years for
results. I don't think our fans will either. I'm willing to invest more to
make Brooklyn the best in the league."
“我们需要一支总冠军球队。对于我来说，花10年时间来等一个结果可不是我要的。我
想我们的球迷也不希望这样。因此为了让篮网成为这个联盟里最好的球队，我愿意做更
多的投资。”
