Understanding the 76ers Interest in Jeremy Lin

简单摘要跟翻译
On Saturday, a report from ESPN came out that the 76ers were open to trading
for Jeremy Lin. That sentence by itself is extremely misleading, especially
for people that won’t look any deeper into the surface. Jeremy Lin is a
decent player and comes with a great story and could sell some tickets, but
that’s not why the 76ers want Jeremy Lin.
上星期六一篇ESPN的报导表示七六人对于交易Jeremy Lin表示开放态度，这句话其实
容易对于只看到表面的人造成误解。Jeremy Lin是个非常不错而有着很棒故事的球员，
还可以带来票房，但这个不是为什么七六人想要Jeremy Lin的原因。
If the 76ers were to engage in serious negotiations with the Rockets, it
would be to bring a pick back to Philadelphia with Jeremy Lin. Now, Lin
averaged 12.5 points per game on 45 percent shooting last season, so he’s a
competent player. However, he’s due to make $8,374,646 next season in the
last year of his contract.
如果七六人认真的想要跟火箭交易，Jeremy Lin应该会跟一枚选秀签一起打包过来。
Lin去年平均一场可以拿12.5分还有45%的投篮命中率，所以他其实是个相当有竞争力
的球员，但是接下来最后一年的合约很贵。
According to shamsports.com, the 76ers have $31,278,878 in cap room to spend
this offseason. That number will shrink a small amount when rookies are
signed to deals, but the 76ers will still have an abundance of cap space left
to play with. This is where the Houston Rockets and Jeremy Lin come into
play. Daryl Morey — GM of the Houston Rockets — is making a play for
Carmelo Anthony, or some max-contract superstar this offseason. In order to
have room for this superstar, Lin’s $8 million needs to be taken off the
books. However, the Rockets don’t want to take any contracts back.
七六人大概还有三千一百万的空间可以供操作，在签下一些新秀后会再少一点，但是
仍然有非常充裕的空间。而火箭为了再得到一个明星球员得清出Lin 8M的薪水才有可能，
而且最好不要再拿到任何合约。
The 76ers are one of the unique teams in the NBA that have the ability to
absorb Lin’s large contract without sending anything back. Of course, for
taking on Lin, the 76ers want compensation. Philadelphia isn’t going to take
on $8 million without getting something in return. The return would have to
be at least a first-round pick, if not multiple picks from Houston for taking
on Lin’s deal.
七六人是NBA里面独特的一支队伍，因为他可以吸收Lin的合约而不需要送任何东西，
当然，帮火箭清空Lin的薪资七六人想要一些补偿，而不是直接帮忙吃8M的薪水。
补偿应该至少要有一枚首轮签，或是几个二轮签。
For that reason, the 76ers would welcome Jeremy Lin with opening arms, if the
return is sufficient enough. Not to mention, Sixers GM Sam Hinkie worked
alongside Rockets GM Daryl Morey in Houston before he came to Philadelphia.
因此七六人如果可以拿到够多的补偿其实很欢迎Lin。此外七六人的GM Hinkie在
来七六人前曾经在Morey身旁工作，两个人也算有交情。
Don’t get it twisted, Jeremy Lin wouldn’t take any minutes away from
Michael Carter-Williams. There isn’t going to be a move to the bench for MCW
if Lin is brought in, it’s quite the opposite. Jeremy Lin could play
alongside MCW at the shooting guard position, or come off the bench. Who
really cares? As long as he brings some picks along with him, it doesn’t
matter. He’ll spend a season with the 76ers and then be off to his next NBA
adventure.
也不要误会Lin会不会跟MCW分时间，把Lin带进来并不会让MCW坐板凳，相反的，Lin可以
当先发得分后卫，也可以从板凳出发，谁在乎呢?只要交易Lin可以带来足够的补偿，其实
根本无所谓，Lin就是在七六人待一季，然后继续他的NBA之旅。
So, if this trade goes down, just smile. Trust in Sam Hinkie and put a smile
on your face as the assets begin to pile up, once again.
所以如果交易成真的，七六人的球迷应该要相信Hinkie，感到开心，因为球队又继续累积
资产了。
简评: 交易对七六人真的不亏，或许对Lin也是好事，下一季很重要，数据会决定下一份
薪水跟球队。
