The Kings are again looking to make a deal for Detroit’s underwhelming 2013
free agent acquisition, Josh Smith. The two clubs recently returned to a deal
they had discussed last month, reports ESPN’s Marc Stein. We’re not so sure
the deal works for Sacramento, though.
According to Stein’s sources with knowledge of the situation, the original
deal in place had Sacramento sending Jason Thompson and either Jason Terry or
Derrick Williams to the Pistons. The deal never worked itself out and the
discussions were tabled until this month.
过去国王曾和活塞商讨交易Josh Smith的可能性，国王所提出的包裹有两个，分别是：
Jason Thompson + Jason Terry 或 Jason Thompson + Derrick Williams。但是当初的
讨论并未获得活塞的重视，直到这个月此交易案开始有死灰复燃的迹象。
The Kings are hoping to add Smith to a frontcourt already featuring DeMarcus
Cousins and Rudy Gay. The similarities to the triumvirate in Detroit during
their disappointing 2013-14 campaign are hard to miss. The Pistons tried to
squeeze Smith alongside Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond and the lack of
spacing combined with the same shot-selection issues plaguing Smith in
Atlanta proved disastrous for coach Maurice Cheeks — he was fired midway
through the season — and GM Joe Dumars, who resigned after splurging on
Smith in free agency and working a deal with Milwaukee to acquire Brandon
Jennings in a sign-and-trade.
国王希望贾诩的到来能够帮助D.Cousins和R.Gay为主的阵容，而活塞在2013-14的失败
给予了此交易成真的可能性。
过去活塞的角色类似现在的国王，当初活塞以先签后换的方式将Brandon Knight交易出去
换来Josh Smith希望能够挽救颓废的活塞，但最后事与愿违。
( 文章并没有详细说明活塞当初如何获得Josh Smith，但是这部分也不是很重要就是了)
Now, Detroit is trying to get out from the three years and more than $40
million remaining on Smith’s current deal and the equivocal possibility
frontcourt mate, Greg Monroe doesn’t want to play with him.
因为阵中未来的轴心Greg Monroe不想和Josh Smith一起打球，因此活塞也就干脆尝试
将Josh Smith交易出去。
Here’s Stein explaining Sacramento’s interest
Sources say the Kings continue to give the addition of Smith serious
consideration, largely because the discussions to date have not required them
to part with any players in their long-term plans and would also add a
versatile and athletic defender to a roster that badly needs one, given how
much Kings coach Mike Malone is known to preach defense.
国王对Josh Smith感兴趣的原因在于他出色的运动能力和防守能够改善国王队的缺点，
但是对于是否能够有效配合其他队友仍是国王顾虑的所在。
( 这段我翻得不是很好，还请大大多加注意一下 )
Watching Smith — particularly in person — one is struck by how long and
athletic he can look on the court, and the crazy amount of ability he can
show if he’s engaged on that particular night. If he’s passing up the
three-pointers he often favors, and working to get into the paint, and
dissuading opponents from the paint on the other end, he has the capability
to be one of the best hybrid forwards in the league. Despite finishing his
tenth NBA season this past year, Smith’s only 28, usually the prime for an
NBA player. -
Josh Smith的身手是绝对能够缴出相当出色的成绩并成为联盟中最出色的锋线球员之一
，但是他糟糕的外线与投篮是难以改善的部分，且容易身陷泥沼而“无法自拔”。
Still, Smith’s scowl speaks wonders about his attitude on the hardwood, and
we’ve already gone through how awful his shot selection can be. It remains
to be seen whether any NBA coach — even a smart one like Mike Malone — can
get through to him and get him to bang on the block rather than feast on
those tempting long-range bombs. With Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins, the
Kings already possess two shoot-first players in their frontcourt, and the
addition of Smith — like it was for Detroit — could mess up the chemistry
that peeked out towards the latter portion of Sacramento’s ’13-’14 season.
Josh Smith对于外线的“执著”是造成活塞在13-14球季相当失败的主因之一，国王的
教练Mike Malone能否改善这点尚难判断，但是国王的前场D.Cousins和R.Gay的打法也
都是以投篮为主的球星，因此倘若Josh Smith加入国王，恐怕会成为下一个悲剧。
For Detroit, this simply feels like a salary dump to appease Monroe or open
up an often cluttered paint area on offense last year. We know new GM/coach
Stan Van Gundy is no fan of malcontents and that’s exactly what can happen
to J Smoove if he isn’t feeling a specific situation. Still, we’re not sure
Sacramento is the answer, we just wished someone could tap into the reservoir
of talent we know Smith has shimmering beneath the surface of his annoyed
countenance.
对活塞来说，交易掉Josh Smith是件好事，除了可以清掉他的烂约之外，更能够改善
前场的混乱，活塞的主管兼总教练大范确实是越趋积极地想把Josh Smith交易掉，
但是对于国王来说这不会是个好交易，因为Josh Smith的好真的仅止于“数据”。
Should the Kings do this deal?
个人浅见：
这篇文章忽略了国王自己也想要把阵中所有PF的烂约给清掉，特别是C.Landry和
J.Thompson，因此恐怕交易案发生的机率不算小。
但是，我不认为Josh Smith的到来能够帮助国王太多，且能够跟表弟搭配的
四号位在现在的自由球员市场似乎比较难找。
注： Josh Smith的约还有三年四千多万。
