(前略)
Assets资产
Joe Johnson (one year, $25 million) and Deron Williams (two years, $43
million) are at the top of the Nets’ asset chart, and any team that finds
itself in that situation is going to be in some trouble. The Nets are in some
trouble, especially because they will swap draft picks with the Hawks this
year, lose their picks to Boston next year and in 2018 and be subject to a
swap in 2017. As for the other Nets players, they’re tough to measure.
Joe Johnson(1Y/2500万镁)和Deron Williams(2Y/4300万镁)是目前篮网队薪资最高的两
名球员，不管是哪支球队身处这样的情况时，一定会遇到一些问题。篮网队现在就陷入了
一些麻烦，特别是因为他们今年的选秀权送去了老鹰，明年和2018年选秀权送到波士顿和
(同意在2017交换)。至于其他篮网的球员，他们很难去评估。
Bojan Bogdanovic was wildly inconsistent in his rookie year but looked much
better one the Nets’ rotations settled down in the second half of the year
— he averaged 11.6 points on 51.3 percent shooting and 42.9 percent 3-point
shooting after the All-Star break. Big man Mason Plumlee took steps backward
after the trade of Kevin Garnett. Jarrett Jack is your run-of-the-mill backup
point guard making $6.6 million per year while his game slips as he gets into
his 30s (see: 26.7 percent on 3-pointers).
Bojan Bogdanovic菜鸟年的表现有着夸张的起伏，但在下半季篮网的轮替底定后有着不错
的成绩，明星周后平均11.6分/51.3%投篮命中率/42.9%3分命中率。禁区球员Mason
Plumlee在Garnett被交易后退步了。Jarrett Jack则是一个平凡的年薪660万镁替补后卫
，30岁的他成绩也下滑不少(参考:3分球命中率26.7%)。
General manager Billy King dropped hints that perhaps it may be time to break
up the Williams-Johnson duo, which drew guffaws from those who know he has
been trying to dump one or both of them for more than a year. Those outsized
salaries will likely keep them in Brooklyn until their contracts are up,
unless King wants to take on another absurd contract in return.
Billy King“暗示”现在是把Johnson和Williams这二人组拆掉的时机。 内行人听了都好
笑：谁不知道你想卖他们已经想了一年。总之绝对没有“King愿意在其中一人身上多赌一
年”这回事。
这两个球员的巨额薪资也许会让这他们直到合约到期前还是待在篮网，除非King愿意接手
另一张荒唐的合约做为回报。

The real points of interest here are center Brook Lopez and forward . Each
has a contract option that they can exercise this summer, allowing them to
his free unrestricted agency. But neither case is simple, and there is
genuine uncertainty about what either player will do. Lopez’s option is
worth $16.8 million, and given his recent history of injury, particularly
when it comes to his foot, opting out and netting a big contract as soon as
possible is the wise thing to do. But Lopez could come back next year, play
out his option, (hopefully) stay healthy and look like an All-Star qtqin,
setting him up for an enormous payday in the summer of 2016, when the league’
s new TV deal kicks in.
这里让人真的感兴趣的是中锋Brook Lopez和前锋Thaddeus Young。他们今年夏天都拥有
合约的选择权，允许他们成为非受限自由球员。但这两个案例都不单纯，这两人的下一步
还是充满许多未知数。Lopez的选择权价值1680万镁，考虑到他近年的伤病史，尤其是他
的脚，尽快跳出合约并签下大张合约会是明智之举。但Lopez明年也可以续留篮网，发挥
选择权，(可以的话)保持健康然后像个全明星球员，当2016年新的转播合约开始之后，替
自己赚取高额的薪资。
Young has the same situation, a choice between getting paid now and getting
paid in 2016. But Young’s option number ($9.7 million) is much smaller than
Lopez’s, and in terms of a “ceiling” for salary in Young’s free agency, it
’s not going to top what a max deal would be worth this summer. That means
there won’t be as much incentive for Young to wait before opting out. Either
way, the Nets, with so few options when it comes to changing over their
roster, appear to want to keep both Young and Lopez.
Young也有相同的处境，在今年或是2016年(同前段述)间选择。但与Lopez相比，Young的
选择权(970万镁)相对便宜许多，而且Young成为自由球员后，就他薪资的天花板来说，今
年夏天不太可能会拿到一张顶薪的合约。这意味着在他行使选择权之前，没有什么诱因去
吸引Young等待。
无论是以哪种方式，篮网只有一点机会能够更替球员名单，似乎会想要把Lopez和Young留
下来。
Draft outlook选秀展望
It’s grim. The Nets are tank-proof because they get no benefit from an
increase in lottery ping-pong balls. The Nets have already given away two
first-round picks in their next four seasons, and will likely have to swap
the other two for lower picks.
The best they can hope for at No. 29 this year is to take a chance on a
high-risk, high-reward gamble, like Kansas' Cliff Alexander.
篮网的选秀之路很严峻。因为篮网在选秀上将不会获得任何好处。未来四个球季，篮网已
经把两个首轮签送出去，而且另外两个首轮签，将很有可能换成较低的顺位。他们今年的
最佳机会就是在第29顺位上，选一个高风险、高报酬的球员，像是堪萨斯的Cliff
Alexander。

Shopping list购物清单
Their list will depend on what happens with their three big free agents
(Mirza Teletovic, in addition to Young and Lopez). Beyond that, the Nets need
serious veterans who can do what Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett could not —
push Deron Williams into becoming something remotely close to the All-Star
point guard he was in Utah. They’ll also need players who better fit Lionel
Hollins’ slow, suffocating style of play. It’s not a surprise that the Nets
ranked 24th in pace this season, but if you’re going to play that slow, you
need to rebound and defend. The Nets were 24th in defensive efficiency and
23rd in rebounding percentage.
篮网的清单将取决于队上三个禁区自由球员(Mirza Teletovic、加上Young和Lopez)。除
此之外，篮网确实需要一个老将，去做Paul Pierce和Kevin Garnett都无法做到的事-督
促Deron Williams，回到接近在爵士的时全明星的身手。他们也需要较能适应Lionel
Hollins慢、窒息式战术的球员。这个赛季篮网排第24名不会让人感到意外。如果篮网真
的要打得这么慢，他们需要篮板和防守。然而篮网在防守效率上排名全联盟第24名，篮板
百分比排名则是第23名。
