Simmons on new deal: 'It's a business'; happy with $20 million contract
西蒙斯谈新合约：在商言商，能拿到二千万的合约很棒。
Jonathon Simmons' time with the Spurs came to an end after agreeing to
terms with the Orlando Magic
西蒙斯和魔术达成协议后意味着他的马刺生涯要划下句点了。


Jonathon Simmons walked out of a gym on Friday afternoon with a better
understanding of what the NBA is all about.
Simmons had just agreed to a three-year, $20 million deal with the
Orlando Magic, one day after having his qualifying offer pulled from
the Spurs and becoming an unrestricted free agent.
周五刚从体育馆走出来的他对于NBA这个大观园有了更多不同体认，就在马刺将
西蒙斯的“合格报价”撤回后的隔一天，他和魔术队签下了3年2000万的新约。
"It just business," Simmons told the Express-News. "It's not
disappointing to me at all. That's just how it is. ... I wasn't
disappointed about anything. I believe everything happened for a
reason.
"I'm really not surprised," Simmons continued. "I didn't know what to
expect. I was just trying to take it a day at a time and see what the
opportunity was going to be."
Yes, it's a business. Simmons found that out firsthand.
这只是个在商言商的生意谈判，西蒙斯告诉记者：对我而言这也没什么好失望的
，这就只是…我并没有感到失望，因为我了解每件事的发生都有背后的原因。
我也没被这结果吓到，他补充道：我也不知道该去期待什么，我就只是等著看，
看看我在自由市场上会有什么机会。
The 27-year-old Houston native walked into free agency with the
intentions of securing a deal of at least $50 million. But it has not
been a good offseason for many restricted free agents.
Like Simmons, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Nikola Mirotic, JaMychal Green
, Alex Len, even Spurs newcomer Joffrey Lauvergne have all realized how
rigid the restricted market is.
这位27岁的休士顿当地人今年踏入自由球员市场，并且一开始预期有机会得到一
份总价5000万的大合约，但今年对于许多自由球员而言成果并不丰硕。
"No one expected it to be this tough," said Simmons. "A guy like me
still has to deal with politics at the end of the day. I was a low-tier
guy still, after what I did, it still wasn't enough. I know that. I was
expecting more, but I'm happy. It's $20 million. People don't get that
every day."
没人想到会这么惨，西蒙斯说：到最后，我这种小角色还是得面对各种残酷的现
实，我只是个普通的角色球员，即便我以为我己经证明了我的能耐，但结果告诉
我，我的努力还远远不够。我虽然期待大约，但是现在这样也还不错啦，二千万
的合约也不是随随便便就能够拿得到的。
Simmons averaged 6.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 78 games with the Spurs
last season. He admitted playing time was a factor in deciding his next
location. Though Simmons played 78 games last season, eight times as a
starter, and averaged 17.8 minutes, the competitor in Simmons wanted
more.
"I want to be in position to play a decent amount of minutes per game,
" said Simmons. "I feel like I can excel playing enough minutes per
game. I explained that to Pop (Gregg Popovich) and he understand that.
... I want to be able to continue to improve and still make a name
for myself and I wasn't going to do that (with the Spurs). Not like I
wanted to."
西蒙斯上季在78场的赛事中平均6.2分、2.1篮板，他坦言出赛时间对于他选择下
家是一个重要考量，上赛季的78场赛事(包含8场先发)仅能有17.8分钟的上场时
间，满足不了他的热血。我想要有足够的上场时间，我觉得多打一点我会有更好
的表现，我也向波波提过，他也了解…我需要时间去证明自己并打出自己的身价
，但是在马刺我并不能得到这种机会。
Asked why he felt the Magic was a good choice, Simmons said the
opportunity to become a better impact player was too good to pass up.
"I have goals and I'm trying to attack them," said Simmons. "I think
Orlando is the perfect place to do that."
Though his time with the Spurs officially ended, Simmons has no hard
feelings. He recalled Game 6 against the Houston Rockets in the Western
Conference semifinals, a game he considers the most memorable as a Spur.
问他为何选择魔术时，他说在那里他有更多机会发挥他的影响力。虽然在马刺的
时光即将告终，但他对此没有怨怼，他仍然怀念在马刺的日子，包含在西区半决
赛第六场比赛是他认为很值得记念的一场比赛
With no Tony Parker or Kawhi Leonard, Simmons received his first career
postseason start, finishing with 18 points and four assists. In front
of his family and friends at the Toyota Center in Houston, he helped
the Spurs eliminate the Rockets to advance to the conference finals.
"That was the one," said Simmons of the game. "It was surreal."
A new chapter awaits in Orlando, where Simmons will see a familiar face
in Chad Forcier, a former Spurs assistant and current lead assistant for
the Magic.
在小跑车和可爱都缺阵下，西蒙斯得到季后赛第一次先发的机会，并得到18分4助
攻，并且在家乡父老见证下他协助马刺淘汰火箭并晋级西区冠军赛，那实在太棒了
，爽到令人难以置信。
而新的篇章在等著西蒙斯开启，在那里有一个熟悉的脸孔等着他

有可能签保证上场时间，但这个只能用观察的....

最后一句是首席助教不是助攻纪录啦XD

刚看完西门劲爆高光很不舍，不过还是祝福西门

祝福西门

不会很舍不得 但由衷祝福他在魔术真的能比在我刺有更多上场时间。

最后一句的翻译XD

借转果汁新家 感谢

“但是在马刺我并不能得到这种机会”

这翻译....

祝福他 虽然结果不太如意 希望在魔术有好发展

以他今年季后赛表现，如果留队下季上场时间肯定变多的啊

祝福他

祝福你

三分练出来应该会很猛 可惜了

抱歉，中午赶着出门，仓促行事果然漏洞百出，不好意思让各位见笑了，然后来源网址也忘了附上 https://goo.gl/jd1KCShttps://goo.gl/jd1KCS

祝福

真是阿Q，manu要退不是今年就是明年，到时还怕没上场时间? 而且留下来可以拿更多钱不是吗? 噗噗

祝福他 希望他能够好好表现

结果才18M，第三年还只保障1M..

自己跟经纪人都有责任～但真的倒霉被经纪人搞到

之前差点当理发师 18M很够用了 说人家阿Q是怎样啊zzz

18M是美金,换算台币是好几个亿,这里99%一辈子也赚不到零头.只能说大顶薪时代真好,几年前这也是先发球员级的薪水...要是台湾薪水增加幅度比照NBA,不知有多爽

巨人去年 3Y/21M 均薪7M，西门3Y/20M 真的生错年

1如果要比薪水 才能评论 我看版可以收一收了理性沟通或争论 不需要比身家 要比身家 那也不必讨论了

18M跟马刺能出的差不了多少 但有更好机会争取上场时间

魔术也不见得有上场时间啦，有更好机会是真的这边口爱绿绿Manu就卡死了

魔术容易太多了 干掉Ross成为先发小前锋都有可能

打出15PPG数据的话，两年后签份复数年千万约也合理拉
