被起訴後,數字科技接下來該怎麼做?

2014828日,數字科技遭到新北地檢署以違反「電子票證發行管理條例」提起公訴,理由是數字科技旗下的8591虛寶交易平台所發行的「T點」屬於電子票證,而數字科技不具有發行的特許資格,因此違反該法第30條而負有刑事責任。蘋果以斗大標題寫著數字科技「吸金」186億元,對此,數字科技表示「T點」並非電子票證,因而沒有違法。

這新聞引起業界一片譁然,輿論大多站在數字科技的立場而批評法令落後,金管會思考落伍保守,扼殺台灣創新。然而為什麼檢察官會起訴數字科技,則少有人討論。

撇開立場問題,我們單純從法律面切入,到底數字科技有沒有違法?其實是有的,但應該不是這個2009年才施行「電子票證發行管理條例」,而是行之有年的「銀行法」。

為什麼?因為「T點」真的不是電子票證。

依照「電子票證發行管理條例」3條第1款「電子票證:指以電子、磁力或光學形式儲存金錢價值,並含有資料儲存或計算功能晶片、卡片、憑證或其他形式之債據,作為多用途支付使用之工具。」可以整理出,所謂的「電子票證」至少有以下幾個特徵:

1.          可供儲存金錢價值。
2.          金錢價值係以電子、磁力或光學形式儲存。(載體)
3.          含有資料儲存或計算功能。
4.          屬於晶片、卡片、憑證或其他形式之債權。
5.          供多用途支付。

基本上這是一個為「悠遊卡」量身訂做的法律,為了讓悠遊卡能夠用在交通以外的消費,所以弄出這個法讓悠遊卡可以多用途支付。在此之前,所有的儲值卡都只能做單一用途的消費。為什麼會有這樣的規範,下一篇文章會提到。

至於T點是甚麼,要從交易架構來看。8591網提供了一個平台,讓賣家刊登要拍賣的虛擬寶物,買家可以上去競價或直購,就和所有的拍賣網站一般。而為了減少履約的風險,8591在買家得標後會先暫管買家要交付的價金,等到買家和8591確認有收到寶物後,再將價金移轉給賣家。但如此一來,買家要先把錢匯給8591,再由8591把錢匯給賣家,不但程序麻煩,不同銀行間的轉帳手續費也會墊高交易成本,因此,在8591上的交易都必須透過一種叫「T點」的虛擬貨幣來進行,買家要先購買T點存在自己的8591帳戶,8591暫管T點後轉到賣家帳戶,賣家再把帳戶中的T點轉到自己的銀行帳戶。這種兼具「代收代付」和「儲值」功能的平台就是現在吵的沸沸揚揚的「第三方支付」典型。



從這樣的架構可以知道,T點他是一個「虛擬的」「電磁紀錄」。任何人都不會拿到一個叫T點的晶片、卡片或任何東西。其次,T點本身有交易價值,他不是用來儲存金錢價值的「載體」,當然他也沒有儲存功能或計算功能。最後,T點只能在8591平台上使用,沒辦法去簽甚麼特約商店進行多用途支付,從要件判斷,T點根本不屬於「電子票證」,8591自然不違反電子票證發行管理條例。

儘管如此,8591很可能還是違反了銀行法。銀行法規定非銀行不得經營收受存款業務,而依照主管機關金管會的一貫見解,這種代收代付的儲值行為是屬「於收受存款」,只有銀行才可以做。2006年藍新科技的ezPay個人帳房服務就因為包含了儲值業務,遭到金管會發函終止,而2011年,金管會再次以金管銀票字第10000043180號函表示了儲值業務是屬於「收受存款」的範圍。這也是為什麼我說數字科技違反的銀行法,而非電子票證發行管理條例。

那麼,為什麼新北地檢署要以「電子票證發行管理條例」起訴數字科技,旁人就不得而知。但2009年才施行的電子票證條例對檢察官來說無疑是個相對陌生的法令,亦無前例可以遵循,有可能是檢察官對法令和科技相對不熟悉才這樣做。

然而,金管會在2012年發函要求數字科技依照電子票證條例將儲值款項交付信託,數字科技也在2013年將款項信託國泰銀行,也暫停儲值功能。但檢察官在20148月才對數字科技在2009~2013年之間的行為起訴,而且這個案件沒有被害人,以新北地檢署檢察官的積案壓力來說,實在不太正常。這也是為什麼業內人士對這件案子除了譁然,也是霧裡看花。不過這件案子也間接催生了第三方支付專法「電子支付機構管理條例」草案,行政院在201494日通過草案,現在就看立法院甚麼時候通過,讓電子電三方支付可以合法地進行「儲值」業務。

被起訴之後,數字科技下一步該何去何從?

8591目前已經取消「T點」的設計了。剩下的付款方式有ATM轉帳、便利商店的代收服務、特約代收代付商店和支付寶付款(限大陸帳號)。這也表示8591不再提供「儲值」交易,這對很講求付款便利性的第三方支付業者來說相當不利。

因此為了要回復方便且低成本的T點交易,數字科技應該盡快取得「電子票證發行業者」的資格,由於數字科技資本額超過3億元,已經達到發行業者門檻,只要看金管會願不願意放行。

其次,由於「電子支付機構管理條例」草案規定,電子票證發行業者可以「兼營」第三方支付,為了因應接下來可能通過的第三方支付法草案,數字科技也要準備好向金管會申請取得電子支付機構的資格,以回復之前便利的交易方式。

看起來很麻煩,但為了避免再次遭受法律風險,這是重要的一步。至於為什麼金管會對於第三方支付諸多限制與干涉,造成業者的綁手綁腳,之後會在台灣關於集資困境、第三方支付法案的系列文章詳述。

英文契約中的here/there+介係詞用語

英文契約中常看到herein, hereto, hereubder, hereinafter等等的文字

這時候只要把握一個原則就可以了解了

here + 介係詞 = 介係詞  + the agreement

hereto = to this agreement
hereof = of this agreement
herein = this agreement
hereby = this agreement
hereunder = under this agreement
herewith = with this agreement
hereinafter = after this agreement

例如:Each Party hereto shall... = Each Party to this agreement shall...


而thereof, thereto等
通常指之前出現過的語句,或是契約中曾出現過的語句

提告後要等多久?--檢察官的辦案期限


當律師的一個無奈之處就是常會遇到當事人問:「律師,我這個案子會輸還是會贏啊?」

如果回答「這很難說ㄟ!」,當事人就會進一步追問:「那大概呢?」、「以你們的經驗來判斷呢?」

我完全可以理解這個問題對當事人的重要性,但不知道你們有沒有這種經驗,你的好朋友來問你:「你覺得那個女生會不會喜歡我啊?」或是「你覺得我前女友會跟我復合嗎?」

這個問題對你的好朋友也很重要,但你有辦法回答嗎?

在諮詢的時候,有很多原因會影響律師對這個案子的判斷。因為我只聽到當事人單方面的說法,在收到答辯狀前,根本不知道當事人是不是只說了有利的部分,常常案子開始以為贏定了,到一半才發現原來當事人隱瞞了這麼多,這就像好朋友來抱怨他女友多差多差,後來聽到對造說法才發現其實也未必是這樣的。

更不用說到底怎樣算是「贏」?請求一千萬判賠五百萬算贏嗎?無罪答辯結果被緩起訴算贏嗎?大法官做了違憲宣告卻限期修法算贏嗎?實在有太多不確定的模糊地帶,請恕小律師不敢擔這個瑕疵擔保責任。

「那這類型的案子通常是怎麼判?」,我只能說沒有這類型的案子,只有這個案子!案子就像人一樣每個都有自己的個性,各自的爭點,會碰到不同的對造和不一樣的法官,這些都會影響到案件的進展,除非真的明確到毫無爭議(那也不會上法院了吧!),要不然只是一點點的差異有時就是影響判決的關鍵。

「這個案子會拖很久嗎?」也是個難解的問題,因為這牽扯到法官的奇摩子,他手上案多不多,勤不勤勞,本案會不會開花,對造會不會上訴等等等太多不確定因素了,可以確定的是速審法通過後,以後應該不會有拖到20年的案子了。

Anyway,這篇不是專門來說律師無奈的,對於刑事告訴,當事人如果問到提告後多久會開庭,偵查結果會拖多久,這倒有個根據可以依循,以台灣案件量最大的新北地檢署(前板橋地檢署)為例,向地檢署提起告訴後,最慢在一個星期的分案程序後,案子會交到檢察官手上,從這個時候開始算,檢察官有一年的辦案期,一年內要做出起訴/不起訴/緩起訴/簽結決定,但一個案子如果在紀錄上2個月都沒動靜,那研考科就會關切,檢察官就要寫報告說明為什麼2個月案子都沒進展。

所以在合理的情況下,提告之後2個月內會開庭,1年內會結案,遇到刑事告訴的當事人我就會這樣回答了,通常有答案大家就會很開心,但要特別注意如果是警察偵辦,因為警察送偵案的時間實在太神秘,這個時間可能就加個幾周到幾個月,各自判斷吧。

都更戰火即將終結?--大法官釋字709號解釋簡評


包括喧鬧一時的文林苑在內的四個都更案爭議,大法官在5個月後終於做出釋字709號解釋,宣告都更條例第10條第1項、第2項及第19條第3項前段違憲,限期一年內修正,逾期失效。

其中被宣告的違憲條文規範分別是:
1.   未要求主管機關應設置適當組織以審議都市更新事業概要。
2.   都市更新事業概要超過十分之一即得提出合法申請,其規定之同意比率太低。
3.   未要求主管機關應將該計畫相關資訊,對更新單元內申請人以外之其他土地及合法建築物所有權人分別為送達。

首先本號解釋由於有一年的緩衝修正期,不是立即失效,所以上面三條被宣告違憲的條文對於已經發生的都更爭議都還是有效的,709號解釋對包括文林苑王家在內的申請人並沒有適用。但最重要的,709號解釋究竟解決了甚麼問題?都更爭議是否就此解決了?筆者持負面看法,認為本號解釋對解決都更爭議的效果非常有限,都更條例第10條對於都更事業概要的規定並非都更的核心程序,第19條第3項的通知義務或許對住戶將更有保障,但以現今資訊不對等的都更現況,如果第22條第3項事業計畫同意撤銷的規定沒有一併修正,那都更爭議可以預期不會有太大的改善。

為了進一步解讀本號解釋的效果,讀者有必要先簡單了解都更程序,大致上都更程序是依照下列的步驟進行的:
1.   劃定都更區域
2.   提具都更事業概要(1/10同意門檻)
3.   擬具都更事業計畫(4/5同意門檻)
4.   權利變換方案
5.   實施都更
首先辦理都更,無論是自辦或是由實施者(建商)主導,要先劃定一定的區域作為都更區域,然後整合區域內的住戶和地主讓他們同意都更,有1/10的同意就可以提具都更事業概要向主管機關申請核准,接著進入都更事業計畫程序,有4/5的住戶地主同意就可以擬具事業計畫書報請主管機關核准,開始進行都更,以及讓住戶選擇是否加入權利變換。

看到這邊有許多的專業名詞會讓讀者混淆,簡單的說都更程序中,住戶要同意三個程序,分別是1.事業概要;2.事業計畫;3.權利變換。

事業概要是一個開始都更的門檻,告訴主管機關說我要都更囉!發起人會提供一個「大概的」都更方案給主管機關核准,包括區域範圍是多少,容積率和建案構想為何?到此為止,會不會都更或都更會怎樣的進行都還處於一個不確定的狀態,唯一可以確定的是區域範圍內有可能要都更了。因此這個門檻是非常低的1/10住戶同意。

事業計劃就不同了,當4/5的住戶都簽了事業計畫同意書,並且事業計畫同意書由主管機關核准之後,代表都更就勢在必行了,就算剩下20%的住戶不同意也無法阻擋,所以又有人戲稱事業計畫同意書又叫「賣身契」。

權利變換則是住戶選擇是否用現在的產權交換未來都更完成的產權,住戶若不同意,都更仍會進行,只是實施者會用限價計算補償金來補償拆遷住戶的房地。

看到這裡應該大概可以了解「事業概要」和「事業計畫」的區別,特別要注意的是,都更條例第10條第2項規定,當發起人達到「事業計畫」的同意門檻時,就可以省略「事業概要」的程序,也就是說當我一開始就拿到4/5的事業計畫同意書,我就不用1/10事業概要程序了。由於現在由建商發起的都更,程序中最困難的就是取得住戶同意,取得住戶同意的工作建商通常不會自己做,而是委由一些開發公司承辦,而通常在建商與開發公司所訂定的合約書中,都會約定以都更完成作為給付價金的要件,所以開發公司都是以完成都更為前提在取得同意,因此實務上幾乎所有建商都是採用一開始就取得4/5門檻的「事業計畫同意書」來辦理都更。

眼尖的讀者會發現,其實都更程序中最重要的是「事業計畫」同意比例,但本號大法官解釋卻是宣告幾乎都被省略的「事業概要」同意比例。這就是筆者認為釋字709對都更爭議問題解決有限的原因之一,事實上在都更程序中,最常見的爭議大致上有幾種:
1.   都更的結果和住戶同意的事業計劃有落差,住戶又無法撤銷事業計畫同意。
2.   被劃入卻又不同意都更的20%住戶(如文林苑王家)
3.   實施者估價與時價落差太大。
4.   實施者刻意蓋成大坪數,讓住戶無力負擔變換差額,被迫領取補償金。
5.   都更時間過於漫長,造成建商倒閉、住戶共同負擔額過高等問題。
造成這些爭議最大的原因,就如同黃茂榮大法官在協同意見書裡所說的「資訊不對等造成市場失效」,此時政府應「積極消除資訊不對等的情形使市場回復機能,切不可放大不對稱的資訊缺口,使當事人交易成本升高。」

而觀察現行的都更條例,其實有更多可以檢討的地方,例如賦予住戶隨時撤銷事業計畫同意的權利,強迫實施者在事業計畫前揭露給住戶的資訊齊備,還有發展政府配合的估價單位,避免由實施者操控價格等等都是消彌資訊不對等的方法。大法官對都更條例第19條第3項規定不必將計畫資訊送達住戶宣告違憲,是一個好的開始,但整體而言,釋字709對於現在都更爭議幫助其實非常有限。

當然大法官身為司法機關,僅能對聲請人所聲請釋憲的條文作違憲或合憲的宣告,而且還必須顧及不侵害立法者的立法自由,就如同林錫堯大法官在協同意見書所說,同意比例高低不代表對基本權的侵害,這之後還需要透過主管機關的核准,因此同意比例應該是立法者來決定,而不該由大法官以比例原則干涉之。而大法官採用實質援用理論將聲請人沒有聲請的第19條第3項宣告違憲,已經算是窮盡其力了。

本號解釋另一個為人詬病的部分,就是大法官主要是以違反「正當行政程序」來宣告違憲的,也就是說都更條例違憲的部分不符合程序正義。程序正義是保障實質正義的前提,這點不能否認,但是否意味者程序正義解決了,實質正義亦隨之而來,本號解釋則並未解決,或是說,並未達成共識。

作為15位大法官合議機構的大法官會議,必須以多數決來做出解釋,因此解釋文僅能採取過半數最大公約數的同意,很多論述就這麼妥協了,本號解釋很明顯的就是妥協下的產物,15位大法官中有10位大法官提出意見書,無論是協同、不同、部分協同部分不同意見書,總之表示2/3的大法官並不完全同意本號解釋的結論,或認為有補充的必要。

例如羅昌發大法官即引用「聯合國驅離家園標準」,參考民法、公寓大廈管理條例得出不同意拆遷戶的比例應該低於1/10,否則有不當侵害居住權和財產權的疑慮。蘇永欽大法官則直指多數意見對於都更門檻的同意比例論證根本是公私不分,錯亂論證,根本屬於立法層次的問題,大法官之間觀點以未盡相同,因此做出這樣看起來大刀闊斧,實際未置一詞的大法官解釋也就不太令人意外了。

Mo左右了騎士的勝負?

雖然大家都知道騎士是LBJ的球隊,但是觀察一下數據,真正左右騎士勝敗的人好像卻是Mo的表現。

在騎士贏球的時候 MO的成績是
FG% 3PT% PPG
0.487 0.525 18.8

然後騎士輸球的時候是這樣
FG% 3PT% PPG
0.343 0.225 12.8

命中率差了一成四 三分更是差到了三成 好像兩個不同的人一樣

看看LBJ
FG% 3PT% PPG Ast
in game won 0.508 0.364 28.3 8.1
in game lost 0.476 0.358 30.0 7.2


命中率和助攻略降 自己來的比率比較高 不過整體而言不是差的太多

其他人也不會差這麼多

Parker
FG% 3PT% PPG
in game won 0.458 0.473 7.4
in game lost 0.377 0.522 7.0

命中率雖然低不少 不過三分是比較準的

Shaq
FG% PPG RPG
in game won 0.550 10.1 6.4
in game lost 0.440 10.4 8.4

命中率下降 得分和籃板卻比較高

大V
FG% PPG RPG
in game won 0.543 8.2 8.0
in game lost 0.417 7.6 7.9



相對於其他人,MO在贏球和輸球的表現是巨大而且明顯的,做為球隊的第二得分點,當LBJ不在場上時 會造成球隊的進攻當機,當LBJ組織時,Mo的外線如果無法發揮,造成對手不必要過度對外線施加很大的壓力,收縮的防守圈反而使的內線更難以發揮。

Mo的表現對騎士真的很重要,比較不樂觀的是 從開季來到現在Mo有越來越冷的趨勢:

10月 11月 12月的三分命中率分別是
0.526 0.477 0.405
得分則是
18 17.8 16.5

呈現穩定下降的趨勢 ,這對球隊的戰績多多少少有影響。

畢竟LBJ雖然可靠 ,但是穩定的數據在那邊,球隊要贏還是需要Mo這個第二得分點的表現,希望Mo能維持打敗湖人的手感,繼續幫騎士創造佳績。

騎士的最後一塊拼圖

交易大限之前沒有人說得準,在談到騎士最後的補強之前,我們先來看看今年可能被交易的大咖。

1.Kevin Martin

在國王今年最佳新人Evans的優秀表現下,Martin的傷癒歸隊並沒有讓球隊更好,反而產生了排擠效應,小馬丁回來後,國王的戰績是0勝6負,雖然國王制服組並沒有明確說要交易Martin,但在今年季後賽毫無懸念的情況下,國王有可能以任何方式在未來以Evans為中心來打造球隊。

這時沒有人會因為功能相似的小馬丁被交易而感到意外。

2.Andre Iguodala

儘管先前七六人想打包小AI換來Tmac的大約已經被七六人總管否認,但這樣的乳摸一直都沒有停過,意味著Iguodala對於七六人來說或許不是非賣品。

不過我並不認為在迎來Iverson後會想交易掉他們的頭號球星,雖然Iverson今年又入選明星賽,但面對事實,他已經不年輕了。


3.Caron Butler

在Arenas鬧出擁搶事件後,巫師本季基本上已經放棄,現在全隊沒有人是不能交易的。

雖然這位30歲的老將今年的數據退步不少,不過據聞比起另外一位Jamison,大多數球隊顯然對這位具有單兵作戰能力的小前鋒有興趣的多了。

4.David West

黃蜂想省錢已經不是公開的秘密了,不過進行Devin Brown的交易之後,它們的薪資總和已經降到豪華稅門檻之下。

以黃蜂最進不錯的戰績和Chris Paul的力保之下,如果戰績不是太誇張,黃蜂交易他的機會可能不高。

5.Antawn Jamison

巫師被搶劫對象之二,連巫師迷都認為Jamison對巫師已經仁至義盡了,是該時候放他走了。

這個內外兼修,功能全面的大前鋒很意外的沒有引起太多人的興趣。的確undersize又不夠硬,年紀也不小的PF想要有好的賣相可能比較困難一點。


6.Troy Murphy

的確今年大鼻子的成績沒有去年來的漂亮,但在籃板上他的表現仍然非常優異,不過今年關於交易他的風聲斷斷續續的,並且溜馬開出的價碼都高得誇張,讓人懷疑溜馬真正想要交易他的態度,關於他我們還必須等待更多的消息。


7.Andrei Kirilenko

AK47在爵士的角色一直很詭異,不過最近他被拉上先發後打了幾場不錯的比賽,身手全能的他對每一隊來說都很好用,缺點就是約實在太大,為了讓他更能與這個大約名實相符,做一些交易展示是必須的。

以爵士近幾年的交易來看,現在不管是誰被交易或是誰被續約了,我都不會感到意外。


8.Elton Brand

Brand從去年就一直低潮到現在,就算76人想交易,以他的表現和不成比例的大約,大概不會有人想要。


9.John Salmons/Kirk Hinrich

這兩個人公牛大概只會交易掉一個,在換來Brown之後公牛的後場的確有點滿,不過在最近越打越好的情況,公牛不再進行交易的可能大概是最大的。

10.Amar'e Stoudemire

照太陽線在這樣低迷下去,那麼阿罵被交易掉也沒甚麼好奇怪的,更精確的說,他本人也已經非常高調的在討論被交易的事情,甚至說到籃網也沒有甚麼不可以的。



說完這十個交易對象,我們來討論一下騎士最有可能交易的對象:

交易大致上不脫三個原因:

若不是省錢,不然就是locker room的氣氛出了問題,當然最重要的就是補強。

騎士的老闆大概是目前聯盟前三捨得花錢的老闆,況且它們當務之急是拿下總冠軍留住LBJ,絕不可能在這個節骨眼省錢,自然不會為了省錢而做交易。

至於球隊的氣氛是聯盟數一數二的好,從沒傳出過誰和誰不合的事情,所以很明顯騎士是瞄準了今年的總冠軍來進行補強。

至於補強的方向,應該是PF>SG>C。

常看騎士比賽的人都很清楚,其是最不需要的就是純控球的PG,那是LBJ的工作。再來SF已經有替補Moon和堪用的新人Jawad,這個位置也算是很足夠。

在LBJ強大吸引包夾的能力下,騎士吸收了一堆掛著PG、SG的頂級射手們:MO、Gibson、West、Parker,整個騎士正常輪值中只有Shaq、V和Hickson不會投三分,甚至連Big Z都可以拉到三分去,所以騎士並不需要射手。

騎士最缺少的,就是有穩定單兵作戰能力的球員,Mo算是一個,不過主要攻擊手段僅限於跳投的他穩定性不夠,可以參考這一篇。Shaq勉強算一個,只要有人能餵球給他,他可以穩定的單打進10分。

但這樣並不夠,騎士能然需要尋求一個穩定的第二或第三得分點,在LBJ不在場上時能夠提供穩定的火力,為了避免壓縮Mo的發揮,最好是個內線球員,為了壓縮到Shaq的空間和LBJ切入的路線,最好能有中距離的跳投能力,能在禁區外策應。

翻回上述的人選可以發現三個人符合騎士的需求:

Jamison,Murphy和Amare。

這三個人都有中距離甚至三分線,都符合騎士的需求。
但騎士能拿出甚麼籌碼?

以騎士總管Ferry只賺不賠的個性,他當然希望只拿Big Z 1154萬的到期約去交易,然後再買斷讓他回到騎士,等於不損一兵一卒就可以搶劫那些要省錢的球隊。

但是其他球隊不是慈善事業,所以騎士能開出的籌碼目前看起來是Big Z的到期約加上買斷,潛力新人J.J. Hickson,可能再加上個第一輪或第二輪的選秀權。

這樣的條件適合重建中或準備重建,打算清出薪資空間今夏在自由市場好好幹一票的球隊,而最符合這個條件的就是巫師。

在確定Arenas本季沒戲唱之後,巫師這個球季大概只有陪打的份,現在主力年齡偏高的他們必須立即面臨的重建期的問題。也因此,Jamison一直是騎士首要交易的目標。

問題卡在以騎士和巫師的恩恩怨怨,巫師是否願意放人還要靜觀其變。

[翻譯專欄]:今年騎士當了笨蛋凱子嗎?

原文出處

Were This Year's Cavs Fool's Gold?

今年騎士當了笨蛋凱子嗎?

<照片>

LeBron James walked off the floor and out of Amway Arena in Orlando on Saturday night without talking to the media and shaking hands with the Orlando Magic following the Cavs' 103-90 loss in Game 6.

LBJ在輸掉和魔術的第六戰後,沒有和媒體說話,也沒有和魔術隊的隊員握手就離開了Amway Arena


One of my best friends from back in Ohio (who is not a Cavs fan, by the way) sent me a series of texts last month after the Cavs wrapped up homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs:
上個月,在騎士專注於在季後賽取得全主場優勢時,一個我的好朋友從俄亥俄州給我一些消息。


"Sooner or later, the Cavs organization will be exposed for having convinced people and themselves that they actually built a well-constructed team around LeBron. Ferry f***ed up big time with the Larry Hughes signing, and why the hell did he give Gibson close to the [midlevel exception] for four or five years? This team will be exposed sooner or later. I don't know how the hell you all won 66 games, but you are not even close to being the best team in the league. Your team is a sham. And [your guys'] frontcourt is old and decrepit and if you still think that [Anderson Varejao] deserves $7-8 million a year [then] you should stop watching basketball."
騎士遲早會圍繞著Lebron打造出一隻有良好合約的團隊,Ferry他媽的浪費了太多時間在簽下Larry Hughes,還有他給小吉那個接近45年的中產約真是天殺的愚蠢。這個團隊遲早會不行,我不知道他們在例行賽怎麼贏到66場的,但他們甚至還稱不上算是接近聯盟最好的球隊。這是個丟臉到家的團隊,鋒線球員是一堆老摳摳,這個白痴居然還幻想大V有值一年7-800萬的身價,他應該不要再看籃球才對。


I laughed at the time. I'll never forget it. I texted him back and told him he knew nothing about hoops and was just jealous because his Knicks had no shot in hell at LeBron.

Oh yeah, and I threatened to curbstomp him. Just kidding.
當時我看到他的訊息笑了出來,我印象非常深刻,並且回訊息告訴他:你這個大外行只是看到你的尼克被Lebron打的毫無招架之力,所以才在忌妒而已。


Now, a little over a month later, a dream season where a number of franchise records fell and a Finals appearance seemed like a lock came crashing down in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals in, of all places, Orlando. Not
Boston. Not Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Los Angeles. Orlando. Home of the Magic, the team that nobody even bothered to acknowledge as an elite team as recently as February.
一個月之後,也就是現在,所有的美夢都隨著東區冠軍戰在G6輸給魔術後煙消雲散。


And it happened amidst a very familiar scene: LeBron James trying to lead the team despite getting absolutely no help around him. Wasn't this supposed to be the year when he had help around him?
我們又看到了熟悉的畫面,LeBron一個人嘗試著在孤立無援的情況下,帶領團隊拿下勝利。難道有人能跳出來幫助他,不是我們所希望的嗎?


Wally Szczerbiak had a look at a wide-open 3 at the top of the arc in the first half. High school players could have at least hit the rim. You or I could have at least grazed the rim, prompting taunts of "brick" from anyone watching.
帥哥在上半場,有一個弧頂大控檔三分出手機會。那種情況下,高中球員出手至少可以碰到籃框,就算是我或是你出手也可以擦到籃框,但他跌破了所有人的眼鏡。


But here's a guy getting paid $13 million. He's one of the three highest-paid players on this 66-win team. What does he do? He airballs it. From the top of the arc. Point blank. Wide open. Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Airball. $13 million. Wally Szczerbiak.
他是個年新1300萬的傢伙,是在這個例行賽66勝的隊上拿前三高薪的傢伙。他做了什麼?他投了大麵包,在弧頂,大空檔,在東區冠軍賽的第六場比賽,我們派個年薪1300萬的傢伙上場投麵包。


He airballed a midrange jumper again in the fourth quarter.
他另外在第四節的時候,中距離也投了一個airball


Mo Williams showed just why it took two injuries for him to be a replacement on the East's All-Star team. Oh yeah, Mo put up an airball in the second half, too. All-Star point guard. Mo Williams. Airball. Eastern Conference Finals. Game 6. Mo Williams. All-Star.
Mo
則讓我們理解到,爲什麼他要等到龍王和Nelson都受傷,才靠著替補進了明星賽。是的,Mo在下半場也投了一個麵包。全明星賽得分後衛Mo Willaims在東區冠軍賽的第六場比賽投了一個大麵包。Mo Willaims!!!全明星賽!!!


I pointed this out earlier in the season following the Cavs' 29-point loss at
Orlando in April: This team's problem is that they are so far and away head and shoulders above 27 of the 29 other teams in the league. The disparity between them and those 27 teams makes them seem like worldbeaters.
在季末,騎士29分輸給魔術後,我就曾指出這一點:這個團隊的問題是他們對勝利的渴望比其他2729隊都還要強烈,這讓他們比起其他27隊看起來,更像是王者。


But to be a champion, you have to be better than anybody. And it's those two teams -- Orlando and
Los Angeles (and maybe, maybe, even Boston with a healthy Kevin Garnett) -- that will keep the Cavs from being a champion.
但要成為一個冠軍,你必須比任何人都還要優秀。而魔術和湖人正是這樣的隊伍(或許有著健康KG的超賽也是),他們會在騎士的奪冠之路上成為強力的競爭者。


Let's not even forget that the Magic were without Jameer Nelson, a real All-Star who was selected by the coaches over Williams. Rafer Alston played well in Nelson's absence, but if Jameer's playing, we're talking about a sweep. No question. And dude's only 27. And he'll definitely be back next year.
我們甚至不該忘記魔術隊還缺少了Nelson,一個在Mo前面被教練認可的真正全明星後衛。雖然街球王適時的補上了Nelson的位置,但假如他可以打,那騎士很可能會被橫掃。毫無疑問,老兄,他可是會在下個球季回到場上來。


The question is, who will be back for the Cavs next year? Who shouldn't be? And what needs to be done to make sure that the Cavs close the deal in June of 2010, a month before, oh, I don't know, some guy enters unrestricted free agency?
問題是,下個球季誰會回到騎士的球場上?在20106月前,騎士的制服組應該做出什麼決定?誰會進到自由市場?


Before we enter the roster evaluation, let me get this one thing across: LeBron James should not, under any circumstances, sign that contract extension this summer. This is a guy who has far more leverage with his franchise than any other player in professional sports right now. Think of one guy who has as much leverage and pull with his professional team in sports today.
在我們改變輪值表之前,讓我先確定:無論在任何情況之下,LeBron James不會在這個夏天延長合約。在所有的職業運動中,LBJ無疑是當今最具有影響力的選手,你能找出任何一個人像他這樣有影響力,並且帶領他的球隊到今天的成績嗎?


Nobody. Why should LeBron throw that away? And after the way the organizaton tried to convince him and fans that they finally have put together a good team around him? After the front office decided that team chemistry meant more than talent during the trade deadline?
不可能的!因此騎士的制服組並須說服LeBron和他的粉絲:騎士終將為Lebron量身訂作出一隻以他為中心的好球隊。


If LeBron inks that extension this summer, it may put the front office and Danny Ferry on easy street. They may not be as aggressive in this critical offseason.
因此如果LeBron換了新合約,對騎士制服組和Ferry而言,他們將不會像這個球季一樣的積極去打造更好的團隊。


Plus, LeBron can sign for an even bigger six-year deal in 2010. He gets to expand his brand and become the feature story of the summer. Even during the offseason in the midst of baseball and NFL training camps, LeBron would lead Sportscenter every night. His would be the first name off of every sports fans' tongue that summer.
此外,LeBron絕對可以在2010簽下一個更大的合約,即使那時候MLB的季賽和NFL的訓練營正如火如荼的展開,但關於他合約的種種消息也勢必佔據各大新聞版面。


Even if he decides to re-sign with the Cavs, why not make the world revolve around you? Average people like me and you are lying if we say that we wouldn't enjoy making everyone around us say "How high?" when we say "Jump!" LeBron will have that chance in 2010.
因此即便他決定要和騎士續約,他大可選擇一個世界都會圍繞著他轉的時機。


Also, congratulations are in order for the Orlando Magic. There is no doubt that they were the better team in this series. They got it done when they needed to, they protected their home court, and they are the better all-around team.
另外,恭喜魔術成功的捍衛了主場。這個系列賽,他們真的是一隻更好的隊伍。


And hats off to the real Executive of the Year, Otis Smith. Sure,
Denver's Mark Warkentien won the award this year on paper, but it's Smith who is the most brilliant front office mind in the game today. He cleared cap room in '07 and signed Rashard Lewis, who has emerged as a legitimate All-Star and borderline superstar. Smith then signed Mickael Pietrus in unrestricted free ageny last summer as his key guy off the bench and drafted an NBA-ready rookie in Courtney Lee out of Western Kentucky. He then traded for Rafer Alston at the trade deadline after Jameer Nelson was lost with his season-ending injury.
雖然金塊總管Mark Warkentien贏了了年度經理人,但Otis Smith才是最應該奪得這個獎項的人,他在07年簽進了Lewis,從自由市場找來了Pietrus,並且在選秀中選中了來自默默無名的西肯塔基大學的Courtney Lee。另外他也在Nelson受傷後補進了Alston(這段有夠馬後砲的!!!)


Smith was also
Orlando's Director of Player Development for two years before he became the GM in 2005, and he helped find Dwight Howard his sidekick right off the bat by drafting Nelson in the same draft. That same summer, he helped sign Hedo Turkoglu away from the San Antonio Spurs, of all teams.
2003年,也就Smith成為總管兩年前,他只是一個球員指導員,他協助發掘了魔獸,同時簽下了Nelson當他的左右手。同一個夏天,他也參與了從馬刺換來火槍兵的交易。


All that has led to a very balanced team that is an absolute nightmare to match up against. It took years worth of great work to do it, not just one year or one move. While Warkentien has the award and Ferry got the Sporting News' version, neither one has their team in the NBA Finals. Otis Smith does.
這些過程打造出一隻攻守均衡的團隊,這讓魔術可以強上好幾年,而不僅僅只是曇花一現。


Now, on with this thing we're supposed to call the Cavs' "supporting cast," in order of salary:

讓我們檢視一下騎士花出去的大把鈔票:

  • Ben Wallace: $14.5 million this year, $14 million in 2009-10 in last year

Reports following Game 6 in Orlando from our guy Chris Broussard at ESPN.com indicated that Wallace may be leaning towards retirement, something that has definitely come out of left field for the Cavs. From Broussard's report:

"I'm going to sit down and talk with my family, weigh my options and come up with a decision," the 34-year-old Wallace said after Cleveland's 103-90 loss. "Nothing's definite, but there's a strong possibility that this was my last season."

Wallace has one year and $14 million left on his contract. He has not yet spoken with Cavaliers management about retirement or a buyout.

"I haven't talked to Ben at all about his future," said general manager Danny Ferry, who was surprised to hear about Wallace's comments.

大班:今年1450萬,09-101400萬。

賽後報導中,大班說:「我要和我的家人商量一下我的決定,現在還不能確定,但很可能這是我的最後一個球季。」

他還剩下明年1400萬的約,也還沒向騎士討論過關於他退休或是買斷的事宜。


Wallace represents the remains of what was the failed Larry Hughes experiment. Instead of paying Hughes all this money, the Cavs pay it to Wallace. At the time of the trade that brought Wallace to
Cleveland in February of 2008, it was believed that the money would be better spent on Wallace, who could contribute more as a defensive big man, than on Hughes, who became a selfish me-first player to whom team success meant nothing.
在去年2月,騎士利用給Larry Hughes的錢買下了大班。大家相信大班可以為防守帶來更多能量,而Hughes只是個個人利益至上,視團隊於無物的球員。


Now, Wallace went from starting power forward to the bench. Trimming his trademark afro in the middle of the season was symbolic in showing that Wallace is now half the player he used to be. There should be at least three big men in this rotation ahead of Wallace, but there aren't. After Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Anderson Varejao, Wallace is next in line. He shouldn't be seeing more than 10 minutes of action in any game at this point.
現在,大班從先發PF打到板凳區,剃掉了他的招牌阿福羅頭,這些象徵著他已經沒有當年的勇猛。正常輪值上,至少應該要有三個大個子球員排在大班的前面,但在大Z和米粉頭之後,大班就是下一個選擇。他很難再得到超過10分鐘的上場時間。


Wallace's main purpose for 2009-10 should be to serve as a massive expiring contract in trade talks. However, Ferry showed that he couldn't move Szczerbiak's $13 million expiring this past offseason, so what should make anyone think that he can move Wallace's?

對大班在09-10的當務之急,就是想辦法交易掉這個肥約。既然Ferry今年沒有處理掉帥哥1300萬的約,那麼為何不把腦筋動到大班的約上呢?

  • Wally Szczerbiak: $13 million this year, unrestricted free agent this summer

GTFO, Wally. And please do let the door hit you on your way out.
帥哥:1300萬到期約,夏天將進入自由市場。

(消音)
Szczerbiak was one of the biggest flops on the Cavs this year. Just three years ago during the 2005-06 season, Szczerbiak was close to a 20-points-per-game scorer with
Minnesota and Boston. Just two years ago, in 2006-07, he was a 15-point scorer for Boston. Now, just two years later, Szczerbiak is absolute garbage, 7.0 points in the regular season off the bench and 3.6 in the playoffs.
帥哥是騎士今年犯的最嚴重的錯誤之一。三年以前,還在灰狼的帥哥是個接近單場20分的球員,過了一年,帥哥到波士頓變成了單場15分的球員,現在,他例行賽的成績只剩下7分,季後賽更退化到3.6分。


The Cavs' bench struggles have a lot to do with Szczerbiak, who would go scoreless on many nights despite getting at least 20 minutes of burn. He was supposed to at least provide an outside jumper. In the biggest game of the season, all he provided were airballs, below-average defense, and just three points on 20 percent shooting in 14 minutes.
騎士板凳的調度問題有一部分來自於帥哥20分鐘的上場時間,卻繳不出好的成績。他應該是個外線射手,但他在這幾場比賽中,帶來的是airball、低於平均的防守、以及20%的命中率。


Ferry should have gotten rid of this bum the minute he had the chance. There should be no chance in hell that Szczerbiak be brought back this offseason.

Ferry早就應該要趕弄走帥哥,不該給他任何的機會。

  • Zydrunas Ilgauskas ($10.8 million this year, $11.5 million player option for 2010-11)

Z:今年1080萬,明年有1150萬的球員選擇權

Easily the softest center in the NBA. Does anyone else have any idea how maddeningly frustrating it is to see a 7'3" center try to lay the ball in instead of dunk it aggressively with two hands? And how is a guy who's 7'3" not getting to more than eight rebounds per game in the playoffs?
NBA最軟的中鋒。當你看到一個73吋的大個子投籃而不是用雙手把球灌進籃框,並且一場比賽抓不到8個籃板,你還能期待什麼?


If the Cavs want a shooter, they should look for a shooting guard. But there is not a single championship team out there over the last decade that had a center in excess of seven feet play on the perimeter and shoot jumpers all day. The Celtics, Spurs, Heat, Pistons, and Lakers of years past -- champions of the last decade -- had hardasses up front who loved to bang bodies, get dirty, and grab every rebound in sight.
如果騎士騎士想要一個射手,應該去找個SG。最近十年沒有一個冠軍球隊放任一個7呎球員一天到晚在中距離跳投。馬刺、熱火、活賽和湖人,十年內的總冠軍隊伍們都擁有熱愛身體碰撞、做苦工和抓下每一個面前的籃板的球員。


In a perfect world, Z would start coming off the bench for the Cavs beginning with next year. He's not a starter anymore. On many nights, he can create matchup problems for opponents because of his unique skill set. But he's not the guy you want starting. Not anymore, at least. After last season, it's clear that this guy is on the decline.
下個球季,最完美的做法是讓大Z從板凳出發,他可以製造錯位,但他不是個你所期待的先發球員。


And once he's a free agent in 2010 (oh, he's picking up that player option this summer, for sure), let him go and don't ever look back. Unless he wants to come back at the veteran's minimum for a little over a million a year, which he should.

如果他沒有執行跳出合同(機率很小),在2010年他將會進入FA,那就讓他走吧。除非他想拿用老將條款最低薪。

  • Mo Williams ($8.3 million this year, signed through the 2011-12 season with a $8.5 million player option for 2012-13

Mo:年薪830萬到11-12年,12-13850萬的球員選擇權。

Here's where it gets interesting.

Mo Williams should not be a second scoring option for a championship team. He is, however, the perfect third option for a team looking to win titles. On this team, it should be LeBron as the first option, then a good post scorer as the second option, then Mo on the perimeter as the third option. Not LeBron first and then Mo for three after that.
對冠軍球隊而言,Mo並不是一個第二得分守的好選擇,他是很好的三分選擇,但一個優秀的低位單打球員才應該是騎士的第二得分點。Mo的外線應該是第三個選擇才對。


Against the rest of the league not named
Orlando or Los Angeles, having Mo as the second option works. Other teams have no answer for LeBron other than double- or triple-teaming him. When that happens, Mo is there to shoot all day.
當對上魔術或湖人以外的球隊,Mo總是被當作第二點來使用,但那是因為那些隊伍拿LeBron沒輒,因此在LeBron被包夾甚至三人包夾時,Mo總是可以在外線找到出手機會。


Against a good and athletic defensive team like
Orlando, Mo couldn't counter Orlando's 3-point assault. When the other team is draining 3's, it's up to Mo to counter that attack with his own. He didn't shoot 43.6 percent from downtown during the regular season for nothing.
當對上魔術時,Mo對魔術的三分攻勢無力回擊,例行賽43.6%的三分命中率在季後賽完全失去準頭。


The question here now is, what to do with Mo Williams? If the Cavs want to add a legitimate superstar next to LeBron (which Mo is NOT), they'll have to make anyone and everyone on this roster not wearing No. 23 available. That includes Williams, who enjoyed the best year of his career. Teams would absolutely love to have him as a combo guard who can shoot and handle the ball.
現在的問題是,假如騎士要迎來另一個僅次於LeBron的超級巨星,騎士該拿Mo怎麼辦?每個穿23號球衣以外的人都有可能被拿去交易,那當然包括Mo在內。儘管騎士喜歡像他這樣的雙能衛。


Sure, he fit well with LeBron, but he's not the perfect fit, and there are better options out there. If and when guys like Chris Bosh and Amar'e Stoudemire become available this summer, it's hard to imagine why these teams would want to deal their best players to the Cavs when Ferry isn't even willing to deal his second-best player.
雖然他和LeBron配合的很好,但稱不上是完美。龍王和阿罵將在夏天進入自由市場,不過很難想像暴龍和太陽會拿他們最好的球員,和不想交易自己第二好球員的Ferry談交易。


When LeBron averages close to 40 points in the series and his team still loses in six games, the finger points directly at his "sidekick." Going into Saturday's Game 6, Williams was shooting 35.3 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from downtown, and 84.0 percent from the stripe in this series. This is the same guy who shot 46.7 percent, 43.6 percent, and 91.2 percent, respectively, during the regular season.
雖然LeBron在這個系列賽平均分來到了40分,但騎士還是輸球。原因指向了大帝的左右手MO,他在系列賽的命中率是35.3%,三分球33.3%,罰球84%。而在例行賽分別是46.7%43.6%91.2%


All-Star sidekicks live for the big stage like this one. Just ask Scottie Pippen or Kobe Bryant circa 2000. Or Tony Parker, the '07 Finals MVP. Or Paul Pierce, the '08 Finals MVP. Mo Williams is not of that caliber. And unless the Cavs get a sidekick of that caliber, they're not hanging banners from The Q any time soon.

明星級的夥伴扮演的角色非常重要,像2000年附近的皮朋,科比,或是法國跑車在07年,PP08年當曾當選季後賽MVPMo不是那塊料,只靠他的話,騎士很難拿到總冠軍。

  • Anderson Varejao: $5.7 million this season, $6.2 million player option for 2009-10

V:今年570萬,明年620萬加上球員選擇權。

Here's the same guy who single-handedly set the Cavaliers back in 2007 with his silly and unprecedented holdout in restricted free agency. Now, after two years of putting up career numbers -- which would be nothing more than about eight points and seven boards a game, mind you -- and inspiring league-wide fines for flopping, Varejao is an unrestricted free agent. And as if $5.7 million isn't enough for a guy who should be a career backup and energy guy instead of a starting power forward, Varejao's head has probably swollen to match the size of his native country of Brazil in size.
07年和騎士的鬧出合約風波的兩年後,他還是一個87籃板的傢伙。如果570萬對一個只有活力的板凳而言太少,那麼他大概頭殼壞去了。


This guy isn't going to opt out of a contract that pays him $6.2 million for next season just to get a couple hundred thousand more. He'll want at least $8 million. Varejao has become staple with this organization for five years now, and his Sideshow Bob appearance has become a trademark for the fans and the Cavs. But truth be told, his contract right now is perfect for him. He does do a lot of good things, and he helps this team win games.

V不會滿足於620萬而不執行跳出合同,他要至少800萬。但說老實話,現在的合約對他而言剛剛好,他確實做了蠻多事情,並且也能幫助球隊贏球。


However, for a championship team, he's better off helping a team win games off the bench. He's worth no more than $6 million a year. In fact, if I'm Varejao's agent, I'd tell him to pick up that option in these tough economic times. Teams aren't going to pony up big money to sign Anderson Varejao. The Cavs have already shown him that they're not going to give in to his contract demands.
但對於一個冠軍球隊而言,他更好的角色是板凳。他大約值600萬的身價。如果我是大V的經濟人,我會叫他執行跳出合約,騎士不會想花更多錢去和大V續約。


Plus, with a ton of teams clearing cap room for 2010, Varejao might get overpaid by some GM who can't land anybody but feels the pressure to make a move. Remember, that's how a parade of big men in this league get the outrageous contracts that they do. By '10, the economic climate might be a little better than it is now, as well. But he's not getting paid this summer. Nobody's lining up to get a chance to sign him at $8 million a year any time soon.
此外,考慮到爲了2010年清出了重磅即薪資空間,大V對於很多GM來說太貴了。因此選擇現在進入FA是比較好的,不過800萬的話,無論哪一年都沒有人會想要簽他的。


And if they are, then fine: They can have him. Especially when easy stopgaps like Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace are available.

如果大V真的選擇跳出,那麼可以考慮的替補人選有溪蛙和馬岱。

  • Sasha Pavlovic: $4.5 million this season, $4.9 million (only $1.5 million guaranteed) for 2009-10

沙蝦:今年450萬,明年490

The time has come to pull the plug on this ridiculous experiment. Pavlovic was a key starter in the '07 Finals run, and he seemed like he was finally coming around to realize his potential of being a core player that can score and hit the 3.
07
年的時候,沙蝦扮演了關鍵的角色,他表現的好像他了解自己的潛力,而且投進了關鍵的三分。


Then, this P.O.S. followed Varejao's lead and had his own little holdout that same summer. Not that he had actually done that much to warrant holding out (but then again, neither did Varejao), but unlike Varejao, Pavlovic never looked the same after that. Instead of being a starter like he was in '07, he couldn't even crack the rotation off the bench.
和大V一樣,他在07年夏天和騎士有一點合約問題。


Fortunately for the Cavs, that $4.9 million for next year can still be used in a trade, with the receiving team having the option of shaving $3.5 million off that salary and giving him nothing more than the $1.5 million that he's guaranteed. Being called upon to come off the bench and help out defensively in this
Orlando series was the last chance for Pavlovic, and he fell flat on his face. There is no way in hell that Pavlovic should be back next year with the Cavs.
幸運的是,他的490萬在明年可以拿來交易。要他的人只要給他150萬就好。對魔術一役是沙蝦最後的機會,下個球季他不可能再回到騎士來。


And Ferry can and better find a replacement for him in the draft. A good one. And don't give up on him too early (hello, Shannon Brown).

可以取代他的人可以從選秀找,並且不要太早放棄這個新秀。(像是現在到湖人的發光發熱的Shannon Brown)

  • Delonte West: $3.8 million this year, $4.2 million next year, $4.6 million in 2010-11

West:今年380萬,明年42010-11460萬。

Delonte is the only guy on this roster outside of LeBron that I would want to keep as a Cavalier. He's the only guy that's really worth anything. He's tough as nails. He'll do whatever it takes to contribute to the game. If his shot isn't falling (which, unfortunately for him, it wasn't during this series), he'll try to be a pest on defense. Or he'll try to post up on the low block. Or he'll try to set screens. Or he'll try to facilitate ball movement.
West
LeBron以外唯一一個我想留在騎士輪值的球員,他的表現非常超值,無論在防守,低位單打,火鍋或是傳導上都表現的很優秀。


Whatever you want him to do, Delonte West will do it for you. It's a shame that fools like Pavlovic and Szczerbiak made more money this season than this guy. Delonte West is the only member of the Cavaliers outside of LeBron James that I actually respected more after this
Orlando series. Seriously, if the Cavs do decide to trade Mo while his value is high, West can easily slide into the point guard spot.
無論你要求他做什麼,他都會去做。而像帥哥或是沙蝦,拿了這麼多錢卻完完全全比不上人家,真應該感到慚愧。假設騎士要交易MoWest也可以補上PG的位置。


I love this guy. And if you're a Cavs fan, you should, too. Definitely a keeper. And he's definitely the only one.

我超愛這傢伙,如果你是騎士迷,那麼你應該也會喜歡他。(沒錯!)他是絕對要留住的人。

  • Daniel Gibson: $3.7 million this year, signed through 2012-13 at $4.7 million in final year

小吉:今年370萬,簽到12-13470萬。

Exactly two years ago, this guy was a Cleveland heartthrob. Now, he's just a role player who can't play his role.
相較於兩年前帶給大家的激情,小吉現在只是個無法扮演好自己角色的功能球員。


Gibson's playoff numbers went down significantly this postseason compared to the playoffs from each of the last two seasons. However, he had a decent contract at a decent price, and like Pavlovic's contract, the Cavs' control that last year (2012-13). Gibson's a nice shooter to have off the bench, and that's all that he will be for this team going forward.
小吉的合約和他前兩年的表現比起來還算OK,和沙蝦一樣,騎士掌握小吉12-13年的合約。他是個不錯的板凳射手,但也僅止於此。


He could also be a valuable throw-in if a deal for a star player comes along. But in the meantime, all teams could use a shooter off the bench like Gibson. When he gets hot, watch out. But Boobie's as streaky as you can get.

他猛起來的時候很猛,但時常不穩定。

  • J.J. Hickson: $1.3 million this year and $1.4 million for 2009-10

JJ:今年130萬,明年140萬。

It's still much too early to see what this guy can contribute, but his selection was more about addressing the age of the frontcourt. Nevertheless, Hickson should and must be thrown into any and all deals involving a superstar to sweeten the pot. Teams are always looking for young potential to go with incoming talent, and Hickson is only 20-years old.

現在討論他還太早,不過他應該會在重磅交易中扮演配角角色,吸引喜愛年輕肉體的隊伍注意。

  • Joe Smith: $1.2 million this year, unrestricted free agent this summer

This guy just fell out of the rotation completely during this Orlando series. His addition was just to have a veteran big man for the stretch run. Nothing more. His days in Cleveland are done.

老喬:120萬,夏天進入自由市場。

他在對上魔術的時候被排在輪值之外,他在騎士的日子應該結束了。

  • Tarence Kinsey: $797,000 for this year, unrestricted free agent this summer

Buh-bye.

Kinsey797千,夏天進入FA,和他說掰掰吧!

  • Darnell Jackson: $450,000 this year, $736,000 for 2009-10, and $854,000 for 2010-11

Between Jackson and Hickson, it's Jackson who can contribute faster. His ceiling certainly isn't as high as Hickson's, but he can evolve into a solid defensive big man off the bench. If Jackson begins to start knocking down that midrange jumper that opponents were giving him in the rare occasions when he was on the floor, then say hello to your long-term replacement for Joe Smith and Ben Wallace.

Jackson:今年45萬、明年73萬、後年85(好怪的約)

他的天賦沒有JJ好,但他的防守更優秀,如果他能把中距離練起來,那麼自然會有機會可以取代老喬和大班的角色。
