流言：湖人会交换奥多姆？
RUMOR HAS IT…
Today's section is geared exclusively towards the latest rumors floating around the NBA …
今天这部分主要关注下最近在NBA铺天盖地的流言。
Lamar Odom's Salary Part II: I went to the expert to get a more complete breakdown on Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom's salary. Cap guru Larry Coon was happy to oblige:
奥多姆的工资部分：我从专家那获得了湖人前锋奥多姆详细的工资状况。Larry Coon条例工资帽施加了恩惠。
Odom signed a contract in the summer of 2003 with the Miami HEAT at a base salary of $58.5 million. In the original deal was a signing bonus of $5,781,576. According to the rules of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, signing bonuses are amortized over the life of the contract. In this case, Odom's signing bonus counts on the cap an extra $963,596 - each and every year of his deal.
他在03年夏天跟迈阿密热队签了一份基本工资5800万的合约。在旧合约中有个$5,781,576的签约奖金。根据劳资谈判合同的规则，额外奖金是根据合约的时间长度而分期偿还的。这样的话，他的合约每年签约额外奖金得套上额外的$963,596。
(One technical note - bonuses are not amortized over option years - player, team or ETO. In Lamar's case this is immaterial).
（技术上的说明--这奖金并不是跟着球员选项权，球队选项权或者ETO条例而分期偿还，奥多姆的这种情况是无形的。）
Odom also benefited from a $7.425 million trade bonus when he was traded to the Lakers in 2004. That too is spread out over each year of his deal (except 2003/4 which was before the trade) - even though the money was paid up front. His trade bonus adds an additional $1.485 million to the cap each year.
奥多姆在04年转会到湖人时也获得了$7425000的交易补偿金。那也是随着合约年数递增的（除了03-04赛季交易未进行）
To break it all down, Odom received $9 million base salary from Miami plus the entire $5,781,576 signing bonus for a total of $14,781,576 in his first and only year with the HEAT (2003/4). This manipulation from Miami was to discourage the Los Angeles Clippers from matching their offer sheet (Odom was a restricted free agent). The actual cap number for the HEAT that season was just $9,963,596.
包括900万的基本工资和全部$5,781,576的签约奖金，奥多姆在热队的第一年也是唯一一年一共得到 $14,781,576 。热队的这种处理是要阻碍快船不能提出匹配的合约单（那是奥多姆是受限制自由球员）。热队那赛季的实际工资帽也才 $9,963,596。
In 2004/5, Odom earned a base salary of $8.1 million from the Lakers but received the additional $7.425 trade bonus in a lump sum - making a total of $15.525 million in his first year with the team. Lamar's cap number was significantly lower at $10,548,596 which included $963,596 and $1.485 for his two bonuses.
在湖人04/05的第一个赛季他就赚到810万的基本工资还有那附加的$7425000的交易补偿金，总数也就达到了$15525000.他的工资帽（包括两次的补偿金）也就远远地小于他的工资了。
Those bonus numbers remain constant over the final four years of his deal, adding an additional $2,448,596 to his cap number - with the extra monies paid out in 2003 and 2004.
那些额外补偿金会在后面四年的合约中继续存在，包括03，04年已经支付的总共是$2,448,596。
For the coming 2008/9 season, Odom's base salary is in fact $11.7 million - the amount the Lakers are actually on hook for. His cap number, with the two bonuses factored in, is $14,148,596.
在到来的新赛季里，他实际跟湖人挂钩的基本工资是1170万，他的工资帽包括两个补偿金就达到了$14,148,596.
Should Odom be traded at any point before the February deadline - his trade value would be $14.1 million instead of the $11.7 million base salary.
应该在二月交易截止前卖掉他吗---他的交易值将不是1170万的基本工资而是1410万的总额。
Lamar Odom the Player: 作为一个球员
So what exactly is up with Odom and the Lakers? It seems like Coach Phil Jackson has chosen Lamar to be the preseason "whipping boy" as he tries to find a way to get the most out the enigmatic forward.
现在奥多姆和湖人的关系怎样呢？看起来菲尔教练已经选择了奥多姆作为季前赛的“代罪羊”，因为他尽力去寻找发挥这个潜力前锋的实力。
Jackson wouldn't call Odom's play in the team's first preseason game "basketball." Instead he likened Lamar's play to "curling or doing some other kind of sport."
教练不会认为奥多姆的第一场季前赛是在打篮球。相反他比喻成奥多姆在进行着其他运动。
Additionally Jackson has discussed starting forward Trevor Ariza, moving Odom to the bench. In the meantime he may remain a starter - but at point guard instead of small forward. Jackson also criticized Odom for not working to improve his game over the offseason (opting instead to rest and heal from tendinitis).
另外杰克逊还讨论了启用阿里扎首发，把奥多姆放板凳的计划。也许他还是首发，但是打控卫而不是小前锋。他还批评奥多姆没有在休赛期提升状态（而是选择休息和治疗腱炎）
The Lakers are trying to fit Odom into an evolving roster that features center Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol and star guard/forward Kobe Bryant. Jackson generally prefers to play Bryant at small forward to take advantage of the attack position in the triangle offense - which could minimize Odom's role even further.
湖人队尝试着把奥多姆摆进正在进化中，拥有中锋拜纳姆，大前锋加索尔和明星后卫科比的花名册中。教练总体上还是愿意科比去打小前锋，利用其在三角进攻的进攻优势，而这样就会更加减少了奥多姆的作用。
If Odom doesn't work at the point - and isn't a big contributor off the bench - perhaps the Lakers look to move him. Odom's contract expires this summer and a number of teams have already expressed interest.
如果奥多姆不在状态或者在板凳没大贡献的话，那么湖人会考虑卖了他。他的合约今年夏天就要到期，而一些球队已经对他表示出兴趣。
To date - the Lakers are hesitant to let go of such a versatile player especially when he's Gasol's primary back up at power forward. Newcomer Josh Powell has had a strong camp. If the Lakers can get a consistent 15-20 mpg out of Powell, Odom may be expendable.
目前为止湖人还是很不舍得放掉这么全面的球员特别是加索尔才刚刚回到他大前锋的位置。新人约什 鲍威尔在训练营表现抢眼。如果湖人一直给鲍威尔15到20分钟的上场时间，那么奥多姆就可能被卖掉了。
The Catch: There isn't much beyond speculation on the rumor front as far as who the Lakers would want for Odom. While a number of options are sure to come up throughout the season, the financial implications of trading Odom could be prohibitive.
谣言板上不会有很多湖人想用奥多姆来交换的人。但是这个赛季肯定会有一些可选择球员出现，交换他蕴含的财政数目可能会过高。
One player the Lakers have been rumored to like for a long time is Chicago Bulls point guard Kirk Hinrich. While there isn't any reason to think discussions are active on that front, to understand the economics, let's assume a deal could be fashioned for Lamar Odom (other players could be throw-ins to make salaries match like Chris Mihm, Cedric Simmons, Drew Gooden, etc., but that's outside the scope of this discussion for the moment).
谣传中湖人已经想要得到很久的球员就是公牛队的控卫辛里奇。让我们假设一个可行的交易奥多姆的方案，考虑下资金问题，就知道这种猜想是行不通的。
Hinrich is set to earn $10 million this coming season (plus incentives). He has a unique contract that progressively decreases over the next three seasons ($9.5, $9.0 and $8.0 million respectively). For a starting caliber point guard, that may be reasonable but would that salary work within the Lakers' budget?
辛里奇这赛季预计包括奖金能赚到1000万。他的合约比较独特，下三个赛季逐年减少，分别是950万，900万，800万。对于一个有能力的控卫来说，这对湖人是合理可行的，但预算方面行得通吗？
With Kobe Bryant (assuming he either doesn't opt out, or does so and re-signs), Andrew Bynum (who is expected to get a massive extension that would kick in next year) and Pau Gasol, the Lakers could have ~$53 million invested in just three players.
拥有科比（假设他不跳出合同或者跳出然后续约），拜纳姆（预测下年会有巨大的扩张），加索尔三人，湖人可以有5300万来投资在这三个人。
Add in four players making between $4.8 and $6.5 million (Vladimir Radmanovic, Sasha Vujacic, Derek Fisher and Luke Walton), Jordan Farmar ($1.9 million) plus a few bodies to round out the roster and the team's payroll climbs ever higher.
再用在408万到650万之间的价格加进来四个球员（拉德马诺维奇，武贾西奇，费舍尔和沃顿），法玛尔（190万），加上一些来轮换阵容，球队的账单就会爬得更高。
Trevor Ariza is a free agent next summer. If he proves to be as valuable as the Lakers hope this season, he could be set to earn a new deal in the $5 million range.
阿里扎下个夏天成为自由球员。如果这赛季他像人们期望的那样有价值，那么他能够获得一份500万上下的新合同。
Add in Hinrich's $9.5 million and the team's salary could hit $94 million BEFORE accounting for a $21 million luxury tax hit. Would Dr. Jerry Buss consider shelling out $115 million in payroll - even for a championship caliber team?
再加上辛里奇的950万那么球队的工资将达9400万，先别算上2100万的奢侈税。巴斯老板会为1亿1500万的工资买单吗，甚至说为了一个冠军强队？
Certainly the Lakers could look to shed salary but Fisher and Vujacic are likely to stay, and neither Radmanovic nor Walton has the kind of contract other teams are readily willing to acquire.
湖人队肯定会去设法解决这大账单，但是费舍尔和武贾西奇很可能会留下的，其他队也不会意愿去接受拉德马和沃顿的那种合约。
Trading Odom for long-term salary may be prohibitive for the Lakers, but so too could re-signing him. Lamar is likely to want at least as much as what Hinrich is paid - probably more.
交易奥多姆对于湖人长期的工资来说还是会很高，所以也可以跟他续约。他可能至少也要辛里奇那么多的工资，甚至更高。
There is a reasonable chance that the Lakers simply let him play out his contract and leave in free agency, opting instead to build around the ever-improving Odom-less core.
对于湖人，一个可行的方案就是让他跳出合同到自由球员市场，而不是选择围绕在减少其重要性的点上。
Take the theoretical Hinrich salary (or a new Odom deal) out of the equation and the team's salary drops to about $96 million (including tax). Remove Ariza and the Lakers' payroll could be closer to $86 million in total.
算上理论上辛里奇的工资（或者奥多姆的新工资）那么球队总薪金（（包括缴税）下落到9600万。去掉阿里扎则工资单总共接近8600万。
The burden falls upon Dr. Buss to green light what could be the league's highest payroll next season. On paper a Hinrich for Odom deal might make a lot of sense for the Lakers in that they get a steady, two-way point guard on a reasonable (but not inexpensive) three-year deal.
压力落在了巴斯老板，他来决定下赛季联盟最高价的工资单会是多少。理论上，用奥多姆交换辛里奇对于湖人是很不错的买卖，这样他们用一个合理（但不贵）的三年合约获得一个稳定的控卫。
Additionally there's no sense at this point the Bulls will be willing to make such a deal. Fantasy GM's - substitute another player in Odom's stead - the financial quandary remains the same.
另外公牛方面也不会愿意做这个买卖。寻求奥多姆代替者的完美想法由于财政上的困惑还是一样无法解决。
It's no wonder the team raised ticket prices, especially when season ticket holders are willing to renew at a 99% clip.
这就难怪球队会提升球票价格啦，特别是当季票拥有率冲上99%的时候。
