Luke Walton 并不想去思考这个问题，但是这是他在离开湖人队后职业生涯的开始。[/color]
Quote:[indent]An unrestricted free agent in July, Walton will have some bidders for his services, including his current employers[/indent].
[color=#6600cc]今年的七月，NBA 自由市场上将不会有严格的限制，而Walton 到时也将和其他的竞争者共同角逐，
并且包括现在队中的角色球员。[/color]
Quote:[indent]He was drafted in the second round by the Lakers in 2003 and played well enough to earn a two-year contract extension before the 2005-06 season, but his value has increased with a season that includes career highs of 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists a game. He is also shooting a career-best 40.8% from three-point range and 47.9% overall.[/indent]
[color=#6600cc]沃顿是在2003年第二轮选秀中被湖人选中的，在2005-2006赛季之前他拥有一份为期两年的合同，
而到现今为止，他的表现也算让人满意。但是凭借本赛季平均每场11.5分、4.8个篮板和4.4次助攻的表现，他现在的价值已经增加了许多，同时从整体上看，他的三分球命中率也从40.8%上升到了47.9%。[/color]
Quote:[indent]Walton, 27, is earning $1.375 million this season but could vault into contract territory of $4 million to $5 million annually. With nine games left in the regular season, he said he wasn't peering too far down the road.[/indent]
[color=#6600cc]Walton, 27岁，在本赛季已经获得了一份价值1375000美元的合同，但是他仍然能够在每年额外拥有一份价值约在4000000~5000000美元的契约。“在本赛季还有九场常规赛的前提下，他说自己并不想停下前进的脚步。”[/color]
Quote:[indent]"Not really," he said. "It's kind of like the best part of the season right now, and then we're going into the playoffs, but I've obviously had the thought there is a chance that I'll be in another city next year.[/indent]
[color=#6600cc]“其实并不是很愿意”walton说到。“这个赛季，我感觉自己处在最佳的位置上，并且我们将冲击季候赛，但是很显然，我不得不去面对在下个赛季有可能出现在另一个城市的球场上的事实。”[/color]"
Quote:[indent]I love it here. I grew up right down the street in San Diego. I've got my family nearby. I love the coaching staff. The people upstairs have been great, and my teammates too, but you're only a free agent once or twice in your career, so you obviously have to go look at other places as well."[/indent]
[color=#6600cc]“我喜欢这里，我在San Diego.的街道上长大，同时，我的家人也在附近不远的地方。不仅因为这些，我还喜欢这儿的教练以及执教方式。这儿的人们让我感觉很棒，当然这也包括我的队友。
但是，你在职业生涯中只有大概两到三次的自由选择，所以你必须也看到其他城市的优点。[/color]
Quote:[indent]If the Lakers decide to sign Walton, they have two possibilities.[/indent]
[color=#6600cc]
如果湖人决定交易walton，那么他们有两个选择。[/color]
Quote:[indent]They hold Walton's "Bird rights," which, generally speaking, allow teams to offer their free agents better contracts than competing teams. Under such guidelines, the Lakers could offer Walton a six-year deal while competing teams could offer only five-year deals.[/indent]
[color=#6600cc]留住walton，让球队管理层给他比其他球队更高的待遇（意思就是薪金），而湖人也将与walton达成一笔维持六年的合同，至于其他球队也只能提供一份仅仅5年的合同。[/color]
Quote:[indent]Or, the Lakers could re-sign him by using up most or all of their midlevel exception, an annual exception that allows teams over the salary cap to sign a free agent, even one of theirs, for up to five years and about $30 million.[/indent]
[color=#6600cc]或者，湖人可以f放弃walton，这样更多中等水平球员的发挥空间才会相应的提高。
同时，湖人也可以将这些腾出来的薪金让球队拥有更多的选择，而5年之内最多也可以达到3000000美元。 [/color]
