Jeremy Lin Could Stumble on '$10MM Per Year Problem' This Offseason

Jeremy Lin, who went through an up-and-down year with the Los Angeles
Lakers, needs to take a paycut for his next contract or else it's going
to be a very long offseason for the Asian-American standout.
林書豪,身為一位本季在湖人隊大起大落的球員,下一份合約的薪水有可能下降,
或者這位亞裔運動員將會在休賽季花費相當長的時間來脫穎而出.
After bagging a career-high $15 million base salary last season (the
final year of the three-year, $25 million contract he signed with the
Houston Rockets in 2012), Lin's next contract is estimated to take a
major dip as a result of a forgetful run with the purple-and-gold.
在他生涯最高薪的15M本季走完後(火箭在2012年給的3年25M合約最後一年薪水),
林的下一份合約估計會以跳過淌了整季紙巾軍團渾水的結果來進行.
Although Lin's 2014-15 season numbers (11.1 points & 4.6 assists on 42
percent from the field / 36 percent 3-point line per ESPN Stats) aren't
shabby at all for an NBA point guard, unmet expectations along with his
failure to live up to the hype surrounding his tenure with the Lakers has
somewhat dented his free-agency stock.
雖然Lin在這一季打出的數據(場均11.1分,4.6助,42%命中率與36%三分命中率)在NBA的
控衛中並不糟糕,在湖人失敗且未滿足期待的賽季,會削弱他在自由球員市場的身價.
However, Lakers legend and current NBA analyst Mychal Thompson told ESPN
Radio Los Angeles that he still thinks the 26-year Lin would lobby for an
eight figure per year contract, regardless of what NBA analyst and
executives values him.
然而,湖人傳奇球星,現任的NBA球評湯普森(K湯他爸)在洛杉磯ESPN廣播中,
認為26歲的林書豪會在NBA球團的球探或高層評估中,尋求一份每年8位數的合約.
According sources close to situation, Lin believes his strong performance
after the All-Star break, when he averaged 14.4 points and 5.2 assists per
game in the month of March, only proved that he deserves an $8MM to $10MM
per year contract.
依可靠消息來源指出,林書豪相信他在明星賽週之後到三月間的強力表現,
打出了場均14.4分與5.2助的成績,可以證明他是有資格拿每年8~10M的合約的.
Very messy offseason is in the offing if Lin continues to push for an eight
figure asking price. While there's no doubt Lin is still one of the better
playmakers to hit the free-agency market this summer, his valuation might be
too much over the top to the extent that he may scare away interested teams
and run out of offers in the end. It's a problematic scenario that can only
be averted if he somehow agrees to accept at least $5MM a year deal, which
is the fair valuation of Lin, according to most NBA insiders and GMs.
若林書豪繼續推動八位數的要價,這紊亂的休賽期即將來到.雖然林書豪依然是今年自由
球員市場中更好的進攻組織者之一,這點毫無疑問,但他自估的過高價值可能會嚇跑對他
有興趣的球隊.然而,這也同時以一個有疑問的劇本去避免林書豪莫名其妙地同意接受至
少每年5M的合約
