In the modern NBA, you need a strong point guard to even have a chance to
compete. Without one, you’re lost.
One of the top options set to come available this offseason in free agency is
Utah Jazz floor general Ricky Rubio, who will receive a good amount of
interest from teams lacking an adequate lead ball-handler. Rubio is coming
off a season in which he averaged 12.7 points, 6.1 assists, 1.3 steals and
1.2 triples nightly on 40.4 percent shooting, and helped play an important
role on a very good Utah team.
在現代NBA中，你需要一個強大的控球後衛才有機會競逐總冠軍。沒有這樣的球員，你就
註定要輸了。
這個休賽季期間在自由球員市場上所能得到的最佳選擇之一就是 Jazz 隊的地板指揮
官 Ricky Rubio，他將會吸引那些目前缺乏優秀控球員的球隊很多的關注。Rubio在本賽
季平均每場可以得到12.7分，6.1次助攻，1.3次抄截與1.2次三分球，投籃命中率達到
40.4％，並且在一支非常出色的猶他州球隊中發揮了重要作用。
More than just the statistics, though, Rubio is known around the league as a
great teammate who won’t complain about his role and will work hard on both
ends of the floor every minute he’s in the game – and those traits will
help greatly raise his stock as a free agent.
Below, we break down four potential free-agent landing spots for the Spanish
maestro.
除了統計數據之外，Rubio在聯盟中也以一名偉大的隊友而聞名，他從不抱怨自己的角色
，並且在比賽中每一分鐘都會在球場上努力的工作 - 這些特質將都有助於大大提高他成
為自由球員後的籌碼。
以下，我們為這位西班牙大師解析四個潛在的自由球員落腳處。
INDIANA PACERS 印第安納溜馬
The Indiana Pacers, a team built to be a playoff contender for at least the
foreseeable future, would make a lot of sense as a potential Rubio suitor for
a variety of reasons.
For starters, their starting point guard of the last two years, Darren
Collison, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, meaning they could
have an opening at the lead-guard spot that will need filling. What’s more,
while Collison was productive and efficient over his last two seasons as a
Pacer, his most effective role on offense was that of a spot-up shooter.
Indiana could use a point guard who can take over a larger portion of the
offense, and allow Victor Oladipo to play off the ball more often than he has
since 2017-18.
印第安納溜馬，一支至少在可預見的未來將成為季後賽競逐者的球隊，基於各種原因，很
有可能成為Rubio的潛在下家。
在先發陣容中，他們過去兩年的先發控衛Darren Collison在今年夏天將成為一名非受限
自由球員，這意味著他們將在先發後衛的位置上開出一個空缺。更重要的是，雖然
Darren Collison 在溜馬過去兩個賽季中的積效與效率都很高，但他在進攻端最有效的角
色卻是個定點射手。溜馬隊可以採用一名控球後衛來接手更多的進攻組織，並允許
Victor Oladipo 能比 2017-18 賽季打更多的無球打法。
Rubio could be just that guy.
Additionally, with the rock in his hands more often, Rubio may be able to
regain the form he had back in his Minnesota Timberwolves days, when he was
one of the best playmakers in the league and a 9.0-plus-assist-per-game
player.
Rubio可能就是辣個人。
此外，隨著一球在手的時間更頻繁，Rubio 可能就可以恢復他在明尼蘇達灰狼時期的狀態
，當時他是聯盟中最好的組織者之一，並且每場比賽有9.0次以上的助攻。
The most enticing thing about Rubio for the Pacers is, though, the fact that
he would come far cheaper than a lot of the other options they’ll find on
the open market this summer. Indiana is projected to have over $40 million in
cap space, and if they’re able to land a starter-level point guard, like
Rubio, for around $10 million to $12 million annually, that’ll leave them
with plenty of room to re-sign impending free agent wing Bojan Bogdanovic and
big man Thaddeus Young, or use the leftover money to chase a big-name free
agent.
Not only would Indiana be getting an upgrade at the lead-guard spot in Rubio,
they’d be doing so at a very team-friendly price.
然而，對於溜馬來說，Rubio 最吸引人的事情是他將比今年夏天自由球員市場上所能找到
的很多其他選項要便宜得多。溜馬預計將有超過4000萬美元的薪資空間，如果他們能夠以
每年1000萬美元到1200萬美元的價格得到像Rubio 這樣的先發級控球後衛，這將使他們有
足夠的空間重新簽下即將離隊的自由球員 Bojan Bogdanovic 和大個子 Thaddeus
Young ，或者用剩下的錢來追逐一個大牌自由球員。
溜馬不僅可以在Rubio 的先發控衛位置得到提升，他們也將會以非常實惠的價格進行升級
。
