Free agent reclamation project Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on Knicks’ radar

重點節錄:
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft who has
established himself as a defensive specialist, is on the Knicks’ free-agent
radar when the market opens a few days after the Nov. 18 draft.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist，2012年第二順位
以防守專長聞名，目前正在尼克的自由球員雷達上

Tom Thibodeau is a defensive-minded coach and president Leon Rose wants to
create a roster that fits his big coaching hire.

Tom Thibodeau是一位注重防守的教練
而總裁Leon Rose想建立適合他執教能力的球隊陣容

According to sources, the Knicks also view the player known as “MKG” as a
solid locker room guy. Kidd-Gilchrist, however, wouldn’t address the Knicks’
desire to improve their outside shooting.

尼克認為MKG是一位傑出的休息室球員
但這不能解決尼克一直想提升的他們外線能力問題

The Knicks likely view him as a bench player who would address some of their
defensive shortcomings if they can sign him to a modest deal.

尼克將他視為一位能解決他們防守端問題的板凳球員
如果他們能給他適當的合約

The Knicks still plan to pursue former star Carmelo Anthony, even if they can’t pull off a trade for his buddy, Chris Paul. The Post has reported Anthony
would be eager to join the Knicks if they land Paul.

尼克依然在計畫得到Carmelo Anthony，無論他們是否能交易到Chris Paul
如果尼克能交易到Chris Paul，Anthony就會很想加入尼克

The Knicks have no plans to re-sign small forward Maurice Harkless, who came
from the Clippers in the Marcus Morris deal in February that also netted the
Knicks the 27th pick in the draft.

尼克沒有計畫重簽Maurice Harkless

The Knicks like VanVleet a lot, but there’s an argument against offering him
a max deal. Some league sources believe VanVleet is more prone to shine on anestablished team than being the lone star — as he would be on the Knicks.

尼克非常喜歡VanVleet，但是有內部聲音懷疑是否要給頂薪
有聯盟消息說VanVleet比較傾向在一隻成熟隊伍打球
而非在一支隊伍如尼克孤軍奮戰
