Ellis Wins Most Improved Player Award

 

몬타 앨리스가 MIP를 수상했습니다. 이번 시즌 MIP 투표는 지난 1990-91시즌에 스캇 스카일이 캐빈 갬블을 네표차로 물리치고 수상한 이래로 가장 치열했다고 합니다. 앨리스는 총 352점을 받아서 킹스의 캐빈 마틴(349점)을 제치고 수상을 했습니다. 평균 득점이 무려 9.7점이나 상승했습니다. 플레이오프에서의 활약은 말할것도 없죠. 이번 시즌은 앨리스 말고도 캐빈 마틴 그리고 데런 윌리암스등 무서운 성장을 한 선수들이 많았습니다. 데이비드 리는 부상 때문에 언급이 많이 안됐나 보네요.

Monta Ellis of the Golden State Warriors was named the winner of the 2006-07 NBA Most Improved Player Award, the NBA announced today. The annual award is presented to a player who has made a dramatic improvement from the previous season or seasons.

Ellis received a total of 352 points, including 47 first-place votes, from a panel of 129 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. The Sacramento Kings ’ Kevin Martin finished second with 349 points (44 first-place votes) followed by the Utah Jazz ’s Deron Williams with 101 points (13 first-place votes). Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third place vote received. This is the closest finish in the history of the award since 1990-91 when Scott Skiles of Orlando edged out Kevin Gamble of Boston by four votes

After averaging 6.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists and .415 shooting for the Warriors in 2005-06, Ellis increased his scoring by 9.7 points (16.5 ppg) – the largest increase in the NBA this season -- to go along with his averages of 3.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.71 steals. Starting 53 of the 77 games he appeared in, Ellis reached double figures in scoring 68 times, including 24 games of 20 or more points. The 6-3 guard recorded three or more steals 20 times and had at least five steals three times, including a career-high six at Seattle (March 17).

Selected by the Warriors in the second round of the 2005 NBA Draft (40th overall), Ellis was second only to Chris Paul (17.2 ppg) of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets in scoring among players from that Draft class. Ellis also noticed a significant increase in his assist numbers as he dished five or more assists 33 times, including a career-high 13 at the Los Angeles Clippers (Feb. 24). [READ]

Agent: Lewis Will Not Go Back To Sonics With Offers From Other Clubs

랴샤드 루이스의 에이전트 토니 두트(???)는 다른 팀이 소닉스 보다 좋은 조건을 제시하느냐의 여부에 따라 루이스가 소닉스 팀으로 돌아가지 않을거라고 합니다. 프리 에이전트 들과의 계약은 7월 1일에 시작됩니다. 토니 두트는 소닉스가 경쟁력있는 계약 조건을 제시하길 기대한다고 합니다. 소닉스는 여러가지로 걱정이 많습니다.

Seattle PI - 04/26 - 2:43 PM EST

Tony Dutt, the agent for Rashard Lewis, said his client will not go back to the Sonics with offers from other clubs to see if they will match.

Lewis said after the Sonics' April 20 loss to Dallas that he planned to give the Sonics the opportunity to match offers. Dutt said he expects the Sonics to make a competitive offer by July 1, the first day teams are eligible to negotiate with free agents.

"I can't honestly say that's not what we meant. That's not the way it was meant," Dutt said Wednesday. "It's important for them to know that. We'll see how they really feel about him come July 1. Rashard's expectations are such. We want everyone to be in the same situation. We'll look at all of our options. We expect them to kind of show us what his feeling of worth is as well." [READ]

Kidd Sits Out Thursday's Practice With Sore Knee

 

제이슨 키드가 무릎 통증 때문에 목요일날 연습에 불참했습니다. 네츠 감독 로렌스 프랭크는 키드가 통증을 느낀다는것 이외에는 아는바가 없다고 합니다.

 

Toronto Star - 04/26 - 2:15 PM EST

Jason Kidd was having a sore left knee examined by team physicians in New York and did not practice with the Nets on Thursday.

The point guard was at the Nets facility for a tape session before being sent to the doctor, New Jersey coach Lawrence Frank said.

Team officials said there was slight swelling in Kidd's left knee.

Frank said the trip to the doctor was precautionary more than anything. "He just bumped it. We wanted to take precaution so we'll see where it’s at," said the coach. "He just had some discomfort. We’ll leave it to the doctors. I don’t want to fuel speculation. This is all we know."

He is a game-time decision for Game 3, but teammates expect him to play. [READ]

Kobe Getting 'Antsy' With Supporting Cast

 

코비가 팀 동료들에 대한 인내심을 잃어가는거 같습니다. 구단주 미치 컵책은 레이커스가 재능있는선수들이 많다고 생각합니다. 라마 오덤과

앤드류 바이넘은 언터쳐블이라고 하네요. 한 예로 제이슨 키드의 트레이드가 실패한것은 레이커스가 앤드류 바이넘을 트레이드 하기 싫어서

였다고 합니다. 코비는 팀이 어려운 선택의 기로에 있다고 생각합니다. 트레이드를 할것이냐 아니면 현재 선수들을 가지고 5년 동안 지켜볼것이냐.  

 

Los Angeles Times - 04/26 - 1:07 PM EST (AP Photo)

The Lakers are a long ways away from being a championship team with the way their roster currently is constructed and Kobe Bryant knows that.

“He’s antsy,” Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers’ general manager, said. “And we recognize that we’ve got a talented and gifted guy that could get us to that level. We don’t want to waste that.”

Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum are two players with value, but officials have called them untouchable.

Attempts to acquire the Nets All-Star Jason Kidd in February reportedly failed because the Lakers refused to include Bynum.

“He’s not in our plans to trade,” Kupchak said. “It’s one of those deals where you kind of don’t know what you have. You hate to do something too soon.”

“They’ve got some decisions to make, if they want to build a contender now, or if you want to hold onto these pieces for five years from now,” Bryant said. “They got some tough choices.” [READ]

Nuggets, Magic And Wolves Could Grab Telfair

 

너겟츠, 매직, 울브즈가 델페어을 잡는데 관심이 있을거 같습니다. 동부 컨퍼런스의 한 경영자는 텔페어가 인원을 맞추기 위해서 셀틱스

의 트레이드 딜에 포함될거 같다고 합니다. 실수를 저질렀지만 아직 젊은 선수니깐 다른 팀들이 관심이 많겠죠.

 

New York Daily News - 04/26 - 12:14 PM EST

Denver, Orlando and Minnesota are already being mentioned as possible new landing spots for Sebastian Telfair.

"I would think that the Celtics will try to get something for him," one Eastern Conference executive said Wednesday. "Once things settle down, I could see them looking to put him in a trade, being a guy who's included in a deal to make the numbers work. But somebody will take a shot on him. He's young and he made a mistake." [READ]

The Spurs have acknowledged they expect Presti to eventually be running his own team.

GM R.C. Buford also has been mentioned as a candidate, but is unlikely to have interest in the position if Bennett retains Lenny Wilkens as his primary decision-maker. [READ]

Arenas Considering Wechsler To Be New Agent

 

내년 여름 옵션 행사를 할 수 있는 아레나스가 제프 웨치슬러를 에이전트로 고려중이라고 합니다. 작년 여름에 새 계약을 맺은후에 에리나스는 전 에이전트 덴 프레건과 특별한 사유없이 결별했습니다. 에이전트 없이 혼자 자기 관리를 잘했다는 평입니다. Agent Zero와 무슨 관련이 있는건가요?

 

Washington Times - 04/26 - 12:07 PM EST

Gilbert Arenas is believed to be considering Jeff Wechsler as a potential agent, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Arenas, who can opt out of his contract next summer, parted ways with former agent Dan Fegan last summer with no explanation. Fegan was Arenas' agent when the player signed a six-year, $65 million deal with Washington in the summer of 2003.

Arenas has taken control of marketing his image on his own, and has done so rather well. However, according to sources, Arenas knows he will need an agent and is said to be seriously considering Wechsler. [READ]

More Doubts About Sonics' Future As Land Deal Falters

소닉스 구단은 렌돈에 있는 새 경기장 부지을 구입하기 위한 계약을 맺지 않았다고 합니다. 개발자도 이미 그곳에 가게와 주택부지를 지을려고 한다고 하네요. 팀 대변인 킴 닐란드는 새 경기장 계획이 다시 본 궤도에 오를거라고 하지만 현실적으로 상황은 암울합니다.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 04/26 - 2:56 AM EST

Doubts about the Sonics' long-term future in the region intensified Wednesday, when it was disclosed to the Seattle P-I that the team never executed an agreement to purchase land for a new arena in Renton.

The developer that was going to sell the property rights for 21 acres near the south end of Lake Washington to the Sonics intends to build a retail and housing project there, and the city is moving forward with other projects.

But Jim Kneeland, a Sonics spokesman, said if the team could get an arena plan back on track, "We would be after that land again."

That scenario, however, doesn't look promising. [READ]

Yahoo.com - 04/26 - 1:32 AM EST

Manu Ginobili knew Game 2 would have to be different after the Spurs' top three scorers delivered less-than-stellar performances in the opening-game loss to the Nuggets.

He was right and the Spurs won 97-88 on Wednesday night to even the first-round series.

"A sense of urgency is what kept us matching that aggressiveness," Ginobili said. "Today we were much more aggressive. We fight for loose balls and boards and that's what we've got to do every single game." [READ]

Woodson Will Return As Hawks' Head Coach

 

마이크 우드슨이 실망스런 시즌에도 불구하고 애틀란트 혹스 감독을 다음 시즌에도 맡는다고 합니다. 팀 책임자 버니 뮬른은 선수들 부상 때문에 마이크가 제대로 기회를 갖지 못했다고 하네요.

 

SI.com - 04/25 - 8:21 PM EST

Bernie Mullin, president of the Atlanta Hawks , said head coach Mike Woodson will return for his fourth season despite another losing season.

Mullin said the Hawks' ownership group has not yet met in a "formal sit-down," but he said the message from the owners was that Woodson deserves another chance after enduring a season-long battle with injuries.

"Clearly they feel that a change in Mike Woodson's status at this point in time would be completely unfair," Mullin said.

"Obviously he didn't have a fair chance with the talent being out as much as it was this year. We had catastrophic injuries." [READ]

Thabeet Now Leaning Towards Returning To UConn?

 

하쉼 타빗은 학교로 복귀하는것을 현재 고려중이라고 합니다. 보호자 올리버 노아는 아직 아는 바가 없다고 하네요. 이번주내로 결정이 날것 같다고 합니다.

 

DraftExpress - 04/25 - 3:07 PM EST

The latest from the Hasheem Thabeet saga says that he’s currently leaning towards returning to UConn next year. This according to a source we spoke to this evening. A story written by Andy Katz on ESPN.com seems to imply that in a backhanded way as well.

Thabeet’s guardian Oliver Noah on the other hand did not seem to know either way what the situation is. “I have no idea,” Oliver told DraftExpress on Tuesday. “I talked to Hasheem today, and he didn’t say anything. He has 5 more days, and a decision will come this week. I will find out more tomorrow.” [READ]

Buford Banned By FIBA For Three Months For Doping

 

전 NBA 선수 롸드니 뷰포트가 카나비스(마리화나 원료) 테스트를 통과하지 못해서 FIBA 연맹으로부터  3개월 가량 출정정지를 받았습니다.

 

 

Internation Herald Tribune - 04/25 - 1:45 PM EST

Rodney Buford, former NBA player, was banned for three months by FIBA on Wednesday for testing positive for cannabis.

Buford, who plays for Maccabi Tel Aviv, has been temporarily banned since Feb. 2, and will be out until May 2.

Cannabis was discovered in Buford's doping sample after a Euroleague game against Cibona Zagreb last November, FIBA said.

The federation "takes into consideration that he openly admitted his anti-doping rule violation," the FIBA decision said. [READ]

다시 보니 던컨이 깜짝 출연하는구요.

[갈비탕 #27]

그저 코비만 불쌍할 뿐이져...

[던컨&파커]

재밌는 뮤비네요 ㅋ

[Zlatan Kobe]

오돔이 토탈패키지라는 좋은 점도 있지만 팀내에서 정확히 어떤포지션인지 모를때도 많다는........정확히 파포면 보기엔 힘이 없고 스포 보기엔 스피드가 딸리고 어지중간한..........코비에겐 확실한 포지션이 잡힌 괜찮은 선수가 더 낫지 싶습니다

[Love[NBA]]

컵책은 여전히 정신을 못차리고 있는듯 싶군요.. 무슨 오돔과 바이넘이 언터쳐블이라고 주장을 하는건지... 인디애나와 딜 협상이나 한번 들어갔으면 싶네요..

[보아의남자]

오덤의 문제는 2옵션임에도 불구 너무 공격에서 소극적이란 겁니다 어시와 리바능력은 대단하지만 파포보면서 수비 하기에 너무 말랐고 스포보기엔 키가 커서 스피드가 딸립니다 코비가 벤치에서 있고 코트에 샤샤-에반스-쿡-오덤-튜리아프가 있어서 공격에서 점수를 못내면 지가 적극적으로 달려들어 공격시도를 해야할텐데 피닉스 2차전에서 잘 나왔듯 너무 소극적인 성격때문에 아쉬울때가 많죠 오덤이 그렇게 언터쳐블이라고 박는것도 웃기는게 어짜피 트레이드할 실력도 없으면서 맨날 트레이드불가 외치는 꼬자리지가 한번이라도 대박트레이드를 했으면 몰라 보여준것도 없으면서 있는척 하는 꼬라지가 맘에 안듭니다

[보아의남자]

앳킨스 나간후 2005년부터 포가포가 외치는데 2년동안 주전포가가 파커-루키가드파마입니다 트레이드 해도 허접수준으로 하고 할려고 하면 절대 안되 이러고 도대체 컵책보다 더 나은 GM이 정녕 미국에 한명도 없단 말입니까?

[hulkmania]

어이가없군요..컵책. 현재에 안주하길 바라는겁니까.. 플옵올랐으니 지엠으로써 할일다했다이건가..;; 레이커스는 전통의 명문중에서도 명문인데.. 과연 팬들이나 ..기타 관계자들이 현레이커스 멤버진을 보고 만족해할지의문이네요 롤플레이어 몇명바꾼다고해서 이팀이 나아질것같진않습니다. 대대적인 트레이드를 통해..코비와 원투펀치를 이룰 선수를 찾아야 정상에 설수있다고생각합니다. 컵책있는한..레이커스 순탄하지않을듯하네요 ㅠ

[sunman]

바이넘에 대해서는 여전히 집착을 버리기는 어려운게 사실이죠! 하드웨어와 나이를 생각해볼때 앞으로 발전이 기대되는건 맞는데요... 문제는 코비가 더이상 현재의 팀메이트들과 함께 하는 것을 달갑지않게 생각한다는거죠! 오닐이 팀을 떠나게된것이 코비를 중심으로 팀을 이끌기 위해서였는데... 아무튼 레이커스 오프시즌에 어떤 변화가 있을지...

[hulkmania]

그럼 최소한 컵책단장이 레전드급선수인데 코비가 원하는 타입의 선수들을 데려올수있도록 노력이라도 보여야하는것아닌가싶군요.. 바이넘 다른 유망주들과비교해도 성장속도가 너무느립니다. 그보다도 문제인건 바이넘 마인드가 탑이 되기에는 근성투지가 너무 떨어져요. ... 한땐 저역시도 바이넘이 무럭무럭 커줘 샤크버금가는선수가 되길바랬지만...그러기엔..시간도없고 최고의검!! 코비가 너무아까울뿐이죠.

[The KB]

이멤버로 5년을 지켜본다라.........컵책은 미친건가요? 우승은 그냥 필요없고 플옵 컨텐더로 남으면 된다는 뜻인가요? 이멤버로는 사실 내년엔 플옵도 미지수인거 같은데.....

[New Leader Roy]

루이스 옆동네 포틀랜드 오는거 어떠니??

[Placebo effect]

대런 칼린스는 내년은 더욱 힘들어 질테니 올해 나와도 해볼만 할텐데.. 타빗은 학교로 돌아가 좀 더 경험을 쌓아야 하고 다니믹은 찔러 보는건가.. 그리 매력적인 선수는 아닌데..

[The Laker]

언터쳐블이라는 말은 아무한테나 쓰는것이 아닌데..휴우....... 내가 다 인내심이 한계가 오네요;

[leap_penny]

그 마크잭슨?? 거북이?? ㅋㅋ 세월참....

[spmcis]

마크 잭슨은 현역 시절 NBA 선수들 중 가장 지적인 선수라는 평을 받던 선수이며 통산 어시스트에서 역대 2위인 선수입니다. 또한 코트 위에선 최고의 지휘관이었죠. 전 솔직히 왜 이선수가 아직까지 아무데서도 어시스턴트 코치나 감독하지 않는지 의아해 했었습니다.
