Picking money players in the NBA
Who are the big free-agent finds? Salary Guy investigates
Gary Payton, a nine-time NBA All Star who is regarded as one of the league's best defensive point guards, became a free agent July 1.
By Bob McCullough NBCSPORTS.COM CONTRIBUTOR

After the draft, most NBA pundits declared that this year’s free-agent signing period would be a wild and woolly affair, full of bargains and big names to build or rebuild around.

AND FOR A WHILE, it was. But once Jason Kidd finished his Texas basketball tour and Jermaine O’Neal canceled his summer vacation plans to visit San Antonio and other hoops destinations, the pickings got slim in a hurry.

When the dust settled, there were some clear-cut winners, most notably the Lakers, who made some landmark moves in their effort to revamp for another title run. There were also some folks who made suspect deals, overpaying seriously for big talent in what was supposed to be one of the best free-agent classes in recent memory.
Here’s the rundown on who took who, and who got taken:

대어가 많았던 이번 자유계약 시장에서의 승자와 패자를 알아봅시다.

GOOD DEALS
1. Karl Malone, Los Angeles Lakers, $1.2 million. Malone isn’t the 25-point, 10-rebound a game stud who can carry a team deep into the playoffs any more, but getting a future Hall of Famer at this price is the best bargain since MJ came back for a million a year with the Wizards.
On paper he’s perfectly suited for what the Lakers want: a mixture of points, boards,passes, physical defense and heady floor play. In short, a more complete garbage man, and a serious upgrade from what Robert Horry gave the club before Father Time caught up to him.
But is he the right guy for the role? As much of a steal as this looks like, will Malone be consistently happy getting 10 shots a game and looking at a stat line full of single-digit numbers? He said all the right things after signing about the focus being on winning, but given his tendency to run his mouth and the occasional incidents in which he disparaged Shaq as an opponent, there will almost certainly be times during the season when Phil Jackson will have to do some serious damage control.

이 가격으로 이런선수를 데려왔다는건 기적이다. 레이커스가 딱 원하는 스타일.. 그러나 과연 게임당 10개의 슛으로 만족할수 있는가? 적으로 만났을때 샤크와도 문제가 있었던 말론. 필잭슨 골치 아프게 생겼군요..

2. Gary Payton, Los Angeles Lakers, $4.8 million. Again, on paper this looks like a steal. Payton is more spry and limber than Malone, although guarding young, quick point guards is becoming a problem for him. His floor game, though, remains as heady as ever, and he seems like the perfect guy to run the offense, relieve Bryant of his ball-handling chores, set up and distribute for Kobe, Shaq and Karl and create shots when plays break down.
But the key question here is “run which offense?” Can Payton adapt to the rigors of the triangle? Can Phil Jackson really teach an old Glove some new tricks, or will he have to revamp his beloved system to suit his latest superstars?
The two other major questions here revolve around Kobe and Shaq. Bryant has been known to get pretty whiny about his shot numbers, and it’s tough to average 20 points a game if you’re only taking 15 shots, which is bound to happen on some nights. As for Shaq, one of L.A.’s biggest problems last season was that he often went through stretches of five minutes or more without getting touches.
Payton will get great looks for the crew as a whole, but don’t think that’s not going to continue to happen just because GP is running the show.

수비가 예전같지는 않지만 이런 가격으로 엄청난 능력을 가진 선수를 얻은 레이커스.  그러나 과연 자존심 센 그가 오닐과 코비랑 다툼은 없을런지? 트라이 앵글에 잘 적응할수 있는가? 팀동료를 위해 기회를 만들어 주겠지만 슛도 많이 할거라 예상..

3. Alonzo Mourning, four years, $20 million. In a perfect world, this would have been a two-year deal, with the Nets ponying up maybe $6-7 million a year for Mourning’sservices, a price/duration equation that would have given them more financial protection if Mourning’s kidney problems flare up again. But at this price, he’s worth it just to shore up New Jersey’s interior defense, which was ghastly during the playoffs, and he gives the team a shot-blocking presence and some nastiness to go with K-Mart’s skills and ‘tude.
Physical issues aside ? given his age, Mourning would have been winding down right about now even without his kidney disease problems ? the Nets’ new center raises some of the questions that came up with the arrival of Dikembe Mutombo. Yeah, he’s a better post player and a better passer than Deke, but he’s not the first big man who comes to mind if you’re thinking about running a motion offense. And given Zo’s tendency to provide shoot-from-the-hip commentary to the media, who knows how he’ll fit into the Nets mix after Jason Kidd’s psuedo-covert effort to throw coach Byron Scott under the bus after the finals.

2년, 6-7밀리언 계약이 됐어야할 모닝. 골밑수비와 블락에 능하고 터프함을 가졌다.  그러나 네츠 오펜스에서 잘 적응할수 있을까? 제이슨키드와 불화는 없을런지..

BAD DEALS
1. Rasho Nesterovic, San Antonio Spurs, $45 million dollars, six years.
After being spurned by marquee free agents Jason Kidd and Jermaine O’Neal ? the latter of whom completely dissed the Spurs by blowing off his planned visit ? most people expected San Antonio to throw max-contract money at restricted free agent Elton Brand, then cross their fingers and hope the Clippers didn’t match their offer. As backup plans go, it was a pretty solid scenario.
Instead, the Spurs overpaid massively for Timberwolves center Rasho Nesterovic, whose picture should appear in the hoops dictionary next to the “mediocre seven-foot stiff” item. Don’t blame Flip Saunders and Kevin McHale, though, because both coach and G.M. tried every trick in the book to get Nestor to show some physical toughness. Instead, though, he labored to post 10 points and 10 boards a night, and his softness was one huge reason for Minnesota’s ongoing series of first-round exits in the postseason.
Do the Spurs know something no one else does? The logic here seems to be that playing with Duncan and a cast of versatile teammates will bring out the best in Nesterovic. But that logic begs a huge question: If Nestor couldn’t perform with Garnett and some of the quality players the Timberwolves were able to surround him with before this year, why will it be any different with Duncan and company?
Meanwhile, out in the Pacific Division, the Lakers have to be snickering at the thoughtthat if Shaq is anywhere close to healthy, taking the crown back will be as simple asturning O’Neal loose to abuse Nesterovic, something he’s done with impunity the past few seasons.

키드와 오닐을 놓치고 브랜드를 잡을려 했던 스퍼스, 결국 라쇼에게 오버한 금액을 지불했다. 7풋 막대기라고 사전에 나와야 할 라쇼. 10점 10리바가 가능한 그이지만 골밑에서의 부족한 터프함은 1라운드 연속탈락에 큰공을 세웠다. 스퍼스는 라쇼가 던컨과 젊은 재능있는 선수들과 뛰면 다르다고 생각하나? 가넷과 다른 젊은 선수 옆에서 뛰었던 라쇼. 스퍼스에서 뛴다고 달라진다고 생각하는 이유는? 샤크가 100% 컨디션으로 온다면 달라지고 말고는 큰 문제가 되지 않는다.

2. Cory Maggette, Utah Jazz, $45 million, six years.
What was Andre Miller thinking? The Jazz thought they had Miller signed, sealed and delivered as the heir apparent to John Stockton, a player they could blend with Andrei Kirilenko and Matt Harpring as building blocks for the future. Instead, Miller goes to Denver to toil for Kiki Vandeweghe and the hapless Nuggets, and the Jazz overpay for Maggette, who may or may not be a shooting guard they can continue to build around without a point guard to run the show.
Maggette is a nice, athletic player who can probably put up 15-20 points a game, and in terms of adding points he fits in nicely with the numbers of Harpring and Kirilenko. But to characterize Maggette’s floor game as erratic is like saying Michael Jordan can be a bit indecisive about his future every now and then. Athleticism aside, to date Maggette has shown little more than the ability to be an uncoachable wild man, and his undisciplined approach would seem to be oil and water with the methodical, grind-it-out style that Jerry Sloan prefers to play.

안드레밀러를 계약, 스탁턴의 뒤를 이어야 했을 그는 덴버로 가버리고 결국 매커티를 무리한 금액으로 계약하는 재즈. 포인트 가드 없이 매커티를 중심으로 리빌딩 해야 하는가? 15-20점을 넣어줄수 있긴 하나 이기적인 플레이와 문제가 있는 행동들은 기름과 물겪같은 플레이를 가져올수 있다.

3. Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets, $99 million, six years.
The Nets had to do this to keep the train to the conference finals rolling along, and for the first two or three seasons this will probably be a pretty good deal, especially if they add more quality as the contracts of Mutombo and Kittles fade in the rear-view mirror.
But once Kidd hits 33 or so, he could become the Kevin Brown of basketball.
He was already having trouble guarding quick young point guards even before TonyParker undressed him in the first three games of the Finals, and if he switches to cover shooting guards, he’s going to get posted up big-time by Tracy McGrady, Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant. Finally, there’s the issue of having so much cap money tied up in one guy. New Jersey’s strength has been the club’s ability to accumulate a sleek fleet of basketball gazelles ? will they still be able to do that three years from now when Kidd inevitably begins to really slow down?

네츠의 성공을 위해 키드와의 계약은 불가피 했지만 처음 2-3년만 좋아보일 것이다. 33살정도가 되면 현재보다 더 느려질것이고 벌써부터 빠른 가드에게 돌파를 허용한다. 그의 강점은 트랜지션에서의 공격이다. 만약 그게 안되면 존스탁턴 유형이 되버린다. 나쁘지는 않지만 일년에 16밀리언에 비하면 나쁘다.슈팅가드와 스위치를 한다면 큰 가드에게 포스트업을 허용할것이다. 한선수에게 많은 캡머니를 허용해 본적이 거의 없는 네츠는 과연 3년이 지나도 같은 성공을 누릴수 있을까?

[Roomate For Eunsil]

넷츠의 우승 유효기간은 3 년이란 말이군요. 키드가 스탁턴이 될 순 있어도 마틴이 말론은 될 수 있는지에 대해서는 의문입니다.

[Roomate For Eunsil]

라쇼에게 필요한 것은 던컨이 건네주는 패스 받아먹기, 던컨하고 가넷은 비슷한 정도의 재능을 가졌을지는 몰라도 노는 동네가 다른 것을...

[번슨이]

글쎄요.. 말론 만큼 꾸준해 줄지는 모르겠지만...결코 못 넘을것 같지만은 아는데.. 그의 성장속도를 보면요... 지켜보면 알게 되겠죠...

[가넷 동사무소 공익되다]

키드가 스탁턴 마틴이 말론이 되면..우승 한번두 못하겠네요.... 은퇴를 한 스탁턴이 생각납니다..

[Placebo effect]

라쇼의 할약은 소박하게나마 결국 로빈슨을 대신해줄수 있느냐 없는냐인데.. 스텟상으로는 비슷하게 아니면 더 뛰어날진 몰라도 존재감이나 경험등의 눈에 보이지 않는 부분에 대해서는 지켜봐야겠지만 더욱강력해진 라이벌팀을 봤을때는 조금 그의 몫이 버거워보이는것도 사실입니다.

[Placebo effect]

해봐야 알겠지만 일단 라쇼+가넷 조합이 1라운드탈락이라는 실패라고 놓고 봤을때는 라쇼+던컨조합은 어떻게 될지 흥미롭습니다..

[gonny]

라쇼는 안될거 같네요.. 에혀... 이넘은 쎈터포지션이라는 이름이 부끄러울 정도로 골밑에는 안가더군요..-_-;;
