June 20, 2007 -- Good news Knicks fans: Seattle’s Rashard Lewis is indeed a
free agent and plans to visit New York for a recruiting trip if Isiah Thomas
invites him July 1, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

劉易士可能在七月初到紐約走一趟。

Thomas will make the 6-9 Lewis his top free-agent priority and hopes to wine
and dine him, perhaps on James Dolan’s yacht, in July. Lewis was the center
of a mini-controversy yesterday, with the report he could lose his free-agent
status on a technicality by opting out a few days too early. Though the
contract language was hazy on the date, the Sonics aren’t pursuing it.

他和老湯會討論一些細節。

The Sonics released a statement yesterday, saying “It’s clearly understood
by the Sonics and Rashard Lewis that he is a free agent.”

劉易士現在已經是自由之身。

Agent Tony Dutt, who goes way back with Thomas as Marcus Camby’s first
agent, told The Post yesterday Lewis will consider a half-dozen teams. Thomas
is not allowed to talk with Lewis until July 1.

勉族的前經紀人說劉會和六隻球隊接觸，老湯在七月初之前不能對他下手。

The Knicks would have to pull of a sign-and-trade to obtain the silky small
forward scorer. The Knicks’ heavy interest in Lewis demonstrates their
unhappiness with last season’s free-agent catch, Jared Jeffries. Lewis can
score several ways and he’s only 27.

尼克可能會透過先簽後換的方式來得到他，這隻球隊去年做了簽下JJ這檔蠢事。

“As far as the Knicks, it’s a great organization,” Dutt said.

One roadblock in obtaining Lewis is Lenny Wilkens’ presence in the front
office, as he would not want to do any favors for Thomas, who axed him nearly
three years ago. However, reports out of Seattle suggest Wilkens has lost
some of his power last week.

唯一的絆腳石是Wilkens，三年前老湯請他走路，新仇加舊恨。
