EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jason Kidd talked about Vince Carter's future with
the New Jersey Nets and playing for USA basketball this summer, then had a
final request heading into the offseason Monday.

J談到阿卡在紐澤西的未來與他即將在夏天替美國代表隊打球的事，然後他
希望這篇報導的標題......

"Don't write any trade stuff," the All-Star point guard said.

「不要寫交易。」

There were a couple of laughs and Kidd smiled, but his future and Carter's
will be topics of discussion for the next six weeks as the Nets prepare for
next season.

這引起了一陣笑聲，J自己也笑了，但是當籃網開始準備迎接下一季，他與
阿卡的未來(什麼時候步入結婚禮堂？)還是會成為未來六週的話題。

Carter is the big question mark. He can opt out of his current contract at
the end of next month and test free agency.

阿卡是一個大問號。他可以opt out，在下個月結束他的合約，投入自由市場。

Nets president Rod Thorn has had initial talks with Carter's agent, Kurt
Schoeppler, but the sides are not close on either a new contract or an
extension of the old one, which would pay the Nets' leading scorer more than
$16 million next season.

籃網總裁羅德索恩與阿卡的經紀人克特布啦布啦什麼的有過初步的談話，但
是沒有任何結論，沒有新合約，也沒有談妥舊合約的延長 (下一季付給這位
籃網第一得分手超過一千六百萬美元)。

"His public posture is that he would like to stay here, but he would like to
get the best contract he could possibly get," Thorn said after meeting with
the players Monday. "Sometimes those things mesh, and sometimes they don't."

「他對外表示他希望留在這兒，可是他也想得到他能拿的最好合約，」索恩
星期一跟球員開會後這樣說。「有時候這些事可以圓滿，但有時候不行。」

Carter is looking for a three-year extension worth about $60 million. The
Nets may not be willing to go that high.

阿卡希望能拿三年六千萬美金。籃網可能不想付這麼多。

"We'll see what happens," Carter said repeatedly when asked about becoming a
free agent. He said he would approach free agency the same way he chose a
college -- talking with people and players who had gone through it, including
Kidd.

「我們就等待事情的發展吧，」當他被問到要不要變成自由球員時阿卡重複
這樣說。他說進入自由市場或是留下是同時進行的......找一些曾經歷過的
人談談，包括Kidd。

"For Vince, that's the business part, it gets in the way sometimes," Kidd
said. "I wish him the best, whatever happens. As much as we would like to
have him around, that's between him and Rod now."

「對於Vince，這是屬於生意的部分，有時候這會造成妨礙。」Kidd說，
「不管最後發生什麼事，我希望他能得到最好的(幸福？XD)。我們喜歡
有他在身邊(是"我"吧？對嗎XD)，不過這現在是他與Rod的事情了 (J不
要放棄你的幸福阿~)。」

While Kidd said he spoke with Thorn and owner Bruce Ratner, he said he would
keep his mouth shut once Carter's future is determined. He ripped the team
after it did not re-sign Kenyon Martin in 2004.

Kidd對Thron跟老闆布魯斯雷特納說，這次當阿卡的未來被決定的時候，
他會保持安靜。他在2004曾經向高層開砲，因為高層沒有簽下K-mart。

"I'm an employee," Kidd said. "As an employee, I learned if you are
disgruntled it just makes things worse."

「我是員工。」Kidd說，「作為一個員工，發洩對高層的不滿是狠合理的
......不是，是如果發洩不滿，只會使事情更糟。」

"Whatever happens this summer happens," he added. He said he plans "to be a
professional and to come out and try to win ballgames wherever it's at.
Hopefully, it's here in New Jersey because I have had a great run here and
hopefully it will continue."

「不管這個夏天花生什麼，」他附加說明，他說他計畫「做的像個內行的，
不管花生什麼，就試著去贏那些球賽。希望那是在紐澤西。因為在這裡我
有一把好棒的槍(？！)，而且希望我仍然有。」(......)
↑對不起我看錯一個字母可是我不想改.....

There has been speculation that the 34-year-old Kidd might want to be traded
to a contender if Carter left.

我們推測這話的意思可能是假如阿卡離開，34歲的這孩子會盤算被交易走。

Kidd, who led the Nets to the NBA Finals in 2002 and '03, was used a trade
bait this winter at the trading deadline, but that was when the Nets were
playing poorly.

Kidd，這個在2002與2003年帶領籃網殺入最終決戰的男人，在上個冬天曾
經被當成交易的餌食，但這是籃網打的很爛的時候。(嗯，大家早就知道了。)

Kidd stayed and was spectacular down the stretch and in the postseason,
helping the Nets reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they lost to
Cleveland 4-2. With a break here or there, New Jersey might be playing
Detroit for the conference title this week.

J留下來了，並且在季後賽再次爆發他驚人的能力，幫助籃網殺到第二輪，
被Cavs以4-2砍下馬來。如果戰況有些許改變，他們有可能在這個星期與底特律決戰。

Kidd averaged a triple-double during the playoffs, joining Oscar Robertson as
the only player to do it for an entire postseason.

J單年季後賽平均大三元的表現，過去也只有大O辦到過。

"I think his year, overall, other than his first year here, he had the best
year he has had," Thorn said. "He was great this year."

「除了他在籃網的第一年，我想他今年是目前曾有的最好的一年。」索
恩說，「他今年非常偉大。」

Playing with Kidd and Richard Jefferson might be the one thing that convinces
Carter to not opt out or to reach an agreement with the Nets.

與J-Kidd以及RJ一起打球可能可以是說服阿卡不執行選擇權或變成自由
球員的原因之一。

Even Carter feels there is unfinished business here.

即使阿卡內心也感覺到有一股未完成的使命......

"I think with our potential, what we have right now, we accomplished a lot of
things and can go a lot further and some day hold up that championship trophy
and play in the finals," Carter said.

「我考慮過我們的潛力，與我們現在有的材料，我們熟練了許多事情，
可以走的更遠更遠。有一天我們可以抓住那個冠軍獎盃，在決戰衝殺。」阿卡說。
