那些你曾經非常熟悉,目前卻還在"找工作"的球星們
Whether it's through locker room presence and leadership throughout the grueling regular season or if it's through wisdom and experience come playoff time, teams need veterans to make sure the ship stays afloat in the most trying times.
無論是老將們在更衣室的存在感（給球隊的幫助），或是在艱苦的常規賽里老將身上的領導能力，更或者是季後賽里老將們身上的智慧和經驗，球隊都需要老將來確保球隊在最艱難的時候保持航行。From backup center to end of rotation wing player, there are a lot of roles vets have traditionally filled for chamPionship teams.
從後備中鋒到末尾輪轉的翼側球員，這些老將長久以來爲冠軍球隊填補各種位置。here are four other veterans who should end up on a roster before the season comes to an end.
這裏的四位老將，他們本應該在賽季結束前出現在球隊名單中。
Jamal Crawford is certainly long in the tooth, but he's gone almost his entire career staying healthy throughout the season and showing an ability to get a bucket whenever he feels.
賈馬爾·克勞福德確實年齡有些大了（39歲），但他幾乎整個職業生涯中都保持着健康的狀態，手感好的時候他有着隨時隨地得分的能力。No, he's not the most efficient player, but he is the type of guy who can go get a bucket when you need it, and there is always room for a player like that in the league. It's a big reason why Joe Johnson is getting a shot with the Pistons after a year out of the league.
是的，他並不是效率最高的球員，但他是那種當你需要得分時他就能得分的人，這樣的球員總能在聯盟中有一席之地。 這就是喬·約翰遜在離開聯盟一年後有機會加盟活塞的一個重要原因。But with how well he played for half the season in Memphis last campaign, somebody should at least give him a ring before the postseason starts if not sooner.
但是考慮到上賽季他在孟菲斯的征戰半個賽季的良好表現，至少應該有人在季後賽開始前召喚他。
And if he is forced into minutes, he's going to defend and pass well if nothing else. And who doesn't like a big man who will protect the rim and share the ball?
如果他需要上場更多的時間，就算其他方面不一定能表現好，他也有着良好的防守和傳球。誰會不喜歡一個能護筐，能分享球的大個子呢?In a bench role, Shumpert can give slightly fewer minutes than he did a year ago and be a serviceable wing player for defensive purposes.
作爲替補球員，香珀特可以比去年稍微少上場幾分鐘，成爲一名能勝任防守任務的翼側球員。At minimum, Shumpert can be a locker room presence who can help explain to a team what it takes to win a title from the start of the year to the finish.
至少，香珀特可以成爲更衣室裏的一員，他可以幫助告訴球隊（的年輕人），想要贏得總冠軍，一整年從開始到結束球隊需要怎麼做。He served as LeBron's main three-and-D guy and that's a role he can take on again with slightly less responsibility.
他是勒布朗主要的三分衛（三分和防守），他可以再次擔當這個角色，但他的責任稍微少一些。And now is the perfect time for somebody to commit to JR. They don't need him to be a starter or even the best player on the bench. You just need J.R. to be J.R. and as proof of 2016, that can help a team win a title.
現在是簽下JR.的最佳時機。球隊不需要他成爲首發甚至是最好的板凳球員。只需要J.R.成爲J.R.，以2016年爲證明，這就能幫助球隊贏得冠軍。Besides, it's not like he's not going to forget the score every game.
而且，他也不可能每場比賽都忘記比分吧。更多精彩內容請關注微信公衆號、新浪微博：籃球英文堂
