尼克擁有林的早鳥權

Lin Granted Early-Bird Rights

By HOWARD BECK
Published: June 22, 2012


An arbitrator has granted Jeremy Lin his so-called early-Bird rights, which
will give the Knicks much greater latitude in free agency on July 1,
according to a person who was informed of the ruling.

仲裁結果出爐：尼克擁有林書豪的早鳥權。
這讓尼克在七月一日自由市場有更大操作空間。

The arbitrator's ruling means Jeremy Lin will be able to re-sign with the
Knicks without respect to the salary cap, for a starting salary around $5
million.

裁決結果代表的意義：林可以重新與尼克簽約，且無需理會薪資帽的限制。
薪資約在五百萬美元左右。

The arbitrator, Kenneth Dam, issued his ruling Friday, siding with the
National Basketball Players Association, which challenged the N.B.A.’s
interpretation of the rules under the collective bargaining agreement. Dam
handed the union a complete victory in the ruling.

仲裁人Kenneth Dam在週五宣布了裁決結果，判定球員工會勝訴。
工會挑戰NBA的薪資條款，並取得壓倒性勝利。

The ruling means that both Lin and Steve Novak of the Knicks will be able to
re-sign with the team without respect to the salary cap, for a starting
salary around $5 million each. Just as critically, it means that the Knicks
will not need to use their midlevel exception to sign either player, which
will allow them to use that slot for another free agent.

裁決結果代表尼克可以用5百萬美元簽下林和Novak。
同時尼克不需要動用到中產特例，他們可以用這筆錢去簽其他自由球員。

The ruling — which applies to any player who was claimed off waivers — also
affects Chauncey Billups of the Los Angeles Clippers and J. J. Hickson of the
Portland Trail Blazers. Billups and Hickson will now have full Bird rights,
allowing them to re-sign with their teams for any amount up to the maximum
salary.

裁決結果同樣適用於其他從讓渡名單被撿回的球員，
如快艇的Chauncey與拓荒者的J.J. Hickson，球隊如今擁有這兩人的完整鳥權。
