The New York Knicks have a few important members of their roster that they
need to worry about re-signing this offseason, but fortunately Jeremy Lin isn
’t one of them.
紐約尼克的球員名單中，有幾位重要的球員需要擔心下一季的續約問題，
但幸運的是，Lin不是其中一位。

Lin will be the starting point guard for the Knicks for the next few seasons,
whether he likes it or not.
不管他喜歡與否，林書豪都將成為尼克的下一季先發後衛。

As an undrafted rookie entering his third season in the league, Lin will
become a restricted free agent. This means if he accepts an offer with
another team, the Knicks have the right to match it and still retain Lin for
next season.
身為一個未經選秀大會的菜鳥林書豪將展開他在聯盟的第三季，
Lin將成為受限自由球員。
這也意味著若他想接受別隊的合約，尼克有權跟價並在下一季留下他。

Usually, you can’t be too sure whether the original team will be willing to
match any offer. This is especially the case for a player like Jeremy Lin,
who is rumored to receive offers from numerous teams, including the Raptors,
Mavericks, Trail Blazers, Warriors and Nets.
通常你無法確定母隊是否有意願跟價，但這是一個特別的例子，
像林書豪這種球員，謠傳可能接受來自數隊的邀請，
包括多倫多爆龍、達拉斯小牛、波特蘭拓荒者、金州勇士和布魯克林籃網
(應該可以改布魯克林了吧XD)

However, due to a rule in the new CBA known as the “Gilbert Arenas Provision,
” no team can offer Lin more than $5 million next season and $5.2 million
the following season. These are very reasonable figures for a starting point
guard of Lin’s caliber, which the Knicks will certainly be willing to match.


Things get a little trickier after the first two years of the new deal, but
In order to convince Lin to leave NY, team’s may try and offer him a
back-loaded deal that would pay him as much as $25 million over the final two
seasons of his contract. This sounds like a deal Lin wouldn’t be able to
pass up on, but he understands this would cripple his own team and that’s
not the kind of player or person Lin is.
新合約在前兩年過後將會變得有點複雜，但尼克仍然無須太過擔心。
為了說服Lin留在紐約，球團可能會試著給他一張大約，這樣他們將給他一張過後兩季
最多25M的合約。聽起來Lin應該不會放棄這筆合約，
但他了解這樣將會讓他的隊伍不完整，隊上將不會有像樣的球員。

When asked about returning to the Knicks next season, this is what Lin had to
say about his time in New York so far (via the New York Post):
當被問到是否回在下一季會到尼克，以下Lin談及目前為止在紐約的情形(來自紐郵)

I’m definitely comfortable here. I love playing in New York. I love the
fans. They gave me the chance. They believed in me. That’s why I’m here
today. I owe a lot to this organization.
“我在這裡感到很舒服，我喜歡在紐約打球，我愛所有的fans，他們給我機會，他們相信
我，這也就是為什麼我今天在這，我欠他們太多了"

By working with the Knicks to come up with a solution that suits both him and
the team, Jeremy Lin can earn much more popularity and money outside of
basketball than he can anywhere else.
在努力替他和球團尋得解套之後，Lin可以在球場外，比其他地方贏得更多的青睞和錢。

Any Harvard graduate should easily be able to see this, which is why the
Knicks should not worry at all that Lin will re-sign and start for this team
for the next few seasons.It's still nothing the Knicks shoukd be too worried about.
任何一個哈佛畢業的可以清楚了解這些，這也就是為什麼尼克不用擔心，Lin也將會續約
並在下一季擔任先發。尼克實在不用太擔心!!!


後記：
這只是Rumor。我們可以看看就好
實際情形還是要等到暑假過後才會知道
我其實對他留不留在紐約這件不是太擔心
因為畢竟人總是要磨練，幸運的話，他在紐約可以得到他想要的
要不然就是他也能在紐約磨練成一個優秀的人(雖然他已經good enough)
不管到什麼地方，一定都會有好有壞，我們就支持他就夠了!!
