The Lakers may or may not have the services of Phil Jackson, Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza next season. Do they re-sign Trevor Ariza or Lamar Odom? Or both? And is Phil Jackson coming back?

Trevor Ariza sat fidgeting before the mediaTuesday, his hands on his lap beneath a table twisting, his feet movingrapidly, his eyes darting when the first question lobbed at him wasabout his future with the Lakers. 周二媒体日，记者一上来就问了阿里扎一个关于去留的问题，这让阿里扎看起来有些不安，不停地搓手，顿脚，眼光有点晃。
Arizasaid he had just met with Lakers Coach Phil Jackson and General ManagerMitch Kupchak for his exit interview, the conversation about his effortthat helped the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic to win the NBAchampionship and about his upcoming free-agent status. 阿里扎说他刚在赛季总结会上跟教练和总经理库普切克聊过，谈到他的总决赛上的优秀表现，当然也聊到他即将成为自由球员的问题。
Ariza made $3.1 million this season and islooking at getting a big pay raise this summer when he becomes anunrestricted free agent. 阿里扎这赛季才310万的年薪，所以这个夏天成为自由球员之后肯定是想要一个更大的合同。
As he sat, with a fresh haircut, Ariza was asked if he was coming back to play for the Lakers next season. 阿里扎刚理过发，坐在那里看起来很精神，这时有人问题下赛季还会不会为湖人效力。
"Iwould love to," Ariza said, smiling. "I would hope so. I feel like I'mat home here, because I am at home. But I would definitely love to comeback." 他笑着说：“我肯定想啊，我也希望如此。我已经完全把这里当成家了。我希望继续在湖人打球。”
The Lakers can pay Ariza the most of any NBA team and can give him the longest contract, up to six years. 作为阿里扎的东家，湖人能给他最大的合同，而且最长可达6年。
Arizaalready has piqued the interest of the Detroit Pistons, who are belowthe salary cap and will look at signing Ariza if they trade smallforward Tayshaun Prince, according to two NBA executives who were notauthorized to speak publicly about the situation. 两位不愿透露姓名的NBA官员透露：活塞现在有薪金空间，他们表示如果普林斯这个夏天离开活塞，他们想签下阿里扎，但阿里扎并没有表现出多大兴趣。
Ariza said he was aware of the rumor involving the Pistons. 阿里扎说他自己也听说了有关活塞的传言。
"WhereverI can help a team or if I feel like I'm loved or wanted, I wouldn'tmind [playing there]," Ariza said. "Definitely stability will mean themost. Money is important. This is our job here. I've built a bond withmy coaches and my teammates. We have a really good team and I thinkthat we could be really good for a long time." 他说：“在这里能打上球，为球队做出自己的贡献，我也觉得球队需要我，我当然想留下来。稳定下来，不要到处流浪，这是最重要的。但钱也是要考虑的，这是我们的工作。我跟教练还有队友已经建立了很好的关系。我们是一支很好的球队，而且我们会好很长一段时间。”
Ariza,who turns 24 this month, attended Westchester High and UCLA and was abig part of the Lakers' success this season. He started 20 games atsmall forward and played in all 82 in the regular season. 阿里扎这个月就24岁了，从Westchester高中，到UCLA，再到湖人，本赛季更是发挥了重要的作用。他本赛季常规赛打满82场，其中以首发小前锋出场20场。
Hisplay improved in the playoffs, averaging 11.3 points and 4.2 rebounds,and he shot 47.6% from three-point range over 23 postseason games. 他在季后赛的表现有所提高，在总共23场比赛里，场均拿到11.3分，4.2个篮板，并有47.6%的三分球命中率。
"It's up to Mitch and Jerry Buss because they write the checks," Ariza's agent, David Lee, said Tuesday.
"It's up to them to determine his value. Theyknow what the market will bear. I think he proved his worth in this[playoff] series, and he's only 24." 阿里扎的经纪人大卫李在周二的时候说：“去还是留要库普切克和杰里巴斯来决定，他们是开发票的人。他们会估量他的价值的，他们也会去了解市场行情。不过我认为阿里扎在季后赛的表现已经证明了他的价值，而且他才24岁。”
Ariza was asked if he got the sense that Jackson and Kupchak wanted him back.
"Yeah, I definitely felt love," Ariza said. "I felt a lot of love." 记者问阿里扎，自己有没有觉得杰克逊和库普切克会把他留下来。他说：“肯定会的。在这我感觉到了他们对我的爱惜。”
Alot of talk in basketball circles has involved whether or not theLakers could keep both Ariza and forward Lamar Odom, who also will bean unrestricted free agent this summer. Odom was on the Lakers' booksfor $14.1 million this season. 奥多姆赛季结束后合同也到期了，他本赛季年薪1410万。人们都在谈论湖人能不能把阿里扎和奥多姆都留住呢。
"I got a sense that they'd like us both," Ariza said. 阿里扎说：“我觉得他们对我们两个都挺爱惜的。”
Teams can begin negotiating with free agents July 1.
Ariza hopes he can get his deal done quickly. 球队最早能在7月1日开始更球员进行谈判。阿里扎希望这一切早点搞定。
"But it should be a fun time for me and my family," Ariza said. "I'm just going to enjoy it a little bit.
"Hopefully it doesn't get too out of hand." 阿里扎说：“现在我跟我的家人都很开心，我会先跟家人呆一段时间。希望事情不会变得太出乎意料。”
The Lakers' Derek Fisher, Pau Gasol, Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar and Sun Yue also had their exit interviews Tuesday. 费舍尔，加索尔，小沃顿，砝码，还有孙悦都参加他们的赛季总结会。
Fisher said he talked about the future with Jackson and got the impression that Jackson will be the Lakers' coach next season. 费舍尔说他跟杰克逊谈了谈将来，他有种感觉杰克逊下赛季还会是湖人的主教练。
"Ididn't get the feeling leaving [my interview] that he wasn't going tobe my coach next season," Fisher said. "But as you guys know and aswell as I've learned, just because that's the card he's showing youdoesn't necessarily mean that that's the one that he's going to play." 他说：“跟他谈完之后，我们没有感觉到他有要离开的意思。但是大家都知道，不管他现在说什么，做什么都说明不了问题，一切要到下赛季开始的时候才会确定下来。”
