After impressing the Warriors all season with his consistent play and
durability, Kevon Looney heard some comforting words about his future.
The Warriors contacted Looney shortly after free agency began on Saturday to
express interest in retaining him, league sources told Bay Area News Group.
But just as the Warriors had feared after declining to make his $2.3 million
contract for next season guaranteed, Looney is expected to field interest
elsewhere.
勇士在开市后很快联系Looney，希望把他留下来，但Looney想听别队的报价
The Warriors and Looney would both like to extend their partnership together
after the third-year, 22-year-old forward achieved a potential turning point
in his young NBA career. After playing only a combined 58 games through his
first two seasons because of overlapping hip injuries that required surgery,
Looney posted career-highs in points (4.4), shooting percentage (58.0),
rebounds (3.3), minutes (13.8) and games played (66). But Looney had missed
only one game attributed to an ailment (flu-like symptoms).
勇士和Looney双方都有意延长合作关系
Yet, both the Warriors and Looney have their own reasons for possibly parting
ways.
然而，双方都有可能分道扬镳的理由
The Warriors can only pay Looney up to $2.3 million per year, while Looney
would like to entertain what offers he might receive elsewhere. Looney would
like to return to the Warriors because of the team’s championship culture,
and how he has developed under coach Steve Kerr and his All-Star teammates.
The Warriors would like Looney to return because of his defense, work ethic
and knowledge of NBA personnel. While the Warriors hope he does not attract
too much outside interest because of his limited offensive game, the
22-year-old Looney would like long-term security and a chance to grow his
role.
勇士只能给Looney最多2.3M/y，Looney听看看别队的报价，
Looney想回到勇士是因为球队的冠军文化、他在Kerr及全明星队友底下成长，
勇士想要Looney回来是因为他的防守、职业道德以及对NBA人员的了解。
虽然勇士希望Looney因为其有限的进攻能力而不得其他球队的青睐，
但22岁的Looney想要长约和一个机会扮演更重要的角色。
“They always tell me if somebody comes and gives me a better offer, you
should take it. But this is a team where it’s all about winning,” Looney
told Bay Area News Group in April. “I’d love to be here and be a part of
this. It’s something to think about, for sure.”
“他们总是告诉我，如果有更好的合约，你应该接受。但我们是一个只以
赢球为目标的球队。”Looney说，“我想在这里并成为其中的一份子，这当然是我会
考虑的一个点。”
The Warriors can sign a player using their tax-payer mid-level exception
($5.3 million), though Looney would not be even contractually qualified to
receive it. The Warriors, which have a total of six pending free agents, will
also seek players who are willing to sign veteran’s minimum contracts.
勇士可以用他们的迷你中产特例(5.3M)签下一个球员，虽然Looney不具备
合同条件来接受它。勇士还有六个未签的自由球员，也会追求有意愿签下老将底薪的
球员。
