How LeBron James’ arrival with Lakers may affect Warriors’ free agency plans
LBJ与湖人的签约如何影响勇士FA的计画
Nearly 375 miles away from their Oakland headquarters, the Warriors saw yet
another example of the opponents remaining intent on taking away their
championship hardware.
距离勇士奥克兰总部约375英哩远的地方，勇士正在观察另外一个NBA队伍急切的在拼凑他
的夺冠拼图。
LeBron James landed in Los Angeles on Saturday. Then less than 24 hours after
the hand-wringing over Paul George both staying in Oklahoma City and even
declining a meeting, the Los Angeles Lakers snatched James away from the
Cleveland Cavaliers, marking the second time in his 15-year NBA career that
he left his hometown franchise. His agency group announced on Sunday that
James agreed to a four-year, $154 million deal with the Lakers.
LBJ在星期六的时候到了洛杉矶。在PG拒绝跟湖人会谈，决定留在奥克拉荷马不到24小时，
湖人就从骑士那里得到LBJ，在LBJ的15年NBA生涯，第二次离开他家乡的队伍。LBJ的经纪
团队星期天的时候宣布，LBJ同意以四年1亿5400万镁加入湖人。
Meanwhile, the Warriors ceded the NBA spotlight after commanding it through
three championship runs in the past four seasons. Beyond making the important
albeit expected move in agreeing to re-sign Kevin Durant to a so-called “
one-plus-one” deal, the Warriors did not make any other moves on the first
day of free agency.
同时，在勇士四年三冠之后，NBA的焦点终于移开了。除了再次与KD签下"1+1"的约之后，
勇士在FA市场第一天没有做出任何交易。
How the Warriors proceed can help fend off what other opposing team does with
their roster, including the Lakers.
勇士要如何往前，才能抵抗其他各队，包括湖人，加强他们的球员名单呢？
Granted, Warriors general manager Bob Myers has stressed that he wants to
upgrade his bench with wings that can offer scoring bunch and defense. He
would like to mix his bench with developing young players and trust veterans.
The Warriors kept the goal regardless of the Thunder retaining George (four
years, $137 million), the Houston Rockets keeping Chris Paul (four years,
$160 million) or the Lakers acquiring James. After all, they still have
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Durant.
理所当然地，勇士总管Bob Myers强调他希望可以增强他们的板凳，可以在侧翼方面提供防
守及得分能力。他想在板凳方面，可以培养年轻新秀，搭配令人放心的老将。勇士朝着这
方面前进，不管雷霆留下了PG(四年一亿3700万镁)，火箭留下了CP3(4年一亿6000万镁)以
及湖人签下了LBJ。毕竟，勇士仍有四个明星球员，Curry，KT，Green跟KD。
Yet, the Warriors always had limited financial tools to upgrade their bench.
They only have a tax-payer midlevel exception ($5.3 million). Otherwise, they
will fill up to three other roster spots on veteran minimum contracts. It
does not help that the salary cap jumped from $99.093 million (2017-18) to
$101.969 million (2018-19). That marked a modest increase compared to when
the cap jumped from $70 million (2015-16) to a record $94.1 million (2016-17)
because of the league’s new television deal with ABC/ESPN and Turner through
2025 worth $2.67 billion per year.
然而，勇士要升级它们的板凳，在银子方面还是有些限制的。他们只有一个中产特例(530
万镁)。其他的就只有三个缺给老将底薪。对于薪资帽从9909.3万镁(2017-18)到1亿196.9
万镁(2018-19)来说，没有太多帮助。若是跟之前相比，那时候联盟跟ABC/ESPN以及TNT签
约转播到2025年，每年可收入26.7亿镁，所以之前薪资帽是从7000万镁(2015-16)上升到
9410万镁(2016-17)，算是增加没太多。
“There may not be the space or the room there was in the previous year, but
that will all fluctuate,” Myers said recently. We’ll see. We’re not
equipped with a lot of money. So if we’d like to win some ties, we can offer
equal compensation. Maybe we can get players that want to be part of our
environment, but you never quite know.”
“与去年相比，今年的空间似乎没有那么多；不过这就是会起起伏伏的，”Myers最近有说
到。“我们会看看，我们是没有太多钱的。所以，若是我们想签一些球员，我们可以提供
一些合理的薪水。或许我们可以找到一些球员想加入我们勇士的，但是这没人知道。”
Case in point, JaVale McGee accepted a one-year deal at the veteran’s
minimum with the Lakers after the Warriors expressed interest in retaining
him. The Warriors missed out on a potential target at the taxpayer mid-level
exception (former Rockets swingman Trevor Ariza accepted a one-year, $15
million deal with Phoenix) as well as the veteran’s minimum (former Portland
forward Ed Davis accepted a one-year, $4 million deal with Brooklyn).
就像是在勇士球团表示想留下McGee之后，他仍然接受了一年老将底薪约加入湖人。勇士也
错失了一些机会可以用中产特例(前火箭摇摆人Ariza接受了太阳一年1500万镁)，以及老将
底薪(前拓荒前锋Ed Davis一年400万镁加入篮网)。
Still, the Warriors had prioritized upgrading their roster with youth. They
are carving out bigger roles for second-year forward Jordan Bell and
third-year center Damian Jones. The Warriors also reiterated their interest
in retaining third-year forward Kevon Looney. Looney will still seek offers
elsewhere, in hopes he can build off of career-best season in points (4.4),
shooting percentage (58.0), rebounds (3.3), minutes (13.8) and games played
(66). But Looney has expressed gratitude for how the Warriors have developed
him under the team’s All-Star talent and coach Steve Kerr.
不过，勇士仍把球员名单年轻化放在首位。他们期待二年级生Jordan Bell以及三年级生
Damian Jones可以承担更多的责任。勇士也重申希望可以留下三年级前锋Kevon Looney，
他去年打出生涯最佳，打了66场比赛，场均4.4，命中率58趴，3.3个篮板，13.8分钟/场，
他想看看其他队伍会给如何的约。Looney对勇士让他在几位明星球员下成长，在教练Kerr
下学习，表示感激。
Can the Warriors find more upgrades elsewhere?
勇士能在其他地方再找到补强吗？
They remain interested in acquiring Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley,
who could help the team’s wing needs with his perimeter defense and
offensive aggressiveness. Though he played only a combined 46 games last
season with Detroit and the Clippers because of a sports hernia injury, the
27-year-old Bradley is believed to have recovered from the ailment. The
Warriors also would like to acquire Memphis shooting guard Tyreke Evans after
he averaged 19.2 points on 45.2 percent shooting. 5.1 rebounds and 5.2
assists last season.
他们仍对从快艇找来后卫Avery Bradley有兴趣，他的外围防守及进攻的侵略性，可以提供
勇士侧翼上的帮助。虽然他去年在活塞跟快艇因为疝气手术只打了46场比赛，27岁的
Bradley被认为能够从这个病痛中回归。另外，勇士也想从灰熊那找来得分后卫Tyreke
Evans，上季成绩是场均19.2分，命中率45.2趴，5.1个篮板，5.2个助攻。
As for the veteran’s minimum possibilities, the Warriors consider veteran
forward Jamal Crawford as the most coveted. Crawford will entertain offers
and see how those compare both with his role and salary, something that may
not be clear until clarity emerges on James’ future and if the San Antonio
Spurs trade Kawhi Leonard. But the 38-year-old Crawford enjoyed his lone
season with the Warriors in 2008-09 and would help the team with dependable
secondary scoring and locker room leadership.
至于老将底薪的选择，勇士最想要的会是老将Jamal Crawford。Crawford会看看他手上的
约，比较一下他在那些球队会扮演的角色跟薪水，但是这在LBJ以及马刺Leonard的动向还
没确定之前，Crawford的决定大概没办法得到厘清。但是，38岁的Crawford，2008-09在勇
士打过球，将会帮助勇士在二轮进攻以及球员休息室的领导。
When will the Warriors receive clarity on those fronts? Who knows. Yet, the
NBA’s dry market may help the Warriors’ fortunes amid their quest to add
reinforcements around their All-Stars.
到底什么时候这些消息可以得到解答呢？天晓得，但是勇士想要在他们已经有的明星球员
旁边加上一些补强，在没有太多好料的FA市场或许对勇士来说也不错。
“We’ll have to be a little bit more patient, but that’s okay,” Myers said
recently. “We’ll see what evolves and see what develops.”
“我们就是得要多点耐心，那是OK的，”Myers说。“我们就看看之后的演变囉。”
