Bob Myers on DeMarcus Cousins: “The goal for us is to have him in the
playoffs”
Myers讲到Cousins：“我们的目标是在季后赛的时候有他。”
LAS VEGAS – The Warriors carve out nearly an infinite amount of contingency
plans based on best-case and worst-case scenarios. Incidentally, acquiring
All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins at the taxpayer mid-level exception ($5.3
million) did not represent any of those contingency plans.
勇士通常会准备无数个应变计画来应付最好或是最糟的状况，而以中产特例拿到中锋
Cousins绝对不是这些应变计画之一。
Even if the Warriors have become an embarrassment of riches with a new
starting lineup that has combined for 25 NBA All-Star appearances, they are
wrestling with a question that partly explains why Cousins became available
in the first place.
即使现在勇士拥有了合计有25次全明星出赛的先发的豪华阵容，他们仍然有个难解的问
题，那也部分解释了为何Cousins可以是签的到的原因。
When will Cousins return from a left Achilles tendon injury?
到底Cousins什么时候可以从阿基里斯腱伤后复出呢？
“The goal for us is to have him in the playoffs,” Myers said at halftime of
the Warriors’ 87-81 summer-league win on Sunday over the Houston Rockets. “
That doesn’t mean we’ll wait until the playoffs. When he’s ready to play,
he’ll play. We just don’t know when that will be.”
“我们的目标是要在季后赛的时候有他上场，”Myers在夏联勇士对火箭时的中场说到。
“那不代表我们会等到季后赛才让他上场。当他可以打得时候，我们就会让他上场，我们
只是还不知道那个时间会是什么时候。”
The Warriors might have some clarity soon.
勇士可能很快会知道。
Myers said that Cousins plans to get reevaluated later this month on his
progress since sustaining the injury with the New Orleans Pelicans on Jan. 26
against Houston. Shortly after the Warriors agreed to a deal with Cousins
last Monday, Cousins told The Undefeated he planned to return in time for
training camp in late September. Shortly after signing his contract in Las
Vegas on Friday, though, Cousins changed his message that fits more with what
the Warriors want.
Myers说Cousins计画是在这个月底要再次评估复原的状况。虽然在勇士同意签下Cousins
后，Cousins告诉媒体他计画在九月的训练营回归，但是在星期五正式签约之后，Cousins
改变了说法，比较接近勇士想要的状况。
“I think the surgery is anywhere from eight to ten months from the time you
have it,” Myers said. “For us, it won’t be, ‘We need you to get out there
tonight. It’ll be ramping it up slowly. You can’t really tell with a guy
until they get on the court and does certain things.”
“我想大概是手术后8到10个月比较合理，”Myers说。“对我们而言，不会就是‘我们今
晚需要你上场’那样子处理，我们觉得，我们会等到看他在球场可以做到那些事情后才会
知道。”
The Warriors have that luxury to wait because they have four other All-Stars
in Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The
Warriors did not immediately dismiss concerns about Cousins’ injury, though,
when his representatives contacted Myers last Monday. Myers said his camp
allowed the Warriors to look into Cousins’ medical records.
勇士可以有那样的奢侈在等待上，因为他们有另外四个全明星，Curry，KD，KT跟Green。
当上星期一Cousins的经纪人打电话给Myers时，勇士对Cousins的伤势并不是全无疑虑。
None of which Myers expected to happen. The Warriors had simply hoped to
bolster their wing depth and add youth to a roster by using their taxpayer
midlevel exception and veteran’s minimum deals. Myers called Cousins’
initial contact “one of those unexpected moments.”
Myers压根没预期到这件事情的发生。勇士本来只是想用中产特例跟老将底薪来增强侧翼深
度，跟年轻化。Myers称Cousins打电话给他的是他人生中"几个出乎意料的其中之一"。
“You never know how it’s going to culminate. We don’t have an established
center so it actually worked out well,” Myers said. “The fact we can play
some of the young guys heading into the season and waiting for them to get
ready, it’s good for us.”
“永远不知道事情会如何演变，我们没有个很好的中锋，所以最后的结果很好，”Myers
说。“所以我们可以让我们一些年轻的球员开始打季初，然后可以让他们成长，所以这对
我们来说很好。”
After all, the Warriors allowed JaVale McGee to accept a veteran’s minimum
deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. On Sunday, Zaza Pachuilia accepted a
one-year, $2.6 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, while veteran David
West likely faces retirement from a 15-year NBA career. And the Warriors plan
to carve out larger roles next season for second-year forward Jordan Bell and
third-year center Damian Jones.
毕竟，勇士让McGee跟湖人用老将底薪签约，星期天的时候Zaza跟活塞签下一年260万镁的
约，然后大卫西有可能在15年球季后要退休，而勇士计画要在下季培养二年级生Jordan
Bell跟三年级生Damian Jones，要让他们承担更多责任。
That leaves the Warriors almost done with free agency. Myers said he is “
pretty close” in finalizing the roster after also drafting Cincinnati
guard/forward Jacob Evans and re-signing fourth-year forward Kevon Looney.
The Warriors are expected to re-sign restricted free agent Patrick McCaw and
sign forward Jonas Jerebko, who was recently waived by the Utah Jazz. The
Warriors will then likely keep their last roster spot open for cost-saving
and flexibility purposes.
所以勇士大概在FA市场就这样了，Myers说完成最后手续签下选秀的Jacob Evans以及四年
级生Kevon Looney之后，他"差不多"就底定球员名单了。勇士被认为会再签下Patrick
MaCaw以及刚被爵士释出的Jonas Jerebko。所以，勇士为了省钱以及保持将来操作上的弹
性，会空下名单上最后一个位置，
All of which leaves Myers confident about the moves even if Evans has
averaged only 6.25 points on 32 percent shooting through four summer league
games.
即使Evans目前在夏联场均6.25分，命中率32趴，Myers对目前的勇士的操作很有信心。
“I would never compare Summer League to NBA basketball good or bad,” Myers
said. “What this is is a good chance to get acclimated to the game. I decide
to evaluate players three or four years after we enter the NBA. We’re all
prone to being wrong whether we think someone is too good or not good enough
in their first week of the NBA career. It’s not good for anyone else. We’re
hoping and we think we can put him out there.”
“我不会拿夏联的战绩去比较NBA季赛战绩的好或坏，”Myers说。“这只是让球员去适应
比赛，我们会在球员进到NBA三到四年才去评估球员。在球员进到NBA一个礼拜后就去评断
一个球员是好是坏通常都会是错的，这对任何一个人来说都是不对的。我们希望，我们也
认为我们他是够实力上场的。”
And if that does not work out right away, well the Warriors can lean on five
different All-Stars. And if Cousins is not immediately available, well, the
Warriors still have four other All-Stars.
即使最后没成功，勇士还有五个全明星啊！即使Cousins没办法马上上场，勇士也还有四个
全明星啊！
“If you asked me before,” Myers said, “I’m not going to say DeMarcus
Cousins we thought was a reality going into free agency.”
“如果你早些时候问我，”Myers说。“我不会说我们认为Cousins会投身FA市场的~”
