NBA Commissioner Adam Silver weighs in on Warriors’ dominance
NBA主席Silver: 超强的勇士不一定是坏事
LAS VEGAS –Is the Warriors’ recent dominance and influx of talent bad for
the NBA? The league’s most influential official does not buy that argument.
近期的勇士王朝以及收集了天赋满满的球员对NBA是坏事？联盟最具影响力的官员对那种说
法并不买帐。
“I don’t think it’s necessarily per se bad that the Warriors are so
dominant,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a press conference here on
Tuesday. “I’m not trying to create some sort of forced parity. What we’re
really focusing on is parity of opportunity.”
“我不认为勇士称霸联盟一定就是坏事，”NBA联盟主席Silver在星期二的记者会上说
到。“我不会试着去创造某种硬乔出的平衡，我们应该要专注的是机会上的平等。”
So even if Silver praised the Warriors once again for winning their third NBA
title in the past four years, the NBA commissioner and the league’s owners
addressed competitive balance during the Board of Governors meeting.
所以即使Silver再次称赞勇士的四年三冠，在球团老板会议上，主席及球团老板们还是提
到了竞争的平衡性上。
It might not be surprising considering what just happened this month during
NBA’s free agency. LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Los
Angeles Lakers, dramatically furthering the divided talent between the
Western and Eastern Conference. With depressed interest in DeMarcus Cousins
because of his left Achilles’ injury, the Warriors acquired the All-Star
center using their taxpayer midlevel exception ($5.3 million), which gives
them a starting lineup full of All-Stars. Silver had already entertained such
questions about competitive balance when the Warriors and Cavaliers met in
the NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year.
当看到这个月的FA市场发生了什么，会有这样的反应也就不意外了。LBJ离开骑士降临湖
人，让东西两联盟的天赋差距更加明显。Cousins因为阿基里斯腱伤没有太多球队有兴
趣，所以勇士可以用中产特例(530万镁)拿到一个全明星中锋，让勇士的先发可以是上一届
的全明星。当勇士跟骑士连续四年总冠对决的时候，Silver就已经用一种比较轻松的方式
来回答有关竞争平衡性的问题。
“There’s a fair point to be made in a tax system when certain teams are
spending significantly more than others, that’s not parity of opportunity,”
Silver said. “Also, certain teams have advantages other teams don’t based
on their resources and market and the wealth of the market. They may be in a
position to go deeper into the tax than another team does.”
“在有奢侈税的制度里，当有些球队比其他球队愿意花更多的钱然后说这是不公平的，这
算是中肯的论点，”Siliver说。“所以，若是根据球团资源以及球队所在的市场大小，某
些队伍会有优势，有些队伍则无。有些队可能会缴更多的奢侈税，但是其他队不会。”
The Warriors are in that position. Though they were limited toward acquiring
players on a taxpayer midlevel exception and veteran’s minimum deals, the
Warriors have around a $142 million payroll because of their five All-Stars
in Cousins, Stephen Curry ($37.4 million), Kevin Durant ($30 million), Klay
Thompson (nearly $19 million) and Draymond Green ($17.5 million). The
Warriors are nearly $19 million over the luxury tax, and, therefore, owe an
additional $61.75 million in luxury tax penalties.
勇士就是缴税的球队。虽然他们只用中产特例跟老将底薪去找球员，勇士整体薪资还是高
达1亿4200万镁，就是因为他们的五星阵容
