The Oklahoma City Thunder lost Kevin Martin in free agency and did not sign a
big name player, and Kevin Durant knows everyone throughout the organization
understands the franchise's salary situation.
雷霆不但在暑假失去了后卫Kevin Martin，也无法在自由市场上签到其他有知名度的
球员。对此，雷霆一哥Kevin Durant表示他与队友都知道球队之所以无法花钱补人，
是因为有一定的薪资压力。
“People that really knew, as far as our money situation, knew that we
couldn'tsign anybody too big,” Durant said. “We got myself, Russell
(Westbrook), (Kendrick Perkins) and Serge (Ibaka) all locked in on big
contracts so it's kind of hard to sign (someone).
“队上的人都知道一件事：由于球队目前的薪资状况，管理层其实无法签到其他知名
球星。光是我、Russell (Westbrook)、Kendrick (Perkins)、与Serge (Ibaka)这四人
的合约，就会对球队的薪资空间造成限制。”
Everybody wants us to getthe biggest free agents, but it's kind of hard to do
that with the money that we have (committed) and the tax and the new CBA.
“所有的雷霆迷都希望我们能得到对球队最有帮助的大牌，但考量薪资架构、当地税率
与新版劳资规定，这实在是难以做到的事情。”
"So it was kind of difficult. But we knew the business side of it. But we
know we have a really good team.”
“不过，我们不但都知道球队在经营上的苦衷，而且仍然认为这是一支有机会拿冠军的
好球队。”
The Thunder have more than $53 million committed to Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka
and Perkins next season.
事实上，雷霆下一季光上述的四位球员，就得支付至少5300万美金的薪资。
