The season-long question, then, will not only be how [Danny Granger and Paul
George play] together, but whether [Larry] Bird tries to move Granger before
the trading deadline. Here was my takeaway from a half-hour conversation: If
Granger is playing well and the Pacers are winning, Bird will hold onto
Granger and try to win a title this year. If he’s struggling and the
Granger-George duo isn’t quite working, he won’t hesitate to pull the
trigger on a deal by the trade deadline.
Paul George与溜马达成续约协议是否意味着球队将在交易截止日前，选择交易走前锋
Danny Granger呢？
对此，溜马总裁Larry Bird表示，如果Granger的表现够好而溜马也能赢球的话，球队
会留下Granger并在今年对总冠军发起冲击，而如果Granger的表现不好而Granger与乔
治之组合效果不佳，那么，Bird会在交易截止日前果断交易走Granger。
“I’ve talked to Danny about it; we definitely want to keep him,” Bird
said. “But we’ve got to find a way to do that and it’s not going to be
easy. I saw this coming four years ago. When we started getting better, I
thought, eventually, somebody’s got to go. We signed Roy (Hibbert), David
(West), Paul (George) and George (Hill), and we’re never going to go over
the luxury tax, so you add it up, eventually, somebody’s got to go. Right
now, we’re strapped a little bit. But I would like to see it through the
year. If it’s working good, I’m going with it (keeping Granger).”
Bird说道：“我和Danny谈过此事了，我们当然想要留下他。但我们得找到个解决的办
法，而那不会那么简单的。在四年前，我就预见此事将会发生了。 当我们开始变的更
好时，我就想到了最终会有人要离开。我们签下了Roy、David、Paul与George ，而我
们永远也不想缴纳奢侈税，所以，最终总会有某人要离队。 我们现在有些缺钱，但我
希望今年能够顺利。如果Granger的表现够好且球队能赢球的话，我会留下他的。”
