Bulls not looking to deal Luol Deng
Despite a season that has been derailed by injuries, the Chicago Bulls are
determined not to trade impending free-agent forward Luol Deng, sources told
ESPN.com.
根据ESPN的报导，尽管本季到目前因为伤兵还是笼罩芝加哥，已经可以称的上是计画赶不上
变化，但公牛方面决定暂时不交易本季将进入自由球员市场的 Luol Deng
Teams have been inquiring about Deng's availability recently, as the Bulls have
continued to sink in the standings in the wake a knee injury that wrecked
another season for Derrick Rose.
当公牛队因为主将 Derrick Rose 又因为膝盖伤势不能上场，在东区排名上不断节节下滑的
情况下，最近这段期间已经有数支球队询问 Deng 的报价
This week, Deng told the Chicago Sun-Times he was preparing for the possibility
he may be traded. But sources said that is not in the team's plans. Despite
failing to come to terms on a contract extension before the season, the Bulls
remain optimistic they will be able to re-sign Deng next summer.
就在这个礼拜，Deng向芝加哥的Sun-Times表示他自己已经做好被交易的心理准备。但根据
消息透露公牛队并没有想要交易他的意思。尽管在开季前双方未能再延长合约上达成共识，
公牛还是对于在明年夏天留下 Deng 抱持乐观的态度
Having spent his entire 10-year career with Chicago, Deng has consistently said
he wants to stay, though the sides were far apart on contract talks before they
were tabled.
累计目前全部的生涯已经在芝加哥效力达10年，Deng已经表示过自己愿意留在风城，虽然
双方在合约因为意见还是相当分歧而连正式谈判都还没有。
Deng is in the final year of a contact that pays him $14 million this season,
and the Bulls are facing a luxury-tax bill that could exceed $13 million. Some
league executives felt the Bulls, who'd never incurred a luxury tax until last
year, may have been interested in offloading payroll ahead of the trade
deadline.
Deng 目前走到合约中14M的最后一季，而公牛方面也将面临可能超过13M的豪华税负担。
有些联盟的高层猜测公牛直到去年的赛季以前从未碰到这个问题，所以应该会想把自己的
薪资水位在交易大限到来以前降一些下来
For now, though, that will not include Deng.
至少现在看起来，也不会是拿 Deng 来降了
The Bulls (9-16) lost their fourth consecutive game Thursday night and have
dropped eight of their last 10 in falling to 10th place in the Eastern
Conference.
公牛在星期四晚上吞下4连败，同时也是近10场的第8败后，战绩来到9胜16负的成绩，
目前在东区暂时排名第10。
Already without Rose, the team has shut down Deng until at least next week as
he continues to battle a sore Achilles. Jimmy Butler, who recently returned
from a toe injury, suffered an ankle injury Thursday night and may be out for
some time. Joakim Noah, who missed games earlier with a groin injury, has been
battling a knee issue.
已经失去了 Rose 的情况下，现在又至少得面对因为阿基里斯建伤退的缘故失去 Deng 直到
下个礼拜 。Jimmy Bulter也才刚从脚趾的伤势中复原回到场上，又因为脚踝的受伤的关系
可能又缺赛一阵子。先前因为鼠蹊部受伤的Joakim Noah，现在又得面对膝盖伤势。
The Bulls have their own first-round pick and will also get the Charlotte
Bobcats' first-round pick if it falls outside the top 10. The Bobcats (12-14)
are in sixth place in the East.
公牛目前手上有自己的一支首轮签，还加上夏洛特山猫如果跌出东区前10的那支首轮，
目前山猫在东区以12胜14负的成绩暂时排名第6。
