LaMarcus Aldridge Trade Rumors: Houston Rockets, NY Knicks, Chicago Bulls,
Lakers Options Over Portland Trail Blazers Contract In 2014?
The Portland Trail Blazers have a major decision coming with LaMarcus
Aldridge, as the team may look to trade the star next season to a team like
the Houston Rockets, NY Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Lakers or Los Angeles Clippers
if the two sides can't work out a contract extension past the 2014 season, as
the star is set to be a free agent after next season.
波特兰拓荒者要对LaMarcus Aldridge的问题做出决定。假如双方在2014球季过后还没能
达成提前续约的决定，那么这位球星将于下一季过后变成自由球员，拓荒者很可能不得不
寻求交易这位球星，下家也许是休士顿火箭队、纽约尼克队、芝加哥公牛队、湖人队或
洛杉矶快艇队。
Aldridge had a career year for the Blazers and factored into MVP voting for
the first time and as his value rises, the chances of him signing an
extension with the team gets smaller and smaller. Aldridge isn't necessarily
going to leave Portland, but based on the way he has played and what he is
getting paid and what the team can offer him, there is no reason why he
wouldn't test the free agent market come next season, especially with Kevin
Love possibly getting traded before that. Love makes Aldridge's decision
interesting, as he could be a consolation prize if teams miss out on Love and
he also could benefit of teams get into a bidding war over him.
Aldridge打出他在拓荒者的生涯年并首次入选MVP的候选名单，这些让他的身价暴涨不少
，也导致他与拓荒者提前续约的可能性变得越来越小。Aldridge未必一定会离开拓荒者
，但他很可能会进入自由市场试水温。特别是在那些竞逐Love失败的球队眼里，Aldridge
可能会变成那些球队新的目标，势必会引发其他球队哄抢，可以让Aldridge利益最大化。
According to ESPN.com writer Marc Stein, Aldridge is likely not signing a
contract extension with the Blazers, because based on the salary cap right
now and where the team is at with committed money, they can only offer him so
much and he will get more on the market next year. Aldridge has been slowly
growing in talent over the past couple seasons and he is coming off his best
year with 23 points and 11 rebounds for his averages and those are both
career highs. The Blazers want to keep him, but it will come down whether
they actually can do it or not.
据ESPN的专栏作家Marc Stein透露，Aldridge很可能会拒绝与球队提前续约。因为据
现有的薪资上限，拓荒者能给他就只这么多了，但他能在明年的市场上拿到的更多。
Aldridge在过去两个球季以来，技巧端表现越来越成熟，他还打出了场均23分和11篮板
的职业生涯最佳表现。拓荒者当然想留住Aldridge，但结果又是另外一回事了。
ESPN.com reported earlier in the year that teams like the Chicago Bulls,
Clippers, Knicks and Rockets were interested in making a deal for Aldridge
and those teams could be in the mix again. The Rockets are looking at a Kevin
Love or Rajon Rondo deal and if those don't work out, they could look at
making a Big 3 with Dwight Howard, James Harden and Aldridge. To get that
deal done, the team will have to trade Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik, as both are
making a ton of money next year and they are coming into the final years of
their contracts as well. Aldridge has over $16 million left on his deal for
next season and even with the cap rising, there is only so much he can make
from the team in an extension.
ESPN称公牛、快艇、尼克和火箭都对Aldridge有兴趣。火箭正在关注Kevin Love或Rajon
Rondo的情况，一旦追逐计划失败的话，火箭可能会把目标转向组建Dwight Howard、James
Harden和Aldridge的三巨头，为了搞定这桩交易，火箭队会选择交易林书豪和Omer Asik，
明年他们俩都很贵但他们下季将变成到期约。 即使提高薪资上限，Aldridge下一季还有
超过1600万的薪资，如果他跟拓荒者提前续约的话也就只有那么多。
Aldridge is turning 29 over the summer and with him nearing 30 he will be
looking to lock in a long contract and teams like the Knicks and others may
have enough money by that point to make it enticing. Stephen A. Smith
reported that the Knicks had the chance to trade for Aldridge last season and
they did not pull off the deal and they also had chances at getting Rajon
Rondo and Kyle Lowry and now the team could look to add Aldridge again after
messing it up the first time.
今年夏天过后，Aldridge即将满29岁，随着30岁的即将到来，他将会锁定在寻求一分长期
合约，像尼克或其他支能出得起诱人价码的球队都可能会是他的目标。Stephen A. Smith
称尼克上季本来有机会得到Aldridge或Rajon Rondo和Kyle Lowry的，但他们没能完成这笔
交易，现在尼克可能会再卷土重来抢Aldridge。
