Orlando a Possible Destination for David Lee?
Posted on May 20, 2014 by Marcus Thompson
奥兰多将会是 David Lee 生涯的下一站吗?
The draft lottery went down and, for the second consecutive year, the Warriors
weren’t focused on ping-pong balls. However, they might have gotten a break
with how the draft lottery turned out. Maybe.
选秀结果在今天也尘埃落定了,同时对勇士而言也连续两年,没有把重心放在小乒乓球上,
但是在今天结果出炉后,他们也可以松一口气了,或许吧。
The Warriors have tried to move David Lee in the past. But it needed to be a
no-brainer in order for them to pull the trigger. But now, per a couple league
sources, the Warriors have lowered the bar realizing they’ve got to come off
that contract so they can go after a co-star for Stephen Curry. Plus, with
Steve Kerr acknowledging he wants a stretch-four, which Lee is not, the writing
is really on the wall for Lee.
勇士在过去也尝试交易 David Lee,但这需要一个用膝盖想就觉得赚的报价,来让他们著
手进行交易。但是根据几则联盟的消息,勇士方面也因为必须处理掉 Lee 的千万合约之后
,他们才能开始物色一个明星球员给 Stephen Curry 搭档而不得不把交易门槛调低,再加
上,Steve Kerr也清楚表明他要的是一个 Stretch Four (投射+运球+传导能力佳的四号位)
而 David Lee 不是,看来 Lee 真的不太妙了。
I’ve been told to watch out for Orlando as a potential trade partner for
Golden State. They have cap space and after a second consecutive year finishing
way down in the Eastern Conference standings, they need to make a move. They
might be a taker for David Lee for the same reasons the Warriors were back in
2010: they need someone who can produce reliably and usher the franchise into
respectability.
Marcus Thompson(本篇记者)表示:“有人跟我说奥兰多将会是金州谈交易案潜在的交易对
像,他们薪资空间够,而且也已经连续两年在东区成绩都在末段班徘回,他们也需要重组。
奥兰多或许会成为 David Lee 的下一个买家就跟当时勇士在2010年买了 Lee 的理由一样:
因为他们需要一个产出稳定,而且又能帮助魔术队成为不容小觑的队伍。”
How did the draft lottery help? The Magic landed at No. 4.
那么选秀小乒乓球有给力吗? 魔术最终拿到了第四顺位
That’s out of the range of the no-brainers: Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker and
Joel Embid. If those are the top 3, as projected by the renown DraftEXpress,
that leaves Orlando probably in play for a guard. Oklahoma State point guard
Marcus Smart will be on the board. So will Australian prodigy Dante Exum. Of
course, Kentucky’s Julius Randle, Arizona’s Aaron Gordon and Indiana’s Noah
Vonieh are on the board. But if the Magic go with a perimeter player, that
could be good for the Warriors for two reasons.
第四顺位就不是个可以避着眼睛乱选就好的位置了:因为 Andrew Wiggins、Jabari Parker
和 Joel Embid 如果上述这些人,根据知名的 DraftEXpree的预测都会在前三选完就不见的
话,那奥兰多可能会选个后卫。来自奥克拉荷马州的控球后卫 Marcus Smart 就在口袋名单
中、还有来自澳洲的天才球员 Dante Exum 也是、当然也不能忘了来自肯塔基的 Julius
Randle、亚利桑那的 Aaron Gordon、印第安那的 Noah Vonieh 都是很好的人选。但如果最
终魔术选的不是内线型球员的话,那对勇士来说就有两个很好的理由。
1. Orlando will still have a need for a proven veteran in David Lee who knows
what it takes to change the culture of a locker room and make a team
competitive.
1. 奥兰多一样得需要一个已经打出身手、有经验且知道怎么建立休息是文化,又能帮助球
队变得更有竞争力的 David Lee。
2. Aaron Afflalo could be expendable. Drafting a guard will give the Magic its
frontcourt of the future: the rookie it drafts plus last year’s first-rounder
Victor Oladipo.
2. Aaron Afflalo 如此一来就变得可有可无了。如果选择了后卫那么就是用前场的未来
去换后场,再加上去年首轮选进的 Victor Oladipo 魔术建军将以后场为主。
As for Lee to Orlando, Glen Davis started 43 games for the Magic before being
bought out and signing with the Clippers, where he became the eighth man. And
when he left, Tobias Harris got several starts at PF. That’s how much the
Magic could use Lee. He and Nikola Vucevic wouldn’t be a great defensive pair.
But a perimeter trio of Smart/Oladipo/Moe Harkless should be able to do some
things on the defensive end.
对奥兰多而言,Glen Davis 去年在被交易到快艇当第8人之前,为魔术先发了43场比赛,
在大宝贝离开后,Tobias Harris 有时也客串了先发大前锋的位置,所以魔术找来 Lee 也
算派得上用场,虽然 David Lee + Nikola Vucevic 不会是一对在防守端很好的组合,但是
外围如果是 Smart + Oladipo + Moe Harkless的话应该可以弥补防守上的问题。
Lee could in essence be a one-year rental for the Magic. After next season, he
becomes a chunky expiring contract Orlando could use. At most, two years of
that $15M+ salary is probably something Orlando would swallow if it means it
can book 18 and 10 every night.
Lee 对魔术在实质上的意义可能可以当作“租用一年”的方法来用,再过了一季之后,
他的到期合约对魔术而言也很好操作。最坏情况也不过就是2年都要付超过15M给他,然后
换来每个晚上 18pts + 10rebs的表现。
Afflalo factors in if the Warriors have to move Klay Thompson. If Minnesota
doesn’t want Lee and the Warriors have to put together a package centered on
Thompson (say Thompson, Barnes and Speights), the Warriors could be fine with
that if they can send Lee to Orlando and come away with Afflalo to replace
Thompson. If Love goes elsewhere, which is likely, the Warriors could package
Lee and Thompson to get someone like Carmelo Anthony, then try to pull off a
separate deal to get Afflalo. He plays both ends and he can shoot the 3. Plus,
Love and GM Bob Myers would welcome another Bruin to the mix.
Afflalo 这支要不要出就看勇士那边是不是会动到 Klay Thompson 了。如果明尼苏达不要
拿 Lee 反而要勇士一定要出到 Klay Thompson 当作主菜来谈的话(假设是 Thompson 、
Barnes 和 Speights),勇士也可以把 Lee 送到魔术换 Afflalo 去顶替 Thompson 的缺,
如果 Love 最后不是去金州,目前看来好像也是这样,那么勇士可以把弄一包 David Lee +
Klay Thompson 去换像是 Carmelo Anthony,然后再试试看其他方案去换 Afflalo。他攻守
两端都行又可以投3分,而且 Love 跟勇士GM Bob Myers 一定会欢迎另一个家乡球员回到
加州。
Moving Lee’s contract is a tough one. But a few teams may be willing to try
him out for one year because he can still play and Lee has proven he can help
lift a bad team.
要处理掉 Lee 的合约不是件容易的事。但还有一些球队或许会愿意在他身上试个一年,
因为他还可以打而且 Lee 也证明过他可以帮助实力较弱的球队变好。
Of course, it’s early and the mock will shift like crazy between now and draft
day. By the end of it, Orlando could end up with Parker or Randle and have its
power forward of the future. The Magic could grab a PF at No. 12 but still
could want Lee for the interim while Gordon or whoever develops.
当然一切都还言之尚早,而且模拟选秀的预测从现在开始,到选秀会当天一定会不断改变,
最后奥兰多搞不好会选到 Parker 或是 Randle 把未来的大前锋定下来。 魔术也可以在第
12顺位时抓一只大前锋,但还是有可能会想要 Lee 顶上 Aaron Gordon 或是其他人还在成
长的过渡期。
