Kings willing to trade for Kevin Love without assurance he'll re-sign
The Sacramento Kings have let the Minnesota Timberwolves know they are
interested in trading for All-Star forward Kevin Love – and the Kings would
make a deal without any assurance from Love he'd re-sign with them, a league
source told Yahoo Sports.
据消息人士向Yahoo Sports透露，国王方面已经知会灰狼，他们对Love的交易十分感兴趣
。同时国王还作出表态，即便Love不愿对球队做出任何在未来续留的承诺，他们仍希望
达成这笔交易。
The Kings are willing to give up their eighth overall pick in this year's NBA
draft and a combination of players for Love, even though he would not be
expected to sign a contract extension before next season – if ever, with the
rebuilding, small-market franchise, the source said. Sacramento envisions
Love and DeMarcus Cousins playing alongside each other in the front court.
Swingman Rudy Gay has a player's option for next season.
该线报还宣称，国王打算送出今年的第八顺位选秀权以及一些球员作为交易的筹码，即便
Love不愿对球队做出任何在未来续留的承诺，国王还是希望能凑成Love和Cousins的前场
组合，下一季Rudy Gay的合约有球员选项。
The Kings know they'd have to gamble on convincing Love to re-sign, given
that the franchise is rebuilding and Love is looking to play for a contender
after never reaching the playoffs with the Timberwolves. Love's suitors also
figure to include a number of bigger markets, including the Boston Celtics,
Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets
and Chicago Bulls.
国王也知道要说服Love续留是一场赌博，追求Love的不乏一些拥有大市场的球队，像是
塞尔提克、湖人、尼克、勇士、火箭和公牛。
Love's representatives with Excel Sports have pushed Timberwolves president
Flip Saunders to find an acceptable trade prior to the start of free agency
in July. Without a trade, Love plans to opt out of his contract in the summer
of 2015 and likely leave Minnesota as a free agent.
Love的经纪团队已经向灰狼总管Flip Saunders施压，希望在七月的自由市场开始前就能
找到一个可以接受的交易方案。如果没有交易的话，Love就计划到2015年的夏天就走完他
的合约，然后离开灰狼成为一名自由球员。
The Kings showed in their first season under new owner Vivek Ranadive and
general manager Pete D'Alessandro they are willing to spend money. They
acquired Gay and signed Cousins to a four-year, $62 million extension.
国王在新任老板Vivek Ranadive和总管Pete D'Alessandro的领导下展现新的风貌，
他们愿意砸钱投资球队，他们交易来Gay并和Cousins签了一份4年6200万的延长合约。
Sacramento struggled to a 28-54 record last season and missed the playoffs
for the eighth straight season. The Kings expect to begin playing in a new
downtown Sacramento arena in 2016.
国王上赛季还在28胜54负的泥淖里挣扎，连续八季无缘季后赛。国王期望2016年搬迁
新球馆后能有一个新的开始。
