The notion that free agents haven’t been willing to come to the Lakers in
recent seasons because they don’t want to play with Kobe Bryant was brought
up near the beginning of the season, but has been refuted by plenty of star
players since.
接近本赛季开打时,有人提出自由球员不愿意来湖人, 是因为他们不想与Kobe打球, 但这项
说法被许多球星驳斥.
Bryant has one year remaining on his contract, and though he’s expected to
be healthy at the beginning of next season, no one can predict how long that
will last. Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak said that Bryant hasn’t indicated that he
will play beyond next season, but also mentioned that if Bryant’s presence
is seen as a deterrent by free agents considering Los Angeles, then he doesn’
t want them, and they should go play somewhere else.
Kobe离合约结束还有一年, 虽然在下一季开始时他是健康的, 但没有人能预测这能持续
多久. 湖人GM Mitch Kupchak说, Kobe没表明下一季结束后会继续打, 但他也提到,假如
Kobe的存在会阻碍自由球员考虑加盟湖人, 那他不需要这些球员, 他们该去别的地方.

“I think it is clear,” Kupchak said. “He’s on the last year of his deal.
There have been no discussions [about playing beyond next season]. He hasn’t
indicated that he wants to continue to play.
“But if there is a player out there like that, that won’t come here for
that reason, then we don’t want them. Every great player is demanding and
focused, and if you don’t want to play for a guy like him that’s driven to
do nothing but win championships and work hard, then you shouldn’t be here.
You should go someplace else.”
"我想这很清楚了," Kupchak说. "他现在在合约的最后一年. 目前没有关于他再打一季的
讨论. 他没有表态他还想继续打球."
"假如有球员因为Kobe存在而有所考虑, 那我们不需要他们. 每个伟大的球员都很专注,
而且要求很多, 他什么都不想但只想着总冠军, 假如你不想为像他那样的人打球, 那你
不该出现在这里. 你该去其他地方."
