The 5 NBA Trade Candidates Who Have to Move Before the Offseason Ends
5个可能被交易的球员。
Let's not waste time beating around the bush: Certain NBA trade candidates just
need to go.
别浪费时间了旁敲侧击了，有些球员必须走人。
Like, right now.
Patience is the operative word when it comes to brokering trades, especially
during the offseason, when the Association's February trade deadline is more
than six months away. Teams looking to offload assets aren't wont to rush into
any big decisions when given such an extensive timeline.But some players shoul
d be shipped out earlier, before the regular season even starts.
有些球员在开季前就应该被交易掉。
Most of the time these are players who have been married to the rumor mill in
recent months. Other times, it's a matter of logistics. Player X is being loose
ly linked to the gossip factory and doesn't fit his team's style of play anymor
e.
这些球员大多身受乳摸缠身或逻辑上就该被交易
In one particular instance, a trade candidate needs to be moved before the 2015
-16 campaign, otherwise there's little to no value in moving him at all.
其中一个球员必须被交易，否则等到开季后再交易时，会没有价值了。
The important thing to remember: There must be a reason why forthcoming names
shouldn't start next season on their current team.
记住，以下出现名子的球员一定有下季不该存在原球队的原因。
With that we step into the speculation salt mines. Hard hats are optional but
strongly recommended.
以下是我们的推测
1.Jamal Crawford / Clippers
http://imgur.com/kEvHQJa
Re-signing DeAndre Jordan shouldn't stop the Los Angeles Clippers from finding
a new home for two-time Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford.
Alex Kennedyof Basketball Insiders first reported that the 35-year-old combo
guard was available. But that was way back when Jordan was committed-but-not-re
ally-committed to the Dallas Mavericks. The Clippers no longer have to feverish
ly search the trade market for a big man.
签回DAJ并没有使快艇停止寻找35岁，两届最佳第六人Crawford的新东家。
Still, league executives think Crawford can be pried out of Los Angeles, accord
ing to theAkron Beacon Journal's Jason Lloyd. And that makes sense.
When all is said and done, the Clippers will flirt with $95 million in salary
commitments for 2015-16, most likely putting them more than $10 million above
the league's $84.7 million luxury-tax line. Dumping Crawford's $5.7 million
pact would save them a boatload in penalties.
快艇明年薪资将达到95M，将会超过豪华税标准84.7M将近10M，丢弃
Crawford的5.7M将会节省很多。
Say the Clippers are $10 million above the luxury threshold. They would owe
nearly $16.3 million in taxes, per the information provided by Larry Coon's
CBA FAQ. Shedding Crawford's expiring deal would pin them to a new tax bracket,
cutting their bill by more than 60 percent, assuming they don't take back any
salary in return.
假设交易Crawford且没有拿回任何薪资球员将会节省60%的应付费用。
Tack that discount on to Crawford's actual salary and moving him could, in theo
ry, save the Clippers more than $15 million.
计算一下，将会帮快艇节省超过15M。
Though he provides an instant scoring punch off of the bench, Crawford isn't
worth that kind of coin. Not even to the Clippers.
即使他拥有板凳暴徒的能力，他还是不值那么多钱，即使是快艇队。
Especially when they have two other guards set to come off the bench in Austin
Rivers and Lance Stephenson.
尤其他们板凳有另外两位后卫，Austin Rivers和Lance Stephenson。
So even if they're not concerned with footing an exorbitant tax bill, it behoov
es the Clippers to see if they can use Crawford to fill another need—such as a
real backup for Chris Paul or Blake Griffin.
因此即使快艇不在乎豪华税，他们也会将Crawford交易寻求CP3和BG的替
补。
2.Taj Gibson / Bulls
http://imgur.com/Ci3qClc
No one's trolling your Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bulls fans.
Taj Gibson just doesn't fit the power forward mold under new head coach Fred
Hoiberg. He doesn't shoot threes, and while he can spend time jumping center,
the Bulls still have both Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah in their employ.
不是要冒犯公牛球迷，只是Taj不适合新教头Hoiberg，他不会丢三分，虽
然它可以打中锋，但是公牛已经有Gasol和Noah了。
Plus, Chicago is just plain stacked up front. Nikola Mirotic and Doug McDermott
should both see minutes at the 4, and rookie Bobby Portis is using the NBA Summ
er League to flash three-point range. He shot 3-of-4 from downtown in his debut
against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the memory of his 46.7 percent clip
(14-of-30) as a sophomore at Arkansas isn't yet six months old.
而且公牛前场拥挤，有Mirotic还有McDermott看来都会分担大前锋的时间
，还有新秀Portis可以射三分。
Hence why, back in May,Grantland'sZach Lowepegged Gibson as Chicago's frontcou
rt outcast. The Bulls don'tneed him. He's a commodity no doubt, but one who co
uld find himself chained to the bench for long stretches if Gasol and Noah sta
y healthy.
他是好球员没有疑问，但他会坐足板凳，如果Gasol和Noah保持健康。
Capitalizing on Gibson's market value as soon as possible becomes paramount if
the Bulls decide to move him. He's now on the wrong side of 30 and working off
of left ankle surgery. The longer the Bulls wait, the more likely they are to
compromise his stock by not playing him enough or watching him underachieve.
他30岁了且正动左脚踝手术，公牛等的越久，也许他的价值会越低。
They have no such problems right now. Gibson is a contractual steal in the new
salary-cap climate. He's owed a super-reasonable $17.5 million through 2016-17
, and his rim protection is stingy enough to help anchor an entire defense.
Gibson有着十分合理的薪资2y/17.5M，而他保护篮筐的能力也是十分足够
Opponents shot just45.5 percentagainst Gibson at the iron last season, which
ranked in the 89th percentile of all players to face five such shots per game.
He fared better than even Jordan (48.5 percent), who earned All-Defensive First
Team honors.
他防守时，对手只有45.5%命中率，甚至比年度防守第一队的DAJ 48.5%还
要优秀。
Nabbing a first-rounder or another impact playerin exchange for Gibson won't be
an issue at this point. The Bulls could also try attaching Hinrich's $2.9 mill
ion salary to any deal in hopes of ducking the $84.7 million tax line while par
ting ways with a player they have no use for anymore.
现在换个首轮签或是球员不是大问题，公牛也可以试着附加Kirk Hinrich
的2.9M来满足豪华税限制，顺便和他们用不太到的球员分道扬镳。
Either way, it's best that the Bulls act swiftly, if only to maximize Gibson's
value andgive him the chance to play the prominent role they just can't offer.
对双方来说，越快交易越好，才能保持Gibson的价值以及给他在别队未来
有着不错的角色。
3. Brendan Haywood / Cavaliers
http://imgur.com/tEUEaSg
Brendan Haywood isn't just among the NBA trade candidates who need to be dealt
by offseason's end.
He headlines the list of players who need to be moved before July's conclusion.
黑雾算是被交易排行榜的首要球员。
Any team that acquires him before Aug. 2 has the option of waiving his non-gua
ranteed contract. That's a huge deal for squads looking to cut costs.
任何在8/2前得到他的球队可以waive掉他的非保障合约，对于想节省费用
的球队很诱人。
As a taxpaying team, the Cleveland Cavaliers can take back up to 125 percent,
plus $100,000, of their outgoing salary in any deal. That means they could abso
rb more than $13.2 million in commitments if they ship out Haywood on his own.
身为要付豪华税的骑士，若交易黑雾，骑士可以拿回125%加$100000。亦
即他们可以吸收超过13.2M。
But the ability to save interested suitors more than $10 million hasn't been
enough of a draw. Although the Cavaliers have been linked to Joe Johnson and
Crawford trades, according toMarc Steinof ESPN.com, nothing ever materialized.
骑士和Iso Joe以及Crawford传出乳摸，但始终没有达成交易。
And that Johnson scenario is now dead. It was always unclear whether the
Cavaliers would agree to move Anderson Varejao, LeBron James' buddy, to make
the salaries match. Now,per Stein, the Brooklyn Nets are no longer willing to
talk shop after parting ways with Deron Williams.
而Iso Joe的交易已经死了，骑士原犹豫要不要附加LBJ麻吉Varejao，但
篮网在和小胖分道扬镳后，已经停止了交易谈判。
Short on trade options, the Cavaliers could elect to reap the benefits of
Haywood's uniquely appetizing deal themselves. They're capped out beyond
comprehension on the heels of an offseason spending spree, and that's before
factoring in the still-developing futures of Matthew Dellavedova, J.R. Smith
and Tristan Thompson. Waiving Haywood would save owner Dan Gilbert some serious
coin.
缺乏交易对象，也许骑士在等Delly JR TT续约时，可以waive掉黑雾，
帮老板Dan Gilbert省点钱。
This presupposes that the Cavaliers are looking to save some serious coin. They
've shown a blatant disregard for tax penalties all summer, and so long as they
have James, they'll be in the market for good basketball players, no matter
the cost.
现在他们签下了LBJ，他们会在市场上找好球员，不计代价，像他们夏天以
来不理会豪华税的态度一样。
To that end, with rival teams refusing to bite on a blockbuster-ish salary dump
, Lloyd details another scenario that would be equally beneficial to Cleveland
：By trading Haywood to a team like the Philadelphia 76ers, who have made simil
ar moves with the Cavs recently, they can turn Haywood into a $10.5 million tr
ade exception to hold for another year as sort of an insurance policy in case
anyone is injured.
另一种情形，交易黑雾给像76人，他们可以将黑雾转换为10.5M的交易特例
保留到明年，当作若有人受伤的保险。
The Sixers would immediately release Haywood (or trade him again), not owe him
a dime, and probably gain a future second-round pick for the paperwork.
76人可能快速再度交易黑雾，不用付半毛钱，然后获得一个二轮签。
Exceptions north of $10 million are especially handy leading up to February's trade deadline. Teams have a better idea of where they're headed, and the seller's market is exponentially bigger. The Cavaliers could swoop in and stomach an unwanted contract from a lottery-bound squad looking to cut immediate costs or create extra wiggle room ahead of next summer's free-agency bonanza.
交易大限前会有更大的交易潜力，或等到明年薪资调涨来清出更大空间。
Or, in the case of the Sixers, they could just be hoping to build upon their c
ollection of second-round picks.
或者在76人的案例，也许76人会想要继续完成他的二轮签收集。
4.Ty Lawson / Nuggets
http://imgur.com/YavTCT0
Ty Lawson and the Denver Nuggets have been dancing around a divorce for some ti
me.
Sources told Lowe that Lawson wasn't untouchable ahead of last February's trade
deadline, and CBS Sports'Ken Bergerheard that he was available for the taking
leading up to this year's draft.
交易泰劳的传闻也已经有一段时间了。
Denver's decision to select fellow point guard Emmanuel Mudiay at No. 7 and re
-sign Jameer Nelson, per Stein, only complicates matters. Lawson, in fact, was
caught on video reacting to the Mudiay pick in real time.
His response, per theWashington Post'sDes Bieler:"I told you. I'm going to
Sacramento, bro."
当泰劳看到金块选到新秀控卫Emmanuel Mudiay和签回Jameer Nelson后，
泰劳认为自己将要去国王了。
Reuniting with Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl is almost assuredly out
of the question now. The Kings have Darren Collison and Rajon Rondo to run
point, so bringing in Lawson would be superfluous —and that's assuming the
y can even put together a package that catches Denver's attention.
和Karl教头重聚不错，可是国王已经有Darren Collison和Rajon Rondo，
泰劳会显得多余。而这还是建立在国王能提出吸引金块的筹码上。
Losing that Sacramento outlet doesn't make Lawson any less available, though.
The relationship between the Nuggets and their point guard is tenuous at best,
and they weren't happy with his unsettling draft-day visual.
"There's often times poor judgment used by all of our players," Nuggets general
manager Tim Connelly said of the video, per the Denver Post's Benjamin Hochman.
"It doesn't excite me."
Another driving-under-the-influence violation isn't going to excite the organi
zation either.
According to TMZ, the 27-year-old floor general "got busted for DUI in Los Ang
eles" on Monday night. The Nuggets confirmed they were aware of the incident,
via CBS Sports. It's Lawson's second DUI citation in less than six months, the
first one coming in January.
It's unclear how or even if his fast-plummeting off-court cachet will impact
his trade value. Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowskiwrites his market mystique
has "cratered," but he's still an asset on the hardwood.
尤其半年内发生第二次酒驾事件不知道会不会影响他的交易价值。
Undersized at 5'11", Lawson makes up for his defensive detriments with incisive
drives and superior court vision. Heranked fourth in assist percentage and
secondin assist opportunities last season and is owed a flexibility friendly
$25.6 million through 2016-17.
虽然身高只有5'11，泰劳运用犀利切入和绝佳是视野弥补防守的劣势，他
上季在助攻比率排名第4，助攻机会排名第2，而且下一季薪资是相当友善
2年25.6M。
Some team will still gladly add him to its roster. The Nuggets, given recent
events, are just now better off finding that team sooner rather than later.
相信有球队会很乐意接受泰劳的。而鉴于酒驾事件，金块最好快点交易他
5.Markieff Morris / Suns
http://imgur.com/6rTWltc
Markieff Morris and the Phoenix Suns are not the spitting image of a functional
business relationship.
Jordan Schultz of the Huffington Post is "hearing" that the Suns are ready to
deal their power forward because he can't make nice with head coach Jeff
Hornacek.
Morris和太阳队似乎只剩下合约关系，据传Morris和太阳总教练Jeff
Hornacek不合。
Oh, and Phoenix also traded his twin brother, Marcus, to the Detroit Pistons.
And if Markieff is even half as angry at the Suns as Marcus, the team has a pr
oblem.
而且太阳也把他兄弟Marcus交易去了活塞。
"Everybody knew how bad I wanted to play with my brother," he told reporters,
per the Detroit Free Press' Perry A.Farrell. "Phoenix knew. For them to trade
me without consent or telling me was like a slap in the face, because of the
contract I took from those guys and the money I took from them."
大家都知道我很想和我兄弟一起打球，他们没有告知就交易掉我，就像被
打了一个耳光的感觉。
No, Marcus isn't Markieff. But the latest developments don't bode well for the
Suns. They're still caught in the middle of rebuilding and trying to win now,
and the last thing they need is another player-brass feud.
太阳队在重建中挣扎，现在最不需要的就是和球员间的失和。
(Goran Dragic says "hi," by the way.)
顺道一提，Goran Dragic说Hi。
Now is the time to deal the remaining Morris brother. He just wrapped up a sea
son in which he posted career highs in points (15.3), rebounds (6.2) and assist
s (2.3) per game, and his annual salary won't exceed $8.6 million in any of the
next four campaigns.
而Morris上一季打出了生涯新高的15.3/6.2/2.3，他未来四年新水平均不
超过8.6M。
Signing Mirza Teletovic also renders him expendable insofar as the Suns no lon
ger need to demand another stretch 4 in return. Teletovic is one season remove
d from draining 39 percent of his long balls and allows the Suns to open trade
doors they otherwise wouldn't have been keen on exploring.
而签下Mirza Teletovic后更代表太阳不需要另外一个大后锋，Teletovic
有39%的远距投射命中率。
If things really are souring between Morris and the team, the Suns needn't wait
this situation out and risk it getting any worse. They should move Morris soo
n—as in immediately.
如果都是真的那么太阳不需要等到变糟，现在交易Morris会比较好。
