The NBA and National Basketball Players Association are struggling to reach
an agreement on lowering the age limit to 18, differing on the league's
desire to attach two conditions to ending the one-and-done NBA draft era,
league sources told ESPN.
联盟正与球员工会商讨是否将选秀年龄降低至18岁，不过仍未达成共识。
且联盟希望一举透过修改两个规则来终结大学过水一年(O&D)的选秀世代。
Commissioner Adam Silver is pressing NBPA executive director Michele Roberts
to require that player agents furnish all teams with medical information on
prospective draft prospects, league sources said. The league also wants to
mandate players attendance and some level of participation in the pre-draft
combine, sources said.
Silver对球员工会执行董事Michael Roberts施压，
要求待选新秀的经纪人能提供“全部球队”该新秀的医疗资讯。
联盟也想要求待选新秀能出席，并参与一定程度的选前试训。
The NBA still hopes to reach an agreement with the NBPA and allow graduating
high school seniors to enter the league starting with the 2022 draft.
联盟依然希望与工会达成协议，允许高中毕业生能参加2022年选秀会
The league and union must collectively bargain any changes to a CBA that was
ratified in 2016.
"We're investing millions of dollars into players who we'll now have even
less information about coming out of high school, and we should have the
right to have all the information available on who we are selecting," one
general manager told ESPN.
一个GM告诉ESPN，他们正投资了几百万，在这些资讯很少，但即将从高中毕业的新秀
所以我们必须拥有获取这些所选择的新秀资讯的权利。
The union has felt significant pressure from the agent community to resist
the NBA's push on ceding control of medical information, sources said. While
the NBPA has long advocated the lowering of the age limit to 18, so far the
union has shown no inclination to surrender on these issues without minimally
a give-back elsewhere from the NBA.
球员工会拒绝NBA提出的健检报告要求。
但工会长久以来都有在提倡，将选秀年龄限制降低至18岁，
不过目前工会没有妥协的迹象，除非联盟给予一定程度的退让。
Agents have long used the leverage of withholding medical information from
teams to try and steer players to preferred draft destinations. While it's a
strategy that doesn't always render the desired results on draft night, the
absence of that medical data creates greater uncertainty and risk for front
offices tasked with making personnel decisions on young players. NBA general
managers have pushed the league office to legislate the sharing of medical
information with all teams, especially with the anticipation of younger
players forcing organizations to make draft evaluations on teenagers.
Because ultimately teams can draft whomever they want, and first-round picks
can be under contractual control for six seasons prior to free agency,
medical information is a freedom that agents consider necessary to keeping
some influence on their client's early career.
这段懒得翻，大意是经纪人长期以来一直透过医疗资讯做操作
所以GM希望经纪人能提供所有球队透明的体检报告。
"Some organizations are run better than others," one prominent agent told
ESPN. "A lot of success comes from a player getting into the right situation
at the right time. If I can do something that influences that, why would I
give that up?"
“有些球队确实经营得比其他球队好。”一位知名经纪人说：
“很多球员的成功其实是因为在对的时间，处在对的环境。
如果我能有东西(体检报告)影响这件事(球队环境)，那我为何要放弃？”
"I understand why the league wants this. I get that it's not fair across the
board to teams, but I don't work for the teams. I work for the players. When
it's all said and done, and my player doesn't have as good of a career as he
could've had, because, in part, of the coaching, the environment, the kinds
of teammates that surrounded him, will the NBA put a contribution together to
help him? No, they're moving on. I'm not trying to embarrass any teams, but
I'm going to do everything I can to give my players every chance for success."
While there are still instances of agents pushing for players to land in
major markets on draft night, the ability for top talent to land significant
exposure and endorsements in smaller markets has made many representatives
prioritize their players landing in stable, well-run franchises over
geographic destinations.
Out of the 65 players invited to the draft combine in 2018, 11 declined to
submit to the league-wide physical that's ultimately distributed to
interested teams. Agents are allowed to select particular organizations to
examine their players, or they can provide those teams whatever medical
information that they chose to share.
2018选秀试训被邀请的65个球员中，有11位拒绝提供给联盟健检报告，
最终影响了球队的兴趣。 (最明显的就MPJ了，拖到最后一刻才肯给报告)。
The NBA isn't necessarily pushing for every team to have direct access to
independently examine a player, they do want a mechanism where teams can
minimally get pool doctor reports shared among several organizations, league
sources said.
联盟不一定会要求每支球队都有直接获取球员体检报告的机会(独立健检)
而是希望能有个机制，让所有球队能最小化接受到烂医生体健报告的风险。
"We aren't looking for a team at the end of the first round to have direct
access to a lottery pick," one league official said.
The NBA negotiated the high school players out of the draft in the 2005
collective bargaining agreement. Under Silver, the NBA has changed course on
its thinking considering early entry. The NBA prefers to wait until 2022 to
make sure that teams have time to properly plan on several levels, including
the trading and acquisition of future picks.
前半段讲古，懒得翻。
NBA倾向等到2022年才改制，来确保球队有足够的时间来准备各种等级球员的计画。
包含交易和选秀权的获得。
Phoenix traded the rights to Miami's unprotected 2021 first-round pick to
Philadelphia in June, and the moving of that valued pick played some part in
pushing back the proposed rule change to 2022, league sources said.
Those teams made decisions without the benefit of knowing the timetable on a c
hange
in the age limit. The first crop of high school seniors will be deeper in
talent than those that come immediately before and after it.
太阳今年于选秀会上交易2021年热火首轮给七六人，
这件事情某种程度延后了规则的制定(补充：原先联盟是计画21年修改，后来改成22年)
The NBA is also tying 2022 to a class of current American high school
freshmen who'll have access to USA Basketball's Junior National program as a
part of a broader initiative to develop and educate top prospects on their
pathway to the pros.
The NBA tried to negotiate the medical information mandates and combine
participation into past CBAs, but were unsuccessful. The union is rejecting
the NBA's premise that an agreement on lowering the age limit should be
attached to these mandates, and it found the NBA showed no interest in
bargaining those issues against the elimination of team-friendly rules like
restricted free agency or the moratorium signing period in July, sources said.
联盟在过去的劳资协议中，试图与工会协商医疗资讯+要求参加试训，但没成功
工会希望把降低年龄规则也加进去，但联盟比较在意RFA、冻结期等规则的修改。
Privately, the NBA and NBPA say there's far more room to negotiate on
attendance and participation at the draft combine. For example, the league
isn't seeking a hardline where potential lottery picks must participate in
5-on-5 games, but it would like to find ways for everyone to take part in
interview sessions with front offices, measurements, athletic testing and
media availabilities, sources said.
Talks have been ongoing and are expected to continue soon, league sources
said. For now, there remains a final hurdle to the formal ending of the
one-and-done era.
NBA与工会的协商已经展开，而且预期很快就会继续开始会谈
