Jimmy Butler Says He Plans to Retire from the NBA Before He's 35 Years Old
Jimmy Butler说他计画在35岁前从NBA退休
Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler is still in his prime but doesn't plan
to remain in the NBA for too many more seasons.
费城76人后卫Jimmy Butler还在他的巅峰期，但是他没有计画要在NBA待太久。
After the 29-year-old was asked Tuesday about how his body would hold up at
35, he provided a somewhat surprising response.
星期二的时候，29岁的Butler被问到若是他35岁的时候，他的身体状况会如何? 他给了一
个让人惊讶的答案。
"I don't plan on playing this game when I'm 35 years old," Butler said, per
Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "So I'm not even worried about
that. I'll be done with this game before I'm 35."
“我没计画在35岁的时候我还在这里打球，”Butler说。“所以我没想到35岁的时候的身
体状况，我在35岁前就不会再继续打球了。”
Butler was also noncommittal about how long exactly he will play.
Butler对于他真的要打多久并没有讲的很明确。
"That's between me and whatever I tell myself later on," he added. "But, I'm
telling you right now, 35, I'm trying to be done before then."
“那要看之后我自己的评估，”他说。“但是，我现在可以跟你说的就是35岁，我会试着
在那之前就退休。”
This could create some interesting decisions as the four-time All-Star
potentially prepares for free agency this offseason.
这对于四届全明星在这季结束后FA要去哪里就创造出很多有趣的决定了。
As Pompey noted, Butler can sign a five-year, $190-million max contract with
the 76ers next summer, which would keep him under contract through his age-34
season.
据记者Pompey报导，Butler可以在下一季跟76人签下五年1亿9000万的顶薪约，那合约会跨
到他34岁。
Otherwise, the wing could either pick up his option for $19.8 million in
2019-20 or decline the option and hit free agency in the offseason.
不然的话，他也可以执行他的选择权，2019-20拿1980万镁；或者拒绝执行选择权，成为
FA，季后跳进市场。
In any case, his limited remaining playing time could factor into a team
giving him a long-term deal, especially if he believes his level of play will
diminish in his final seasons.
不管是哪种状况，他有限的打球时间将会让球队在考虑给他长约的时候有所考量，尤其他
认为他自己在他最后的几年打球程度会衰退的状况下。
Butler has played at a high level since being traded to Philadelphia,
averaging 18.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in 20 appearances, but his
future is suddenly a major question mark.
Butler在被交易到76人后表现持续高档，20场出赛，场均18.1分，4.6个篮板，但是他的未
来突然出现了一个大问号。
