Jimmy Butler Rumors: Execs Think SG Takes Free-Agent Meetings Amid 76ers Drama
Jimmy Butler乳摸: 联盟球团高层认为Butlter会招开FA会议
A report from Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN on Friday
indicated there is some tension between Philadelphia 76ers wing Jimmy Butler
and head coach Brett Brown behind the scenes, namely regarding Butler's
offensive role.
星期五Ramona Shelburne跟沃神在ESPN上报导，目前在76人里，Jimmy Butler跟总教练
Brett Brown存在着紧张关系，主要是有关Butler的进攻角色。
That calls into question whether Butler, whom the Minnesota Timberwolves
traded to the 76ers earlier this season, will stay in Philadelphia long term.
He has a player option for 2019-20 but can opt out of his deal after this
season.
这招来了一些疑问：Jimmy Butler这位在季初从灰狼交易来的球员，会不会有在76人长期
待下来的打算呢? 他在2019-20球季有球员选择权，但是他可以在这一季结束就选择跳出合
约。
Shelburne and Wojnarowski offered takes from other teams regarding Butler's
future, in addition to providing additional comments: "Rival teams believe
Butler will eventually decide to take meetings with interested suitors in
July. Butler's preference has been to sign a more lucrative deal to remain
with the Sixers, but it's clear that there are issues to be worked out before
that comfort level fully exists."
Shelburn跟沃神除了提到之前Butler跟教练的紧张关系外，也同时提到了其他球队有关
Butler的未来：“其他敌队认为Butler在七月的时候最终会决定与有兴趣的队伍召开FA会
议。Butler本来是比较想要跟76人签约，拿一份肥约；但是目前很明显的，要达到舒适圈
的环境，还有一些问题得要解决。”
The 29-year-old is averaging 18.0 points on 46.2 percent shooting in 21 games
for the 25-14 76ers, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference.
29岁的Butler为76人出场21场比赛，场均18.0，命中率46.2趴，76人战绩25-14，东区第
四。
The 76ers have gone 15-6 with him on the floor (and just 10-8 without), so
it's not as if his presence is putting the team's season on the brink.
76人在他在场上的时候战绩是15-6(没有他的时候是10-8)，所以他在76人打球不会就是让
76人球季在淘汰边缘。
However, Butler went from the Chicago Bulls' franchise player to
second-fiddle to Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota. Now his footing in the
Philadelphia offense is even further from No. 1, as two 76ers score more
points per game (Joel Embiid and JJ Redick) while point guard Ben Simmons
runs the offense.
然而，Butler从本来是公牛基石球员跑到灰狼去当Karl-Anthony Towns的副手。然后他跑
到76人，离球队第一位置更远，因为其他两名76人比他更会得分(Joel Embiid跟JJ
Redick)，还有控卫Ben Simmons主导进攻。
That could naturally cause some frustration, but Shelburne and Wojnarowski
also provided some insight on offensive specifics:
那自然会产生一些挫折感，但是Shelburne跟沃神对于进攻细节提供了一些内幕：
"Butler has expressed a desire to teammates that he hopes to play in more
traditional pick-and-roll and isolation sets, rather than trying to find his
place in the Sixers' free-flowing offense, league sources said. In searching
for answers, Butler has met privately with Brown and his coaching staff, as
well as general manager Elton Brand, league sources told ESPN."
“消息来源说，Butler跟队友们表示他想要打更多传统的挡拆跟单打，而不是在76人自由
流动的攻击中寻找他的位置。为了找到解答，他跟教练Brown跟教练团，以及总管Elton
Brand私下有会谈。”
Butler's issue is that this team is being built around Simmons and Embiid,
two prized first-round picks who are 22 and 24 years old, respectively.
Embiid is signed through 2023, while Simmons is signed through 2020 (he's a
restricted free agent after that season).
Butler的问题是76人球队是围绕着Simmons跟Embiid打造出来的，两位是首轮选到的球员，
22及24岁。Embiid的约是到2023年，Simmons是到2020(在那之后是受限FA)。
Brown and general manager Elton Brand are going to build around those two and
do what they think is best, especially if Butler could hypothetically skip
town after this season.
Brown跟总管Elton Brand是以这两位为主打造球队，做认为对这球队最好的事，尤其若
Butler有可能在这季结束就离开76人。
Still, any tension behind the scenes could be much ado about nothing...for
now. The 76ers are right in the thick of the Eastern Conference race and sit
just 2.5 games back of Milwaukee for the No. 1 seed. Butler's tenure with the
team isn't even two months old, and when he's at his best, he's one of the
game's greatest two-way players.
然而，任何在场下的紧张关系可能只是空穴来风...那只是现在。76人现在在东区大混战
中，只落后第一名的公鹿2.5场胜差，虽然Butler到76人还不到两个月，但是当他在他最佳
状态时，他会是联盟里几位最佳攻守兼备的球员之一。
If more drama is reported later in the year and the 76ers are sliding,
however, then the alarm bells can be rung.
若是在球季末又有些抓马被爆出来而76人的战绩下滑的话，警报声就要响起了。
