Paul George Says Free-Agency Discussion with Kawhi Leonard Is 'Between Us'
Paul George说跟与Kawhi Leonard讨论FA的内容只"限于他们两个知道"
Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard can opt out of his contract and hit free
agency this summer. Apparently, he reached out to a peer who was in a similar
situation last year to get his insight.
多伦多暴龙明星Kawhi Leonard在今年夏天可以选择跳出合约，成为FA。很显然地，他找了
另外一个之前有过跟他情况类似的球员，想听一下他的意见。
Oklahoma City Thunder star Paul George said Friday he had spoken with
Leonard. George declined to elaborate on what was said, telling reporters,
"That's between us," per TSN's Josh Lewenberg.
根据TSN记者Josh Lewenberg，Paul George星期五的时候说他有跟Leonard聊过，但是
George拒绝透露详细的内容，跟记者说，“那只限于我跟他两个知道。”
Nobody can say George was guilty of tampering because the Thunder have almost
no shot of landing Leonard in free agency. Oklahoma City is set to be almost
$39.6 million over the salary cap, so it won't be making any big moves over
the summer.
没有人可以说George有违规招募的嫌疑，因为雷霆今年夏天几乎是没机会得到Leonard的。
雷霆目前超过薪资帽3960万镁，所以今年夏天是不会作什么大动作的。
Leonard couldn't have looked toward a better confidant since George was
essentially in the same shoes.
因为George之前几乎跟Leonard现在是一模一样的状况，George对Leonard来说是不二人
选。
The Thunder acquired him in a trade from the Indiana Pacers when he was a
year away from free agency. Many wondered if George would effectively be a
one-year rental for OKC before he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Instead, he stayed with the Thunder, signing a four-year, $136.9 million
extension.
雷霆是在PG跟溜马合约还有一年成为FA之前交易过来的，那时很多人怀疑雷霆这样的一年
"租约"，之后他可能跟湖人签约的状况下，会不会在雷霆有有效率的表现。然而，他在那
之后选择留下，续了4年1亿3690万的约。
George told Bleacher Report's Master Tesfatsion he had envisioned going to
Los Angeles at one time but discovered he felt comfortable in Oklahoma City
and wanted to remain there.
George跟BR记者说他曾经有认为自己会去湖人，但是后来发现在雷霆更舒适，决定留在雷
霆。
Perhaps that's the message he conveyed to Leonard.
或许那也可能是他跟Leonard讲的内容。
Like George, Leonard is a native of Southern California, and Sporting News'
Sean Deveney reported the Los Angeles Clippers have "confidence that they
could lure Leonard into the blue-and-red next summer."
就跟George一样，Leonard也是出身南加州，而根据Sporting News记者Sean Deveney报
导，快艇"很有信心，会在今年夏天把Leonard带到快艇"。
The Clippers are projected to have almost $59.7 million in cap space, which
is more than enough to give Leonard a max deal and potentially add another
marquee free agent as well.
快艇预计会有5970万镁的薪资空间，足够给Leonard顶约外，还有一些空间可以找其他不错
的FA。
But Leonard may be enjoying Toronto more than he imagined when he first
arrived from the San Antonio Spurs. Let's not forgot ESPN.com's Chris Haynes
reported last July the two-time Defensive Player of the Year had "no desire"
to play for the Raptors.
但是，Leonard现在可能比他之前刚被交易到暴龙前所预想的还要喜欢多伦多。不要忘了
ESPN记者Chris Haynes去年七月报导，这两届年度防守球员曾说"没有意愿为暴龙打球"。
If Leonard ends up spurning a Los Angeles franchise just as George did,
Raptors fans may owe a debt of gratitude to a player they once considered a
conference rival.
如果Leonard最后就跟George一样也没加入洛杉矶的球队的话，暴龙粉可能要感激一下这一
度被他们视为分区敌人的George了。
