Ryen Russillo Suggests OKC Should Trade Russell Westbrook For Lonzo Ball
By Nico Martinez - April 29, 2019 - In NBA Trade Rumors
The Lakers and Thunder are two teams in need of some serious roster changes
this summer. There are a number of options as to what that might look like,
but in an appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Ryen Russillo of ESPN
discussed the possibility of Thunder General Manager Sam Presti trading their
franchise star Russell Westbrook to the Lakers.
湖人 & 雷霆是今年夏天极需整顿球队阵容的两支队伍，
关于如何整顿球队可以有很多选项。
在Bill Simmons的播客节目上，ESPN记者Ryen Russillo就建议，
雷霆总经理Sam Presti应该将当家球星Russell Westbrook交易到湖人。
“What’s the point in OKC? What’s the point of bringing everyone back and
having Westbrook as the ring-leader? I understand what he means to Thunder
fans. You lost two MVPs and this MVP took your money and wanted to stay home.
He decided to stay. But you lost to one rookie scorer in the playoffs last
year. Oklahoma City is held hostage to Westbrook in a way that I haven’t
seen since Iverson was with the Sixers.”
Ryen Russillo表示：
“现在的OKC还有什么意义吗？将所有人找齐然后以Westbrook为核心还有意义吗？
我知道Westbrook对雷霆球迷所代表的意义，
可他们已经为此失去了两个MVP了(KD & Harden)，最后这个MVP虽然拿了钱留了下来，
但去年却输给一名新秀得分手(Donovan Mitchell)所带领的球队。
自从Allen Iverson和七六人之后，雷霆是另一支被球星绑架的球队。
It seems a Westbrook/George partnership is destined to fail. But a trade for
Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball might bode well for their future. It would also
open up cap space for the team to sign another superstar in free agency.
目前看来， Westbrook & Paul George的合作关系注定以失败收场，
但如果能将Kyle Kuzma & Lonzo Ball交易过来或许对他们的未来很有利，
还能省下球队薪资空间以便在自由市场上签下另一名超级巨星。
Meanwhile, for the Lakers, Westbrook would partner with LeBron, forming an
athletic and lethal one-two punch.
与此同时，Westbrook去湖人与LeBron联手，组成有运动力且可怕的双巨头。
In theory, it could benefit both teams, but it remains a long-shot.
理论上对两支球队皆有好处，但可能是个很长远的目标。
