Woj on Kevin Durant: 'I Think' Warriors 'Bracing for Possibly Seismic Change'
Woj：勇士要准备面临未来的可能的人事变动
https://reurl.cc/voEga
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said on Monday's episode of Get Up! that the Golden
State Warriors organization is preparing for "possibly seismic change" this
summer when Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson are free agents:
ESPN大神Woj周一在节目中表示，勇士队已经在着手因应今年夏天KD、KT成为自由球员时
的可能人事变动。
"Internally in Golden State, there's a sense of let's try to put aside what's
coming in July. We have a chance to do something very rare in sports, to
three-peat. Let's try to keep our focus there and win the title, then let
July play out the way it's going to. But I think the Warriors are bracing for
possibly seismic change within that organization."
“目前勇士内部的氛围就是让我们先不要管今年夏天会怎样，目前的先决目标是先完成运
动界很难的三连霸，全力聚焦在卫冕，夏天的事就顺其自然。但我觉得勇士已经在准备接
下来的大变动了。”
Durant's future has been the subject of widespread speculation throughout the
2018-19 season, at times even deeply impacting the Warriors locker room.
While the Warriors have held themselves together publicly after Draymond
Green's publicized spat with Durant in November, there has been an
overwhelming sentiment that these could be KD's final games in Golden State.
过去一整季大家都在猜测KD未来的动向，甚至影响到勇士更衣室的氛围。虽然当勇士在发
生11月嘴绿嘴KD的事件后依然公开保持团结，还是不可避免地被今年可能是KD在勇士的
最后一季的烦躁心情所缠绕。
The New York Knicks have been so regularly mentioned as a destination that
Durant criticized the media for its reporting in February. The Knicks will
have two maximum contract slots available and are expected to pursue Durant
and a second co-star, perhaps Kyrie Irving.
尼克一直被认为是KD未来的落角处，甚至让KD都对媒体动了肝火。因为尼克有两张顶薪的
空间可以游说KD和另一个二把手，可能是KI。
"I don't know if there's a lot of talking that has to happen between the
Warriors and Kevin Durant," Wojnarowski said. "I think he knows what it is,
what he wants, and there may be nothing the Warriors can do or say to change
that."
“我不知道众多关于勇士和KD的揣测是否会发生，但我知道KD自己知道是怎回事，他自己
要的是什么，勇士对于改变这些事情的发生，可能没有办法。”
Thompson is also a free agent, and Wojnarowski said his status is a matter of
money. If the Warriors offer Thompson a five-year, $190 max contract, it's
believed he will re-sign with the organization.
KT也将是个自由球员，Woj说他的事情简单说，就是跟钱有关。如果勇士提供个5年1亿9千
万的顶级合约，相信KT就会续签。
"If they come with a five-year, $190 million max deal for Klay Thompson,
that's done on July 1—he's going into the new building with Steph Curry,"
Wojnarowski said. "If they try to do anything less than that, you can expect
Klay Thompson to be out in free agency. Watch not for the Lakers, then, but
the Clippers."
“如果勇士用这样的顶新留住KT，他就会跟咖哩一起再盖座万丈高楼。如果勇士提供的比
这个少，我们可以预期KT就会成为自由球员，考虑湖人或是快艇。”
The Warriors will hand Durant any contract option he wants and hope he
re-signs. Durant has embraced the tech industry since being in the Bay Area,
and he famously toured the Chase Center in a construction outfit. It's
possible that Durant wants to be part of the contingent that opens up the
NBA's newest premier arena.
勇士会不计方法试图留住。在湾区时期，KD致力于投入科技产业(见延伸阅读)，也曾在勇
士新场馆施工时去参观过，KD很有可能想成为NBA最新最尖端的新场馆的份子之一。
However, Durant is also keenly aware of his standing in history and has a
sensitivity toward criticism. He's been the NBA's biggest villain since
joining a 73-win Warriors team in 2016. Even with all of his accomplishments
in Golden State—two championships, a pair of Finals MVPs, a series of
jaw-dropping playoff performances—there are some who believe Durant took the
easy way out.
然后，KD依然很重视大众对他的历史定位，自从加入73胜勇士后KD就是NBA最大的反派，就
算他拿了两个冠军、FMVP、季后赛的神级表现，还是有人觉得KD是在走捷径。
Leaving the Warriors and carving his own path, particularly reviving the
perpetually downtrodden Knicks, may be the only way to quell that criticism.
Couple that with business partner Rich Kleiman's longstanding Knicks fandom
and the potential to grow Durant's media empire in New York, and there are
plenty of reasons to believe there's fire to the smoke.
离开勇士去走自己的路，譬如加入挣扎已久的尼克可能是消弥这些杂音的唯一方式。KD的
生意伙伴Rich Kleimen长期以来就是尼克的球迷，他未来也可能在纽约发展他自己的媒体
帝国，把这些连在一起，不难想像这八字已经有了撇了。
The easiest path to winning, however, is to maintain the status quo in Golden
State.
但是对勇士来说，通往胜利最简单的路就是，保持现状。
