Report: Clippers inquired about James Harden, Bradley Beal before trading for
Paul George
快艇在交易Paul George前 有先探询过James Harden跟Bradley Beal
The LA Clippers searched for different potential partners for Kawhi Leonard
before sealing the deal to sign him. They analyzed and studied every roster
and star player in the league, hoping to find the best potential fit to play
next to Leonard, both on the court and personality-wise.
快艇在与Kawhi Leonard达成最后协议签约前，曾经探询过几个现役的可能对象。他们分析
现今球界里的所有先发明星球员，希望找到一个在场上以及个性上可以跟Leonard最为匹配
的球员。
According to The Athletic, the Clippers inquired about Washington Wizards
guard Bradley Beal and Houston Rockets star James Harden before landing on
Paul George, as neither of the two aforementioned were available for trade.
根据The Athletic的报导，在拿到Paul George之前，快艇有跟巫师探询过后卫Bradley
Beal以及火箭明星James Harden，这两位在之前都没有说有被交易的可能性。
Leonard also had interest to pair himself among another fierce competitor in
Jimmy Butler, but the two-way standout was already eyeing the Miami Heat.
Leonard also called Kevin Durant about teaming up in Los Angeles, but Durant
already had plans to team up with Kyrie Irving with the Brooklyn Nets.
Leonard也有兴趣跟另外一位很有竞争性的球员Jimmy Butler一起打球，不过Butler早已经
把眼光对准了热火。Leonard也曾经打电话给KD，问他要不要一起在LA打球，不过KD也早有
计画要跟Kyrie Irving到篮网。
At this point, Paul George requested a trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder,
which only opened the doors for this superstar pairing in their hometown of
Los Angeles.
而在那个时刻，Paul George跟雷霆球团喊出了吹密，这也让这两个超级组合到他们家乡打
球开启了可能性。
George and Leonard wouldn’t join the Los Angeles Lakers in the quest of a
superteam, but rather duel them as their own duo across the hall, setting up
an immediate rivalry in the same building and a battle NBA fans will be
witness to in four regular-season meetings in 2019-20, along with the
potential of meeting in the playoffs.
PG跟Leonard没有加入湖人组宇宙团，反而是到了洛杉矶的另外一支球队，这也马上让湖人
快艇立即成为死对头，他们会共用场馆，这两队在2019-20赛季会有四次碰面，更有可能会
在西区季后赛碰头。
The two-way stars complement each other swiftly on paper — both reserved but
killers on the court — boasting a lot of similar traits and a passion for
defense that is hard to find in today’s NBA.
这两位球员理论上是相辅相成的
