Rockets Trade Rumors: HOU Has 'Serious Interest' in T-Wolves' Robert Covington
火箭交易乳摸：休士顿火箭对灰狼的Robert Covington有强烈兴趣。
The Houston Rockets reportedly have "serious interest" in acquiring Robert Cov
ington from the Minnesota Timberwolves as they look to improve their roster fo
r a deep playoff run.
据报导，休士顿火箭队对从灰狼那里得到Robert Covington“非常有兴趣”，因为他们想
要提升阵容的深度，让他们能在季后赛走的更远。
Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer reported the Rockets' interest, though he noted M
innesota's desire to move Covington is unclear. Covington is considered a cove
ted trade chip because of his three-and-D skills and manageable salary (two ye
ars, $25 million remaining after 2019-20).
The Ringer的Kevin O'Connor报导了火箭(对此交易)的兴趣，但他指出，目前并不清楚灰
狼是否想把Covington送走。Covington被认为是一个令人垂涎的交易筹码，因为他具备3
分、防守的技巧，以及好操作的薪资(2019-20赛季后，还剩2年2500万的合约)。
While his deal is considered a value around the league, it's hard to find an a
venue in which the Rockets can finagle a trade. Barring an unlikely trade of P
.J. Tucker, their best defender and a beloved locker room presence, the Rocket
s' best salary match is Eric Gordon.
他的交易在联盟中被认为是有价值的，对火箭来说，很难找到一个可以“欺骗完成交易”
的方法。除了他们最好的防守球员、最受欢迎的更衣室球员P.J. Tucker不太可能被交易
以外，火箭队最好的薪水匹配球员是Eric Gordon。
It seems highly unlikely the Timberwolves would be interested in adding Gordon
, given the four-year, $75 million contract extension he signed over the summe
r. Gordon has dealt with injuries throughout the season and is playing the wor
st basketball of his career when he's in the lineup, though he's only played i
n nine games this season.
考虑到Gordon今年夏天提前续约所签的4年7500万美元合约，灰狼似乎对得到他并不感兴
趣。Gordon今年一直与伤病搏斗，本季他在场的表现是生涯最糟糕的，他这赛季也只打了
9场比赛。
The Timberwolves may also be hesitant to move Covington because they're in con
tention for a playoff spot. Minnesota enters Tuesday just one game back of the
eighth seed in the Western Conference.
灰狼可能还在犹豫是否要换掉Covington，因为他们正在争夺季后赛的名次。明尼苏达灰
狼在周二时，仅仅落后西区第8种子一场胜差。
If Covington is ultimately moved, it likely won't happen until late January or
early February when the playoff picture is coalescing.
如果Covington最终被送走，那可能要到明年1月底或2月初，季后赛的形势才会明朗。
心得：类似以前Trevor Ariza扮演的角色？
