Bucks owner Marc Lasry boasts about team’s lack of drama
公鹿老板Marc Lasry夸耀说他们队上没有抓马
The Bucks won a lot last season while managing four starters on expiring
contracts. Milwaukee extended Eric Bledsoe, re-signed Khris Middleton and
Brook Lopez and let Malcolm Brogdon go. The Bucks are still rolling.
公鹿上季赢了不少的比赛，而同时间他们也把先发四人即将到期合约给处理好。他们延长
了Eric Bledsoe的合约，续签Khris Middleton跟Brook Lopez，然后跟Malcolm Brogdon掰
掰。而目前的公鹿仍然稳健前行。
Yet, even more pressure looms. Milwaukee has a great championship chance this
season. Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is heading toward his super-max
decision.
不过，更大的压力才要来。公鹿本季很有机会可以拿下总冠，超级明星字母哥Giannis
Antetokounmpo将会要决定他是不是可以拿超级顶薪约。
Bucks owner Marc Lasry, via Sam Amick of The Athletic:
"People want issues, and we don’t have any issues. And you know what, we didn
’t have any issues last year either. If you think about it, we had four free
agents (from last season). You had Khris Middleton (who signed a five-year,
$178 million deal in late June), you had (Eric) Bledsoe (who signed a
four-year, $70 million extension in March), you had Brook Lopez (who signed a
four-year, $52 million deal in July), and then you had Malcolm (Brogdon, who
was a restricted free agent but went to the Pacers on a four-year, $85
million deal via sign-and-trade with the Bucks). And you know, we re-signed
who we needed to re-sign. So I think the great thing about the Bucks, good or
bad, is that there’s very little drama. And I think we have surprised people
with the lack of drama, and how good we are."
根据The Athletic记者Sam Amick报导，Marc Lasry说：
“大家喜欢炒话题，但是我们没有话题可炒。你知道吗，去年我们也没有话题。想想看，
我们上个赛季会有4个FA，有Khris Middleton(六月底签下五年1亿7800万镁的约)，Eric
Bledsoe(三月的时候就签了四年7000万镁的延长合约)，Brook Lopez(七月签下四年5200万
镁的合约)跟Malcolm Brogdon(本来是受限FA，但是在先签后换后去了溜马，四年8500万
镁)。所以，我们签下了我们认为需要再签的人，我认为那是我们公鹿棒的地方，不管是好
是坏，我们没有什么抓马。我认为，公鹿没有抓马以及我们优异的表现让许多人惊讶。”
Lasry is right. The Bucks have done a great job avoiding drama.
Lasry是对的，公鹿在避免抓马发生上做的很棒。
Some of that is organizational culture. Some of that is Milwaukee being in a
small market. Some of that is how new the Bucks are to the spotlight.
有些是因为球队文化的关系，有些则是因为公鹿是小市场球队，有些则是因为公鹿才刚被
大家开始注意到。
That last factor will wear out as Milwaukee contends for a title and
Antetokounmpo nears his super-max decision. Even last season, tension began
to emerge around Antetokounmpo as the Bucks lost in the Eastern Conference
finals.
最后这个因素会随着公鹿开始展现冠军队伍的样子以及字母哥越来越接近决定是不是要拿
超级顶薪而越来越不重要；在上个赛季，当公鹿在东冠输给暴龙后，球团跟字母哥之间的
紧张度就开始慢慢浮现了。
But Milwaukee won’t suddenly become a bigger market. If Antetokounmpo stays,
the Bucks can maintain organizational stability.
但是公鹿不会一瞬间就变成大市场球队。若是字母哥留在公鹿，公鹿球队稳定度就会持
续。
This all works out to help the Bucks retain Antetokounmpo, who has stated an
aversion to big-market drama.
这一切都会帮助公鹿留住字母哥，因为他之前就已经表示过不想碰触大市场球队的抓马。
