Knicks had no interest in Jimmy Butler during 2019 free agency, per report
尼克在2019年休赛季对Jimmy Butler没有兴趣
The 2019 offseason just gets worse and worse for the Knicks
尼克在2019年休赛季每况愈下
Just when you think the final chapter has been written in the comedy of
errors known as the 2019 Knicks offseason, another gut punch manages to sneak
its way into the script. Here's the latest: New York, after spending two
years clearing cap space to pursue superstars in free agency, was not
interested in Jimmy Butler last summer, according to the New York Post's Marc
Berman. Butler went on to sign with the Miami Heat, where he is now one game
away from the NBA Finals.
2019年的尼克修赛季已被认为是充满错误的笑话，但是最新消息是在伤口上撒盐，
有报导说尼克在花费两年清理空间后，去年对Jimmy Butler没有兴趣。
Butler去热火之后，目前只差一场胜利就能进入总决赛。
New York's dreadful 2019 offseason began in earnest at that season's trade
deadline. The Knicks dealt away young star Kristaps Porzingis in order to
clear the cap space necessary to sign two superstar free agents. The problem?
The two stars they were most connected to, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant,
chose to go across the bridge and sign with the Brooklyn Nets. The stories
since then have hardly been flattering.
尼克悲惨的2019年休赛季从交易截止日期开始，他们交易走Porzingis来清空间，
但是最有兴趣的KD和KI都跑去篮网，后面状况一路往下。
ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported immediately after Durant chose Brooklyn that
the Knicks were not willing to offer the former MVP a max contract because of
his ruptured Achilles tendon.
Soon after, Berman reported that the Knicks canceled a meeting with Kawhi
Leonard, who went on to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.
In August, 2020, Kemba Walker admitted that he was initially very interested
in signing with the Knicks, but that interest dissipated when a star teammate
failed to materialize.
报导称KD去篮网是因为尼克不愿意给顶薪。
尼克接着取消可爱的会谈，后者跑去快艇。
Kemba Walker今年八月说去年有兴趣到尼克，但是尼克找不到另一个明星所以作罢。
Some of these reports sound more realistic than others. The idea that the
Knicks truly wouldn't have given Durant a max contract, for example, seems
like PR spin. If it wasn't, it was organizational negligence on a scale that
would be hard to believe even by Knicks standards. There are some slight
similarities with Butler. Yes, there were risks. His departures from
Minnesota and Philadelphia were ugly. But it's not as though these reports
were coming out before free agency, when the Knicks ostensibly would have
been preparing to pursue these players. They leaked after the fact, as if to
send the message that the Knicks never wanted the players who seemed
uninterested in signing with them in the first place.
有些报导没太大可信度。
尼克不会给KD顶薪可能只是在放风声，若非如此那就是组织非常有问题，
比大家预期的尼克还要更糟糕。
Butler离开前两只队伍都不好看，确实有风险，
不过目前的消息是马后炮，可能只是自我安慰说尼克不想要这些没有来的球员。
It's unclear if Butler would have considered the Knicks seriously. When he
asked the Timberwolves to trade him in 2018, he listed the Knicks as one of
his preferred destinations, but that came at a point in which their
free-agent prospects appeared brighter. Then again, Butler signed with the
Heat without an immediate second All-Star in place, so the idea of being New
York's lone star and savior might have appealed to him. Still, most reports
have suggested that Butler chose the Heat because of their culture of
discipline and track record of success. The Knicks have neither of those
things. In all likelihood, Butler would not have seriously considered the
Knicks if for no other reason than the fact that most superstars in recent
years have not considered the Knicks, and without evidence to the contrary,
it makes sense to assume he would not have bucked that trend.
没办法知道Butler当时会不会认真考虑尼克。
他在2018年喊吹密时有把尼克列进名单，但是当时尼克签下明星的机会更大。
Butler去热火时没有第二个明星，所以当尼克的单星可能有机会。
但是Butler去热火是因为纪律和胜利的纪录，尼克啥都没有。
Butler大概没把尼克放在心上，正如所有超级明星都没打算去尼克。

短评或心得：
所以尼克什么时候才要完成重建？
要等老板换人吗？
Butler去尼克会再喊吹密吧XDDDD
