What sort of timeline are the Pelicans aiming for to compete for a champions
hip? If they run it back, I think the team could compete for the 7-10 seed n
ext year. Is the front office ok with that kind of gradual improvement, or d
o you think they’re going all-in to try and win now? — Joshua D.
你认为球队什么时候才会开始考虑争冠,我认为球队下赛季的目标会是西区第七到第十
,你认为球队会继续缓慢前进,还是会考虑尝试赢在当下?
It’s tough to start putting championship expectations on a team led by a gu
y who hasn’t even turned 21 yet. Zion Williamson’s growth in his second se
ason was unlike anything we’ve seen for a player his age, and he’s already
established himself among the elite players in this league.
很难把一支由还没有满21岁的球员带领的球队纳入争冠的考虑,不过Zion在第二个赛季
的成长是无与伦比的,他正朝着精英级别球员的方向前进。
It’ll still take some time for him to grasp what’s required of him to be t
he consistent leader on both ends that New Orleans needs to grow into a real
contender one day. I mean,蟖uka Doncics right up there with Williamson as
far as unprecedented success for a player at such a young age, and Doncic s
till hasn’t made it out of the first round of the playoffs yet. Not to ment
ion, he landed with a franchise that has a much longer track record of winni
ng than New Orleans.
他还需要时间才能成长为在攻防两端都能带领球队的球员,就像鹈鹕也需要时间去提高
竞争力一样。 比如说另一名超新星Luka Doncic,他所在的独行侠比鹈鹕要强很多,但
他也从来没突破过首轮季后赛。
Making the playoffs — or at least the Play-In Tournament — has to be the b
are minimum for this group with all of its young talent and the two stars le
ading the way. Winning consistently in the West is always a grueling task, a
nd it seems like it’s only going to get tougher as some of the other young
squads competing with New Orleans continue to grow.
打进季后赛,或者至少打进附加赛,应该是这支天赋满满,有两名球星的球队下赛季的
最低目标。 在西区能持续赢球一直是一项挑战,而接下来几年,随着西区其它年轻球队
的成长,赢球只会变得更加困难。
If Damian Lillard places a trade request, would you package BI with all the
Pelicans picks plus additional players to make a super team with Zion & Dami
an? — Charles S.
如果Lillard申请交易,你会把鹈鹕所有的选秀权和Ingram以及其他球员一起打包,来打
造一支由Zion和Lillard组成的超级球队吗?
Let me start here: I don’t believe Lillard will be going anywhere this offs
eason. He’s been far too loyal to Portland, and the Trail Blazers just gave
him an enormous contract extension in 2019 that kicks in next season. I don
’t think Pels fans should be getting their hopes up anytime soon for a Lill
ard trade.
我认为Lillard近期哪里也不会去。 他对拓荒者有够忠诚,拓荒者也在2019年给了他顶
薪合约,球迷不该对他抱什么期望。
But if he were to become available miraculously, the Pels would be insane no
t to pursue him — even if it meant giving up Ingram. There would be a list
of teams willing to throw their best assets on the table to get a guy like L
illard.
不过,如果这件事真的发生了,那么球队应该全力追求他,哪怕这意味着要放弃Ingram
,为了得到Lillard这样的球员,会有很多球队愿意把他们最好的资产放在台面桌上。
Now, the question is what would it take to get him? A deal centered around I
ngram, Jaxson Hayes and two or three first-round picks would probably be the
minimum Portland is looking for. My guess Portland would want Kira Lewis Jr
. or Nickeil Alexander-Walker to be involved in the deal as well. I’d prefe
r to keep Alexander-Walker in a deal like this because he’d be a better fit
defensively next to Lillard.
所以怎样才能得到他呢? Ingram加上Hayes,再加上两到三个首轮选秀权,波特兰可能
才会开始看你的报价,他们可能还会要求加上Kira Lewis,或者Alexander-Walker, 这
时候我会倾向于留下Walker,他更适合与Lillard搭档。
If the Blazers counter and say they’re looking for something closer to four
or five picks for Lillard, I may get a little hesitant. He turns 31 in July
, and he has an incredible amount of money still left on his contract. He’s
owed more than $45 million in his age 33 season and more than $48 million i
n his age 34 season.
但如果拓荒者要价4-5个选秀权,我可能会犹豫,因为他今年七月份就满31岁了,还背着
巨大的合约,33岁赛季的薪水是4500万,34岁则是4800 万美元。
That’s a whole lot of money to be giving a small point guard late in his ca
reer. If you look back in NBA history, most of the guys in Lillard’s size r
ange tend to fall off a cliff once they reach their mid-30s. Paul is current
ly showing it’s possible to win at the highest level with an older point gu
ard, but is it a guarantee Lillard will be able to do the same late in his c
areer? It’s hard to predict at this point.
对于一个在职业生涯后期的矮小控球后卫来说,这是一大笔钱。 如果你回顾一下NBA的
历史,大多数像Lillard这种体型的球员一旦到了30岁多岁就会容易断崖式下跌。 虽然
保罗证明了矮小控卫也能保持很久的巅峰,但这毕竟是少数,我们能保证Lillard也能做
到吗?
Ultimately, I’m always a proponent of betting on talent and hoping for the
best. The idea of Lillard splashing 3s from halfcourt and Williamson dunking
on people in the same offense is utterly terrifying. And the guidance Lilla
rd can provide for Williamson during this crucial point in his career would
be invaluable. Does it guarantee New Orleans a title? Of course not.
But it would put them closer than they’ve ever been.
虽然如此,如果鹈鹕同时能够拥有Lillard的半场三分和Zion的暴力灌篮,该有多么恐怖

虽然如此,如果鹈鹕同时能够拥有Lillard的半场三分和Zion的暴力灌篮,该有多么恐怖
? 而且Lillard能够给Zion提供的指导将是无价的,这能保证为鹈鹕带来总冠军吗? 当
然不行。 但是,这会让他们比以前任何时候都要接近。
Should the Pels seriously think about trading BI? If you designed the ideal
“2nd best player on a Zion-led team,” how much would that player look like
BI? I think – not very much. You’d want someone like Klay Thompson – A+
defender, A+ shooter, does not need the ball. BI is arguably as bad a defend
er as Zion (with less reason to think he will improve), and does not fancy h
imself a spot-up shooter, so he doesn’t do it. BI is a good player, but doe
sn’t seem to fit well with Zion. — Derek M.
我认为Ingram不是合格的二当家,最好的二当家应该是像KT那样的顶级攻防的3D球员,
Ingram防守和Zion一样差,也不是射手,他和Zion真心不搭,球队有考虑交易他吗?
I’ve seen quite a few people running with this narrative since the season,
and it’s stunning to me. I couldn’t disagree more with people who are in s
uch a rush to get rid of an All-Star who’s under 25 years old and was more
than happy to commit to a long-term deal to stay in New Orleans. How many of
those guys do you think are readily available at the moment?
从本赛季开始以来我看过很多人这样说,我看到的第一反应是很震惊。 为什么你们这么
想摆脱一名25岁以下的球星呢,他还十分乐意与鹈鹕签下长约,现在市场上还有多少这
可以去问问活塞、骑士、火箭和雷霆这样的球队,他们有多么希望Ingram是他们队里第
二好的球员。 鹈鹕本赛季的失败只能说明Zion和Ingram身边的角色球员有多么不适合他
们,而不是他们两人之间有多么不适合。
Does Ingram need to show massive improvement on defense? Of course. He’s go
t to understand his role will be different now that so much of the offense i
s going to flow through Williamson. There have to be other ways he can impac
t the game outside of scoring.
当然,Ingram必须提升自己的防守,因为现在球队的进攻是围绕着Zion展开,Ingram必须找到其他影响比赛的方式。
Ingram is an incredible talent, and I think it’s easy to overlook that beca
use Williamson looks like a superhero from a different planet at times.
Ingram很有天赋,但在超级英雄般的Zion面前,人们很容易忽视这一点。
The best way to build a consistent winner is by acquiring multiple stars and
building around them. The Pelicans were lucky enough to figure out the most
challenging part of that equation almost immediately after drafting William
son. Their next job is to figure out what kind of players they need to compl
ement those two. Tossing Ingram aside this early in the process would be one
of the worst decisions the organization could ever make — unless you can g
et someone better than him.
球队想建立赢球文化的最好办法是得到多名球星,并围绕他们建队。 鹈鹕在得到Ingra
m、选中Zion后已经很快地做到了第一步,他们接下来的工作就是找到最适合他们二人的
其他拼图,现在就把Ingram姆丢出去是最差的决定,除非你能找到比他更好的人选。
