马刺目标是明年的热门状元Victor Wembanyama
Well, it happened. Dejounte Murray was traded for the proverbial truckload of dr
aft picks and Lonnie Walker is an unrestricted free agent. Some fans might think
this is the end of the world and are questioning what the Spurs are doing, but
it’s really not a bad move.
Dejounte Murray的交易换回来了一卡车选秀权，Lonnie Walker成为不受限制的自由球员(
目前已和湖人签约)。 一部份的球迷可能会质疑马刺队在做什么，但这真的不是一步错棋。
The main caveat to consider behind all of this is next year's draft. Next year V
ictor Wembanyama is available. Who? You may ask.
这一切背后需要考虑的主要原因是明年的选秀 Victor Wembanyama，你可能会问这谁？
Wembanyama, if you don’t already know, might be the highest touted European pro
spect since Luka Doncic. Wembanyama is an 18-year-old French basketball player w
ho's been playing professional basketball since he was 15. Wembanyama most recen
tly played for ASVEL in the French League LNB Pro A and the Turkish Airlines Eur
oLeague, the second most competitive league in the world and the top-tier league
in Europe.
He signed a two-year contract with Pro A's Metropolitans 92 on Thursday, June 30
.
如果你还不知道Wembanyama是谁的话，他可能是自Luka Doncic以来最受被吹捧的欧洲新秀
。 Wembanyama是一名18岁的法国篮球运动员，从15岁开始就一直在打职业篮球。 Wemban
yama最近在法国LNB Pro A联赛中为ASVEL队效力，该联赛是世界上第二大联赛，也是欧洲的
顶级联赛。6月30日，他与 Pro A的Metropolitans 92签订了一份为期两年的合约。
He's listed at a daunting 7-foot-3-inches tall, with a 7-foot-9-inch wingspan, b
ut might actually be taller. Wembanyama certainly looks bigger standing next to
7-footer and recent No. 2 overall draft pick Chet Holmgren.

他有着惊人的7'3身高，臂展更是有7'9。 Wembanyama站在今年的榜眼Chet Holmgren的旁边
更显得高大。
Wembanyama's numbers might seem unimpressive from the Pro A, averaging 9.4 point
s and 4.3 rebounds per game. But adjusted to per 36 minutes stats they’re at 18
.4 points and 10 rebounds. Keep in mind that's at 18 years old in an adult profe
ssional league. Regardless, he helped ASVEL capture the 2022 Pro A title and won
the Pro A Best Young Player Award in 2021 and 2022.
Wembanyama在Pro A联赛中的数据是场均9.4分和4.3个篮板，看起来并不令人印象深刻， 但
如果调整为每36分钟的数据，他得分可以来到18.4分和10个篮板。 请记住，这是他以18岁
的年纪在成人职业联赛的成绩。 无论如何，他帮助ASVEL获得了2022年Pro A冠军，并在202
1年和2022年获得了Pro A最佳年轻球员奖。

而在另一篇spurstalk记者LJ Ellis报导
Hours after extending the qualifying offer to Lonnie Walker IV to make him a res
tricted free agent, the Spurs rescinded the qualifying offer. Walker promptly si
gned with the Los Angeles Lakers.
马刺开QO给Lonnie Walker IV让他成为受限制自由球员，数小时后马刺收回QO。 随后Walke
r迅速与洛杉矶湖人队签约。
According to a person close to the situation, Walker asked the Spurs to rescind
the qualifying offer so that he could maximize his value in free agency by becom
ing an unrestricted free agent. As it turned out, Walker’s contract with the La
kers (one year for $6.5 million) was basically identical to his qualifying offer
据知情人士透露，这是Walker主动要求马刺撤回QO，这样他就可以成为一名不受限制的自由
球员，实现自己在自由市场上的价值最大化。 不过事实证明，Walker与湖人签的合约(一年
650万美元)与他的QO基本相同。
Pulling Walker’s qualifying offer increased San Antonio’s cap space from aroun
d $26 million to nearly $40 million. So, what do the Spurs plan to do with all t
hat room? As expected, it doesn’t appear like the Spurs will make a move for re
stricted free agent Deandre Ayton.
马刺收回Walker的QO后，使马刺的薪金空间从2600万美元增加到近4000万美元。 那么，马
刺打算用这些空间做什么呢? 正如预期的那样，马刺目前无意追求Ayton。
The likeliest outcome is the Spurs renting out their cap room. For example, they
could absorb a bad contract (say, Russell Westbrook) in exchange for draft capi
tal (say, two minimally protected first round picks).
最有可能的是马刺更想利用这部分空间吃进其他球队想摆脱垃圾约例如（.....），同时收
取选秀权作为报酬。
