湖人拒绝了用THT换回首轮签+Birch的机会
Starting last season, the Los Angeles Lakers were shopping guard Talen Horton-Tu
cker in an attempt to bring back some talent that could help them improve right
away.
从上个赛季开始，洛杉矶湖人队就在兜售后卫THT，试图换回一些能够立即提升球队的好球
员。
The Lakers eventually sent him to the Utah Jazz along with forward Stanley Johns
on for veteran guard Patrick Beverley, but according to Dave McMenamin, they rep
ortedly turned down an opportunity to get a first-round pick from the Toronto Ra
ptors for him.
湖人最终把他和前锋Stanley一起送到了犹他爵士，换来了老将后卫天空贝，但据McMenamin
表示，他们拒绝了从多伦多暴龙得到首轮签的机会。
“I’m told that the Lakers had talks with the Toronto Raptors, where the Raptor
s, late last year, when it already looked like the Lakers were probably out of i
t or, at the very least, going to be a low seed and wouldn’t have a likely cham
pionship path to go all the way. The Raptors would have traded for Talen Horton-
Tucker,” said McMenamin. “Traded a first-round pick. So, think about that, the
Lakers had another first-round pick on top of the two firsts right now to play
with to try to make this team better. … Now, of course, I’m told the trade wou
ld have also involved Khem Birch so they would have taken some money there, and
maybe Birch wouldn’t be the best rotation guy for this group, but that first-ro
und pick is so valuable, and it’s why they’re so hamstrung with what they can
pursue right now.”
ESPN记者McMenamin：我被告知湖人与多伦多暴龙进行过谈判。去年年底，当湖人看起来可
能已经会被淘汰，或者至少是一个排名较后面的种子，已经没有冠军相的时候，暴龙愿意用
首轮签去交换用THT。所以，想想看如果换了，现在湖人除了两个首轮签之外，还会有另外
一个首轮签可以让这支球队变得更好。当然，我被告知这笔交易还会包含Birch，所以他们
会付出一些钱，也许Birch不会是这支球队最好的轮换球员，但那个首轮签太有价值了，这
就是为什么他们现在有可以追求的球员却无能为力的原因。

THT竟然能换到首轮签？
最后拿去换回天空贝
