记者:湖人高层的想法是两支签都不能动
Russell Westbrook’s decision to embrace his role off the bench for the Los Ange
les Lakers has worked wonders for him. He’s looked like an entirely different p
layer, and he’s now carved out a significant role for himself on the team’s ro
tation. At this point, it’s almost as if the Lakers have thrown the prospect of
trading him away out the window.
龟龟在洛杉矶湖人队接受替补角色的决定为他创造了奇蹟,他现在看起来像一个完全不同的
球员,现在他在球队的轮换阵容中为自己创造了一个重要的角色。在这一点上,似乎湖人已
经放弃了交易他的可能性。
The reality of the situation, however, is that Westbrook’s current deal will ex
pire at the end of the season. It doesn’t seem likely that he’s going to secur
e an extension with the Lakers, which means that for their part, LA will want to
get as much value out of Westbrook while they still can. Having him walk away f
or nothing next summer as a free agent is not exactly an ideal situation for the
Lakers, to say the least.
然而,现实情况是龟龟目前的合约将在本赛季结束后到期,他似乎不太可能和湖人续约,这
意味着湖人希望在他还在的时候能尽可能从他身上获得更多价值。退一步来说,让他在明年
夏天以自由球员的身分离开对湖人来说并不是一个理想的情况。
Despite his recent resurgence, however, the biggest stumbling block to any poten
tial Westbrook still remains to be his gargantuan salary. Any team that trades f
or Russ will need to shoulder part of the $47 million he’s still owed this seas
on. This only means that the Lakers have to make any potential deal worthwhile f
or the said team. LA currently has two future first-round picks at their disposa
l which they will likely need to part with as part of a Russ trade deal.
然而尽管最近龟龟复活了,但对任何潜在的龟龟交易来说,最大的阻碍仍然是他的巨额薪资
。任何球队要交易龟龟都需承担他本赛季剩余的4700万美元的一部分。这只意味着湖人必须
让对方认为潜在的龟龟交易是值得的,湖人目前有两个未来首轮选秀权,很可能需要把它们
当成龟龟交易的一部分。
This is where the problem lies. According to NBA insider Ric Bucher of FOX Sport
s, the Lakers might not be amenable to this notion. Bucher’s source tells him t
hat “the front office’s thinking said any deal that would have to involve one
of the team’s future first-round picks ‘ain’t happening.'”
这就是问题所在。根据FOX Sports的NBA记者Ric Bucher的说法,湖人可能不会接受这个想
法。Bucher的消息来源告诉他,“高层的想法是,任何涉及球队未来首轮选秀权之一的交易
都不会发生。”
Does this mean that the Lakers are just going to stick it out with Westbrook? It
doesn’t seem likely that they’re going to be able to offload him without incl
uding at least one of their first-round picks, so unless they change their stanc
e, it seems like Russ is going to be in Hollywood for a while longer.
这是否意味着湖人队会留着龟龟?他们似乎不太可能在不包括至少一个首轮选秀权的情况下
交易掉他,所以除非他们改变立场,否则龟龟似乎将会在好莱坞再待一段时间。
