The NBA trade market has officially heated up with next week’s Feb. 9
deadline upon the league, and conversations among team executives are
expected to become more serious as the next few days unfold.
Across the NBA, it’s no secret the Toronto Raptors are viewed as a swing
team in this year’s trade market. Raptors vice chairman and president of
basketball operations Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster have what
’s seen as a talented core of attractive pieces in Pascal Siakam, Fred
VanVleet, O.G. Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr.
随着 2 月 9 日交易截止日期到来，NBA交易市场正式升温，接下来几天球队高层间的对
话预计将变得更加严肃。
在今年的交易市场上，多伦多暴龙队被视为摇摆不定的球队，而这已经不是什么秘密了。
在暴龙队副主席兼篮球总管 Masai Ujiri 和总经理 Bobby Webster眼里，Pascal Siakam
、Fred VanVleet、OG Anunoby 和Gary Trent Jr被视为极具吸引力的核心。
Because of the Raptors’ disappointing season thus far (they are currently
23-28 and in 12th place in the East), rival teams have been informed that the
franchise will make a decision about being a buyer or seller – or standing
pat – near deadline day, according to league sources who, like all the other
sources in this story, were granted anonymity so that they would be able to
speak freely. The Raptors are currently 2-1 on their six-game road trip that
concludes on Feb. 5.
The Raptors surely have high price tags on their core pieces, such as
VanVleet and Anunoby. Will Toronto hold firm with the talent it’s amassed –
or enter the lottery sweepstakes and build increasingly around Scottie Barnes?
由于暴龙队本季打出令人失望的赛季（目前战绩为 23 胜 28 负，在东区排第 12 名），
暴龙已告知其他球队，将在截止日期前决定成为买方、卖方，还是按兵不动。和其他消息
来源一样，这则情报被要求匿名。而暴龙队目前在六场客场之旅中取得战绩 2-1。
暴龙队的核心球员肯定要价不斐，比如 VanVleet 和 Anunoby。但多伦多会是会留着的他
们的天赋——还是进入乐透抽奖并以Scottie Barnes为核心重建?
What’s more, Nick Nurse’s future as Raptors head coach is expected to come
into focus this summer, when sources say he will be entering the final year
of his contract going into next season. After the 2019-20 season, Nurse –
who guided the Raptors to the 2019 NBA championship, won Coach of the Year in
2020, and is regarded among the league’s best coaches – signed a contract
extension through 2023-24 worth $8 million per year. The length of the deal
has not been previously disclosed by the team. There’s been frustration
throughout the roster and staff with the team’s play at points of this
season, and that has been directed toward Nurse at times too, according to
sources.
此外，据消息指出暴龙队总教练Nick Nurse下赛季将进入合约的最后一年，预计将在今年
夏天成为人们关注的焦点。Nurse在 2019-20 赛季，曾带领暴龙队夺得 2019 年 NBA 总
冠军、赢得 2020 年度最佳教练，并被认为是联盟最佳教练之一。之后Nurse签下了一份
每年价值 800 万美元的合约至 2023-24 赛季。而实际上Nurse合约年限，暴龙从未对外
公布过。据消息人士透露，整个团队和人员都对球队在本赛的表现感到沮丧，而且有时也
会对Nurse感到沮丧。
Meanwhile, the two players whose names have been part of trade talks since
the early part of the season are Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder and Atlanta
Hawks big man John Collins. It’s expected both teams will continue strong
dialogue regarding both as Feb. 9 nears.
与此同时，自本赛季以来，两名球员一直都在交易谈话中，分别是凤凰城太阳队前锋Jae
Crowder 和亚特兰大老鹰队John Collins。随着 2 月 9 日的临近，预计两支球队将以这
两位球员继续谈判。
In a new development, the Suns have given permission to the Bucks to meet
with Crowder and they met over the weekend, league sources tell The Athletic.
The Bucks are believed to be the only team that has received permission to
visit one-on-one with Crowder, those sources have also indicated. Multiple
teams, including the Miami Heat and Hawks, remain interested in Crowder, who
is seen by championship-contending teams as a fortifying acquisition at the
deadline.
Both the Suns and Bucks have engaged in serious trade talks for months, with
current proposals surrounding Jordan Nwora, George Hill, Serge Ibaka and
second-round draft compensation to Phoenix for Crowder, according to sources.
The Bucks and Suns have searched for a third team to provide Phoenix with a
forward – so what outcome will emerge between now and next Thursday?
消息人士告诉The Athletic，在一个新的发展中，太阳队已经允许公鹿队与Crowder 会面
，他们在周末会面。消息人士还表示，公鹿队是唯一一支获准与Crowder 一对一见面的球
队。包括迈阿密热火队和老鹰队在内的多支球队仍然对克劳德感兴趣。
据消息人士透露，太阳队和公鹿队几个月来一直在认真谈判，目前的提议是Jordan
Nwora, George Hill, Serge Ibaka以及一支二轮换取Crowder 。而公鹿队和太阳队同时
正在寻找第三方球队来为太阳提供一名前锋——那么从现在到下周四会发生什么结果呢？
For their part, the Hawks, under new head of basketball operations Landry
Fields, have won six of their last nine games since Jan. 13 and have taken a
patient approach with trade talks. Fields has made clear to rival executives
that the team views Collins as a valued asset, not one the franchise will
simply dump in any form, according to sources. The newfound approach could
lead to more traction in the Collins market over the next two weeks.
而老鹰队，在新任篮球运营总裁Landry Fields的领导下，自 1 月 13 日以来，他们在过
去的九场比赛中赢了六场，并且在谈判中采取耐心的态度。据消息人士透露，Fields已经
向外界表明，球队将Collins视为一项宝贵的资产，不会随意抛售。据消息，Fields的态
度，会在未来两周内为 Collins 市场带来更多吸引力。
The Jazz remain among the teams with strong interest in Collins, and The
Athletic’s Kelly Iko reported last week that the Rockets are also pursuing
Collins. When the Jazz and Hawks discussed a Collins deal early in the
season, Atlanta asked for Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt, according to
sources. The Jazz countered by asking for a first-round pick in return, and
when the Hawks declined, talks stalled.
It remains to be seen where conversations unfold between Fields and the Jazz’
s front office led by CEO Danny Ainge and GM Justin Zanik.
爵士队仍对Collins有浓厚兴趣，The Athletic的 Kelly Iko上周报导说，火箭队也在追
求Collins。据消息人士透露，当爵士队和老鹰队在本赛季初讨论Collins的交易时，老鹰
要求Malik Beasley 和Jarred Vanderbilt。而爵士队要求以首轮选秀权作为回报，而当
老鹰队拒绝时，谈判陷入僵局。
老鹰 Fields 与爵士管理层之间的对话还有待观察。
The NBA is less than two weeks from one of the biggest days on the league’s
calendar. The buyers and sellers will reveal themselves, and the moves will
begin to come. Team executives believe that a championship opportunity is
wide open this season, increasing the urgency for some while providing a
prolonged marketplace situation. We will have much more to come as talks
develop across the league.
距离联盟交易截止日，还有不到两周的时间。买家和卖家将现身并展开行动。多名球队高
管认为，本赛季冠军机会大开，这增加了一些球队紧迫性，同时提供了长期的市场走势。
随着整个联盟谈判的发展，将会有更多的事情要做。
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets are discussing center Mason Plumlee and forward Kelly Oubre Jr.
in trade conversations, sources say.
Forward Jalen McDaniels continues to be a name several teams like the Suns,
Raptors, Jazz, Pacers and Spurs are closely monitoring, but the Hornets value
the 6-foot-9 forward whom they have developed over the past four seasons.
Teams with interest and cap space this offseason, such as the Jazz, Pacers
and Spurs, may opt to wait until free agency to court McDaniels, who will be
unrestricted, instead of trading an asset to acquire him now while having to
compensate him in July.
夏洛特黄蜂队
消息人士称，黄蜂队正在讨论中锋 Mason Plumlee利和前锋Kelly Oubre Jr交易。而前锋
Jalen McDaniels仍然是太阳队、暴龙队、爵士队、溜马队和马刺队密切关注的球员，但
黄蜂队非常重视他们在过去四个赛季培养的前锋。有兴趣和薪资空间的球队，例如爵士队
、溜马队和马刺队，可能会选择等到休赛季的自由球员市场，才对Jalen McDaniels出手
，而不是现在用资产来换取他。
Dallas Mavericks
The Jazz are expressing strong interest in Mavericks forward Dorian
Finney-Smith, as teams have gotten the impression that Dallas would be open
to moving the 29-year-old in the right deal for a star-caliber player,
sources say. The Mavericks have an incredibly high price threshold for teams
reaching out about Finney-Smith, rival executives say.
In seven seasons with the Mavericks, Finney-Smith has established himself as
a critical two-way wing, well-liked teammate and important for the team’s
culture, including being a favorite of MVP candidate Luka Doncic. But it’s
clear that Finney-Smith has also become one of Dallas’ main pieces if the
organization is to pull off a blockbuster deal for an All-Star player ahead
of the deadline or in the offseason.
Finney-Smith signed a four-year, $55 million extension last season, placing
him under contract through 2024-25 with a player option for 2025-26.
达拉斯独行侠队
消息人士称，爵士队对Dorian Finney-Smith表现出浓厚的兴趣，因为球队给人的印象是
独行侠愿意以合适的方式交易这名 29 岁的球员。对手高管表示，独行侠对Dorian
Finney-Smith有着极高的价格门槛。
独行侠的七个赛季中，Finney-Smith已经展现出自己在球队的地位。但很明显，如果独行
侠要在截止日期前或休赛期交易来一位全明星，Finney-Smith会成为重要包裹之一。
Finney-Smith上赛季签下了一份四年5500 万美元的合约，并在2025-26 赛季持有的球员
选项。
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets are in active trade conversations around guard Bones Hyland, with
teams such as Minnesota expressing interest, according to sources.
丹佛金块
据消息人士透露，金块队正在围绕后卫Bones Hyland进行积极的交易对话，而灰狼表达了
兴趣。
Minnesota Timberwolves
Timberwolves guard Jaylen Nowell is leaning toward leaving the team in the
offseason via free agency, sources say. Nowell — a 23-year-old guard who is
averaging a career-high 10.9 points in 19.7 minutes per game — will be a
sought after unrestricted free agent in July. While Nowell has had moments of
dynamic scoring this season, he is shooting 43.9 percent from the field and
27.6 percent from 3-point range. Nowell, who is earning $1.9 million in the
final season of his rookie deal, is currently eligible for a maximum
extension of four years and $58 million.
明尼苏达灰狼队
消息人士称，灰狼后卫Jaylen Nowell倾向于在休赛期以自由球员身份离开球队。23 岁的
Nowell ，场均出场 19.7 分钟，得到职业生涯最高的 10.9 分——将在 7 月份成为非受
限自由球员。虽然Nowell 本赛季有过充满活力的得分时刻，但他的投篮命中率为 43.9%
，三分球命中率为 27.6%。Nowell 在新秀最后一个赛季合约为190 万美元，目前有资格
获得最长 4 年和 5800 万美元的续约。
San Antonio Spurs
Several teams are increasing their pursuit of Spurs center Jakob Poeltl, and
it appears a move to the Eastern Conference could be possible ahead of the
deadline. The Raptors and Celtics are among the teams expressing interest in
Poeltl, sources say. The 27-year-old will be arguably the top unrestricted
free agent big man in July.
圣安东尼奥马刺队
几支球队正在积极追求马刺队中锋Jakob Poeltl，目前看起来在截止日期前加入东区球队
是有可能的。消息人士称，暴龙队和赛尔提克队都对 Poeltl 表示了兴趣。Poeltl 将在
七月成为非受限自由球员。
Toronto Raptors
The Knicks and Suns are among the interested suitors in Raptors forward O.G.
Anunoby, sources say. New York has shown a willingness to offer multiple
first-round picks for Anunoby, according to those sources. The Suns,
meanwhile, have control of all of their first-round picks — eight in total —
through 2030. SNY first reported the Knicks’ interest last week.
多伦多暴龙队
消息人士称，尼克和太阳都对OG Anunoby 感兴趣。据这些消息人士称，尼克已经表现出
愿意为Anunoby 提供多个首轮选秀权。与此同时，而太阳到2030年共持有八个首轮选秀权
。
