原文（节录）＋翻译：
There are still a few weeks to go before NBA free agency begins in earnest on
June 30, but the Lakers have already made it clear that keeping Rui Hachimura
will be one of their top priorities when it begins.
距离六月三十日自由市场正式开启，还有数个星期的时间，但湖人已经清楚表明，留住八
村垒将会是该队其中一个首要的任务。
The team has been leaking for the last month that they will match any offer
for Hachimura (and his fellow restricted free agent, Austin Reaves), but it
still remains to be seen if Hachimura will be able to get the money he’s
seeking directly from the Lakers, or if he’ll have to sign an offer sheet
with another team that Los Angeles will then have to choose whether or not to
match.
在过去的一个月，球队一直对外表示，他们愿意跟进任何针对八村垒和同样成为自由球员
的Austin Reaves 提出的报价，但目前无法得知八村垒是否能够直接从湖人队方面取得所
需的现金，或者要跟进来自其他球队的报价。
When asked about that upcoming free agent process on ESPN’s “Hoop Streams”
before Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night, Hachimura made it clear he
was appreciative of his time in purple and gold but was noncommittal about a
return (emphasis mine):
星期五晚间（即总冠军赛第四战开始前），在 ESPN 的节目上被问到自由球员的前景时，
八村垒对于在紫金军团的时光是非常感激的，但对于回锅与否却不予置评。
他的说法是：
“The reason why I requested the trade is that I wanted to be somewhere I
could be happy and play basketball, that liked me as a basketball player,
that believed in me, and the Lakers were one of the teams that was really
interested in me. My agent and the team did a good job, and I went to the
Lakers and it was a crazy season for me... Back at that time, we didn’t even
know we were going to make the playoffs. So we made the playoffs and the
playoff run was pretty good, we lost to Denver but it was pretty good for us.
I don’t know my future but I just want to be somewhere I can be happy. The
Lakers have been good and we’re going to see.”
“我提出交易申请，是因为只想要待在我可以开心打球，且愿意信任我的地方，想要一个
喜欢我以篮球员的身份效力的地方，而湖人是当时对我很有兴趣的球队之一，我的经纪
人和球队都做得很好。我最后来到湖人，经历了这个疯狂的球季。
回到那个时候，我们根本不知道将有机会打进季后赛。因此我们很早就拼尽全力争取晋
级，这过程真的很棒。虽然输给了丹佛（金块），实际上今年我们已经做得很好了。我
不知道未来将会怎样发展，但我只想要在我能开心的地方。在湖人的一切都很棒，所以
我们就继续看下去吧。”
短评：
目前看来，还要应付薪资帽的问题...
不知是否还有足够的空间，以留住打进西冠的班底（阵容）呢？
