On the morning of Jan. 7, Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison
invited Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka to the Ascension Coffee in the
lobby of the Hotel Crescent Court, just a half-mile from American Airlines
Arena, to begin a similarly arduous, delicate trade conversation that would
jolt the rest of the NBA.
Nearly a month later, the Lakers and Mavericks pulled off perhaps the most
shocking trade in NBA history, trading 25-year-old perennial MVP contender,
Luka Doncic, for All-NBA big man, Anthony Davis, without so much as a peep
leaking out ahead of time.
1月7日早上，达拉斯独行侠总经理Nico Harrison邀请洛杉矶湖人总经理Rob Pelinka前往
酒店Crescent Court大厅内的 Ascension Coffee，该酒店距离美国航空中心仅半英里，
两人开始了一场同样艰难而微妙的交易谈判，这场谈判最终震撼了整个NBA。
将近一个月后，湖人与独行侠完成了一笔可能是NBA历史上最令人震惊的交易——他们在
没有任何风声泄露的情况下，将25岁长年竞逐MVP的超级球星Luka Doncic交易至湖人，换
来全明星内线Anthony Davis。
Doncic sent a quick group text to his teammates but did not answer or return
Harrison's call informing him of the trade. Davis was home in Los Angeles,
texting congratulations to his teammates after they'd beaten the New York
Knicks on Saturday night. LeBron James was out to dinner in New York when he
got a call from Pelinka minutes before ESPN's Shams Charania broke news of
the trade. Kyrie Irving learned of the trade on social media while he was
undergoing treatment at the Mavericks hotel in Cleveland, where the team was
set to play against the Cavaliers on Sunday afternoon.
Doncic迅速在球队群组中发送了一条短信给队友，但并未接听或回拨给Harrison告知他交
易消息的来电。
AD当时正在洛杉矶家中，周六晚上湖人击败尼克队后，他正在给队友发送祝贺短信。
LBJ当时正在纽约外出用餐，当ESPN记者Shams爆出交易消息的几分钟前，他接到了Pelinka
的来电。
Irving则是在独行侠下榻的饭店接受治疗时，通过社交媒体得知了这笔交易，而球队正准
备于周日下午对阵骑士队。
Executives from around the league were both furious and jealous that the
glitzy, star-driven Lakers had been the only team given an opportunity to bid
for Doncic's services.
"Unfathomable," one Western Conference executive told ESPN.
"I'm stunned," an Eastern Conference executive texted.
整个联盟的高层们对此既愤怒又嫉妒，因为这支光鲜亮丽、以明星球员为核心的湖人队，
竟然是唯一获得机会竞标Doncic的球队。
“难以想像” 一位西区球队高层告诉ESPN。
“我震惊了” 一位东区球队高层在短信中表示。
Harrison decided early on, team sources said, that the best way to trade a
player of Doncic's caliber was to pick the trade that he wanted, rather than
open up the process, to avoid Doncic and his agent exerting their own
leverage. It would also avoid the crippling fan backlash that might influence
the deal.
球队消息人士透露，Harrison早早便决定，交易像Doncic这种级别的球员，最好的方式就
是直接选择他想要的交易，而不是公开竞标。
这样可以避免Doncic及其经纪人利用自身影响力施加压力，同时也能减少可能影响交易的
严重球迷反弹。
Even the Utah Jazz, the third team that facilitated the transaction by
collecting two second-round picks for absorbing Jalen Hood-Schifino, didn't
know Doncic and Davis were a part of the deal until about an hour before it
was completed, league sources said. Even Jazz president Danny Ainge, who
hails from the Lakers' hated rival, the Boston Celtics, had about only 30
minutes notice, sources said, that Los Angeles was about to acquire Doncic to
be the new face of its franchise.
But by then it was too late to do much about it. NBA history was about to be
altered.
根据联盟消息来源透露，就连促成这笔交易通过吸收JHS而获得两个次轮选秀权的犹他爵士
队，也是在交易完成前大约一小时才知道Luka Doncic和Anthony Davis是交易的一部分。
消息人士称，就连爵士队总裁Danny Ainge——这位来自湖人队宿敌波士顿塞尔提克队的
前高管——也只在洛杉矶湖人队即将获得Doncic并使其成为球队新门面的消息前大约30分
钟才得知。
但到那时，一切已为时已晚，NBA的历史即将被改写。
PELINKA AND HARRISON'S relationship dates to the summer of 2003, when both
were ambitious young executives who had earned the trust of a
then-25-year-old Kobe Bryant. Bryant had left his longtime agent Arn Tellem
in March 2002 and convinced Pelinka, then a junior executive at Tellem's
company SFX, to leave with him.
Pelinka和Harrrison的关系可以追溯到2003年夏天，当时两人都是雄心勃勃的年轻高管，
并赢得了当时25岁的Kobe的信任。
Kobe在2002年3月离开了他长期合作的经纪人Arn Tellem，并说服了当时在泰勒姆公司SFX
担任初级高管的Pelinka与他一起离开。
Over the next decade Pelinka and Harrison traveled the world together with
Bryant on official Nike business and joint family vacations. They were
members of Bryant's inner circle, and they leaned on each other when Bryant
tragically died in a helicopter crash in 2020.
All of which is prologue to why Harrison only felt comfortable discussing the
biggest gamble of his professional career with Pelinka.
在接下来的十年里，Pelinka和Harrison与Kobe一起环游世界，处理Nike的官方业务并共
同享受家庭假期。
他们是Kobe核心圈子的成员，当Kobe于2020年不幸在事故中去世时，他们互相依靠。
所有这些都是为什么Harrison只愿意与Pelinka讨论他职业生涯中最大赌注的前奏。
"I understand the magnitude of it," Harrison said Sunday. "The easiest thing
for me to do is nothing, and everyone would praise me for doing nothing. But
we really believe in it. Time will tell if I'm right."
“我理解这其中的重要性”Harrison在周日说道。
“对我来说，最简单的事情就是什么都不做，而每个人都会因为我什么都不做而赞扬我。
但我们真的相信这一点，时间会证明我是否正确。”
IN THE NEARLY four years since former Mavericks owner Mark Cuban lured him
away from Nike to come run the team, Harrison has studied Doncic closely.
While he admired Doncic's talent, spirit and competitiveness, team sources
said, Harrison had more doubts about Doncic than others in the organization
