原文＋翻译：
After considering multiple options with Kyle Lowry, the Heat has decided
against one of them: waiving and stretching his contract. The Heat instead is
now focused on using his salary in a trade for Damian Lillard or another
potential deal, according to a league source.
在考量多个针对萝莉的选项之后，热火队决定将不会选择其中一个：裁走并摊提。相反的
，根据联盟消息人士的说法，热火队将会专注于将他的薪资用在小李或其他潜在球员的交
易上。
Miami also is comfortable beginning next season with Lowry on the roster if
he isn’t traded this summer. More trade opportunities could open before next
February’s trade deadline.
如果萝莉在今年夏天没能被交易出去，对热火队来说没有什么大不了。在明年二月的交易
大限前，还有很多的交易空间。
Two people in contact with the Heat said Miami had considered using the
waive-and-stretch provision on Lowry, which would have meant absorbing cap
hits of $9.9 million each of the next three seasons instead of a $29.7
million hit on next year’s cap, should he remain with the team.
两位与热火有密切联系的人员说，热火队曾经考量对萝莉使用延伸条款来裁走并摊提，这
将意味着如果他继续留队，在未来三个赛季内，每年可以吸收九百九十万美元的薪资上限
，而不是单一赛季的二千九百七十万美元。
But the Heat ultimately has decided against that, according to a source, in
part because the $9.9 million cap hits in 2024-25 and 2025-26 would be
burdensome. Lowry’s salary could be used as ballast in a trade for Lillard,
who remains Miami’s No. 1 offseason target.
但根据一位消息人士，热火队最终决定不使用该选项，一部分是因为在2024-25和2025-26
赛季的九百九十万薪资上限将会形成负担。萝莉的薪资理论上可以在作为热火队休赛季头
号目标的小李之交易上，用作镇重物。
＊编按：“镇重物”＝减缓冲击的东西
If Lowry isn’t included in a deal with Portland, Miami could re-engage with
the Clippers, who are seeking veteran point guard help. A combination of
power forward Marcus Morris and either Robert Covington or Terance Mann could
satisfy cap rules, but the Heat might need to offer something else.
如果萝莉没有被纳入拓荒者的交易中，热火队可能会选择与正寻求控球后卫支援的快艇队
重新开启谈判。一个包括大前锋 Marcus Morris Sr. 和 Robert Covington 或 Terance
Mann 的交易包可能能够符合薪资上限要求，但热火队可能需要提供某种东西。
Ideally, the Heat would like to be able to trade Lowry either in a Lillard
package, or to a team that can absorb his salary and send Miami back a useful
player earning significantly less - a scenario that would lower the Heat’s
tax bill. But that second option might be difficult to pull off because a
limited number of teams have the cap space to take back a lot more money than
they send out.
理想的情况是，热火队希望能够将萝莉放在小李的交易包中，或者交易给一支能够吸收其
薪资的球队，并给热火队送回一名薪资明显较低的有用球员——这种情况会降低热火队的
豪华税。但第二种选择可能很难实现，因为很少球队有足够的上限空间，可以收回比所送
出的多出许多薪资的球员。
The Heat appreciates Lowry’s contributions during the playoffs and how
professionally he handled himself when moved to a bench role. Attempts to
move his contract are financially-driven more than anything.
热火队对于萝莉在季后赛的付出和他在被调至板凳上时的专业态度非常感激，而要处理其
合约，更多的是处于财务考量。
（下面是 Max Strus 的交易乳摸）
STRUS INTEREST
- Indiana, Detroit and Chicago are expected to be among the suitors for Max
Strus when free agency begins at 6 p.m. Friday. A source close to Strus
expects he will command the $12.3 million mid-level exception or potentially
something higher from the Pacers or Pistons.
溜马、活塞和公牛预计将成为Strus 在自由市场开启后的竞争者。一位接近他的消息人士
说，他预计会获得1230万美元的中产阶级薪资，或者从溜马或活塞得到更高的薪资。
- The Heat very much values Caleb Martin and it could be a point of
contention if Portland insists on acquiring him in a Lillard trade. While it’
s doubtful that a request for Martin would torpedo a deal, the Heat would
like to keep him.
热火队非常重视 Caleb Martin，如果波特兰坚持要在小李的交易中获得他，这可能是一
个争论点。虽然对 Martin 的要求可能会破坏交易，但热火队还是希望能留下他。
- SI.com’s Chris Mannix reported that Portland is “lukewarm” about Tyler
Herro in a package for Lillard. If the Blazers prefer a package not involving
Herro, that could necessitate the need for a third team (that likes Herro) to
be included or a package not involving Herro. ESPN’s Tim Legler, on why a
Lillard/Heat marriage makes sense:
《体育画报》记者 Chris Mannix 报导，拓荒者在把英雄哥放进小李交易包的事上是“微
热”的。如果拓荒者队想要一个不包括英雄哥的交易包，这将需要对英雄哥有所需求的第
三队加入，或者找出一个不涉及他的交易包。ESPN 记者Tim Legler 在就小李加入热火队
的可能性作出分析时，其中提到：
“If Lillard really wants to add to his legacy as a player, you want to see
him play on the biggest stage. I look at Miami. The infrastructure is in
place assuming it would not mean Butler or Bam is not there. If you put
Damian Lillard with those two players and what that organization does year
after year to reinvent themselves with their supporting cast. And we know the
culture we’ve talked a lot about with Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra.
“如果小李真的想增加自己作为一个球员的荣誉，你会想看到他在最大的舞台上打球。我
看了一下迈阿密。基础设施已经到位，假设这并不意味着吉巴或阿德巴约不会留在那里
。如果你把小李和这两名球员放在一起，以及该球团年复一年地用他们的辅助阵容重塑
自己的做法。我们知道我们已经谈了很多关于莱利和湿婆的文化。”
“To have a chance to play for who I think is the best coach in the NBA to
maximize yourself as a player, if you’re Damian Lillard and have that
opportunity to force Portland’s hand and find your way to Miami you have a
much better chance to be an NBA champion. Miami would be the best place and
they have a lot of things in return they can potentially make that deal
happen.”
“如果要有机会为我自己认为是NBA 最好的教练打球，最大限度地发挥自己作为一个球员
的作用，假如你是小李，你可能会想着迫使拓荒者出手，找到你的方式来到迈阿密，这
样你有更好的机会成为NBA 冠军。迈阿密将是最好的地方，他们有很多东西作为回报，
他们有可能使这个交易发生。”
Lillard has not asked for a trade but has said that the Heat and Nets would
appeal to him if he does. Lillard reportedly is giving the Blazers more time
to try to build a championship team.
小李目前尚未寻求交易，但表示热火或篮网在潜在交易上会吸引他。小李据称正给予拓荒
者更多时间，以建构一支冠军队。
短评：
看来焦点要放在“是否能促成小李－萝莉的交易”了?
