Lakers Trade Rumors: Spurs Have ‘High Threshold’ For Kawhi Leonard Trade
The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly had their sights set on San Antonio Spu
rs forward Kawhi Leonard, hoping to work a trade for the disgruntled former Fi
nals MVP.
湖人把目標鎖定在交易來可愛已經不是第一天的新聞，希望透過交易來獲得這位前總決賽
MVP。
Leonard made it known that he wants to be traded, with a move back to his home
town of Los Angeles being his preference. However, the Spurs have not been ver
y accommodating of the request up to this point.
可愛明確表態他想要被交易，並且更希望自己被交易到他的家鄉球隊我湖。儘管如此，馬
刺似乎並沒有把可愛的這個要求放在眼裡。
They intend to remain patient in order to get top dollar for him, though at so
me point they will almost certainly have to pull the trigger and severe what h
as become a broken relationship.
馬刺想要繼續保持耐心，以得到最好的交易包裹。但是在未來的某個時刻馬刺幾乎確定是
會口動交易扳機，為這段破裂的關係劃下一個難堪的句號。
During an appearance on ESPN, Adrian Wojnarowski explained the Spurs have high
expectations if they are going to part with Leonard:
沃神在ESPN的節目上表示，馬刺對於交易走可愛的期望門檻，依然很高：
“The Spurs have a threshold and it is very high for a Kawhi Leonard deal. The
y’re not giving him away. They’re going to be willing to walk away from this
frenzied period of free agency and still try to play the long game. Maybe try
to repair that relationship (by) offering that $219 million supermax contract
. Right now, Boston, Philly and the Lakers have all shown interest but no one
has made it easy for the Spurs to just say yes and do a deal.”
「馬刺交易可愛的門檻依然高得嚇人。他們不會輕易把可愛送走。他們並不介意在目前瘋
狂的FA市場開市的時間點一無所獲，並且持續嘗試想要和想交易他的球隊打持久戰。甚至
透過給可愛一份5y/219M的頂薪合約，來嘗試修補和可愛那段破裂的關係。截至目前為止
，青賽，76人，湖人，都對於交易得到可愛表達出了興趣。但是還沒有任何一隻球隊給出
令馬刺滿意點頭說好的包裹。」
For the Lakers, the question is do they surrender assets in order to trade for
Leonard now or do they wait for him to become a free agent in 2019 and then p
ursue him.
對於湖人來說，現在最重要的問題就是，究竟要現在全梭換可愛，還是要繼續等等到明年
可愛變成FA，再把可愛裸簽下來即可。
Patience didn’t pay off with Paul George, who ultimately decided to remain wi
th the Oklahoma City Thunder after requesting a trade to Los Angeles last summ
er.
耐心這檔事並沒有在PG的事情上得到任何回報。他最終決定繼續留在俄城背龜殼，儘管上
賽季開始前曾經要求自己被交易到湖人隊。
However, if the Spurs are asking for too much, then the Lakers may be better o
ff hanging on to young assets like Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma.
Los Angeles may be operating that way as their recent trade offers are said to
have been underwhelming.
但是，要是馬刺隊獅子大開口，那麼湖人還是默默收手比較好。保住如球哥、IG、褲子馬
等球隊重要資產。湖人目前看來應該是會這麼做。目前的消息顯示湖人之前的交易包裹價
值太低，不足以打動胃口大的馬刺隊。
There could be a middle ground somewhere that would satisfy both teams, but th
at hasn’t been reached at this point.
或許這中間有一個中間值，是對於兩隊來說都是很滿意的結果，只是目前為止兩隊並沒有
走到這一步。
短評心得：
各位看官莫急，還是好好留著現在的陣容打就好。明年可愛要是跟PG一樣沒來就算了，至
少還有這些潛力年輕人等著發光發熱！但是現在詹皇在我湖，對於明年FA的招募來說絕對
是一大助力，應該不會再和往年面臨竹籃打水一場空的窘境了。
