Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Pistons have
engaged the Sacramento Kings in trade discussions this week that would
potentially land Josh Smith in the same Sacramento frontcourt as DeMarcus
Cousins and Rudy Gay.
本周二據熟悉情況的消息人士透露，活塞隊本周已經展開與國王隊討論交易Josh Smith的
事宜了，國王會想把Smith拿去搭前場的DeMarcus Cousins和Rudy Gay。
Sources say that Smith being swapped in exchange for the combination of
Sacramento's Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams is one trade construction
that the teams have discussed. Although one source insisted Tuesday that no
deal is imminent, another source told ESPN.com that the teams have continued
to exchange proposals, with Williams potentially being replaced by another
Kings player such as Jason Terry or Carl Landry.
消息人士說，用Smith交換國王的Jason Thompson和Derrick Williams包裹是其中一個
被討論的交易方案。雖然一位消息人士透露這樁交易並沒有迫在眉睫，而另一位消息人士
則告訴ESPN，國王與活塞仍持續在討論交易提案，Derrick Williams可能會被替換成Jason
Terry或Carl Landry其他籌碼。
Skeptics will inevitably question whether the Kings should indeed take the
gamble of trying to fit Smith in alongside Cousins and Gay, especially with
three years and $40.5 million remaining on Smith's contract from the Pistons
last summer and in the wake of his struggles playing alongside Detroit big
men Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe.
有論者會質疑國王不應該賭在Smith身上，特別是Smith還有三年4050萬的合約，加上他
曾和Andre Drummond和Greg Monroe搭檔時打得很掙扎.
Sources say that the Kings, though, have been giving the swap serious
consideration, largely because the deal would not cost them any players in
their long-term plans and would also add a versatile and athletic defender to
a roster that badly needs one, answering coach Mike Malone's call for more
help on that end.
消息人士說，國王一直認真考慮這樁交易成行的可能性，主要是因為這樁交易不會損失
他們陣中那些在長期計劃裡的球員，而且還會補強陣容非常需要的一位多功能和機動型的
防守者，此正好回應總教練Mike Malone的需求。
Another potential bonus is Smith's close relationship with Boston Celtics
point guard Rajon Rondo, whom Sacramento has reportedly been targeting in
trade talks for some time.
這樁交易另一個潛在原因是Smith和塞爾提克隊的Rajon Rondo麻吉的關係，Rondo據稱一直
是國王鎖定的目標。
One source said that the Kings' focus, for the moment, is Thursday's draft
and perhaps swinging a trade involving the No. 8 overall pick. As ESPN.com's
Andy Katz reported Monday, Sacramento is in negotiations with multiple teams
when it comes to moving that pick.
一位消息人士說國王目前的焦點是本周四的選秀會，也許會把#8選秀籤會放入之後的交易
包裹裡，據ESPN的記者Andy Katz周一表示，國王已經和很多支球隊討論過交易#8選秀籤的
事宜。
