Los Angeles Lakers: 5 Potential Line-Ups for 2015-16
by Jacob Rude
Despite how it might seem, the Los Angeles Lakers are positioned nicely for
the future (under the assumption they keep their draft pick). With two
first-round picks, cap flexibility, and some young talent to build around,
the future might not be so dim as the Lakers will seemingly turn a corner
this off-season.
儘管湖人現狀很糟，但是他們的未來性看起來不錯(前提是留住手中的選秀權)。
靠著兩個首輪選秀、薪資空間靈活度以及一些值得培養的年輕球員，
湖人的命運有可能會在今夏得到扭轉。
Going into this off-season, the NBA Draft is a key factor in the rebuild. Not
only do the Lakers need to retain their pick, but these picks will shape and
define that future. Get them right and you (potentially) have seven players
within their first two years together next season. Get them wrong and you’ve
stunted the growth of the franchise.
今年休賽期，選秀是重建過程中關鍵的一步。湖人不只要留住手中的選秀籤，
還必須確保選到的新秀能夠重點培養和保障球隊未來。
At the same time, the Lakers’ cap flexibility lets them not only aim for the
likes of Marc Gasol and LaMarcus Aldridge, but younger players like Jimmy
Butler or Tobias Harris, who could join the potential youth movement with the
Lakers.
與此同時，湖人今夏擁有大量的薪資空間可以去追求大牌球員，
像是：Marc Gasol、LaMarcus Aldridge...等等，
甚至年輕的球員像Jimmy Butler 或 Tobias Harris也在湖人追求的名單上頭。
