NBA Rumors: Spurs To Trade Tiago Splitter To Make Room For LaMarcus Aldridge?
乳摸:馬刺或交易走Tiago Splitter以爭取LaMarcus Aldridge的空間?
Following an incredible first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles
Clippers, the San Antonio Spurs’ attempt to win back-to-back championships
has officially come to an end. Despite a valiant effort against Chris Paul
and company, the Spurs will head into an off-season filled with uncertainty.
在一個不可思議的首輪季後賽中對抗洛杉磯快艇後，聖安東尼奧馬刺的衛冕嘗試正式
宣告結束。儘管英勇的努力對抗Chris Paul與其戰友，馬刺將進入充滿不確定性的休
賽期。
The Spurs are one of many teams in the league with a roster that could look
drastically different next season. Although San Antonio is known for not
pursuing big-name free agents, the five-time NBA champions appear to have a
great chance of landing Texas native LaMarcus Aldridge this summer.
馬刺是聯盟下一季可能會有大幅變動陣容的許多隊伍之一。儘管聖安東尼奧以不追求
知名自由球員為人所知，這支五次冠軍的隊伍傳出有很大機會將德州出身的LaMarcus
Aldridge在今夏帶回家鄉。
According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Spurs may attempt to trade Tiago
Splitter in order for more financial flexibility in free agency:
根據ESPM的Marc Stein，馬刺可能將試圖交易Tiago Splitter以追求更多的薪資彈性
來追求自由球員:
One scenario on the personnel grapevine gaining steam is the notion that the
Spurs could elect to explore the possibility of dealing away Tiago Splitter
to create more financial flexibility. Splitter has two years left on his
contract valued at just under $17 million and is quietly regarded as a key
contributor in San Antonio given how well he fits as a frontcourt sidekick
next to Duncan. But if you’re the Spurs — and if the increasingly loud
rumbles about Aldridge having San Antonio as the preferred destination atop
his wish list prove true — examining Splitter’s trade market might suddenly
become unavoidable.
一個浮現的個人小道消息是馬刺球團會投票選擇將Tiago Splitter交易走的可能性。
Splitter還有兩年僅一千七百萬美元的合約，且默默被視為聖安東尼奧的關鍵貢獻者
，考量到他在前場於Duncan身旁輔助有多優秀。但如果你是馬刺─且如果關於
Aldridge將聖安東尼奧當作頭號目的地的消息為真的聲浪漸增─檢驗Splitter的交易
市場可能突然變得不可避免。
As of right now, the teams rumored to be interested in Aldridge include the
Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Portland Trail Blazers and Los
Angeles Lakers. Even though the Lakers and Knicks will have the cap space and
attractive destinations in terms of location, the two Texas squad appear to
have the edge moving forward.
就目前來說，傳言對Aldridge有興趣的隊伍包含馬刺、達拉斯小牛、紐約尼克
波特蘭拓荒者和洛杉磯湖人。儘管湖人和尼克會有薪資空間和吸引人的所在地，
兩支德州隊伍顯示更為優先。
The Spurs will be an intriguing option for Aldridge with arguably the best
head coach in the game, Gregg Popovich, intent on returning and the team
still a potential title contender next season. San Antonio will have to
figured out what the immediate future holds for Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili,
as well as locking up Kawhi Leonard long-term, but they’ll still be in good
position regardless to sign Aldridge.
馬刺會是Aldridge一個奇妙的選項，或許是最佳總教練的Gregg Popovich試圖回歸且
隊伍明年仍是一個可能的冠軍爭奪者。聖安東尼奧將必須考慮Tim Duncan和Manu
Ginobili立即的將來以及把Kawhi Leonard綁上長約，但他們顯然仍將處於一個簽下
Aldridge的良好情勢。
短評或心得：
底下的外國湖迷表示湖人可以用Nick Young, Robert Sacre, Tarik Black換Splitter，
因為有短期約，而馬刺需要清理薪資，真是美好的夢想(?) wwwww
PS:另一位外國湖迷提到可以用上將Kelly來換，湖迷愛幻想?
補充一下，Splitter的兩年薪資分別是8.5和8.25百萬。
