While trade rumors continue to swirl around Oklahoma City Thunder star point
guard Russell Westbrook, the Thunder's "primary offseason objective" is still
to try and get Westbrook to renegotiate and extend his contract so he doesn't
hit free agency next summer, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
If successful, Woj reports the Thunder would swing for the fences by trying
to sign Oklahoma native Blake Griffin to pair with Westbrook.
雖然目前為止有許多流言說雷霆隊有可能把Westbrook交易掉
但是依照Woj的消息指出, 雷霆隊的主要目標還是要留下Westbrook當基石
然後試著圍繞著他來打造一支可以爭冠的球隊
首先, 雷霆隊會試著先去把OKC出生的Blake Griffin當首要目標來跟Westbrook搭配
The question of Westbrook's future with the Thunder became a hot topic in the
immediate aftermath of Kevin Durant's decision to join the Golden State
Warriors. Initial reports stated Westbrook has little intention of extending
his contract in Oklahoma City this summer, but the Thunder have reportedly
been in regular contact with him and his agent since Durant's July 4
decision. They're hoping to change Westbrook's mind on the matter.
從KD選擇了勇士以來
Westbrook的未來走向一直是一個很熱門的話題
一開始有消息指出, Westbrook對於明年跟雷霆的續約不是那麼有興趣
但是雷霆隊一直很主動頻繁的跟Westbrook接觸
希望可以改變Westbrook的心意
While Westbrook has yet to make any type of commitment to Oklahoma City, Woj
reports the Thunder have been rebuffing teams that have reached out about a
possible trade for the star guard. Oklahoma City also just rescinded the
qualifying offer for guard Dion Waiters, a move that was done in order to
save cap space for a potential Westbrook renegotiation.
雖然說Westbrook目前為止沒有答應OKC任何事情
但是OKC是回絕了所有來找他們交易Westbrook的提案
另外OKC也撤銷了對於Dion Waiters的報價
來保持足夠的薪資空間可以跟Westbrook重新談合約
Though it is usually more lucrative financially for players to wait until
free agency, the Vertical's Bobby Marks recently explained that a short-term
commitment to the Thunder through 2017-18 would make some sense for
Westbrook. Waiting until 2018 to hit free agency would bump the guard up to a
"Tier 3 max player" because he would have 10 years of service, making him
eligible for a maximum contract worth roughly 35 percent of the cap.
通常一般來說成為自由球員再去談新的合約是可以簽到比較大的合約
不過以Westbrook的現狀來講, 如果先簽一個短約, 到了2018年的時候
Westbrook就可以簽一個聯盟上限的最大約
所以如果現在Westbrook同意續約一個短約,
未來是可以拿到比較多錢的
This would also give the Thunder more time to attempt to build a title
contender around Westbrook, so he'd then feel compelled to make a long-term
commitment. Westbrook is reportedly a fan of the young talent already on the
roster, but more is needed to get back to title contention level. That is
where the chase for Griffin comes in. Griffin isn't on the same level as
Durant, but a Westbrook-Griffin duo would be devastating in its own right and
would vault Oklahoma City back up near the top of the Western Conference.
Of course, actually signing Griffin is much easier said than done:
這個舉動也可以讓OKC有更足夠的時間跟空間去打造一個更有競爭力的球隊
這樣對Westbrook來說, 也比較有簽長約的吸引力
Westbrook對於目前隊中的年輕戰力非常滿意
但是也希望可以回到有競爭力的層級中
這也讓爭取Blake Griffin 變的合理
雖然說 BG跟KD不是同一個檔次
但是至少身手也是很不錯
但當然啦 要簽下BG說的比做的簡單
