If and when the Sonics return to Seattle, could Kevin Durant come back, too?
如果Seattle有新球隊，KD會去嗎？
Could Kevin Durant one day return to Seattle as a Sonics player?
KD有可能某一天回到西雅圖成為超音速球隊的一員嗎？
“Who knows?” Durant told Bill Simmons on the latest episode of his podcast.
「誰知道呢？」KD在最近接受Bill Simmons訪問時說到。
Yeah, there’s still the little semantic issue of bringing the Sonics back to
Seattle. But, Durant has made it clear time and time again, he loves this
city, and he misses hooping here.
是啦，西雅圖是否會有新球隊還在未定之天，但是KD不只一次說到，他喜愛西雅圖這城
市，他想念在這邊打球的感覺。
Last year, he renovated a public court at Seattle’s Powell Barnett Park, and
professed his love for the city he once called home, wondering what might
have been had the Sonics not moved.
去年，他翻新了一個西雅圖市立公園的公共籃球場，他那時表示他對西雅圖這曾經他稱為
是家的城市的愛，也曾想過若是超音速若是沒搬家的話，歷史會變成如何。
“I think about it all the time,” Durant told Sports Illustrated’s Chris
Ballard. “Being here with the fans, the community, the leaders here in
Seattle, they all embrace the team and the players. I can imagine growing up
here. I was 19 when I started, so growing up here definitely would’ve been
amazing. I would’ve really called this city home.”
「我無時無刻不在想這件事，」KD告訴運動畫刊記者。「在這裡跟球迷在一起，跟這個大
家庭一起，跟這城市的大家一起，他們都對球隊與球員非常包容。我可以想像在這裡成長
的感覺。我開始打球的時候是19歲，所以若是可以在這邊成長會是充滿驚奇的。我可以把
西雅圖稱做家的。」
In June, he attended Hoopfest in Spokane, where he called his year in Seattle
“one of the best years of my life.”
在今年6月，他參加了一個在華盛頓州東邊城市Spokane的三對三籃球活動，當時他說在西
雅圖的那年是「他人生中最棒的其中一年」。
And this week, Durant appeared on the the Ringer’s Bill Simmons’ podcast to
talk hoops. Here’s what he said when the Sonics came up:
在這一週，KD接受了Bill Simmons的訪問，談到有關籃球跟超音速的事情。
Bill: “When did you know the Sonics were leaving?”
Bill:「你什麼時候知道超音速要搬家的？」
Kevin: “Late June. Somebody called me and was like, ‘We’re moving to
Oklahoma City.'”
KD：「六月底，有個人打電話給我跟我說，『我們要搬到奧克拉荷馬市去了。』」
Bill: “If Seattle got an expansion team, would you finish your career in
Seattle?”
Bill:「若是西雅圖可以增加球隊，你希望可以在西雅圖退休嗎？」
Kevin: “Good question. Who knows? I feel like they deserved to see me grow
up in the league, you know what I’m saying? As far as me being drafted there.
”
KD：「好問題，誰知道呢？我覺得他們有權利看到我如何在聯盟成長茁壯的，你知道嗎？
至少我一開始選秀是被西雅圖選走的。」
Bill: “That was pretty terrible for a variety of reasons. You lose your
team, you lose a team that won the title, but then you also lose Durant and
Westbrook.”
Bill:「從很多方面來看，失去超音速對西雅圖是很悲慘的。球隊沒了，而且是曾經贏得西
區冠軍的球隊，也失去了KD跟龜龜。」
Kevin: “You feel for them when it comes to that, but you never know what
happens on the ends of the business side of stuff. Who knows what went on
with that. But from a fan’s standpoint, seeing us that first year and seeing
the start, that’s when (GM Sam Presti) first got there. I feel like they
deserve to see some of that through a little bit.”
KD：「你可以與他們感同身受，但是你永遠不會知道從生意觀點事情會如何變化。但是從
球迷的觀點，看到我們第一年的表現，那是球隊總管Sam Presti剛到的時候。我認為西雅
圖的人們有權利看到更多這樣的經驗。」
