Paul George admits he would have joined the Lakers if Pacers had not traded
him to Thunder
Paul George承認若是溜馬沒把他交易去雷霆 他就會加入湖人了
Looks like the Indiana Pacers should apologize to the Los Angeles Lakers.
看起來溜馬欠湖人一個道歉了。
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George told ESPN's The Undefeated he
always intended to join the Lakers if he played out his contract with the
Pacers. Then he was traded to Oklahoma City for Victor Oladipo and Domantas
Sabonis, and things changed.
雷霆前鋒Paul George告訴ESPN記者說如果依照他的合約跟溜馬走完的話，他一直都想加入
湖人的。但是在被交易到雷霆後，一切都改變了。
"It wasn't overstated," George said. "I wanted to play in L.A. That is where
I wanted to go. Had that trade never went down, had I played one more year in
Indy, I would have been in a Lakers uniform."
「這沒有言過其實，」PG說。「我想在LA打球，那裡是我想去的地方。若是那交易沒成，
我在溜馬再打一年，我現在可能穿的是湖人的制服。」
The Lakers picked up LeBron James, Lance Stephenson and more this past
offseason. And George sounds like he's happy with Russell Westbrook and a new
four-year, $137 million contract extension.
然後湖人在休賽季選了LBJ，Lance Stephenson跟其他一些球員。然後PG聽起來他跟
Russell Westbrook相處愉快，也對於新的4年1億3700萬鎂的延長合約感到開心。
But again the Lakers will wonder, what if? What if they gambled like Thunder
general manager Sam Presti?
但是湖人還是會懷疑，若是事情不是那樣走? 若是他們跟雷霆總管Sam Presti一樣賭一把
呢？
"Going toward the summer and going toward free agency, I kind of had my mind
made up talking with the team, talking with Russ and talking with the
front-office," George said. "I kind of felt good where we were at.
「到了夏天的時候講到我的FA，我差不多就已經下定決心要跟我的隊談，跟Russ談，跟制
服組談，」PG說。「我對我跟大家所在的環境覺得很好。」
"Last (season), I didn't get a chance to start with this team fresh. I got
traded late. So I picked up things late with the team. I wanted to get to it
right away this time and start creating early."
「上一季我沒有機會跟這個隊伍從很早就一起訓練，因為我很晚才交易過來。所以到了比
較後面才跟大家一起訓練，今年我想馬上開始，早點與大家一起訓練。」
