Jimmy Butler Says He Plans to Retire from the NBA Before He's 35 Years Old
Jimmy Butler說他計畫在35歲前從NBA退休
Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler is still in his prime but doesn't plan
to remain in the NBA for too many more seasons.
費城76人後衛Jimmy Butler還在他的巔峰期，但是他沒有計畫要在NBA待太久。
After the 29-year-old was asked Tuesday about how his body would hold up at
35, he provided a somewhat surprising response.
星期二的時候，29歲的Butler被問到若是他35歲的時候，他的身體狀況會如何? 他給了一
個讓人驚訝的答案。
"I don't plan on playing this game when I'm 35 years old," Butler said, per
Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "So I'm not even worried about
that. I'll be done with this game before I'm 35."
「我沒計畫在35歲的時候我還在這裡打球，」Butler說。「所以我沒想到35歲的時候的身
體狀況，我在35歲前就不會再繼續打球了。」
Butler was also noncommittal about how long exactly he will play.
Butler對於他真的要打多久並沒有講的很明確。
"That's between me and whatever I tell myself later on," he added. "But, I'm
telling you right now, 35, I'm trying to be done before then."
「那要看之後我自己的評估，」他說。「但是，我現在可以跟你說的就是35歲，我會試著
在那之前就退休。」
This could create some interesting decisions as the four-time All-Star
potentially prepares for free agency this offseason.
這對於四屆全明星在這季結束後FA要去哪裡就創造出很多有趣的決定了。
As Pompey noted, Butler can sign a five-year, $190-million max contract with
the 76ers next summer, which would keep him under contract through his age-34
season.
據記者Pompey報導，Butler可以在下一季跟76人簽下五年1億9000萬的頂薪約，那合約會跨
到他34歲。
Otherwise, the wing could either pick up his option for $19.8 million in
2019-20 or decline the option and hit free agency in the offseason.
不然的話，他也可以執行他的選擇權，2019-20拿1980萬鎂；或者拒絕執行選擇權，成為
FA，季後跳進市場。
In any case, his limited remaining playing time could factor into a team
giving him a long-term deal, especially if he believes his level of play will
diminish in his final seasons.
不管是哪種狀況，他有限的打球時間將會讓球隊在考慮給他長約的時候有所考量，尤其他
認為他自己在他最後的幾年打球程度會衰退的狀況下。
Butler has played at a high level since being traded to Philadelphia,
averaging 18.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in 20 appearances, but his
future is suddenly a major question mark.
Butler在被交易到76人後表現持續高檔，20場出賽，場均18.1分，4.6個籃板，但是他的未
來突然出現了一個大問號。
