Report: Anthony Davis Plans to Play for Pelicans Before NBA Trade Deadline
Anthony Davis計畫在交易大限前可以上場比賽
Anthony Davis might not be moved by the NBA's Feb. 7 trade deadline, but if
the star has his way, he won't have played his last game with the New Orleans
Pelicans.
Anthony Davis或許在2/7交易大限前不會離開。但是若是讓AD自己決定的話，他還沒為鵜
鶘打他的最後一場比賽。
Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe of ESPN.com reported Thursday that Davis
"does plan to play for the Pelicans again" ahead of the deadline. That news
comes on the heels of Wednesday's reporting from the New York Times' Marc
Stein, who said the Pelicans are considering shutting Davis down for the
remainder of the season if they don't trade him before the deadline.
根據ESPN沃神跟Zach Lowe在星期四報導，AD在交易大限前"仍有計畫替鵜鶘打球"。這消息
是在星期三紐約時報Marc Stein報導鵜鶘考慮若是在交易大限前沒把AD交易走的話，會讓
他剩下比賽都不會上場的消息之後出現。
They have yet to make a decision either way, but that could be a beneficial
arrangement for both sides. The Pelicans are all but eliminated from playoff
contention, and Davis has a long injury history. Neither the Pelicans nor
Davis would want to run the risk of him getting injured while playing in a
meaningless game.
目前還沒有決定會是如何，但是對雙方來說都是有好處的。鵜鶘已經接近淘汰邊緣，AD也
有傷病史。鵜鶘球團跟AD都不想因為沒有意義的比賽而去冒受傷的風險。
Davis informed New Orleans over the weekend that he would not sign a contract
extension with the organization and wishes to be traded, according to
Wojnarowski.
在上周末AD通知鵜鶘球團他不會簽延長合約，想被交易出去。
"Anthony wants to be traded to a team that allows him a chance to win
consistently and compete for a championship," Davis' agent, Rich Paul, told
Wojnarowski on Monday. "Anthony wanted to be honest and clear with his
intentions, and that's the reason for informing them of this decision now.
That's in the best interests of both Anthony's and the organization's future."
「AD想要被交易到一個可以贏球，可以有冠軍競爭力的球隊，」AD的經紀人Rich Paul在星
期一跟沃神說。「AD想要真心的面對他的內在意願，所以這就是他決定現在要跟球團告知
的原因。這對AD跟球隊來說都是最好的方式。」
The Pelicans acknowledged Davis' trade request but said they would move at
their own pace and not at the behest of "those outside of our organization."
They may want to hold onto Davis beyond the trade deadline to see how the
draft lottery plays out or to await an offer from the Boston Celtics, who
cannot acquire Davis until July 1 unless they trade Kyrie Irving.
鵜鶘球團收到AD的交易請求，不過他們說他們會按照自己的步調，不會因為其他"外在因
素"所影響。他們會把AD留到交易大限後，看看樂透籤的狀況，或者就是等等看，看青賽會
給甚麼樣的交易內容，因為青賽若是沒把Kyrie Irving交易走的話，他們要等到7/1才能拿
到AD。
If the Celtics are willing to part ways with Jayson Tatum as the centerpiece
of a package for Davis, they can likely cobble together the best potential
offer.
如果青賽若是為了AD，願意放棄Jayson Tatum把他放進交易包的話，他們是可以拼湊出最
有潛力的交易內容的。
There's no logical reason for the Pelicans to continue playing Davis if he
remains in New Orleans beyond the trade deadline. Since they'll be heading
for a rebuild, getting as many pingpong balls in the lottery as possible
should be their top priority. Winning the Zion Williamson lottery would be a
huge step in the Pelicans' rebuilding process, and Davis being on the floor
lowers their chances of losing games.
對於鵜鶘來說，如果在交易大限前AD還在隊上，沒有理由讓AD繼續上場打。既然他們已經
要開始重建，對他們來說，要拿到樂透好籤才是最重要的。若是可以抽到Zion
Williamson的話，這對他們的重建會是重要的一步，而AD在場上打球則是會降低他們輸球
的機率。
