David Griffin says ‘there is reason to be optimistic’ that Anthony Davis
could be open minded to staying with Pelicans
鵜鶘GM David Griffin說 他們對於Anthony Davis續留鵜鶘 "有理由保持樂觀"
New Orleans Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David
Griffin believes “there is reason to be optimistic” that superstar big man
Anthony Davis could be open minded to staying in New Orleans.
鵜鶘球團營運執行副總監David Griifin相信，鵜鶘明星Anthony Davis對於留在鵜鶘打球
可能會保持開放的態度這件事，「他們有理由保持樂觀。」
Davis requested a trade from the Pelicans before the February trade deadline.
New Orleans opted not to trade him and it’s widely assumed they will try and
trade him again this summer.
Davis在今年二月交易大限前喊出吹密，後來鵜鶘決定不交易他，不過普遍認為他們今年夏
天應該會再次啟動交易Davis。
Griffin, though, is staying positive, citing his relationship with Davis’
agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports. Paul, of course, represents Los Angeles
Lakers star LeBron James. The King and Griffin won the 2016 championship
together with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
不過，Griffin保持積極的想法，提到他跟Davis的經紀人Rich Paul的好交情，Rich Paul
同時也是LBJ的經紀人。LBJ跟Griffin在2016年率領騎士拿下當年NBA總冠。
“But I look at the situation with very good optimism and the reason is I
have a very good working relationship with Rich Paul,” Griffin said on ESPN’
s The Jump. “I think there’s going to be appreciation on his part for the
fact that I would not have come here if it wasn’t for the fact that Mrs.
Benson and her ownership team weren’t completely committed to winning. They
very much are. Because of that, I think some of the concerns that Anthony
probably had, we’re going to be able to alleviate.
「我看待這件事情的態度是非常樂觀的，理由是我跟Rich Paul有非常好的工作關係，」
Griffin說到。「我認為對於他的付出，大家是有看到的，也因為如此，要不是鵜鶘老闆
Benson以及球團經營團也是想要贏球的信念，我是不會來到鵜鶘工作的，他們真心想贏。
因此，我認為Anthony或許對球隊有一些考慮，但是我們應該可以把他的疑慮給消除的。」
“I feel like there is reason to be optimistic that he’s going to be open
minded to coming back. But the real question is, what does it look like and
can we give each other what we really need and be the sort of expression of
greatness for one another. I hope that we can. But it’s certainly not
something we believe can’t happen.”
「我覺得，他對於下季續留鵜鶘打球是保持開放態度這件事，我們是有理由樂觀的。而真
正的問題是，球隊將來會是怎樣的狀況，以及我們是不是能彼此給對方所需要的東西，然
後都表現出某種程度上的偉大。我希望我們可以做到，而我們相信這是可能發生的。」
Davis has one year left on his contract with the Pelicans. The All-Star said
at his end-of-the-season press conference he’s aware he could be back with
the Pelicans next season.
Davis跟鵜鶘還有一年約，而這全明星在季末記者會上表示他有意識到下一季可能還會回鵜
鶘打球。
The Lakers and Boston Celtics are the two teams everyone expects to reach out
to the Pelicans this summer regarding a Davis trade.
湖人跟青賽是目前大家認為在今年夏天會想跟鵜鶘交易來Davis的兩支隊伍。
