RUMOR: Lakers focusing on improving roster through free agency, not trades
乳摸: 湖人會專注在簽FA而不是交易球員來改善球員名單
The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly made it known to coaching candidates
they are planning to improve the roster this summer via free agency rather
than trades, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.
據ESPN的Dave McMenamin報導，湖人球團讓來面試的教練候選人了解他們今年夏天會藉由
簽FA的方式，而不是用交易球員的做法，來改善目前的球員名單。
The Lakers will have around $38 million to spend in free agency this summer.
Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler and Kawhi Leonard will all become
unrestricted free agents this offseason.
湖人今年夏天有3800萬鎂可以花在FA上面。Kevin Durant，Kyrie Irving，Jimmy Butler
跟Kawhi Leonard今夏都會成為非受限FA。
“I’ve heard that some of the discussion that the coaching candidates have
had with Lakers management has been (directed) more-so towards their plans
for free agency this summer versus their plans to change their roster via
trade,” McMenamin said on ESPN LA 710’s The Sedano Show, via Silver Screen
and Roll.
「我有聽到一些目前湖人教練候選人跟湖人球團的討論，湖人球團目前比較傾向是用簽FA
的方式來改善目前的球員名單，而不會用球員交易的方式，」McMenamin在ESPN節目上說
到。
“And so, if they’re not going to go for a roster-shaping trade this year
and it’s gotta be through free agency… you either show up or you don’t.
And if you don’t, the consequence is: It could create a really tough
situation to live in if you’re LeBron James. So I think precarious is the
best way to describe (the situation).”
「如果他們是不走改變整個名單的交易包方式，而是要走簽FA的路，這樣的話，就是一翻
兩瞪眼了。如果沒簽到FA，結果就是：球團將會搞了一個LBJ很難忍受的狀態，所以我認為
他們現在的狀況很危險。」
The Lakers will probably try and trade for New Orleans Pelicans superstar
Anthony Davis, but by all accounts, the Pelicans don’t want to trade Davis
to the Lakers.
湖人大概還是會試著交易看看能否從鵜鶘那裡交易到Anthony Davis，但是從各種跡象看
來，鵜鶘就是不想把AD給湖人。
Durant and Irving have been linked to joining the New York Knicks together.
Leonard, meanwhile, has been linked to joining the Clippers.
KD跟KI兩個都已經被跟紐約尼克連結在一起，可愛則是被跟快艇連在一塊討論。
There have been rumors that Butler wants to play for the Lakers, though.
不過，有乳摸說到Butler想為湖人打球。
