Rumor: ‘Almost no appetite’ for final year of Chris Paul’s contract
乳摸: Chris Paul最後一年的合約 "幾乎沒人想接"
The Oklahoma City Thunder received Chris Paul in the blockbuster trade that
sent franchise star Russell Westbrook out of OKC, but to complete this
planned rebuild, the organization must first move Paul to its next
destination. Despite hopes that a move can get done by the start of the
2019-20 season, the Thunder have had a tough time trying to deal Paul, as
there has been nearly “no appetite” for the beefy last year of his
contract, according to Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders.
雷霆在那樁把當家球星Russell Westbrook送走的重磅交易中接手了Chris Paul，但是為了
完成重建，雷霆必須想辦法把Chris Paul給送走。儘管他們希望可以在2019-20球季開始前
完成，但是根據Basketball Insiders記者Steve Kyler報導，雷霆在找交易的下家有著困
難，因為幾乎沒有人想接手Chris Paul最後一年合約。

“Having talked with a few GMs, there is almost no appetite for the final
year of CP3’s deal. My understanding is the Thunder may have to shovel over
several picks to get a team to look at that cap hit. Today, I think he starts
the season in OKC.”
「有跟幾位球團的總管談過，幾乎沒有人想接手CP3最後一年的合約。目前所了解到的是雷
霆大概得要送出幾個籤好讓人願意考慮接手。所以，到目前為止，我認為開季時CP3還是會
在雷霆。」
Paul is slated to make a robust $44.2 million in 2021-22, a season which he
will enter at age 36. Most familiar with the series of hamstring injuries he
has endured through the latter part of his career fear this will be a
lingering problem for the dime maestro, who often depends on his shiftiness
and elusive nature to get around his defenders.
Paul在2021-22賽季會拿到4420萬鎂，那時候他就是36歲了。CP3大腿有著眾所周知的傷病
史在他的生涯後半期，對於這位助攻大師會是個難以擺脫的麻煩，因為他得要靠大腿來做
動作好騙到他的防守者。
While Paul does have a similar deal as Westbrook, the latter is four years
younger and is still in the prime of his career, making it a more manageable
splurge for a franchise, despite his shortcomings and inefficiencies on the
court.
Westbrook跟CP3有類似的合約，但是Westbrook比他年輕四歲，還在生涯的巔峰年，對於球
隊來說，儘管他在場上有些弱點以及缺乏效率，Westbrook還是比較划算。
It will take some severe draft compensation (and potentially cash
considerations) to make a deal for Paul possible, as the market isn’t as
eager on acquiring a star player who likely won’t age well into his contract.
有可能得要附上一些籤(可能還要給現金補償)才有可能交易的掉CP3，因為市場上對於一位
合約到末期體能狀況衰退很快的明星球員並不是那麼有興趣。
