KD與KI的最新消息
Trade talks involving Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving remain stagnant even with all the league’s general managers gathered together in Las Vegas, writes Brian Lewis of The New York Post. The Nets are determined to be patient and won’t give up either player without getting what they want in return, Lewis adds.
關於KD與KI的交易仍停滯不前，即使大多數的球隊GM都在拉斯維加斯的夏聯賽場，但籃網無意在拿到理想的報酬之前交易他們。
Lewis describes any Durant discussions as being “just at the talking stage, and likely the not-too-serious kind.” He states that Brooklyn is focused on moving Durant first because the Lakers appear to be the only real market for Irving and the Nets would have to take back Russell Westbrook‘s $47MM salary, which could limit flexibility in a Durant deal.
KD的交易被描述為僅在討論階段，還未正式成案。籃網會優先專注於KD的交易，因為KI的唯一買家需要籃網吞下西河的47M合約，這可能會卡到KD的交易。
Rumors involving the Warriors as a potential landing spot for Durant seem to have cooled, Lewis notes. Stephen Curry addressed the situation indirectly on Saturday, dismissing “the rumor mill” and adding, “I like where we’re at” in terms of the current roster.
之前曾傳出勇士對KD有意，但Curry出面闢謠「謠言流水線」並表示對現況滿意
Here are a few more notes related to Durant and Irving:
重點整理
* No matter what the return is, the Durant era will be remembered as a “catastrophic failure” for Nets management, Lewis adds in a separate piece. Although the process could drag out for weeks or even months, Lewis doesn’t believe speculation that Durant and Irving might eventually play for Brooklyn again or claims that the Raptors wouldn’t part with Scottie Barnes in a Durant deal.
無論交易與否或是如何交易，籃網的制服組在KD事件中已經遭遇了重大的挫折，已經是嚴重的失敗。Lewis不相信KD與KI還會留在籃網陣容，也不認為暴龍的Scottie Barnes真的是非賣品
The Nets and the teams that they’re talking to are all being cautious about putting a Durant trade together, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link), who adds that there’s no guarantee a deal will be reached before the end of Summer League. “If you’re the Nets, you can get a sense of how far some teams are going to go,” Wojnarowski said, “and if you’ve feel like they’ve gone as far as they’re going to go with you, is that good enough for Kevin Durant? Because in any scenario
you’re probably not getting value for Kevin Durant. There’s no deal where you can say, ‘Hey, we’re better for this. It’s just the best you can get. And again with the four years left on his contract, you could wait it out.”
Woj 稱買賣雙方的態度都很謹慎，籃網不保證在夏聯結束前可以完成KD交易。因為在KD的交易很難說他們可以得到最好的包裹，每次看似等價的包裹都不及KD的價值，因為他還有4年約，你還可以等等 （實際上近20年都沒有明星球員在還有超過2年約（無球員選擇權）就喊吹的，AD開吹也是跑倒數第二年的時候。當然34歲的KD跟36歲的KD肯定不是一個價格）
Durant is refusing to listen to recruiting pitches from other players around the league, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports said on a recent Posted Up podcast. Other than occasional posts on Twitter, Durant isn’t in contact with anyone outside of his inner circle, Haynes adds. “Numerous stars have been trying to get in touch with him to pick his brain to see if he would consider other avenues,” Haynes said. “Just want to get a sense of what he’s thinking. … KD has gone dark. He’s not talking to
anybody. Not answering anybody’s phone calls, not responding to texts, KD has gone dark.”
Yahoo評論員在Podcast 表示，KD不接受球員的招募，僅在推特上活動。
The Lakers may be divided over whether to pursue Irving at all, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register said on the The Athletic NBA Show podcast. Goon has heard that LeBron James wants to trade for Irving, but others in the organization would rather use their assets to try to get Buddy Hield and Myles Turner from the Pacers.
湖人在是否交易KI中出現分歧，LBJ希望得到KI;但其他人更鍾意溜馬的8D跟MT
