The Lakers, Jazz, and Timberwolves are engaging in discussions on a potential
three-team trade that would send Mike Conley to Minnesota, D’Angelo Russell
to Los Angeles, and Russell Westbrook and draft compensation (including a
first-round pick) to Utah, according to Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The
Athletic (Twitter link).
湖人、爵士與灰狼正在討論一個可能的三方交易。此交易將會送Mike Conley去灰狼、
D'Angelo Russell回湖人而Russell Westbrook與選秀權(包含一隻首輪)將會被送去猶他，
根據Shams Charania與Tony Jones的情報。

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported during an appearance on NBA Today
(Twitter video link) that the Lakers were talking to Minnesota about Russell
and says the Wolves would also receive some draft compensation in the deal if
it’s finalized (Twitter link).
ESPN的Adrian Wojnarowski也在NBA Today上的節目談及了此事並說湖人如果交易成形的話
也會將選秀權送至灰狼。

According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link), Jazz swingman Malik
Beasley and Jazz forward Jarred Vanderbilt have been included in versions of
the proposed trade. Charania confirms as much, tweeting that those two
players would end up with the Lakers.
Yahoo的Jake Fischer則補充爵士搖擺人Malik Beasley與前鋒Jarred Vanderbilt也會被包
到這交易裡面。Shams也證實了這件事這些人將會被送至湖人。

The three teams continue to negotiate and are working through draft picks and
pick protections, sources tell The Athletic. Wojnarowski cautions that the
Jazz remain engaged in other trade discussions involving Conley, so it’s not
a sure thing that this three-team swap will be completed.
這三隊還在持續協商中並在討論選秀權與選秀保護的事宜。Woj也警告這個交易爵士也在
其他交易中談論到Conley因此這三方交易仍不確定會不會成行。
Veteran point guards Conley, Russell, and Westbrook have all been involved in
trade rumors for much of the 2022/23 season. Russell and Westbrook are on
expiring contracts and haven’t engaged in serious extension talks to remain
with their current teams beyond this year; Conley has a partially guaranteed
contract for next season, but may not have a place in the rebuilding Jazz’s
future.
老將控衛Conley、Russell與Westbrook參與了今年眾多的交易傳聞中。Russell與
Westbrook的合約都即將到期且都還沒談論任何劉隊的續約。Conley明年則是部分保障但他
已經不是爵士重建的未來。
The Lakers have explored possible Westbrook trades since last offseason, but
have thus far been unwilling to include the kind of draft capital it would
take to move off his $47MM+ cap hit and acquire multiple reliable rotation
players in return.
湖人自從上個修賽季以來就一直在探索Westbrook交易的選項且不願意加入選秀權來清掉這
張47M的大約並想獲得紮實的輪替球員做為報酬。
Due to restrictions affecting earlier picks, L.A. can only currently trade
its first-rounders for 2027 and 2029. It’s unclear whether the team would
give up both of those picks in this proposed deal, but it’s safe to assume
at least one would be included, since the trade would provide the Lakers with
two strong outside shooters in Russell and Beasley, along with a versatile
wing and frontcourt defender in Vanderbilt, addressing two of the club’s
biggest needs.
因為選秀規則的限制，湖人只能動27與29的選秀權，目前該隊會不會放棄這些選秀權仍不
明朗。但是我們可以預設至少一個會被送走因為這交易將會給湖人兩名很好的外圍球員
Beasely與Russell與多功能的前場防守者Vanderbilt。這滿足了湖人的需求。
Russell, of course, is a former Laker, having been selected second overall by
the franchise in the 2015 draft.
The Timberwolves, meanwhile, may view Conley as a better fit in their
backcourt alongside rising star Anthony Edwards than Russell has been. Conley
also has experience playing with Rudy Gobert and could potentially help
unlock more of his potential in Minnesota. Besides the on-court fit, having
Conley under contract for next season would allow the Wolves to head into the
summer without having to worry about negotiating a new contract for their
starting point guard.
Russell曾經待過湖人隊且曾為該隊2015的榜眼。
灰狼隊同時視Conley為更加適合該隊與Anthony Edwards配合的後場選項。Conley也有與
Rudy Gobert一起打球的經驗而被認為能更大解放灰狼的潛力。除了場上適性，Conley不需
要煩惱延長續約的事宜。
As for the Jazz, they would likely buy out Westbrook if they move forward on
this trade, as Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report confirms (via Twitter), so the
motivation on Utah’s end would be to cash in veterans for future draft picks
as the team continues its rebuilding process.
而爵士他們應該會買斷Westbrook(Chris Haynes)，所以爵士的動機就是現金考量與選秀權
來繼續他們的重建大業。
Russell:欸不是 怎麼又是你們兩個
Conley:狗貝好久不見欸
