Rumors: Timberwolves not interested in Celtics’ trade package for Love
When Minnesota Timberwolves’ star power forward Kevin Love took a trip to
Boston over the weekend, the rumors began to spin.
上周末Kevin Love去拜訪了波士頓後，交易謠言就開始發酵了。
The Boston Celtics, like every other team, would love to get their hands on
Love and several reports indicate that Love would love to play for the
Celtics. Of course, trading for Love won’t be easy. According to Jackie
MacMullen of ESPN Boston, the Timberwolves aren’t all that interested in
what the Celtics have to offer.
就像其他球隊一樣，塞爾提克很樂意張開雙手迎接Love，據說Love本人也樂意替塞爾提克
效力，但想要得到Love不是一件易事，ESPN的記者Jackie MacMullen透露，灰狼對塞爾
提克的報價沒有興趣。
There’s only one problem with all these dizzying (and highly speculative)
scenarios: They are meaningless unless the first domino — Love actually
coming to Boston — falls. According to team and league sources, that isn’t
happening any time soon because the Timberwolves are less than enamored with
what Boston can offer them…
這些令人眼花撩亂(及高度推測性)的交易方案存在一個問題：除非Love本人確實願意去
塞爾提克的前提是真的，否則那些推論都是沒有意義的。根據球隊和聯盟的消息，灰狼
和塞爾提克的交易不會馬上發生，因為灰狼對塞爾提克的報價沒什麼興趣...
…The No. 6 pick isn’t quite so sexy. The Celtics can offer only some
combination of that pick and the following: the valuable future Brooklyn
picks, the 17th pick this year, Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk, Jeff Green,
Brandon Bass, Keith Bogans’ expiring $5.05 million contract (if they can do
it before July 1).
塞爾提克的第六順位選秀簽不是那麼迷人，塞爾提克只能提供第六順位選秀簽和以下籌碼
組合：來自籃網隊的未來選秀權、塞爾提克今年的17順位選秀簽、Jared Sullinger、
Kelly Olynyk、Jeff Green、Brandon Bass和Keith Bogans的505萬的到期約(假如能在7/1
前處理掉的話)
In other words, pretty much anything Minnesota wants.
換言之，灰狼還想要更多東西。
The Timberwolves privately maintain they already have fielded better offers
from other teams, among them the Chicago Bulls, who can offer draft picks and
some combination of Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson along with Carlos Boozer,
whose bloated $16.8 million contract expires next summer and represents the
kind of cap space rebuilding teams crave.
灰狼私下宣稱他們已經收到其他球隊更好的報價，像是公牛隊，他們願意提供選秀權
和Jimmy Butler、Taj Gibson和Carlos Boozer的組合，Boozer的1680萬的合約明年
夏天就到期了，這是重建球隊希望能拿到的薪資空間。
Love averaged 26.1 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game last season
while shooting 45.7% from the field, 37.6% from three and 82.1% from the
charity stripe.
Love去年賽季可繳出場均得分26.1分、12.5個籃板和4.4次助攻的數據，FG命中率為45.7%
三分球命中率為37.6%、罰球命中率為82.1%。
