Former Denver Nuggets point guard Chauncey Billups thinks that current
Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson should be traded. Billups appeared on 104.3 The
Fan in Denver on Thursday and explained why:
近日在接受丹佛當地電台採訪時，
前金塊球星Chauncey Billups表示，金塊應該把Ty Lawson交易走，他也解釋了為什麼...
Do the Nuggets have to move on from Ty Lawson?
Q：金塊必須要交易掉Ty Lawson嗎？
Yes. I think so. I mean, well, one, Ty, he has not demonstrated what you want
from the leader of your team and a guy who they've handed the keys to. He's
not demonstrated the kind of leadership that you want. And you have a young
kid named [Emmanuel] Mudiay coming in who I think has a chance to be a star
in this league. Right now the best player on the team is Ty Lawson. As a
young player in the league, you come in 19-20 years old, you oftentimes try
to emulate some of the actions on the floor and off the floor of the best
player because that's one day what you want to be. So I think just from the
standpoint of the welfare of Mudiay and the well-being and the growth of
Mudiay, you have to get Ty Lawson and you have to move him along.
Billups表示：
「是的，我認為是這樣。我的意思是：第一，Lawson並沒有展現出一個領袖應有的樣子，
他沒有展示出你所需要的領導力。而現在你已經有了Mudiay這樣的年輕球員，
我覺得他將來有機會變成聯盟中的明星。
現在，金塊最好的球員是Ty Lawson，作為年輕球員，在19、20歲的年紀進入NBA，
你常會在場上場下模仿你隊內最好的球員，因為他們是有朝一日你想成為的模板。
所以我覺得為了Mudiay將來的成長著想，必須交易走Lawson。」
What would you take for Ty? How desperate are you to make that move?
It's tough. You know, I think he just needs a change of scenery. Obviously
you gotta get proper value for him because he is still a very good player and
I think in the right situation Ty can be good for somebody. But Ty can't be
the leader of your basketball team. I thought they knew that, but you find
out how you find out. But I think you try your best to move him but you don't
want to get beat over the head for him. At the moment right now, he's not
giving everybody a good snapshot of what he is, with the immature things that
he's doing, whether it's social media, the things that he's saying. So you're
looking from the flips side and you're saying, ‘Yeah, the guy's a good
player, but do I really want him on my team with all of that?' You know what
I mean? So it's not just him as a player and what he can do. This is a guy
that's gonna come there, he's not coming to be nobody's backup. He's a
starter. He's a good player. So it's tough what he's doing right now.
這段有點懶得翻，大意是說...
「Billups覺得Lawson需要做出點改變，顯然Lawson依然有很高的價值，
他是一個非常優秀的球員，在合適的環境中他能有優異的表現。
但Lawson卻無法成為一支球隊的領袖，他的一些所作所為、
包含他在社交網路上的言論並沒有給人留下一種好印象。」
(註：此前有消息說金塊打算交易Lawson，而Lawson也曾表示自己想要替小牛打球，
當金塊在選秀大會上選中Emmanuel Mudiay時，Lawson在網路上拍影片說他
認為自己要被送到國王去了)
