Thunder will match Trail Blazers' offer sheet for Enes Kanter
(以下取大意翻譯)
The Thunder will match the four-year, $70 million offer sheet restricted free
agent Enes Kanter signed with the Trail Blazers, reports NBA.com's David
Aldridge.
The Thunder always intended to retain Kanter, with general manager Sam Presti
going as far as saying they would match any offers he received. The reason
they didn't sign him outright was to let the market set his price and save
some money in the process. By signing an offer sheet with the Blazers, Kanter
is now locked into 4.5 percent annual raises instead of the 7.5 percent bumps
he would have received if he had signed an extension.
雷霆將跟進報價，拓荒者先前以與Enes Kanter完成70M/4y的協議。雷霆GM:Sam Presti
表示：雷霆一直想留下Enes Kanter，但是雷霆想要讓市場決定Kanter的價格，而雷霆也獲
得成功。
如果雷霆直接與Kanter續約，合約會是每年7.5%的漲幅；然而跟進拓荒者的報價，每年
則是只有4.5%漲幅。
Despite Presti's statements, there were doubts about whether the typically
frugal Thunder ownership group would be willing to pay the luxury tax to
retain the 23-year-old center. The Thunder were only $2.5 million below the
tax line before matching the offer, which means they will pay almost double
what Kanter's salary figure is once the tax is included. After missing the
playoffs last season, it seems everyone in the organization is committed to
contending next year, no matter what it takes.
Kanter was traded to the Thunder at the deadline last season and proved to be
a good complement to the offense, immediately developing a rapport in the
pick and roll with Russell Westbrook. He also has a solid post game which
could bring another dimension to Oklahoma City's attack if he continues to
hone it. The concerns about the Turkish center come on the other end, where
he proved to be one of the worst defenders at his position.
本段大概在說雷霆應該無法躲避豪華稅的問題，但是比起豪華稅，雷霆更想重返季後賽
，而且Kanter能帶給雷霆不同的進攻球風、跟Westbrook在pick and roll有很好的搭配。
然而，這位土耳其球員可能是全NBA防守最差的中鋒。
The Trail Blazers are not getting their man but it might be for the best.
While adding a talented scorer to make up for LaMarcus Aldridge's exit would
have helped in the short term, at this stage of their rebuild the Blazers are
better off not making any big signings. It will be hard finding enough
minutes for Mason Plumlee, Ed Davis, Noah Vonleh, Meyers Leonard and Chris
Kaman as it is. Taking a shot at prying Kanter away was worth it but not
getting him does not hurt their future prospects significantly.
另一方面，拓荒者雖然沒能簽下Kanter作為LaMarcus Aldridge離開的替代方案，但是
他們內線仍有 Mason Plumlee, Ed Davis, Noah Vonleh, Meyers Leonard這些潛力股。
既然Kanter沒來，拓荒者也有更多空間去培養這些潛力新秀。
(另外內線替補也還有Chris Kaman這位老將)
[短評或心得]：
雷霆目前先發前場大致成型 Kanter-Ibaka-KD
內線替補陣容上也有 M.McGary, S.Adams這兩位潛力新秀
下個賽季雷霆的內線陣容應該是非常完整了
今年選的新秀Payne也非常值得期待 (以前養出哈登,RJ兩位後衛)
至於拓荒者方面則繼續在RFA上吃鱉
之前開報價給Roy Hibbert,溜馬跟進
現在開報價給Enes Kanter,雷霆也跟進
