Klay Thompson says 'it would be hard to envision' leaving the Warriors
https://goo.gl/5vuN5R
The Warriors have some free agency decisions looming in the near future, and
Klay Thompson apparently has his mind made up about staying in Oakland.
勇士在不久的將來會有很多球員變成自由球員,K湯近期表達了自己想要留在勇士的想法
In Ric Bucher’s Bleacher Report profile on Thompson, he addresses his
future, and it doesn’t sound like the sharpshooter has any plans to leave
the Warriors.
在與記者的訪談中,感覺不到這位勇士神射手會想要離隊的可能性。
“I was part of building this culture,” he says. “It wouldn’t be leaving
everything I worked for behind, but it would be a whole new start. I was one
of the pioneers of this. I’m one of the longest-tenured players here besides
Steph, so I’m very prideful of the turnaround the Warriors have made. Just
because I’m not the face of the franchise doesn’t mean I’m not recognized
for it. Real fans and the people in the organization and my peers around the
league, they see the work I’ve put in and realize I’ve been a huge
component to the success here for the last five, six, seven years, so I have
an identity here. It would be hard for me to envision going anywhere else.”
「我也是勇士文化的一部分,我是這球隊的先驅者之一。除了Stephen Curry之外,我在這
裡打了最久,我非常驕傲能見證球隊從谷底走到巔峰的。或許我不是球隊的當家球星,但
這不意味著別人不認識我。真正的球迷、管理層的人還有聯盟其他球員,都知道我付出了
多少努力,也知道我在過去五、六、七年裡為勇士的成功做了多少貢獻,所以我覺得我在
這是有點元老身分的。我很難想像自己再去別的球隊效力。」
Thompson is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2019,
just one year before Draymond Green. Thompson has stated he’s open to taking
a discount of “a few million” in order to keep the Warriors together, and
after Durant did so last summer it would not be unprecedented.
K湯在2019年就會早嘴綠一步成為非受限自由球員,也表示自己願意為了讓勇士凝聚在一起
而降薪,因為前年KD也這樣做過了,K湯也這樣做一點也不讓人意外。
The Warriors already laid some of the tracks for their future this year with
the multi-year contract they inked Quinn Cook to, and it sounds like Thompson
wants to be a part of that future as well.
勇士隊今年為了未來已經簽了一些合約,譬如簽下了Cook,K湯應該也很想繼續成為勇士的
一份子。
