Kevin Love Trade Rumors: Execs Believe Cavs Star Is Available for 'Right
Price'
Kevin Love乳摸: 球隊高層認為騎士明星只要價格合理就買的到
Some NBA front-office personnel believe Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love
is "available for the proverbial right price," the New York Times' Marc Stein
reported Tuesday.
紐約時報Marc Stein星期二報導，一些NBA球隊制服組相信騎士明星Kevin Love只要"價格
合理就買得到"。
Stein speculated the Denver Nuggets could be one team that makes a run at
Love, based on their "longstanding fondness" for the five-time All-Star.
Stein推測，丹佛金塊是其中一隊在追逐Love的，基於他們哈這位五屆全明星已經很久了。
Some were surprised when the Cavaliers signed Love to a four-year, $120
million extension in July.
當七月騎士提供一份四年1億2000萬鎂的延長合約時，有些人很驚訝。
Cleveland was clearly in rebuilding mode once LeBron James signed with the
Los Angeles Lakers, while Love has battled injuries for much of his career.
Sure enough, the Cavs own the NBA's worst record (8-29), and Love has been
out since late October (he underwent surgery on his left foot in November).
當LBJ離開騎士與湖人簽約以及Love過去生涯就已經常常與傷痛奮戰，騎士很明顯的已經進
入重建期。事實也是如此，目前騎士聯盟戰績最差(8-29)，而Love在十月之後就沒出賽(11
月接受手術治療左腳)。
Trading Love is the best move for Cleveland. In the offseason, general
manager Koby Altman said he didn't want to tank and instead hoped the Cavs
would compete for a playoff berth. The team's dreadful start indicates how
far away it is from postseason contention.
對騎士來說，交易掉Love會是最好的策略。在休賽季的時候，騎士總管Koby Altman說他不
希望用"坦"招，希望球隊仍能夠搶季後賽位置。但是，開季戰績低迷，顯示著騎士離季後
賽競爭隊伍還差好大一截。
The Cavaliers are unlikely to be near the top eight of the Eastern Conference
within the next two or three years, so they may as well try to move the
30-year-old Love.
在未來兩三年騎士要搶進東區前八席是不可能的，所以他們不妨試著交易掉30歲的Love看
看。
In that sense, his extension may work in Cleveland's favor. A team interested
in acquiring Love knows he'll be under contract through the 2022-23 season.
In addition, ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst reported Love
took $8 million less than he could've earned on a full max deal. His annual
salary tops out at $31.3 million in 2020-21 and 2021-22 before falling
slightly to $28.8 million in the final year.
依照那狀況，他的延長合約對於騎士是有利的。對Love有興趣的球隊知道Love的合約會到
2022-23球季後結束，此外，ESPN沃神跟Brian Windhorst都報導Love沒拿頂薪，少拿了800
萬鎂。他的薪水在2020-21以及2021-22球季每年會是3130萬鎂，最後一年會小降至2880萬
鎂。
Stein noted the Cavs have to wait until Jan. 24 before they can officially
trade Love based on when he signed his extension, so any potential deal isn't
imminent. Not to mention, an interested suitor may prefer to wait until Love
has returned to the court before deciding what it would send Cleveland in
return.
Stein報導，依據Love簽延長合約的時間，騎士要等到1/24後才可以正式交易Love，所以要
看交易報價一點都不急。更不用說，有興趣的買家也會想等到Love回到球場後再來決定他
們要用甚麼交易內容來跟騎士談。
Should Love remain on the Cavs after the Feb. 7 trade deadline expires,
speculation on his future will likely become a storyline once again in the
summer.
所以Love應該會在2/7交易大限之前都還會在騎士，而在今年夏天，猜測Love會去哪裡將會
是另一個熱門話題。
