Rockets Trade Rumors: HOU Has 'Serious Interest' in T-Wolves' Robert Covington
火箭交易乳摸：休士頓火箭對灰狼的Robert Covington有強烈興趣。
The Houston Rockets reportedly have "serious interest" in acquiring Robert Cov
ington from the Minnesota Timberwolves as they look to improve their roster fo
r a deep playoff run.
據報導，休士頓火箭隊對從灰狼那裡得到Robert Covington「非常有興趣」，因為他們想
要提升陣容的深度，讓他們能在季後賽走的更遠。
Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer reported the Rockets' interest, though he noted M
innesota's desire to move Covington is unclear. Covington is considered a cove
ted trade chip because of his three-and-D skills and manageable salary (two ye
ars, $25 million remaining after 2019-20).
The Ringer的Kevin O'Connor報導了火箭(對此交易)的興趣，但他指出，目前並不清楚灰
狼是否想把Covington送走。Covington被認為是一個令人垂涎的交易籌碼，因為他具備3
分、防守的技巧，以及好操作的薪資(2019-20賽季後，還剩2年2500萬的合約)。
While his deal is considered a value around the league, it's hard to find an a
venue in which the Rockets can finagle a trade. Barring an unlikely trade of P
.J. Tucker, their best defender and a beloved locker room presence, the Rocket
s' best salary match is Eric Gordon.
他的交易在聯盟中被認為是有價值的，對火箭來說，很難找到一個可以「欺騙完成交易」
的方法。除了他們最好的防守球員、最受歡迎的更衣室球員P.J. Tucker不太可能被交易
以外，火箭隊最好的薪水匹配球員是Eric Gordon。
It seems highly unlikely the Timberwolves would be interested in adding Gordon
, given the four-year, $75 million contract extension he signed over the summe
r. Gordon has dealt with injuries throughout the season and is playing the wor
st basketball of his career when he's in the lineup, though he's only played i
n nine games this season.
考慮到Gordon今年夏天提前續約所簽的4年7500萬美元合約，灰狼似乎對得到他並不感興
趣。Gordon今年一直與傷病搏鬥，本季他在場的表現是生涯最糟糕的，他這賽季也只打了
9場比賽。
The Timberwolves may also be hesitant to move Covington because they're in con
tention for a playoff spot. Minnesota enters Tuesday just one game back of the
eighth seed in the Western Conference.
灰狼可能還在猶豫是否要換掉Covington，因為他們正在爭奪季後賽的名次。明尼蘇達灰
狼在周二時，僅僅落後西區第8種子一場勝差。
If Covington is ultimately moved, it likely won't happen until late January or
early February when the playoff picture is coalescing.
如果Covington最終被送走，那可能要到明年1月底或2月初，季後賽的形勢才會明朗。
心得：類似以前Trevor Ariza扮演的角色？
