Joe Lacob wants Warriors to ‘field the best possible team’ in the next 2
years for Stephen Curry
Joe Lacob希望勇士在接下來的兩年為Stephen Curry 在可能狀況下"組出最佳隊伍"
Despite the current state of the Golden State Warriors, team owner Joe Lacob
remains in good spirits. The 64-year-old majority owner of one of the most
popular sports teams in the world understands his team is going nowhere this
season.
儘管在目前勇士的戰績狀況下,勇士老闆Joe Lacob仍保持著積極的態度。64歲的他,是目
前世界上最受歡迎的隊伍之一的老闆,他了解到本季勇士是不可能有甚麼作為的。
Lacob now looks ahead the next two seasons — which just happens to be the
last two years his superstar Stephen Curry will be under contract. The San
Francisco-based franchise is currently above the luxury tax after absorbing
Andrew Wiggins’ massive contract from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Lacob現在是著眼在接下來的兩季-那會是Stephen Curry跟勇士合約的最後兩年。以舊金山
為主場的勇士在跟灰狼交易來Andrew Wiggins接手他的合約後,勇士目前是在奢侈稅線以
上。
The Dubs acquired the 24-year-old swingman at the deadline in exchange for D’
Angelo Russell.
勇士是在交易大限前用D'Angelo Russell換來24歲的Wiggins。
Lacob discussed how managing the luxury tax will be key to keeping Curry, per
Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.
在與The Athletic記者Tim Kawakami的訪問中,Lacob討論到如何處理奢侈稅將會是留下
Curry的重要關鍵。
“Our payroll right now, right now, is well over $200 (million) for next year
(counting luxury-tax penalties). People don’t do the math to understand it.
We know what it’s going to be. It’s going to be the highest payroll we’ve
ever had next year. We know that. The question is how high. If there’s a
trade-exception (deal) that we really want, that’s worth it, let’s consider
it. Mid-level exception? Very likely to use,” Joe Lacob said.
「我們目前的薪資總額,目前,下一季會是遠超過2億鎂(把奢侈稅加進去)。大家沒有去
算所以不懂,但是我們知道會是這個樣子。下一季的薪資總額會是我們史上最高,我們知
道會是這樣。問題是到底會有多高?若是有我們很想要的交易特例的話,那就值得,我們
就會考慮。中產特例?我們也很有可能會用,」Joe Lacob說。
“The first pick in the draft, if we were to get that? With luxury tax, (that
contract would be) huge. Really, the emphasis is on next year. The next two
years, our window — Steph’s last two years under contract, before we
hopefully bring him back again — we need to field the best possible team we
can. That was the emphasis.”
「選秀狀元,我們是不是要簽下來呢?有奢侈稅在那邊,那個合約就會很驚人。真的,重
點是在下一季。我們的時機是在接下來兩年
