Blazers Won’t Give Collins Qualifying Offer
阿拓不會給Zach Collins QO
The Trail Blazers will not extend a $7.36MM qualifying offer to forward Zach Collins, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
引自The Athletic的JQ報導，阿拓不會給Z摳價值736萬的QO合約
That will make Collins an unrestricted free agent next month. The 10th pick in the 2017 draft has only appeared in 11 games the past two seasons due to shoulder, foot and ankle injuries.
因為肩膀、腳部與腳踝的傷勢，這位17年樂透區的新秀在過去2年只打了11場比賽 ，而這使得他將在夏天成為完全自由球員
Ref: 1.去年9月開完左腳，復健時又傷到右腳踝
2.早在19年就在對小牛的比賽傷了肩膀
Collins learned late last month of a major setback when another fracture was discovered in his left foot. He underwent a second revision surgery to repair a left medial malleolus stress fracture and will require another 4-6 month recovery period.
Collins 上個月末得知了左腳踝骨折這個重大挫折。他被迫接受第二次手術來修復左踝，並需要4-6個月康復期
“Obviously with me being a free agent, it makes it tough,” Collins said. “But I’m less concerned about what type of deal I’m going to get, or how many years it’s going to be, or who I’m going to play for … I’m more focused on this rehab and getting this ankle right.”
顯然的，我會變成一名自由球員，這讓一切變的艱辛。但我不會關注我會得到什麼樣（的合約）、是什麼長度甚至是去哪打球。我現在專注於康復，讓腳踝回復正常。Collins說
Projected to be over the cap, the Blazers couldn’t afford to tie up another chunk of money on a player who will likely miss significant time next season.
拓荒者預計將突破Cap hold ,所以他們不能浪費太多資金在一位下季無法上場的球員身上。
Agent Mark Bartelstein is still confident he can land a multi-year contract for his client.
“There’s no question he is going to get a deal; he’s an incredible talent,” Bartelstein said. “NBA teams are looking for guys who can protect the rim, switch everything on defense and make 3s. Zach is really a unicorn.”
Z摳的經紀人還是有信心簽下複數年合約
「毫無疑問，他會得到一紙合約，他是一位難以致信他天才。」「每個球隊都在找尋可以護框、可以防守已經可以投三分的球員，而他就是這樣一位的珍稀動物」
Collins is still hopeful of remaining with Portland. Bartelstein will hold discussions with Neil Olshey, the team’s president of basketball operations.
“Neil and I talk all the time and we will do what we always do — sit and talk and see if something makes sense,” Bartelstein said. “But they are in a tough spot. They are up against the luxury tax, and there’s a sense of urgency to win now … so there’s a lot to balance. But I know Neil believes deeply in Zach. They know he is going to be good.”
Z摳還是希望留在波特蘭，經紀人將會與阿拓的Neil好好談談可能性。
