只擷取與KD交易案有關的部分
The latest on Kevin Durant to the Celtics, more Bill Russell memories, and oth
er thoughts
A league source said there has not been any real traction on a deal that would
send Kevin Durant from the Nets to the Celtics. It’s no surprise that the si
des have had some discussions, of course.
一位聯盟消息人士表示，對於綠賽而言，KD得交易案並沒有實際的吸引力。而當然，雙方
曾進行過一些討論亦不足為奇。
Durant is one of the best players of all time, and when one of the best player
s of all time could be available, other teams should feel obligated to inquire
. The Athletic recently reported that all 29 other teams have been in touch wi
th Brooklyn about Durant.
KD是有史以來最好的球員之一，當有機會可以得到這種等級的球員時、其他球隊應該有義
務去訊問。根據The Althetic 網站最近的報導，聯盟29支球隊都有與籃網和KD接觸過。
Boston has been considered a potential landing spot in large part because the
Celtics are better positioned than most to offer an enticing package. But ther
e are limits.
由於比大多數球隊更能提供誘人的交易包，綠賽在很大成度上被認為是一個潛在的著陸點
。但交易包是有極限的。
According to the source, Brooklyn initially tried to pry both Jayson Tatum and
Jaylen Brown from the Boston. That proposal went nowhere, of course. The sour
ce confirmed recent reports that Brooklyn later shifted its focus to a deal ce
ntered on Brown, Marcus Smart, and a massive haul of future first-round draft
picks. But the Celtics were not interested.
根據消息，籃網最初試圖從綠賽手上得到雙J。想當然而，這提案一無所成。消息人士還
證實最近的報導，指出籃王後來將目光轉移到JB和Smart上，以及大量的一輪簽。但綠賽
依
舊不感興趣。
There is usually posturing in trade discussions, and demands tend to soften. B
ut as of this week, when Durant reportedly reiterated his desire to bet traded
during a meeting with team owner Joe Tsai, the Celtics and Nets were not clos
e to a deal.
在討論交易時，兩方提案通常會先裝模作樣，而需求往往會逐漸軟化。但截至本週，據報
導，當KD在和籃網老闆蔡崇信的會面上重申希望被交易時，綠賽和籃網還沒有達成協議。
When Brown’s name first appeared inDurant trade rumors a couple of weeks ago,
the Celtics star tweeted “smh” (shaking my head), an apparent sign of frust
ration.
幾週前，當自己的名字出現在KD交易案的乳摸時，JB在推特上寫道「搖搖頭」，顯然是沮
喪的跡象。
But a league source said Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Steve
ns and coach Ime Udoka communicate with Brown “all the time” and have kept h
im in the loop, adding that Brown seems to understand the situation.
但一位聯盟消息人士表示，綠賽營運總裁Brad stevens和總教練Ime Udoka「整天」都在
與JB做溝通，並讓他隨時了解情況，並補充道，JB似乎了解情勢。
2k提KD換雙J的話，應該會被對方罵到臭頭？
