湖人首要目標是找到讓球隊未來三年變得更好的交易，交易截止日前可能按兵不動
The Los Angeles Lakers have been at the center of countless trade rumors in rece
nt months, but they may end up not making a single move prior to the Feb. 9 trad
e deadline.
近幾個月來，洛杉磯湖人隊一直處於無數交易傳聞的中心，但他們可能在2月9日交易截止日
前不會採取任何行動。
As all fans know, the Lakers are in control of two valuable assets in their 2027
and 2029 first-round picks. For quite some time, it was widely assumed that the
Lakers would trade those picks to add talent around their superstar duo of Anth
ony Davis and LeBron James.
正如所有球迷所知，湖人隊握著2027年和2029年的首輪選秀權。在相當長的一段時間裡，人
們普遍認為湖人隊會交易這些選秀權，換來圍繞他們的超級球星AD和LBJ的球員。
However, more recent reports have indicated that the Lakers front office may kee
p both picks rather than trade them away. Despite the incredible amount of criti
cism that L.A.’s front office has been subjected to, it looks like the people i
n charge of the team are trying to take a long-term approach.
然而，最近的報導顯示，湖人管理層可能會保留這兩個選秀權，而不是把他們交易走。儘管
湖人的管理層受到了大量的批評，但看起來球隊的負責人正試圖採取一種長期的做法。
According to a recent report, the team’s current strategy revolves around tryin
g to do what is best for the team over the next three years. That may mean makin
g a trade, or it may mean standing pat.
根據最近的一份報告，球隊目前的策略是圍繞在做對球隊未來三年最好的事情。這可能意味
著交易，也可能意味著按兵不動。
“If the right deal emerges that will make them — in their eyes — a better tea
m over the next like three years, that’s their priority,” Dave McMenamin said.
“They want the team to get to the best level it can get while LeBron James is
still on the roster. But if that means not making that deal in February and play
ing out the rest of this season with the group that they have and knowing that t
hey feel like there’s gonna be a better deal in July in the offseason, they’ll
do that.”
記者：在他們看來，如果達成一筆合適的交易，能讓他們在未來三年成為一支更好的球隊，
這將是他們的首要任務。他們希望球隊在LBJ還在陣中的時候達到最好的水準。但是否這意
味著他們不會在2月份達成交易，而以現有的球隊打完本賽季剩下的比賽，並且他們覺得在
休賽季的7月份會有更好的交易，他們就會這麼做。
Of course, the level of critique will only rise if Jeanie Buss, Rob Pelinka and
the rest of the decision-makers in L.A. fail to make a move prior to the deadlin
e this season. Many have argued that the team has failed to capitalize on James
’ time with the team.
當然，如果Jeanie Buss、Rob Pelinka和洛杉磯的其他決策者未能在本賽季截止日前採取行
動，批評只會加劇。許多人認為球隊未能充分利用LBJ在球隊的時間。
There are some who even believe that the Lakers are hurting James’ legacy by ge
tting in the way of his ability to win more titles.
有些人甚至認為，湖人隊阻礙了LBJ贏得更多冠軍的可能，從而損害了他的歷史定位。
