最近交易市場實在太冷了
就挑幾點有趣的來分享
2.
If Landale wasn’t included, the Spurs would have needed to wait a few more
days to make the trade official. Why the rush? It’s safe to say the Spurs
valued the ability to maximize their cap space on Day 1 of free agency more
than they valued having Landale around on an unguaranteed minimum contract.
如果Landale不被納入交易包裹當中，那馬刺將需要再等幾天才能完成DJM的交易
馬刺為何那麼急？
可以肯定的說，相較於Landale的無保障合約，馬刺更看重的是在自由市場第一天能夠
最大化他們的薪資空間
Landale brought an interesting combination of toughness, shooting ability and
basketball IQ at the center position. Unfortunately, the Australian big man had
trouble on the defensive end due to a lack of athleticism. With Zach Collins
on track to play a full season and the drafting of Jeremy Sochan, San Antonio
felt confident enough in their big man depth to throw Landale into the Murray
deal.
Landale的強韌、投射能力與籃球智商替馬刺的中鋒位帶來了有趣的組合
不幸的是，這位澳洲大個子由於缺乏運動能力，他在防守端上遇到了困難
當Zach下一季有望完整出賽、選秀上也選進了Jeremy Sochan之時
馬刺對他們內線的深度有足夠的信心，以將Landale放進DJM交易案當中
4.
Pulling Walker’s qualifying offer increased San Antonio’s cap space from
around $26 million to nearly $40 million. So, what do the Spurs plan to do with
all that room? As expected, it doesn’t appear like the Spurs will make a move
for restricted free agent Deandre Ayton.
The likeliest outcome is the Spurs renting out their cap room. For example,
they could absorb a bad contract (say, Russell Westbrook) in exchange for draft
capital (say, two minimally protected first round picks). Expect the Spurs to
be patient in this regard, especially after the news of Kevin Durant demanding
a trade. A team desperate for Durant could very well overpay the Spurs for the
cap flexibility San Antonio can provide if it means completing a trade with the
Brooklyn Nets.
撤回Lonnie的QO，使得馬刺的薪資空間從26M增加到了近40M
所以，馬刺打算利用這些空間做什麼呢？
正如預期，馬刺似乎不會提供報價給受限自由球員Ayton
最有可的結果是馬刺出租他們的薪資空間
比方來說，他們可能會吞一個爛約 (比如說龜)，以換取選秀資產
(例如兩個低保護首輪)
可以期待的是馬刺將會在這方面保持耐心，特別是在KD吹密之後
一隻渴求KD的球隊可能會付出高於市價的價格，和馬刺換取他們所擁有的薪資靈活性
來與籃網完成交易
6) The Spurs did have one free agent acquisition on the first day of free
agency: Brett Brown. The former assistant coach in San Antonio and the former
head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers returns to the Spurs as an assistant coach
. Brown, 61, joins Mitch Johnson, Darius Songaila, Matt Nielsen and Chip
Engelland on head coach Gregg Popovich’s staff.
Considering that the Spurs have entered a full-on rebuilding mode after trading
away Murray, the hiring of Brown makes a whole lot of sense. Brown was the
head coach during The Process, Philadelphia’s infamous multi-season rebuilding
plan that actually resulted in the NBA flattening the lottery odds.
In his previous stint with the Spurs, Brown drew rave reviews for his work with
young players and his ability to help develop talent. Considering that the
Spurs roster is more youthful than ever, he’ll be a busy man.
馬刺在自由市場開張之後，確實簽下了一名自由球員：Brett Brown
在他過往與馬刺的合作當中，BB以善於與年輕球員合作、球員發展的能力受到好評。
考慮到馬刺的陣容比任何時期都來得幼齒，他接下來可有得忙了。
