Sources: Warriors made bid for LeBron James at trade deadline Adrian Wojnarowski https://i.imgur.com/yaKm0Tv.jpg Over a clandestine 24-hour window prior to the trade deadline on Thursday that included owner to owner conversations, the Golden State Warriors made an unsu ccessful bid to convince the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James to consider a trade to pair him with longtime-rival Stephen Curry, sources told ESPN. 在截止日期前一天的24小時內，包括老闆與老闆之間的秘密對話，勇士試圖說服湖人和Le Bron James考慮一筆交易，將他聯手勁敵Stephen Curry，但未能成功。 The Warriors were eager to present a deal package to LA, but neither the Laker s nor James were ultimately willing to explore a potential blockbuster. Even a t 39 years old, James is still playing at an All-NBA level that stirred the Wa rriors imagination about his ability to extend the window of the franchise's f ading dynasty. 勇士向湖人提出一個交易方案，但湖人和James最終都不願意探索這個可能的重磅交易。 即使在39歲的高齡，James仍然保持著全NBA水平的表現，激發了勇士隊對他能夠延長球隊 衰落王朝窗口期的想象。 Armed with the encouragement of Warriors star Draymond Green, Golden State own er Joe Lacob reached out to Lakers owner Jeanie Buss to inquire whether James' apparent public frustration could be interpreted as an opening to discuss a t rade, sources said. 在勇士隊明星Draymond Green的鼓勵下，金州老闆Joe Lacob聯繫了湖人隊老闆Jeanie Bu ss，詢問James表達的公開不滿是否可以被解釋為討論交易的契機。 Buss told Lacob the Lakers had no desire to trade James, but that he would nee d to seek the answer on James' state of mind from his agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, sources said. As an owner, Buss has operated with the mindset that she wants her star players content with the franchise, and that instructed he r thinking on referring Warriors leadership to James' representation, sources said. Buss告訴Lacob，湖人不想交易James，但他需要從James的經紀人，Klutch體育公司的首 席執行長Rich Paul那裡尋找答案。作為老闆，Buss一直持有這樣的心態：她希望她的明 星球員對球隊感到滿意，這影響了她建議勇士領導層向James的代表尋求答案的想法。 If the Lakers ever wanted a temperature check on James' commitment, here was h is chance to tell them. In the end, that answer for the Warriors and Lakers re turned resoundingly on the eve of the trade deadline: Rich Paul told Lacob and Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr., that James had no interest in a trade and want ed to remain a Laker, sources said. When Dunleavy Jr., reached out to Lakers G M Rob Pelinka in those pre-trade deadline hours, Dunleavy Jr., had been told t he same: the Lakers wanted to keep James, sources said. 如果湖人隊想要對James的表態進行確認，這是他告訴他們的機會。最終，這個答案在交 易截止日前夕響亮地回歸給了勇士隊和湖人隊：Rich Paul告訴Lacob和勇士隊總經理Mike Dunleavy Jr.，James對交易不感興趣，想要留在湖人隊。當MDJ在交易截止日期前的小 時候聯繫到湖人隊總經理Robert Pelinka時，MDJ得到了同樣的回答：湖人隊想要留下Jam es。 Earlier Wednesday, Green -- whom Paul also represents at Klutch -- had sent Pa ul a text message soliciting his help convincing James to join him in Golden S tate, sources said. Once, Green had been a lead recruiter on Kevin Durant's fr ee agency signing with Golden State, but this was a far different, far more fu tile 11th hour pursuit. 周三早些時候，Green——Paul在Klutch也是作為他的經紀人——發送了一條簡訊給Paul ，請求他的幫助，說服James加入金州。曾經，Green是Kevin Durant自由簽約加入金州的 主要招募者，但這是一次完全不同，遠更無望的最後一刻追求。 Dunleavy Jr. was the second team executive call to Pelinka on a possible James trade, sources said. After seeing James' murky social media post of an hour-g lass a week before the trade deadline, Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketb all Operations Daryl Morey called Pelinka to probe on a James trade and was im mediately told that James wasn't available. In fact, Pelinka responded by aski ng Morey if Joel Embiid was available, sources said. And that ended that brief conversation. These sorts of bold trade calls are historically a common pract ice for Morey, who also called the Phoenix Suns and asked about a trade for Du rant prior to the deadline, sources said. When told no on Durant, Morey then a sked about the availability of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, too. Unsurprisin gly, those were no's as well, sources said. MDJ是第二位就可能的James交易給Pelinka打電話的球隊高管。在交易截止日期前一周， 看到James再社交媒體上貼出一個令人摸不著頭緒的沙漏後，費城76人隊籃球運營總裁Dar yl Morey致電Pelinka探詢James交易，並立即被告知不可行。實際上，Pelinka還反問Mor ey關於喬Joel Embiid是否可交易。這結束了那次短暫的對話。這種大膽的交易電話在Mor ey的歷史上是常見的做法，他也在截止日期前致電鳳凰城太陽隊，詢問關於Durant的交易 ，消息來源說。當被告知不可行時，Morey接著詢問Devin Booker和Bradley Beal的可行 性。不出所料，這些也都是不行的。 Nevertheless, the Warriors and Lakers back-and-forth lands differently because it started on the ownership level and included Buss referring the Warriors to James' representation to check for themselves about James' commitment to the Lakers. 然而，勇士隊和湖人隊的來回交流因為始於球隊擁有者的層面，且包括Buss將勇士隊引向 James的代表以自行檢查James對湖人隊的承諾而顯得不同。 The Warriors could revisit a pursuit in the offseason when James holds a $51.4 million player option on his contract for 2024-2025. If James returns to the Lakers, he'll likely do so by declining that option and re-signing with LA on a new deal that would allow him an annual raise. James remains focused on retu rning to the Lakers in the offseason, sources told ESPN, but undoubtedly there will be many of these same suitors -- including Golden State and Philadelphia -- emerging to make cases to convince James otherwise. 勇士隊可能會在休賽期重新考慮追求James，當James在2024-2025賽季的合約中持有5140 萬美元的球員選項時。如果James返回湖人隊，他很可能會通過拒絕這個選項並與洛杉磯 重新簽約來做到這一點，這將允許他能年年加薪。James仍然專注於在休賽期返回湖人隊 ，但毫無疑問，許多同樣的追求者——包括金州和費城——將再次出現，試圖說服James 做出不同的選擇。 The Lakers and Warriors were restrained at the trade deadline. The Lakers are hopeful they can make a more significant roster upgrade in the offseason, when they'll have three future first-round picks available to use in trades, sourc es said. 湖人隊和勇士隊在交易截止日期時都表現得相當克制。湖人隊希望他們可以在休賽期進行 更有意義的陣容升級，屆時他們將有三個未來首輪選秀權可用於交易。 The Warriors did have substantiative talks on several trade scenarios, includi ng with Chicago's Alex Caruso and Utah's Kelly Olynyk, sources said, but made only a money-saving deal to move guard Cory Joseph. Golden State is facing the potential of unrestricted free agency for four-time championship guard Klay T hompson. 勇士隊的確就幾種交易方案進行了實質性談判，包括與公牛隊的Alex Caruso和爵士隊的K elly Olynyk，但只進行了一筆節省資金的交易，將後衛Cory Joseph交易出去。金州面臨 四次冠軍後衛Klay Thompson的不受限自由球員身份的潛在問題。 For now, the Lakers and Warriors are separated in the standings for 9th and 10 in the Western Conference Play-in race. For now, they'll stay on parallel pat hs and leave those 11th hour conversations in the wake of trade deadline week. 現在，湖人隊和勇士隊在西部聯盟季後賽的排名中分別位於第九和第十。目前，他們將沿 著平行的道路前進，將那些最後一刻的談話留在交易截止日期週的醒悟中。 https://reurl.cc/bDe5Wo -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 122.121.161.200 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1707916502.A.FCD.html ※ 編輯: XXXaBg (122.121.161.200 臺灣), 02/14/2024 21:19:21
