https://tinyurl.com/2bvctamk Perhaps Mike Conley’s departure will be short lived. 也許 Mike Conley 的離隊只是短暫的告別。 While a return is far from guaranteed, the pathway to one opened on Wednesday, a day after the Timberwolves dealt Conley to Chicago as part of a three-team deal that brought Minnesota nothing more than cash considerations and salary cap relief. 雖然回歸還不保證發生，但這條路徑在週三已經開啟。就在前一天，灰狼隊在一筆三方交易中將 Conley 送往芝加哥，而明尼蘇達除了獲得現金補償和薪資空間緩解外，並未換回任何球員。 Conley was then dealt to Charlotte in a move that also sent Coby White — a once rumored deadline acquisition for Minnesota — to the Hornets. 隨後，Conley 在另一筆交易中被送往夏洛特，該筆交易同時將 Coby White （曾傳聞是灰狼隊的交易截止日目標）也送到了黃蜂隊。 Charlotte is reportedly likely to buy Conley out of his contract, which would allow the veteran guard to hit the free-agent market. And because another trade has taken place since Minnesota dealt him, Conley, 38, would be eligible to re-sign with the Wolves. 據報導，黃蜂隊很可能買斷 Conley 的合約，將使這位老將控衛進入自由球員市場。由於在他離開明尼蘇達後又再度被交易，現年 38 歲的 Conley 將具備重新與灰狼隊簽約的資格。 A lot has to happen between now and then for that to happen. First, Charlotte and Conley would need to reach their buyout agreement. Charlotte could still, in theory, find a trade partner for Conley between now and Thursday’s 3 p.m. deadline. 在此之前還有許多變數。首先，黃蜂隊與 Conley 需要達成買斷協議。理論上，黃蜂隊仍可能在週四下午 3 點的截止日期前為 Conley 找到交易對象。 But if a buyout occurred, Minnesota would need to deem Conley as the best man to fill the team’s open roster spot. Other options will exist, such as guard Lonzo Ball, who was reportedly traded from Cleveland to Utah on Wednesday and is expected to be waived by the Jazz. 但如果買斷發生，明尼蘇達需要認定 Conley 是填補球隊名單空缺的最佳人選。屆時還會有其他選擇，例如據傳週三從騎士被交易到爵士，並預計會被裁掉的後衛 Lonzo Ball。 Further, Conley would need to deem Minnesota as the best place to spend the remainder of his season. The Timberwolves have interest in welcoming the guard back on what would certainly be a pro-rated minimum contract, as the initial trade was merely to shed the remainder of his $10 million annual salary. 此外，Conley 也需要認定明尼蘇達是度過剩餘賽季的最佳地點。灰狼隊有興趣以一份按比例計算的底薪合約迎回這位後衛，因為最初的那筆交易純粹為了擺脫他 1,000 萬美元年薪的餘額。 Conley is in Minnesota at the moment waiting to uncover his next true NBA destination. There certainly would be value for the veteran guard in re-joining his familiar teammates and organization. He knows his role and fit within the roster, and could resume his pursuit of a championship while remaining at home with his family. Conley 目前人就在明尼蘇達，等待揭曉他的下一步。對於這位老將來說，重返熟悉的隊友和團隊顯然具有價值。他了解自己在球隊中的角色與定位，並能在不與家人分離的同時，繼續追求總冠軍。 But Conley had already heard from other players around the NBA as of Wednesday and is likely to have options to join other contenders. He’s the type of well-respected veteran every team would love to have. 但截至週三，Conley 已經收到了來自聯盟的其他詢問，並且有機會加入其他競爭者。他是那種每支球隊都渴望擁有的、備受尊敬的老將。 Conley will have to at least briefly weigh other options — point guard-needy teams like Houston or Denver could serve as potential landing spots — before making a determination. And Minnesota’s roster remains in flux until a trade for Milwaukee superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo does or doesn’t happen on Thursday. 在做出最終決定前，Conley 至少需要短暫衡量其他選項，急需控衛的休士頓或丹佛都可能是潛在去處。而灰狼隊的陣容在週四關於密爾瓦基超級巨星 Giannis Antetokounmpo 的交易定案（或告吹）之前，仍處於變動狀態。 But a return would certainly be welcomed by the Wolves’ current players and coaches. Minnesota assistant coach Pablo Prigioni tweeted Wednesday morning that Conley is a “great player, huge impact on our team and a fantastic person.” 但若能回歸，灰狼現有的球員與教練團肯定會表示歡迎。灰狼助理教練 Pablo Prigioni 在週三早上推文表示，Conley 是一位「偉大的球員、對球隊影響巨大，且人格魅力非凡」。 Speaking with reporters in Toronto, Wolves center Rudy Gobert said Conley’s departure was “tough.” 灰狼中鋒 Rudy Gobert 在多倫多接受採訪時表示，Conley 的離開讓人「很難受」。 “We all know, we’re all aware it’s a business and those things can happen,” Gobert said. “But when it does happen, it’s always tough. For me, Mike has been a guy that I have a tremendous amount of respect for, and friendship and love for. So, obviously, this morning, you’re on the bus and you see an empty seat, it hits you a little bit.” Gobert 說道：「我們都知道、也清楚這是一門生意，這些事隨時會發生。但當它真的發生時，總是很難熬。對我來說，Mike 是我非常尊敬的對象，我們有深厚的友誼和感情。所以，顯然今天早上你上巴士看到哪個空位時，心裡確實會有些觸動。」 Donte DiVincenzo said he’d most miss Conley’s ear, noting he was always someone you could talk to for comfortable, constructive dialogue. Donte DiVincenzo 則表示他最想念 Conley 的傾聽，指出他總是那位能讓你進行舒適且建設性對話的對象。 Gobert said Conley has been the example guys have needed, because the team knew he was going to compete, be there for his teammates and do anything he could to win — which is exactly the team identity for which the Wolves aim. Gobert 表示，Conley 一直是球員們所需的榜樣，因為全隊都曉得他會全力以赴、挺身支持隊友，並為了贏球毫不保留，而這正是灰狼隊追求的團隊認同。 “He’s a guy that I think has brought a lot to this culture and this team, and whether he’s here or not … everything he has brought doesn’t leave with him,” Gobert said. “Hopefully, when we lift that trophy in June, he’ll be a big reason why.” Gobert 說：「我認為他為這支球隊的文化帶來了許多貢獻，無論他是否在場 ……他所帶來的一切都不會隨他離去。希望當我們在六月舉起獎盃時，他會是其中一個重要的原因。」 Who knows, maybe he’ll even be on the stage, lifting it along with them. 誰知道呢，說不定到時候他也會站在台上，與他們一同舉起獎盃。 --- 很可能是老康的最後一舞了，需要他的經驗傳承。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.164.234.159 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1770307500.A.FFF.html
