Kyle Lowry, Chris Paul move quickly in NBA free agency
凯尔·罗瑞,克里斯·保罗在NBA自由球员中动作迅速
Point guards were the immediate focus when the NBA’s free agency window opened Monday night, with Kyle Lowry headed to the Miami Heat, Lonzo Ball on his way to the Chicago Bulls while Chris Paul and Mike Conley landed lucrative deals to remain with their current teams.
周一晚上,当NBA自由球员市场窗口打开时,控卫成为了最直接的焦点,凯尔·洛瑞前往迈阿密热火,朗佐·鲍尔前往芝加哥公牛,克里斯·保罗和迈克·康利获得了丰厚的合同,继续留在他们现在的球队。
Lowry and the agency that represents him, Priority Sports, said he was headed to the Heat. A person with knowledge of the deal said he would be signing a three-year contract worth nearly $30 million annually in what will become a sign-and-trade that sends Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa from Miami to Toronto. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because nothing had yet been approved by the league.
洛瑞和他的经纪公司优先体育表示,他将前往热火。一位知情人士说,他将签下一份3年每年近3000万美元的合同,这将成为一项先签后换的交易,把戈兰·德拉季奇和普雷舍斯·阿丘瓦从迈阿密送到多伦多。该人士在接受美联社采访时要求匿名,因为联盟还没有批准任何事情。
“Miami Heat X Kyle Lowry Let’s Goo!!” Lowry wrote on Twitter, followed by five fire emojis.
“迈阿密热队X凯尔·洛瑞,让我们黏在一起!!”洛瑞在推特上写道,后面是五个火的表情包。
Paul agreed to a contract to remain with the Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns, another person with knowledge of that deal said. It would be worth nearly $120 million if all four years are completed and would push Paul’s career earnings past the $400 million mark. He turned down a $44.2 million option for this coming season to negotiate a longer deal, and after the success the Suns had this season in their run to the NBA Finals it seemed doubtful that he would look to play elsewhere.
另一位知情人士称,保罗同意继续与西部冠军菲尼克斯太阳队签订合同。如果所有四年都完成了,这将价值近1.2亿美元,保罗的职业生涯收入将超过4亿美元大关。他拒绝了下赛季4420万美元的合同,以协商一份更长的合同。在太阳队本赛季成功闯入NBA总决赛后,他是否会去其他球队打球似乎成了疑问。
Conley agreed to a $73 million, four-year deal to remain with the Utah Jazz, the team that finished last season with the NBA’s best regular-season record and expects to bring back most of the same core for another run this season. Conley confirmed the signing on Twitter; a person confirmed the terms to AP.
康利同意了一份为期四年的7300万美元的合同,他将继续效力于犹他爵士队,这支球队上赛季取得了NBA常规赛最佳战绩,并希望在本赛季再次带回大部分核心球员。康利在推特上确认了签约消息;一位知情人士向美联社证实了这些条款。
Another top point guard, Derrick Rose, was returning to the New York Knicks on a three-year, $43 million deal, a person told AP.
一位知情人士告诉美联社,另一位顶级控卫德里克·罗斯将以3年4300万美元的合同重返纽约尼克斯队。
The trend of big money for point guards on Monday continued even for players under contract for this coming season already. Atlanta's Trae Young agreed to a five-year, $207 million extension that starts in 2022, Klutch Sports announced. And Golden State's Stephen Curry is now eligible to sign a four-year extension that, if he takes the max value, would exceed $215 million.
周一,高价购买控卫的趋势甚至延续到了下赛季的合同球员身上。Klutch Sports宣布,亚特兰大的特雷·杨同意从2022年开始续约,为期五年,价值2.07亿美元。金州勇士队的斯蒂芬·库里现在有资格签下一份为期4年的续约合同,如果他取下顶薪,将超过2.15亿美元。
The NBA’s window for talks opened at 6 p.m. EST Monday, and as has become tradition, it did not take long for handshake deals to commence. No new contracts can be signed until noon Eastern on Friday. The league set the salary cap for this coming season at $112.414 million, with the tax level at $136.606 million.
NBA的谈判窗口在美国东部时间周一下午6点开始,并已经成为传统,握手交易很快就开始了。新的合同要到东部时间周五中午才能签署。联盟为下赛季设定的工资上限为1124.14亿美元,税收水平为1.366.06亿美元。
Miami made the biggest early splash, not just landing Lowry but agreeing to terms with 3-point specialist Duncan Robinson on a deal that would be worth nearly $90 million if all five years are completed. Robinson, a person with knowledge of the deal said, agreed to a contract where four years are guaranteed and the fifth is only so partially. The Heat also lured P.J. Tucker away from NBA champion Milwaukee; Tucker will make around $7 million this season in Miami and holds an option to remain there in 2022-23.
热火队在早期就引起了最大的轰动,他们不仅签下了洛瑞,还与三分专家邓肯·罗宾逊达成了一份价值近9000万美元的协议,如果所有五年的合同都完成的话。据知情人士透露,罗宾逊同意了一份为期四年的合同,而第五年的合同只是其中的一部分。热火还从NBA冠军密尔沃基挖来了P.J.塔克;塔克本赛季在迈阿密的收入约为700万美元,并拥有在2022-23赛季继续留在迈阿密的选择权。
And Miami isn’t done: Not only is this the summer where Bam Adebayo’s five-year, $163 million contract agreed to last fall kicks in, but the Heat plan to finalize an extension that would be worth an average of roughly $45 million annually with Jimmy Butler later this week. Butler and the Heat cannot begin those talks until Friday at the earliest by league rule.
迈阿密还没有结束:今年夏天,不仅阿德巴约与去年秋天签订的5年1.63亿美元的合同开始生效,热火还计划在本周晚些时候与吉米·巴特勒敲定一份平均每年4500万美元的续约合同。根据联盟规定,巴特勒和热火最早要到周五才能开始谈判。
Lowry is leaving Toronto after nine seasons there and helping the Raptors win the 2019 NBA championship. Considered by many the greatest Raptor ever, it’s fitting that his last move with the team amounts to another assist — a sign-and-trade to make sure Toronto got some assets back instead of just seeing him leave as a free agent.
洛瑞在多伦多待了9个赛季后将离开多伦多,并帮助猛龙赢得2019年的NBA总冠军。被许多人认为是猛龙历史上最伟大的球员,他在球队的最后一次行动是另一个助攻——签下并交易,以确保多伦多得到一些资产,而不是看着他作为自由球员离开。
Ball will be acquired by the Bulls from New Orleans in a sign-and-trade deal worth $85 million, Klutch Sports announced. The deal, according to ESPN, also included sending Tomas Satoransky and Garrett Temple from Chicago to the Pelicans. Ball isn't the only guard heading to Chicago; Alex Caruso is leaving the Los Angeles Lakers for the Bulls on a four-year deal worth a reported $37 million.
Klutch体育宣布,公牛队将以8500万美元的先签后换的方式从新奥尔良队收购鲍尔。根据ESPN的报道,这笔交易还包括将芝加哥的托马斯·萨托伦斯基和加勒特·坦普尔送到鹈鹕。鲍尔不是唯一一个前往芝加哥的后卫;亚历克斯·卡鲁索将离开洛杉矶湖人队加盟公牛队,据报道他与公牛的合同为期四年,价值3700万美元。
