[外絮] 暴龍對火箭的四號籤有興趣

原標題：Report: Toronto inquiring about trade for Rockets' No. 4 draft pick (報導：多倫多正詢問火箭四號籤的交易機會) 來源： https://sports.yahoo.com/report-toronto-inquiring-trade-rockets-184716961.html 作者：Ben DuRose 原文＋翻譯： On many occasions of late, it’s been reported that NBA teams are inquiring about making a trade for the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 draft. The general narrative seems to be that given Houston’s existing young core, the Rockets might prefer a veteran influence to help elevate that talent, as opposed to adding yet another prospect. 按照近期的報導，很多NBA 球隊正在詢問關於交易今年選秀四號籤的可能性。普遍上，考 量到目前火箭隊內的眾多年輕核心球員，他們可能更傾向於追求一位老將，以協助這些人 才發揮潛能，而不是獲得另一位新秀。 Now, according to beat writer Kelly Iko, we know the identity of one of those teams. In comments made on Saturday’s The Athletic NBA Show, Iko says the Toronto Raptors have called about a deal. 如今，根據記者Kelly Iko 的說法，目前其中一支隊伍的身份已經為人所知。在星期六的 一場節目上，他表示暴龍隊已經開始交易談判了。 “The Raptors have called,” Iko says on the podcast. “There are teams that still believe that No. 4 is a pretty damn good pick, and there are teams that are going to want to acquire that pick.” Iko 在Podcast 上表示：「有一些球隊仍然認為四號籤是一個非常好的籤，也有想要獲得 該支籤的球隊。」 The Raptors’ own draft pick in 2023 isn’t until No. 13, so the primary compensation would have to come elsewhere. Toronto does have two veteran forwards in OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam that could help the Rockets as they attempt to transition to phase two of their rebuild, but both can become free agents after next season. 暴龍隊本身在今年的首輪籤是十三號，因此主要的補助必須源自於其他地方。多倫多已經 有兩位老將 (OG Anunoby 和 Pascal Siakam)，在火箭隊嘗試進入第二階段重建時能夠助 一臂之力，而他們在下賽季之後可以成為自由球員。 Since Houston isn’t on the verge of contending for a championship, previous reporting has indicated that general manager Rafael Stone would likely prefer to wait until the 2024 offseason and potentially sign such a player in free agency, in that type of scenario. 既然已知休斯頓不是爭冠的隊伍之一，按照先前的報導所指，總管 Rafael Stone 可能更 傾向於等到2024年休賽季後，才在自由市場上簽下相關球員。 Theoretically, Toronto could offer 2021-22 NBA Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes, who is on good terms with Houston’s Jalen Green. But it remains to be seen whether Barnes is potentially on the table and/or if the Rockets would value him enough to lose the No. 4 pick. 理論上，多倫多可能也可以讓出和休斯頓 Jalen Green 關係要好的 2021-22 年度最佳新 秀 Scottie Barnes。但目前無論Barnes 是否會被擺上談判桌，以及／或者火箭隊是否會 願意把四號籤交易出去，都有待觀察。 短評： 如果從先前的其他報導看得出，火箭真的想要追求即戰力老將、並放棄培養新秀，對於重 返季後賽陣容是否會有任何幫助？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.101.171.142 (馬來西亞) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1685239655.A.AD5.html
