And with Durant out for next season, and Thompson set to miss a majority of it, the Western Conference is once again wide open. 多倫多暴龍隊在ＮＢＡ總決賽場上擊倒勇士--有很大的程度上是因為ＫＤ和ＫＴ的倒下， 他們的王朝毀於一旦，並且隨著ＫＤ下整季的缺席、ＫＴ預計也缺席大半個賽季，西區的 王座再一次向其他球隊發出挑戰信。 Sensing their opportunity to finally break through in the West, the Utah Jazz became the latest team to bolster their roster on Wednesday, swinging a trade for veteran point guard Mike Conley. In exchange, the Jazz sent Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder and two first-round picks to the Memphis Grizzlies. 嗅到有機會衝出西區的猶他爵士，於星期三加強了球隊的陣容，把Mike Conley，一名久 經沙場的控球後衛給交易過來。作為交換，爵士把Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder 和兩支第一輪選秀籤送至灰熊。 There is still plenty of action to come both in the draft and in free agency, but at least for now, SportsLine's projections have the move vaulting the Jazz from the No. 7 seed in the West to the No. 2 seed, and increasing their chances of winning the conference by over 10 percent. This deal may not be a blockbuster in terms of starpower, but it could be more impactful than most moves that go down this summer. 在自由市場與選秀間依然會有許多交易事件發生，但是以目前來說，SportsLine's 預測下個球季爵士的排名將從西區第七升至西區第二，也提升了超過10%贏得西區冠軍的機 率。就星度而言，這筆交易或許非重磅交易，但跟多數暑期交易來比已具有相當程度之影 響力。 Here are the trade grades for each team. 下述為兩隊之交易評級 Jazz receive: Mike Conley Grizzlies receive: Jae Crowder，Kyle Korver，Grayson Allen，Two first-round picks, including No. 23 overall in 2019 爵士獲得:Mike Conley 灰熊獲得Jae Crowder, Kyle Korver, Grayson Allen, 兩支第一輪選秀權籤—其中一支 為2019年的23順位籤。 Utah trade grade: A 猶他爵士交易評價：Ａ The Jazz have been quite successful in the regular season recently, winning at least 48 games in each of the past three seasons. They haven't been able to translate that success into the playoffs, however, where it quickly becomes clear that they're overmatched against the elite teams. 近幾個季賽爵士表現地相當成功，過去三季每季都至少贏得48場比賽。然而，他們沒有把 常規賽的成功延續至季後賽，季後賽驗證了他們不足以對抗菁英球隊。 But heading into next season, the two teams that have knocked them out in each of the past three postseasons, the Warriors and Houston Rockets, are in disarray. Meanwhile, the only other team to emerge as a contender, the Los Angeles Lakers, have just three meaningful players on their roster (LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma), and plenty of work to do to build out a supporting cast. 但是進入到下個賽季，曾經在季後賽擊敗過爵士的勇士與火箭都已陷入一團糟。同時間， 唯一另一隻看起來要崛起的球隊湖人，還有一段補強之路要走，因為隊上只有三名有意義 的球員(LBJ, AD, Kuzma)。 While there's still plenty of change to come this summer, the West looks wide open, and the Jazz were in as good of a position as anyone to jump into contention with one big move, and that's exactly what they've done by dealing for Conley. 雖然這暑假仍會有大量的變化發生，但在西區人人有機會，爵士與任何想透過交易來成為 頭銜競爭者的球隊一樣，下出Conley的這步棋使他們能處在爭奪頭銜之位置上。 The veteran point guard will slide right into the team's starting lineup, where he's not only an upgrade over Ricky Rubio, but a better fit. A strong defender, he'll help maintain, and possibly even boost one of the best units on that side of the ball, while also improving their offense in a big way. So much of the Jazz's struggles in the playoffs have revolved around not being able to find enough scoring, and Conley will be a big help in rectifying that problem. 這名資深的控球後衛會直接作為先發上場，他不只是Ricky Rubio的進化版，而且也更加 適合球隊。身為一位強大的防守者，他將協助維持甚至加強團隊的防守，同時也能提供大 量的進攻火力。因此爵士在季後賽進攻端總是找不到足夠的火力問題，在Conley的到來後 將改善許多。 Conley is another player who can create his own shot, scoring over 60 percent of his field goals unassisted last season, which is vital for a Jazz team short on shot creators. In addition, he'll be a much bigger threat playing off the ball than Rubio was. Though not an elite shooter, he's made 37.5 percent of his 3-point attempts for his career, and shot just under 40 percent on catch-and-shoot 3s last season. Opposing defenses won't be able to ignore Conley around the perimeter and clog the paint to the extent that they could when Rubio was on the floor. That alone will make life much easier for the Jazz on offense. 在上一季，Conley是個能夠自己創造空間、自己運球投進超過60%命中數的球員，這對爵 士來說補上這位運球投籃手是至關重要的。除此之外，他在無球進攻上比Rubio還更具有 威脅性。儘管他不是個菁英射手，但他生涯仍能在三分線上保持37.5%的命中率、且在上 季三分球C&S也擁有微低於40%的命中率。防守人員不能輕忽在外線的Conley、將防守內縮 至禁區，因為Conley不是Rubio。單單如此就足以讓爵士的進攻端鬆了一大口氣。 Plus, the best part of the deal for the Jazz is they didn't have to give up much to get him. Allen doesn't appear to be any sort of high-end prospe ct, Korver is nearing the end of his career and Crowder is a replaceable wing. Plus, if things work out the way they hope, those draft picks will be late in the first round. 還有最棒的事情是爵士並沒有交出太多籌碼就取得Conley。Allen前景不被看好、Korver 已屆退休之齡還有Crowder是個可取代的搖擺人。至於第一輪選秀籤，若接下來一切順利 ，那麼那支籤也只不過是支第一輪後段的籤。 The window to getting out of the West is as open as it's going to be for the next few seasons, and credit to the Jazz for trying to go for it. 在接下來幾個賽季，爵士憑藉自身的努力，衝出西區的那扇門已經敞開。 Memphis trade grade: C 曼菲斯灰熊交易評級:C As a small-market franchise, the Grizzlies made the decision to hold on to their longtime stars, Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, for as long as possible to try and stay competitive. That was a reasonable decision, and though things fell apart the last few seasons, they had as good of a run as they could have expected over the past decade or so. 身為小市場球隊，灰熊曾為了保持競爭力，決定長期留下Marc Gasol跟 Mike Conley 這 兩位早期就待在球隊的球星。這是一個合理的決定，雖說在前幾季球隊就已分崩離析，但 過去的十幾年內他們也曾打得如他們預期般那樣的好。 The consequence for holding onto Gasol and Conley for that long was that when they finally decided to trade them, their value had diminished to the point that they could no longer command any sort of major return. We saw that with the Gasol deal to the Toronto Raptors, and we're seeing it again with the Conley trade. 而長期留下Gasol與Conley的後果導致當球團下定決心要交易他們時，他們的價值已早無 法換得任何高價值的回報。我們在灰熊與多倫多暴龍隊的交易上可觀察出此情形，現在我 們又一次能在Conley的交易案上看出此況。 This isn't a disaster or anything; the Grizzlies didn't get swindled, this is just a reflection of where Conley's value is at now. He's soon to be 32, on a huge contract and recently missed nearly an entire season due to injury. So, in return for him they got one middling prospect, some salary filler and a few late first-round picks. They probably weren't going to be able to do any better than that at this point. 這不是災難還什麼的，灰熊也不是被敲詐，這只是反映了現在Conley價值而已。他即將就 要邁入32歲且伴隨著鉅額的合約，最近也曾因傷缺席大半個賽季。因此，送出Conley後， 他們得到了一位中等潛力的球員、一些湊薪資空間的球員與少許籤。在現階段，這恐怕是 他們能夠做出最好的交易了。 Allen is worth a look, but he's about to be 24 and didn't look all that great in his rookie season. If they aren't able to flip Korver for some additional draft assets, they may just buy him out. Crowder is a hard worker and will be a good veteran to have around, and they may be able to flip him at some point to a contender looking to bolster their team ahead of the playoffs. And as a rebuilding team, getting additional first-round picks is never a bad thing. Allen 值得一試，不過他將要24歲了而且於新秀賽季他的表現看起來不佳。如果球團無法 把Korver換成其他支籤，那麼他也許會被買斷。Crowder是位認真的球員，擁有這樣的資 深球員也還不錯，也有可能被交易至一些需要補強的季後賽球隊。對於重建中的灰熊，擁 有越多的第一輪選秀籤總不是什麼壞事。 With Conley gone, the Grizzlies are in full-on rebuild mode, and are expected to take Ja Morant to replace him as the team's point guard of the future. In Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., their first-round pick from last season, the Grizzlies look like they might have the first components of a bright future. Still, there's a long road and plenty of hard work in front of them before they reach the heights that Conley and Co. took the Grizzlies. 隨著Conley的離去，灰熊進入了完全重建狀態，也預期在今年的選秀大會上選下Ja Morant以取代Conley成為未來的先發控球後衛。擁有Morant與Jaren Jackson Jr.(灰熊上 一季所選的第一輪新秀)，灰熊看起來已經擁有了踏上光明未來的第一塊拼圖。不過，要 達到Conley和Gasol的高度前，依然有漫長的重建路與重建工作仍在前方等著他們。 心得:快速翻了一下灰熊的歷史，不禁為現在的狀況感到難過但充滿期待。 (第一次翻譯外電，還請大家多多指教。) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.160.60.101 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1561220567.A.29D.html
