hony Davis

With Durant seemingly on the way out, the door has now opened once again for I
rving to find his way out of Brooklyn and back with his former teammate LeBron
James on the Lakers. But the Lakers could also have their eye on Durant himse
lf as they try to push back into championship contention.
隨著KD似乎即將離開，KI現在再次打開大門，讓他找到離開籃網的出路，並與他的前隊友
LBJ一起回在湖人重聚。但是湖人也可以將目光投向KD，因為他們試圖重新回到冠軍爭奪
戰中。
A deal for Durant would require the team to offer up big man Anthony Davis as
there are few more talented players the Nets could bring back in a trade. Buta
ccording to Jovan Buha and Sam Amick of The Athletic, there is no chance of a
Durant deal to the Lakers for Davis, though there is mutual interest in an Irv
ing deal:
若湖人要一起換KD，勢必得出AD。但根據記
者Jovan Buha和Sam Amick，湖人不會為了KD
而丟出AD，儘管球隊和KI雙方都對彼此有興趣。
As for the prospect of the Lakers trying to get in on the Durant sweepstakes t
hemselves, perhaps by making Davis available in the process, a source close to
the situation put the chances at “zero.” Their focus, it seems, is on Irvin
g. And vice versa.
根據消息表示，湖人拿AD去換KD的機率為0，他們重點仍然是KI。
It has been reported that the Phoenix Suns or Miami Heat are the preferred des
tinations for Durant, and both of those teams can put together very good trade
packages for the star wing. It remains the purple and gold who Irving has his
eyes on, however.
太陽和熱火是KD的點名想去的球隊，兩隻球隊都能提供很好的交易包裹，但KI關注的仍然
是湖人。
Of course any deal for Irving would have to include Russell Westbrook, but iti
s unclear what else the Lakers would have to throw in to the trade to make it
happen.
KI的交易一定得包進龜龜，但還不確定還需要加入籌碼什麼才能讓交易成真。
It would seem logical that either or both of Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick
Nunn would be in the deal along with at least one of the Lakers’ available fi
rst-round draft picks in 2027 or 2029. Regardless, the Lakers are focused on g
etting that deal done which would mark a massive shakeup from last season.
THT或Nunn中的一個或兩個加上至少一個2027或2029的首輪籤比較合乎邏輯，無論如何湖
人都專注於讓這交易完成，以完成上賽季陣容上的大規模重組。
The team has already come to agreements on a couple of young players, but an I
rving deal would truly move the needle and possibly launch the Lakers right ba
ck in the mix of top championship contenders next season.
湖人已經和幾名年輕球員達成協議，但KI的交易將真正改變現狀，並可能讓湖人在下賽季
重新成為頂級冠軍競爭者。
One area where the Lakers sorely need to improve on from last season is their
outside shooting. The team had minimal reliable players capable of consistentl
y knocking down 3-pointers and that is a point of emphasis for the front offic
e this offseason.
與上賽季相比，湖人迫切需要改進的一個部分是他們的外線投籃。球隊只有很少的可靠球
員能夠持續命中三分球，這是休賽季管理層的重點。
The potential Irving trade would not only bring the Lakers one of the most tal
ented players in the NBA, but also someone who can help greatly in that depart
ment. Irving is a career 39.3% shooter from deep and has shot 40% or better in
five of the last six seasons.
潛在的KI交易不僅會讓湖人得到NBA最有天賦的球員之一，而且還會讓湖人在投射有很大
的幫助。KI職業生涯有39.3%的三分命中率，並且在過去六個賽季中有五個賽季的命中率
達到了40% 或更高。
The Lakers believe acquiring Irving will greatly help in addressing their shoo
ting, and there is also the possibility of someone like Seth Curry or Joe Harr
is also being involved in a potential deal as well.
湖人相信得到KI將極大地幫助他們解決投籃問題，而且像小咖哩或喬哈這樣的球員也有可
能參與潛在的交易。

AD不賣，只要KI
