馬刺目標是明年的熱門狀元Victor Wembanyama
Well, it happened. Dejounte Murray was traded for the proverbial truckload of dr
aft picks and Lonnie Walker is an unrestricted free agent. Some fans might think
this is the end of the world and are questioning what the Spurs are doing, but
it’s really not a bad move.
Dejounte Murray的交易換回來了一卡車選秀權，Lonnie Walker成為不受限制的自由球員(
目前已和湖人簽約)。 一部份的球迷可能會質疑馬刺隊在做什麼，但這真的不是一步錯棋。
The main caveat to consider behind all of this is next year's draft. Next year V
ictor Wembanyama is available. Who? You may ask.
這一切背後需要考慮的主要原因是明年的選秀 Victor Wembanyama，你可能會問這誰？
Wembanyama, if you don’t already know, might be the highest touted European pro
spect since Luka Doncic. Wembanyama is an 18-year-old French basketball player w
ho's been playing professional basketball since he was 15. Wembanyama most recen
tly played for ASVEL in the French League LNB Pro A and the Turkish Airlines Eur
oLeague, the second most competitive league in the world and the top-tier league
in Europe.
He signed a two-year contract with Pro A's Metropolitans 92 on Thursday, June 30
.
如果你還不知道Wembanyama是誰的話，他可能是自Luka Doncic以來最受被吹捧的歐洲新秀
。 Wembanyama是一名18歲的法國籃球運動員，從15歲開始就一直在打職業籃球。 Wemban
yama最近在法國LNB Pro A聯賽中為ASVEL隊效力，該聯賽是世界上第二大聯賽，也是歐洲的
頂級聯賽。6月30日，他與 Pro A的Metropolitans 92簽訂了一份為期兩年的合約。
He's listed at a daunting 7-foot-3-inches tall, with a 7-foot-9-inch wingspan, b
ut might actually be taller. Wembanyama certainly looks bigger standing next to
7-footer and recent No. 2 overall draft pick Chet Holmgren.

他有著驚人的7'3身高，臂展更是有7'9。 Wembanyama站在今年的榜眼Chet Holmgren的旁邊
更顯得高大。
Wembanyama's numbers might seem unimpressive from the Pro A, averaging 9.4 point
s and 4.3 rebounds per game. But adjusted to per 36 minutes stats they’re at 18
.4 points and 10 rebounds. Keep in mind that's at 18 years old in an adult profe
ssional league. Regardless, he helped ASVEL capture the 2022 Pro A title and won
the Pro A Best Young Player Award in 2021 and 2022.
Wembanyama在Pro A聯賽中的數據是場均9.4分和4.3個籃板，看起來並不令人印象深刻， 但
如果調整為每36分鐘的數據，他得分可以來到18.4分和10個籃板。 請記住，這是他以18歲
的年紀在成人職業聯賽的成績。 無論如何，他幫助ASVEL獲得了2022年Pro A冠軍，並在202
1年和2022年獲得了Pro A最佳年輕球員獎。

而在另一篇spurstalk記者LJ Ellis報導
Hours after extending the qualifying offer to Lonnie Walker IV to make him a res
tricted free agent, the Spurs rescinded the qualifying offer. Walker promptly si
gned with the Los Angeles Lakers.
馬刺開QO給Lonnie Walker IV讓他成為受限制自由球員，數小時後馬刺收回QO。 隨後Walke
r迅速與洛杉磯湖人隊簽約。
According to a person close to the situation, Walker asked the Spurs to rescind
the qualifying offer so that he could maximize his value in free agency by becom
ing an unrestricted free agent. As it turned out, Walker’s contract with the La
kers (one year for $6.5 million) was basically identical to his qualifying offer
據知情人士透露，這是Walker主動要求馬刺撤回QO，這樣他就可以成為一名不受限制的自由
球員，實現自己在自由市場上的價值最大化。 不過事實證明，Walker與湖人簽的合約(一年
650萬美元)與他的QO基本相同。
Pulling Walker’s qualifying offer increased San Antonio’s cap space from aroun
d $26 million to nearly $40 million. So, what do the Spurs plan to do with all t
hat room? As expected, it doesn’t appear like the Spurs will make a move for re
stricted free agent Deandre Ayton.
馬刺收回Walker的QO後，使馬刺的薪金空間從2600萬美元增加到近4000萬美元。 那麼，馬
刺打算用這些空間做什麼呢? 正如預期的那樣，馬刺目前無意追求Ayton。
The likeliest outcome is the Spurs renting out their cap room. For example, they
could absorb a bad contract (say, Russell Westbrook) in exchange for draft capi
tal (say, two minimally protected first round picks).
最有可能的是馬刺更想利用這部分空間吃進其他球隊想擺脫垃圾約例如（.....），同時收
取選秀權作為報酬。
