來源：Dan Woike 在紐約時報的專欄 https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7019025/2026/02/04/lakers-nba-trade-deadline-in tel/ For most of the past month or so leading into the NBA’s trade deadline, team an d league sources have at least entertained the notion that the Los Angeles Laker s could pull something off. 在NBA交易截止日期前的近一個月時間裡，球隊和聯盟的消息人士至少都認為洛杉磯湖人隊 可能會有所作為。 Maybe, if things broke just right, expiring veterans could be bundled into a mor e useful, higher-paid player. Maybe, if their former first-round pick showed sig ns of real growth, the Lakers could recoup some draft assets or even use him as a sweetener in a trade. Maybe the right big man or point-of-attack defender woul d shake loose, and the team could justify using its lone first-round pick to go and get him. 或許，如果一切順利，即將到期的老將們可以打包換來一位更有用、薪水更高的球員。或許 ，如果他們之前的首輪(譯註：指Knecht)展現出成長的跡象，湖人就能收回一些選秀權，甚 至可以把他當作交易的籌碼。或許，一位合適的內線球員或持球防守人會脫穎而出，而湖人 也能找到理由用他們唯一的首輪籤去得到他。 It required squinting, but there was a narrow path. 雖然需要精打細算，但確實有一絲機會。 With Thursday’s trade deadline approaching, that path has only narrowed further . League sources say the Lakers have mostly been pushed to the margins. Some of it is their own doing. The Lakers’ strategy is built on preserving as much cap space as possible next summer when LeBron James’ $52 million contract expires a nd Austin Reaves’ cap hold projects to be half of his eventual salary. They wil l also have another $22.5 million coming off the books when contracts expire for veterans Maxi Kleber and Gabe Vincent. 隨著週四交易截止日的臨近，湖人的出路進一步收窄。聯盟消息人士稱，湖人隊基本上已被 邊緣化。部分原因在於他們自身的問題。湖人隊的策略是盡可能保留薪金空間，因為LeBron 價值5200萬美元的合約將於明年夏天到期，而Reaves的薪金佔用額預計將達到他最終薪水的 一半。此外，老將Kleber和Vincent的合約到期後，湖人隊還將騰出2,250萬美元的薪金空間 。 To date, the Lakers have shown significant reluctance to eat into that space. 迄今為止，湖人隊一直表現出明顯的不願涉足這一領域(指提前佔據26-27薪資空間)的意願 。 League sources said, for example, that the Lakers’ preliminary interest in De’ Andre Hunter centered on whether Jarred Vanderbilt could be included in a deal, because Vanderbilt is owed $12.4 million next season and has a $13.2 million pla yer option in 2027. Acquiring Hunter strictly for expiring contracts would have cost nearly $25 million in future flexibility. The Cleveland Cavaliers ultimatel y traded him to the Sacramento Kings for another Lakers target, Keon Ellis, and for guard Dennis Schroder, who has two years and nearly $30 million remaining on his contract after this year. 例如，聯盟消息人士透露，湖人隊最初對De'Andre Hunter的興趣主要集中在能否將Vanderb ilt納入交易，因為後者下賽季的薪水為1240萬美元，並且在2027年擁有價值1320萬美元的 球員選項。如果僅僅為了解決到期合約而引進Hunter，湖人隊將損失近2500萬美元的未來薪 資空間。最終，克利夫蘭騎士隊將Hunter交易至薩克拉門托國王隊，換來了湖人隊的另一個 目標球員Keon Ellis，以及後衛丹Dennis Schroder，後者本賽季結束後還有兩年近3000萬 美元的合約在身。 If the Lakers preserve their cap space, they could pair it with up to three firs t-round picks to acquire a player outright. They could also make aggressive offe rs to an intriguing class of restricted free agents that includes Denver’s Peyt on Watson, Utah’s Walker Kessler, Houston’s Tari Eason and Detroit’s Jalen Du ren. 如果湖人隊能保持足夠的薪資空間，他們可以將其與最多三個首輪選秀權結合起來，直接交 易得到一名球員。他們還可以向一群頗具吸引力的受限自由球員發出積極的報價，其中包括 丹佛金塊隊的Peyton Watson、猶他爵士隊的Walker Kessler、休斯頓火箭隊的Tari Eason 和底特律活塞隊的Jalen Duren。 Restricted free agency is traditionally a tough road to travel, but the Lakers’ books are clean enough that they could put real pressure on one or two of those teams with aggressive offers. The current value of the team’s expiring contrac ts is functionally zero if the Lakers are unwilling to take on longer-term contr acts in return. 受限制自由球員市場歷來是一條充滿挑戰的道路，但湖人隊的薪資空間足夠寬敞，他們可以 通過積極的報價給一兩支球隊施加真正的壓力。如果湖人不願意接受長期合約作為交換，那 麼球隊現有到期合約的價值實際上為零。 Some rival executives are hearing that the Lakers remain willing to move their 2 031 or 2032 first-round pick for the right wing. The problem is, that player doe sn’t appear to be available, at least at that price point. 一些競爭對手的高層聽說，湖人仍然願意用他們2031年或2032年的首輪選秀權去換一名滿意 的側翼球員。問題是，這名球員似乎並不在交易市場上，至少在這個價位上不太可能。 The Lakers had conversations with New Orleans earlier this season about Herbert Jones and were told the Pelicans intended to keep him. The price for Trey Murphy III, another favorite of some in the Lakers’ organization, was even higher. 本賽季早些時候，湖人隊曾與新奧爾良鵜鶘隊就Herb Jones的轉會進行過洽談，並被告知鵜 鶘隊有意留下他。而Trey Murohy III——湖人隊內部一些人看好的另一位球員——的身價 則更高。 According to league sources, the Lakers have been linked to virtually every defe nsive wing on the market, including Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga, the Clippe rs’ Derrick Jones Jr. and Chicago’s Isaac Okoro. 據聯盟消息人士透露，湖人隊幾乎與市場上所有防守型側翼球員都傳出了緋聞，其中包括金 州勇士隊的Jonathan Kuminga、快艇隊的Derrick Jones Jr.和芝加哥公牛隊的Issac Okoro 。 Kuminga and Jones are currently injured, though. Okoro and Jones also carry cont racts that would cut into cap space next summer, while Kuminga’s contract inclu des a team option for next year. 不過，JK和DJJ目前都因傷缺陣。Okoro和DJJ的合約也會佔用明年夏天的薪資空間，而JK的 合約中包含明年的球隊選項。 That has put the Lakers in a tight spot — yet again — with the team possessing clear needs for roster help but incredibly limited means to acquire it and, per haps, better options in the future that they could limit with the wrong move now . The Lakers have just one second-round pick available to trade in addition to a first. Their 2026 second got sent out in the Marc Gasol sign-and-trade in 2020 , second-round picks in 2027, 2030 and 2031 were sent to Brooklyn last season fo r Dorian Finney-Smith, and their 2028 and 2029 second-rounders were used to acqu ire Rui Hachimura. 這讓湖人隊再次陷入困境——球隊急需補強陣容，但可用的補強手段卻極其有限，而且如果 現在操作失誤，或許也會限制未來遇到更好的選擇。湖人隊除了一個首輪選秀權外，只有一 個次輪選秀權可以交易。他們在2020年Marc Gasol的先簽後換交易中送出了2026年的次輪選 秀權，上賽季為了得到DFS，他們把2027年、2030年和2031年的次輪選秀權都送給了籃網， 而2028年和2029年的次輪選秀權都被用在當初得到八村的交易上。 Second-year wing Dalton Knecht has been viewed around the league as widely avail able since the Lakers included him in the ultimately rescinded Mark Williams las t trade. Team sources say Knecht hasn’t requested a trade, but he would welcome a fresh start. He’s been out of the Lakers’ rotation over the last 10 games. If the Lakers can find a suitor, the return is expected to be very low. 二年級側翼球員DK自從湖人隊將他加入最終被取消的Mark Williams交易後，就一直被聯盟 視為潛在的交易對象。球隊消息人士稱，DK並未提出交易申請，但他渴望重新開始。過去十 場比賽，他一直被排除在湖人隊的輪換陣容之外。如果湖人隊最終能找到合適的買家，預計 得到的回報將非常低。 Naji Marshall has also generated interest around the Lakers, though the pathways to any deal with the Dallas Mavericks after the Luka Don i trade last season h ave gigantic “road closed” signs all over them. The same is probably true for Daniel Gafford. Naji Marshall也引起了湖人隊的興趣，但自從上賽季77被交易到達拉斯獨行俠後，獨行俠 與湖人隊達成任何交易的可能性都幾乎為零。Gafford的情況可能也類似。 Sources inside the Lakers locker room are fans of Brooklyn center Day’Ron Sharp e, who had 19 points and 14 rebounds in the Nets’ loss to the Lakers on Tuesday night. 湖人隊更衣室內部的消息人士稱，他們是布魯克林籃網隊中鋒Day'Ron Sharpe的球迷，夏普 在周二(台時間2/4)晚上籃網隊輸給湖人隊的比賽中得到 19 分和 14 個籃板。 The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade chase could create ripples beneficial to the Lak ers. As teams maneuver for financial flexibility, the Lakers’ expiring deals an d future first-round pick could get them in conversations for high-end role play ers like Minnesota’s Donte DiVincenzo or Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen, though tho se scenarios are dependent on the Lakers’ expiring money landing with a third t eam (and the Lakers having limited sweeteners to incentivize teams to aid in a d eal). And if Antetokounmpo remains in Milwaukee through the deadline, many suito rs would have more flexibility in the summer to rearrange their books. 各方針對字母哥的交易爭奪戰可能會為湖人帶來一些利多。隨著各隊尋求財務靈活性，湖人 即將到期的合約和未來的首輪選秀權可能會讓他們有機會與明尼蘇達灰狼隊的Dante DiVinc enzo或克利夫蘭騎士隊的Jarret Allen這樣的頂級角色球員展開談判。當然，這些可能性都 取決於湖人即將到期的合約最終能否被第三方球隊拿下（以及湖人是否有足夠誘人的條件來 促成交易）。如果字母哥在交易截止日期前留在密爾瓦基公鹿隊，那麼許多有意向的球隊將 在夏季擁有更大的操作空間來調整他們的薪資結構。 No one internally is writing off the possibility that the Lakers will look diffe rent after Thursday’s trade deadline. Rival teams still describe them as “acti ve.” But the reality is their lack of draft assets, players with trade value an d focus on the summer could mean meaningful changes are more likely to come late r rather than now. 湖人隊內部沒有人排除在週四交易截止日後球隊陣容變化的可能性。其他球隊仍然稱他們“ 非常活躍”。但現實情況是，由於缺乏選秀權、缺乏有交易價值的球員，以及球隊將重點放 在夏季休賽期，真正意義上的改變可能要到以後才會發生，而不是現在。 譯按及心得：這是Dan Woike在紐約時報上整理有關湖人交易動向的文章，裡面提到最近一 些目標大熱門，但以Woike作為現僅存的湖人喉舌身份來看，管理層可能真的不會有交易動 作... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.169.2.86 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Lakers/M.1770220821.A.D4B.html
