Bob Myers talks draft, free agency and retaining Andre Iguodala
制服組對於選秀跟小AI合約的看法

OAKLAND — Most of the Warrior team went to Las Vegas this past weekend to
continue their title celebration. But the architect of the team, Bob Myers,
was forced to stay back, preparing for the NBA Draft, which is Thursday, and
free agency, which starts July 1.
勇士的球員大部份都已經去賭城爽一下，但是制服組Bob Myers（以下簡稱BM）得留下來
準備選秀跟簽自由球員。

In advance, Myers met with the media on Monday, saying most of his focus is
locked into the draft because it is sooner, despite the Warriors holding none
of Thursday night’s 60 picks. Just like last year — when they purchased a
pick from the Bucks in the second round and snagged Patrick McCaw — he has
the go ahead from ownership to buy a pick if the scenario makes sense.
星期一BM跟媒體碰面談選秀，雖然今年勇士跟去年一樣沒籤，但是去年他們跟別隊買了
二輪籤然後撿到McCaw；所以今年可能也想這樣辦...

“In there on our board we have a ‘B’ next to our players who we would buy
a pick for, in red,” Myers said, pointing up toward his office. “So there
are guys we would buy a pick for. If you snuck in there, it would be fun to
see.”
你有辦法偷溜進去看的話，會很有趣的喔~」

The draft comes first. But free agency is far more important for this
franchise this year. The Warriors only have five players under contract for
next season. Ten of the players who finished the season on the roster are
unrestricted free agents.
雖然選秀先要處理，但是對球隊來說，簽自由球員比選秀更重要。下一季勇士只有5個球  
員仍在合約中，剩下的10個球員下一季就都是自由球員了。

The two most important, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, are expected back on
big deals. But after that, the roster shuffling could get complicated.
最重要的兩個大物，KD跟Curry，會回來簽大約；其他誰會回來輪值表就很複雜了。

If Durant is willing to take a paycut — and all indications are he is open
to a $31.8 million salary next season instead of the estimated $35.3, which
is his max — then the Warriors will have the ability to retain Andre Iguodala
’s bird rights and go over the cap to bring their veteran wing back.
如果KD願意減薪，從3530萬鎂降到3180萬鎂，這樣就可能可以保留小AI的鳥權然後也可以
把其他一些老將簽回來。

Everything up until Monday, including Iguodala’s public comments, hinted
that the organization and player had already hashed out a plan to make the
partnership work, somewhere likely in the $12 million per year range.
星期一之前，包括像小AI自己的評論，都說小AI應該會回鍋，簽下一個大概是年均1200萬
鎂的合約。

But on Monday, The Vertical reported that Iguodala could get offers somewhere
near $18-$20 million from other suitors and he was willing to at least grant
meetings and listen to overtures. Myers said, per league rules, he couldn’t
discuss the situation much.
但是星期一的時候，沃神團隊就爆料說有其他的隊伍願意給小AI1800到2000萬鎂的合約，
小AI也願意跟其他隊見面談談看。但是根據規定，BM不能發表太多意見。

“I don’t know,” Myers said. “Free agency is predictably unpredictable. We
love Andre. Hopefully we can find a way to make it work for not just him but
all of our guys. But as far as specifics, there’s not a lot — and the rules
make sense — there’s not a lot we can say definitively one way or the other.


Once the Warriors sort out the future of those three vital pieces, they’ll
likely move on to Shaun Livingston, who is in a similar situation to
Iguodala. If Durant takes that paycut, the Warriors can go over the cap to
sign him, but it’s unlikely they’ll offer near the money he could get on
the open market, should he want to explore.


Then once all of that is sorted out — and that’ll likely come in a flash in
early July — the Warriors can move on to the center position, where they won
’t have much more than veteran minimum contracts to offer.
這四個球員解決完，再來就是中鋒惹，勇士大概就是給老將底薪。

“We still feel like it’s an important position, but we just have a lot of
money in other positions,” Myers said of the center. “It’s not as if we
devalue the center spot. Depending on what’s available, depending on what
our options are, we like a lot of guys on our team. We’ll look at them. But
we’ll look at the marketplace and see what makes sense.”
「我們仍然認為中鋒是重要的，只是我們把錢都花在其他位置上了。」
「並不是我們認為中鋒沒價值，現在就是看市場上有什麼，我們有多少錢可以買。我們隊
上的球員我們都很喜歡，但是我們還是會看看市場上有什麼球員，然後挑合理的買。」

The team values its incumbents: Zaza Pachulia, David West and JaVale McGee.
All three provided great value this past season. But there are other veteran
big man options to explore — most notably Zach Randolph, should he opt to
leave Memphis and sign below his market value.
勇士認為他們目前的三個中鋒，喳喳，大衛西跟MyBoy，都很不錯。但是市場上也還有幾
個大個老將--特別是灰熊的Zach Randolph--應該會選擇離開灰熊。

Whatever happens, the Warriors will be loaded next season because all four of
their All-Stars are expected back. But the next few weeks will provide more
clarity, for next year and beyond, about the second layer of their rotation
and the fringe of their roster.
不管發生什麼，勇士的四巨頭明年都會在。再來的這幾週，關於明年甚至後年的輪值狀
況，應該都會明朗許多。
