The dark cloud of NBA free agency has been looming over the Warriors' head
since the season began. Yet while everyone around the league is wondering
where Kevin Durant will end up this summer, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith thinks
Golden State should be more concerned with soothing another one of their
disgruntled superstars.

從賽季一開始，自由球員的話題就一直圍繞在勇士身上。
聯盟中的每個人都想知道今夏結束後Kevin Durant到底會去什麼地方。
ESPN的Stephen A. Smith則認為勇士應該關心隊中另一位內心不滿的球星。

As known, Stephen A. Smith is notorious for "hearing" things around the
sports world. And on Tuesday, Smith went on record claiming a source told him
Klay Thompson is tired of being overshadowed by Golden State's stacked roster.

眾所皆知，Stephen A. Smith喜歡用"我聽說"來發表言論而在體育界臭名昭彰。
美國時間周二，Stephen A. Smith透露一名消息人士告訴他，
Klay Thompson已經厭倦在勇士處在其他人的影子下所扮演的角色了。

"I'm told Klay Thompson isn't happy, his number hasn't been called nearly
enough," Smith said. "He's tired of sitting around and getting quote/unquote—
this is a quote—'the crumbs' left behind by other people."

Stephen A. Smith表示：

「我被告知Klay Thompson很不開心，他的背號被提到的次數和之前比起來遠遠不夠，
他已經厭倦了坐在角落，等著撿別人剩下的麵包屑了。」

Although Klay doesn't generate the same star power as KD or Steph Curry,
Thompson is highly regarded as one of the NBA's most efficient players. His
offensive versatility and defensive prowess makes him a key two-way player in
Golden State's system. Also, it just so happens that Thompson, like Durant,
will hit the free agency market when their season comes to a close. Because
it is suspected that KD's desire to be great will force him to leave the
Warriors, Smith states that multiple league insiders have urged Golden State
to put an emphasis on making Thompson feel valuable so he isn't inclined to
part ways with the organization.

儘管Kaly沒有像KD或者Curry那樣的影響力，但Klay被認為是NBA最有效率的球員之一。
他的進攻多樣性和防守實力使他成為勇士陣中的關鍵雙面球員。

和KD一樣，當賽季結束時，Klay將成為完全自由球員。
由於外界都懷疑KD可能因渴望偉大而會離開勇士，
Stephen A. Smith表示多名聯盟內部人士已催促勇士，
要讓Klay感到在隊中是有其價值的，這樣他才不會傾向於離開球隊。

"From what I'm told, even individuals like Pat Riley have spoken to folks
within the Warriors organization to say, 'your priority had better be keeping
the Splash Bros. together,'" Smith disclosed. "Not only had they heard that
from Pat Riley... they heard it from Jerry West... they heard it from others."

Stephen A. Smith繼續說道：

「據我所知，即使像Pat Riley這樣的人曾和勇士內部說過『你們應優先考慮留下浪花
兄弟』，不只Riley這樣說，我還從Jerry West以及其他人那聽到類似的說法。」
