Summer Scoop: Big changes for Clips?

1. Will the Clippers offer DeAndre Jordan a five-year max contract this
summer?

快艇會給DeAndre Jordan一紙五年的頂薪合約嗎？

Hell yes. There are always going to be those who don't feel comfortable
giving a five-year, $108.7 million contract to a guy who can't shoot free
throws and oftentimes has to come out of important games because of it. But
if there's one thing we've learned in the new NBA, it's that you don't let
talent leave without getting anything in return.

絕對沒錯!!!!

你要給一個"不會罰球、而且關鍵時刻也因為這原因你不會將他放在場上"的人一張大約，
任何人都會給得不舒坦，具體數字估計應該會在 5年 $108.7M左右。

但我們學到了一件事，不要讓人才白白流失而不換回任何東西。

2. The Dallas Mavericks are expected to make a strong push for Jordan, who
would essentially be a younger version of the Mavs' current defensive anchor
Tyson Chandler. The Lakers would likewise love to steal Jordan away from
their Staples Center rival. Portland has enough cap space to re-sign LaMarcus
Aldridge and make a max offer to Jordan -- who has a similar but far superior
skill set to Robin Lopez -- but he'd just be trading one third-fiddle spot
for another in that scenario.

小牛、湖人、拓荒者都對DeAndre Jordan有興趣。

No other team can offer Jordan more than four years, $80.7 million. But the
26-year-old center could also decide to sign a two-year deal with a player
option on the second year to take advantage of the ballooning salary-cap in
2016. If he were to opt out after that first season, then re-sign for five
more seasons, Jordan could make $162.6 million over the next six seasons.

Jordan可以和其他球隊簽下一份為期四年，總價值8070萬美元的合約。

或者也可以簽個一年同時第二年帶有球員選項。
如果他未來表現出色，可以在第二年跳出合約，到時工資帽上漲。
如果Jordan選擇跳出合約，可以簽下一份五年1.43億美元的大合約。

3. The Clippers' needs are obvious: more depth at small forward, a better
backup big man for Griffin and Jordan, youth, athleticism and defense. It's
going to be hard to meaningfully address all those needs with only minimum
contracts to offer. The Clippers have interest in Lakers swingman Wes
Johnson, according to sources. They also have last year's first-round pick --
shooting guard C.J. Wilcox -- on their bench. Not exactly needle-moving moves.

快艇的需求很顯而易見。
他們需要一名有深度的小前鋒，一名能給Griffin & Jordan打替補的大個子。
要具備年輕、活動力強、防守佳的條件。

但根據快艇現有薪資，以上條件很難達到。
據報導，綜合以上條件，快艇隊湖人的小前鋒Wesley Johnson有興趣，
此外，快艇板凳上還坐著去年的第一輪新秀C.J. Wilcox。

4. The thinking goes something like this: If OKC is genuinely worried Durant
will leave in 2016, they have to look to get something in return for him this
year. Blake Griffin is from Oklahoma City. The Clippers keep topping out in
the second round and might be willing to shake things up. It's a nice theory.
Juicy, too. But neither team has ever seriously discussed it. And Clippers
owner Steve Ballmer has made it clear to the entire organization that he
wants Griffin to be a part of the franchise for his entire career.

思路是這樣的：

如果雷霆真的擔心Kevin Durant會在2016年離開而讓他們一無所獲的話，
他們可能會選擇在下賽季將他交易而得到一些回報。

所以方案應該是：Kevin Durant <--> Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin剛好是在Oklahoma出生的。
快艇沒能過第二輪的瓶頸可能會讓他們選擇做出一些改變。

這個假設很好，但是兩隊至今還沒就這個問題展開任何正式討論。
而且快艇老闆Steve Ballmer曾明確告訴過管理層，他希望Griffin整個生涯都待在快艇。

As Rivers said, you can never say never to major changes. But that's not the
plan right now.

Doc Rivers也說了：「你無法預知事情下一秒的變化，但目前還沒有確實計畫。」
