Report: Jimmy Butler Won't Miss Regular-Season Games If T-Wolves Don't Trade
Him
若是灰狼沒把他交易走，Jimmy Butler不會缺席正規賽事

While the Minnesota Timberwolves may trade star swingman Jimmy Butler in the
coming days, he "doesn't plan to miss regular-season games" if he is still on
the team, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Wednesday.
在灰狼在接下來幾天內有可能會把搖擺人Jimmy Butler給交易走的同時，但是若是沒交易
掉，根據沃神星期三的報導，Butler計畫不會缺席正規賽季賽事。

Butler still hasn't decided when or if he will practice with the team, but he
will apparently play if he is healthy for the Oct. 17 season opener.
Butler還不確定會不會或何時會與球隊一起練球，但是若身體健康無虞的話，他一定會打
10/17的開幕戰。

Wojnarowski also reported the Timberwolves have been "consistently engaged"
in trade talks with the Miami Heat regarding Butler.
沃神也說灰狼持續與熱火談有關Butler的交易。

The situation has already lasted longer than Minnesota was hoping for after
Butler requested a trade in September.
在Butler九月要求吹密之後，這膠著的狀況持續的比原先灰狼所預期的來的久。

The team made a trade its "organizational focus" after locking down
Karl-Anthony Towns with an extension, according to Shams Charania of The
Athletic, while owner Glen Taylor reportedly wanted him dealt within several
days, per Wojnarowski.
根據Shams Charania的消息，灰狼球隊在續簽下Karl-Anthony Towns之後開始交易
Butler；而且根據沃神消息，灰狼老闆Glen Taylor被報希望可以在幾天內可以把Butler交
易掉。

That was almost two weeks ago.
那已經兩個禮拜前了。

Butler was given a week away from the team while the T-Wolves sorted through
trade offers, but he remains on the roster with the start of the regular
season less than two weeks away.
Butler被允許一個禮拜不用隨隊，灰狼在此同時也在想方設法交易，但是距離開季不到兩
個禮拜，Butler的名字目前還是在先發名單上。

According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, Butler's camp has gotten
"increasingly frustrated with Minnesota’s handling of trade talks."
根據Sam Amick，Butler團隊對灰狼在與其他隊伍談交易的手法讓他們"越來越沮喪"。

The Timberwolves' asking price for the four-time All-Star remains "too steep"
for interested suitors, according to Wojnarowski, which has slowed down the
process. Knowing Butler likely won't sit out regular-season games provides
Minnesota with a safety net in negotiations.
灰狼對這位四屆全明星定出的價碼對有興趣的球隊來說實在太高，根據沃神，這讓交易的
狀況緩慢下來。在知道Butler可能不會在正規賽季坐旁邊看，這讓灰狼在與其他各隊談交
易時有了定心丸。
