[ Lowe ] It's hard to find a realistic path financially in which all 3 stars are on the Thunder in 18-19, but I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this year. ( twitter.com )
名記 Zach Lowe：從球隊薪金角度出發，想讓安東尼、喬治和威少這三員大將都在下賽季結束後續約基本上算是不太現實的，但這個賽季，我會好好享受他們的比賽。

a few months ago it was probably harder to find a realistic path for the 3 them to end up on the 17-18 Thunder
幾個月前誰能想到雷霆能組成龜椒瓜三巨頭？他們不還是做到瞭嗎。

Which is why I wouldn't put it past Presti to figure out how to keep everyone, especially if they want to be there. Some real playoff success and the big three might be flexible in their salary demands/options/renegotiations.
這就是為什麼我不會把話說得太早，普雷斯蒂的錦囊妙計可能還沒有被畫上句號，尤其是假如這三個人都願意留隊的話，他們都續約也不是不可能的事。要是雷霆在季後賽有所作為，那三巨頭（為瞭維持陣容）也可能用開友情價、合同選項、重新談判等方式靈活地處理續約問題。

I'd say it comes down to how far they make it. Gotta be able to take GSW or Spurs to the distance. I don't think beating the Twolves or Rockets in 7 will be enough honestly since they're a big 3 now vs 2 young guys and a star or 2 stars.
我認為這取決於雷霆這個賽季能走多遠。雷霆得使勇士或者馬刺陷入苦戰才能說服這三個人留隊。老實說，我並不覺得在七場內擊敗森林狼或者火箭就夠瞭，因為他們現在是三巨頭，而森林狼和火箭（的核心）分別隻是兩名年輕球員（唐斯 + 維金斯 ) + 一名明星球員（巴特勒）和兩名明星球員（哈登、保羅）。

In terms of cap situation, the Thunder have the rights to sign all of them to maxes if they wanted to, right? They'd just have no bench budget and pay out the butt in luxury tax?
就工資帽的情況來說，隻要雷霆願意，他們就有權為三巨頭都奉上頂薪，對麼？不過這樣他們的板凳球員就得縮水，還得付一大筆奢侈稅？

Pay luxury tax... these are foreign words to us.
雷霆球迷：付奢侈稅 … 對我們來說不存在的。

We have paid the luxury tax multiple times.
雷霆球迷：我們已經付過很多次奢侈稅瞭好麼。

We are paying it now
雷霆球迷：我們正付著呢。

Yeah, what do people view the chances Melo stays?
And if not, what teams are the favorites for him?
沒錯，大傢覺得安東尼留隊的幾率有多大？
如果要走，哪些球隊對他來說是首選？

Will be hard for him to find his way to a contender as a FA without a massive pay cut. Hard to figure out where he might go.
不大幅降薪的話，安東尼很難以自由球員身份加盟爭冠球隊。所以，他會去哪真的很難說。
[ – ] Wolves BandwagonRoyalLake 92 指標 19 小時前
That's what I'm thinking too.
His FA will be really interesting.
我也是這麼想的。甜瓜明年進入自由市場後，那場面一定會很有意思。
[ – ] TimberwolvesSupercool_Beas 80 指標 18 小時前
Melo to the Wolves plz.
I want a crunch time lineup of KAT, Melo, Buckets, Wiggs, and Teague.
森林狼球迷：甜瓜啊，求求你來森林狼吧。
我多希望比賽的關鍵時刻，我們場上的陣容是唐斯、安東尼、巴特勒、威金斯和蒂格。
[ – ] Wolves BandwagonRoyalLake 80 指標 18 小時前
Is he good? Yes.
Would he be a good fit? Not so sure...
I want a defensive PF. I'll take one Draymond though.
森林狼球迷：安東尼好不好？當然好。
他是最適合球隊的人選嗎？還不確定 …
我想要一名防守型大前鋒。比起安東尼，我可能會選擇追夢格林。
[ – ] Raptors BandwagonShaolinCheesecake 31 指標 18 小時前 *
I think he's definitely opting in, his player option is way higher than anything he'll get on the open market. So OKC should have 2 years of Guaranteed Melo.
我覺得安東尼一定會留隊，執行球員選項拿的薪水比自由市場的報價會高得多。所以，雷霆在未來兩年都不會失去安東尼。

Thunder need a rebrand with Zeus in there somewhere. they are definitely favoured by the gods ( minus no rings )
雷管這波操作直接封神。他們一定受到瞭上帝的眷顧（現在就差奪冠瞭）。

financially it's almost unlikely. paying 100+million in tax for 34 year old Melo/PG/Russ/Adams would be something. If they win sure but if they likely lose?
從薪金角度來看，（三巨頭同時留隊）幾乎不可能。為瞭維持甜瓜（屆時 34 歲）、喬治、威少、亞當斯的陣容，連上奢侈稅支出超過一億美金可不是一件小事。要是他們能贏得冠軍，老板當然願意砸錢，但他們贏不瞭呢？後者的可能性更大啊。

Yea and melo still has his NTC and I have a hard time believing he opts out of his deal. Be tough to move him I think and that would make PG the odd man out.
同意，甜瓜仍然擁有交易否決權，我不相信他明年會跳出合同。另外我覺得要交易他也非常困難，這就讓泡椒看起來像個局外人瞭。

If all three desire to leave, the Thunder dip way below the salary floor. That facilitates 'opt in and trade' scenarios that help the Thunder.
要是三巨頭都想走，雷霆的工資將大幅下降。這讓雷管更容易進行先簽後換的操作，對雷霆（的重建）也是很有幫助的。
Example: Melo opts in next summer and accepts trade to Houston for the final two years of Ryan Anderson's deal, plus a protected Houston first rounder.
PG13 and Russ also have option years, but it's more realistic that they just sign in LA outright.
例如：安東尼明夏執行球員選項，同意被交易去火箭換來萊恩 - 安德森剩下的兩年合同，外加火箭一個受保護首輪簽。
喬治和威少也都是選項年，但是更現實的情況是他們倆直接簽湖人。
I think the most likely scenario is this is a one year ride for OKC and the older stars start combining in LA and Texas next summer. Wade, Lebron, CP3, Westbrook, PG13, Melo, Harden might all be on just 2 teams when next season starts.
我認為這是最有可能的情況：雷霆像賭博一樣拼這一個賽季，到明年夏天，上瞭年紀的球星都將去洛杉磯和德州組團——韋德、勒佈朗、保羅、威少、喬治、安東尼、哈登這些球星在明年可能會集中在兩支球隊。
[ – ] 12footjumpshot 105 指標 19 小時前
I love this narrative where OKC are incapable of retaining these stars. The OKC organization is outstanding, and yes OKC isn't LA as a city, but if winning is the priority why wouldn't WB, PG and Melo want to stick around even for one more season?
瞅你說的，雷霆就是沒能力留下三個球星嗎？雷霆是一支優秀的團隊，當然，俄克拉荷馬城比不上洛杉磯這樣的大都市，但如果威少、喬治和安東尼都把贏球當作第一要義，他們何不留下來再打一年？
[ – ] Thunderthetrain23 197 指標 19 小時前
casual reminder that PG's favorite hobby is bass fishing, which might be the one thing Oklahoma can beat LA in
我偶然想到，喬治最大的愛好就是釣魚，在這一點上，俄克拉荷馬可以完勝洛杉磯。
