The biggest domino that could fall has now fallen in the NBA 2023 trade market. A couple of days after the Brooklyn Nets traded away Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks and declined a deal that would have sent Irving to the Phoenix Suns, Nets general manager Sean Marks has decided to make a blockbuster deal with Suns general manager James Jones after all. Our Shams Charania is reporting that the Nets will send Kevin Durant to the Suns in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, Cam Johnson, and four first-round picks.
可能最大的多米诺骨牌现在已经倒在了NBA 2023交易市场上。在布鲁克林网队将凯里欧文交易至达拉斯独行侠并拒绝将欧文送到菲尼克斯太阳队的交易几天后，网队总经理肖恩马克斯决定与太阳队总经理詹姆斯琼斯达成一项重磅交易. 我们的 Shams Charania 报道称，网队将把凯文杜兰特送到太阳队，以换取米卡尔布里奇斯、杰伊克劳德、卡姆约翰逊和四个首轮选秀权。
ESPN reported TJ Warren is also headed back to Phoenix and the additional draft compensation is a 2028 pick swap.
This is about as huge as we could have expected for news prior to the deadline. The Suns are taking the biggest swing here by sending so much draft capital and quality youthful talent to Brooklyn, but they’re getting Durant in return. This is the big splash new team governor Mat Ishbia was hoping to make in turning this franchise into something unquestionably elite.
ESPN 报道称，TJ 沃伦也将回到菲尼克斯，额外的选秀补偿是 2028 年的选秀权互换。
这与我们在截止日期前的预期一样。太阳队在这里发挥了最大的作用，他们向布鲁克林输送了如此多的选秀权和优秀的年轻天才，但他们得到了杜兰特。这是新任球队老板马特·伊什比亚 (Mat Ishbia) 希望将这支球队变成无可置疑的争冠球队的巨大轰动。
太阳队获得凯文杜兰特和 TJ 沃伦
This is 10 times as massive as the Suns trading for Chris Paul a couple of years ago. Durant still plays MVP-level basketball when he’s healthy. Yes, he’s 34, but he doesn’t look like he’s 34 when he plays. He just looks like a walking, historic bucket that nobody can realistically stop from scoring when he wants to.
这是几年前太阳队交易克里斯保罗的10 倍。杜兰特在健康的时候仍然打出 MVP 级别的篮球。是的，他已经 34 岁了，但他打球时看起来不像是 34 岁。他看起来就像一个行走着的历史级别的得分机器，当他想得分时，没有人能真正阻止他得分。
Opponents just need to hope he’s off or the rest of the team can’t support him enough in a given basketball game. His health is a concern. In two consecutive years, someone has fallen into his knee and caused him to miss significant time: 151 games and counting in the last three-and-a-half seasons. But when he’s healthy and on the court, he’s still a monster.
对手只能希望他下场，否则球队的其他人根本不能限制他一整场。他的健康令人担忧。连续两年，有人摔倒在他的膝盖上，导致他错过了许多许多比赛（151 场比赛）并且在过去的三个半赛季中还在增加。但当他健康上场时，他仍然是一个怪物。
The combination of Durant and Devin Booker is going to be a home run. Booker was also playing MVP ballot-level basketball prior to his injury, and he’s just now getting back to form and looking good. Booker has done a brilliant job in this Suns era with Paul to defer when he needs to, take over when required, play really good defense, and fit in however his team needs. He’s become a complete basketball player when the stakes and expectations got raised significantly. Now imagine what he is able to do with Durant causing sheer panic for the opponent.
杜兰特和德文布克的组合将是一套组合拳。布克在受伤之前也打出过 MVP 级别的篮球，他现在正在恢复状态并且看起来不错。布克在这几年与保罗一起打出乐出色的表现，在需要他的时候接管比赛，打出非常好的防守，并适应球队的需要。当人们对他的期望得到显著提高时，他已经成为一名精英级别的篮球运动员。现在想象一下他和杜兰特能做些什么，让对手感到恐慌。
There’s a concern about CP3’s status and just how effective he can be. He had a rough start to this season, and while he’s been better lately, it’s been worrisome enough that the Suns were willing to move him for Kyrie Irving this week. He just has to set the table, play some defense and knock down open shots when opponents double. That seems doable for him, even if he’s feeling a bit slower than he used to. The rotation for the Suns gets very small, and they’ll need guys like Landry Shamet, Torrey Craig, Damion Lee, and TJ Warren to step up consistently in the rotation.
人们担心 CP3 的状态以及他的效率。他本赛季的开局并不顺利，虽然他最近有所好转，但太阳队本周愿意用他换来凯里欧文已经够令人担忧的了。他只需要摆好态度，进行一些防守，并在对手包夹时传给空位的队友。这对他来说似乎是可行的，即使感觉他比以前慢了一点。太阳队的轮换阵容非常小，他们需要像兰代尔、克雷格、达米安李和TJ沃伦这样的球员在轮换阵容中不断加强。
We can nitpick this to death with details like this, but the Suns just acquired Kevin f—— Durant!
The only thing keeping this from being an A+ is Durant’s recent health issues, and the depletion of the Suns’ rotation in having to make this trade. CP3 will hopefully look less washed than he has for most of this season, and the star power of KD-Booker-Paul combined with Deandre Ayton being heavily involved will overcome a lack of depth. What an incredible, franchise-altering move by James Jones and the Suns.
我们可以用这样的细节吹毛求疵，但太阳队刚刚得到了凯文 —他妈的—杜兰特！
唯一阻止它成为 A+ 的是杜兰特最近的健康问题，以及太阳队进行这笔交易不得不减弱自己的轮换阵容。CP3 有望看起来不像本赛季大部分时间那样差，而杜兰特-布克-保罗 的明星能力加上艾顿的大量参与将克服缺乏阵容深度的问题。詹姆斯·琼斯和太阳队做出了多么令人难以置信的改变。
网队获得米卡尔布里奇斯、卡姆约翰逊、杰伊克劳德、四个首轮选秀权和2028选秀互换
太阳：A-
My goodness, let’s everybody just try to catch our breath for a second. What an incredible turn of events here. This time last week, the Nets were looking pretty good despite all the injuries. Top-four in the East, and just hoping Durant would get back soon to help them compete for a title. Then Kyrie dropped the trade request on Friday. Then he was moved on Sunday when the Nets rejected a trade package that would have sent Chris Paul and Jae Crowder and draft compensation to Brooklyn for Irving.
我的天哪，让我们每个人都试着喘口气。事情发生了多么不可思议的转变。上周的这个时候，尽管伤病缠身，网队看起来还是不错的。东部前四，只希望杜兰特早日复出，帮助他们争夺总冠军。然后凯里在周五放弃了交易请求。然后他在周日被欧文的交易打动，当时网队拒绝了一项交易方案，该方案本可以将克里斯保罗和杰伊克劳德以及欧文的选秀补偿送到布鲁克林。
Now? The Nets decide to move on from the failed Kyrie-KD era and recuperate some of the draft capital they lost in acquiring James Harden in a deal that feels like it happened 100 years ago.
It was two years ago.
The Nets are bringing in four unprotected picks from the Suns in 2023, 2025, 2027, and 2029. They get the pick swap option in 2028. And that’s about all you can hope for in a trade when it comes to draft compensation under the current rules. The crazy thing is that’s the amount of draft capital that went to Utah for Rudy Gobert.
现在？网队决定从失败的 欧文-杜兰特 的时代纠正过来，并恢复他们在收购哈登时失去的一些选秀权，这笔交易感觉就像发生在 100 年前。
但那是两年前的事了。
篮网队在 2023 年、2025 年、2027 年和 2029 年从太阳队引进了四个不受保护的选秀权。他们在 2028 年获得了选秀权互换权。这就是在当前的选秀补偿方案下你在交易中所能期待的一切。疯狂的是，这和犹他爵士换戈贝尔得到的一样多。
Bridges is a really nice, young player. One of the better two-way role players in the NBA, and he can really lock down defensively. Johnson is one of the best shooters in the NBA, and someone the Suns believed in so much they were willing to alienate Crowder for. Crowder is a good 3-and-D wing who can guard multiple positions. Maybe the Nets try to flip him before the deadline is up, or maybe they just use him to help compete since they don’t own any of their own draft future.
布里奇斯是一个非常好的年轻球员。NBA 最好的3D球员之一，他真的可以锁定对手的尖刀人物。约翰逊是 NBA 最好的射手之一，太阳队非常信任他，他们愿意为他疏远克劳德。克劳德是也是一名出色的 3D 侧翼球员，可以防守多个位置。也许网队会在截止日期前将他裁掉，或者他们会利用他来帮助提升竞争力��再他们没有自己的选秀未来两年。
Sean Marks has had to rebuild a franchise before when it didn’t have much of its own draft future in its control, following taking over post-Billy King-Danny Ainge trade debacle. If he’s given the opportunity to reshape this one, he has the pick from Dallas in the Kyrie trade, and all this draft capital to use. Considering what he’s traded away, getting this pick compensation back is solid. But so much has to happen before the Nets can feel good about this future built on Suns picks.
By the way, the Rockets have to love this deal because those Nets picks look a lot better for Houston’s future.
肖恩·马克斯在接管比利·金-丹尼·安吉交易失败后的球队后，不得不重建一支球队，当时球队自己的未来选秀权并不多。如果他有机会重塑这支球队，他将在欧文交易中获得达拉斯的选秀权，包括所有的选秀资产。考虑到他被交易掉的东西，拿回这个选秀权补偿是合理的。但是在网队对获得太阳选秀权上的未来感到满意之前，还有很多事情要做。
顺便说一句，火箭队会非常喜欢这笔交易，因为网队交易掉欧文和杜兰特后，竞争力下降，从他们那里获得的选秀权会变得更值钱。
