Chicago Tribune Bryant sounding Bull-ish? Lakers superstar reportedly repeats demand for trade By K.C. Johnson Tribune staff reporter Published June 16, 2007, 10:06 PM CDT [以下略翻] The Bulls put Mike Conley Jr. through a draft workout Saturday at the Berto Center, but the Ohio State point guard's real challenge was trying to keep Kobe Bryant out of the headlines. 周六公牛对 Mike Conley 进行了测试，但新闻焦点却在 Kobe Bryant。 As often happens with the dynamic Lakers star, Bryant prevailed. The Los Angeles Times and Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise, citing sources, reported that in a meeting with Lakers owner Jerry Buss on Friday in Barcelona, Spain, Bryant had reiterated the trade demand he first made three weeks ago. The Press-Enterprise, again citing sources, said Bryant, the only NBA player with a no-trade clause, has a three-team wish list that includes the Bulls and Knicks. 根据洛杉矶时报等媒体报导，Kobe 周五向人在西班牙的老板 Jerry Buss 重提了被交易 的意愿。而在 Kobe 属意的球团名单里，包括了公牛和尼克。 For now, the Bulls are working under the assumption the Lakers have no desire to deal their nine-time All-Star guard. That stance is supported by a statement Buss released two weeks ago. Should Lakers management change its mind and pursue trade options, the Bulls, like any NBA team, would have interest. 目前公牛的补强工作仍是假设湖人不交易 Kobe，虽说也对 Kobe 有兴趣。 But depleting the roster of multiple assets like Luol Deng and Ben Gordon to match Bryant's $19.5 million salary likely would give general manager John Paxson pause. 不过交易要消耗的球员名单，可能让 Paxson 却步。 The Bulls first impressed Bryant when Paxson and club Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf met him and agent Rob Pelinka in Newport Beach, Calif., on July 6, 2004, the summer of Bryant's free agency. Their pitch included the Bulls' philosophy of accountability under Paxson and coach Scott Skiles, the chance to follow in Michael Jordan's footsteps, a growing talent base and the city of Chicago. 2004 年夏天成为自由球员时，Kobe 首次考虑公牛。 Bryant, who would have had to force a sign-and-trade deal from the Lakers, also was said to be impressed that Bulls officials kept the visit quiet for eight days. Ultimately, Bryant re-signed with the Lakers for seven years and $136.4 million, of which four years and $88.6 million remain. Bryant also can opt out of his deal after the 2008-09 season, making any deal for the two-time scoring champion a risk. 最终 Kobe 和湖人签了七年约，目前还剩四年，08-09 球季後可选择终止。 As for Conley Jr., some might say working out for the Bulls is superfluous, given that virtually every mock draft has the crafty point guard gone by the ninth pick. Olympic gold medalist Mike Conley Sr., who is advising his son, eloquently addressed the Bulls' decision to do so. "I'm biased because I grew up in Chicago and I would love nothing more than to have my son play here," said Conley Sr., a Luther South graduate. "It's a great organization and a team that's on the cusp of doing special things. "It would be a great situation for Mike. It may be an outside shot, but it's a shot worth taking." Adding the 6-foot-1-inch Conley Jr. to an already smallish backcourt would seem a long shot for the Bulls, even if the Ohio State freshman is the top-rated point guard. But Paxson and his staff have worked out the top three point guards, doing due diligence in case trade opportunities arise with current or prospective assets on draft night June 28. "The Bulls' style is up-and-down, really guard-oriented and unselfish," Conley Jr. said. "I like that about their team and personnel. I feel I'm the same type of player." Acquiring a low-post scorer remains the Bulls' biggest wish. Other than, you know, acquiring Bryant for a song. Conley 的父亲非常支持儿子在公牛打球，而 Conley 本人也觉得自己很适合公牛。 --
