The Lakers are lining up for a Giannis chase, but the real plan must be bigger https://reurl.cc/aMOkMZ 根据湖人TA记者Dan Woike LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers all but made it official this week: They plan to chase Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer. 洛杉矶湖人本周几乎等同於正式表态：他们计画在今年夏天追逐Giannis Antetokounmpo 。 They shouldn’t — and won’t —allow it to be the plan. It’s the only way th e stressors they’ve willingly introduced this season will be worth it. 他们不该——也不会——让这件事成为唯一计画。这是他们本季主动承担各种压力後，唯 一能让一切变得值得的方式。 As the Lakers trudged through the middle of their schedule, coach JJ Redick lo oked for reasons why his team’s feet seemed stuck in the mud. A three-game, f our-night East Coast stretch (one where his star player jetted to Slovenia for the birth of a child) zapped a ton of energy from the players and the staff. An injury to Austin Reaves shortly thereafter furthered their descent into wha tever-dom. 当湖人赛季进入中段、步履蹒跚时，总教练JJ Redick 试着找出为什麽球队看起来像陷在 泥沼里。一次「四天三战」的东岸客场之旅（期间球队王牌还飞去斯洛维尼亚迎接孩子出 生）抽乾了球员与教练团大量能量。随後 Austin Reaves的受伤，更让球队一路下滑，陷 入某种低迷状态 The Lakers entered this zone more so now than any other point this season, whe re they’d either beat a bad team or get the doors blown off them by an equal or superior. 湖人本季从未像现在这样，呈现出一种极端状态：要嘛击败弱队，要嘛被实力相当或更强 的球队痛宰。 It was ugly. And on Jan. 22, after the LA Clippers blew out the Lakers for the second time in a month, Redick pointed to one culprit. 场面相当难看。1月22日，洛杉矶快艇在一个月内第二度大胜湖人後，Redick指出了问题 核心。 The present becomes inherently destabilized when the priority is so clearly to morrow, and the Lakers, while not completely in a gap year, have their eyes on the future. They’re in position to chase a star. 当「明天」被摆在过於明显的优先顺序时，「现在」自然会变得不稳定。湖人虽然不完全 是在过渡年，但他们的目光明显放在未来——他们正处於能追逐一名巨星的位置 “It just goes back to the human element of everything,” Redick said. “And g uys are worried about their futures. And that’s what happens when you have a team full of free agents and player options.” 「这一切都回到人性层面，」Redick 说。「球员会担心自己的未来。当你拥有一支充满 自由球员与球员选项的球队时，就会发生这种情况。」 Only five of the 14 full-time players on the roster that night had contracts s et in stone for next year. LeBron James is an unrestricted free agent. Austin Reaves has a player option he’s certain to decline. DeAndre Ayton and Marcus Smart have player options. Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes will be free agents. The Lakers’ plans from that list include Reaves and, of course, Luka Doncic. However, beyond that, no one else can be sure. 当晚14名轮换球员中，只有5人的合约已确定涵盖下季。LeBron James是完全自由球员；A ustin Reaves拥有球员选项，且几乎确定会跳出；DeAnd re Ayton与 Marcus Smart也有球员选项；Rui Hachimura与Jaxson Hayes将成为自由球员 。 在这份名单中，湖人的计画核心包括Reaves，以及当然还有 Luka Doncic。但除此之外， 没有人能对自己的未来有把握。 And that puts them in a bit of a strange spot. 这让湖人处在一个相当尴尬的位置。 The NBA trade deadline came and went without the Lakers being pushed off their chosen path. If maintaining cap space in summer 2026 wasn’t the top priority , it was the pressure point Rob Pelinka, new majority owner Mark Walter, gover nor Jeanie Buss and consultant Andrew Friedman pushed in every scenario or dec ision. NBA 交易截止日已过，湖人仍未偏离既定路线。就算「保留 2026 年夏天的薪资空间」不 是唯一优先事项，那也是Rob Pelinka、新大股东Mark Walter、球队负责人Jeanie Buss 以及顾问Andrew Friedman在所有情境与决策中反覆施压的关键点。 The Lakers landed on trading one future free agent, Gabe Vincent, for another in Luke Kennard, surrendering the only second-round pick they had to offer. Th ey were unable to offload any other players, including Dalton Knecht, who leag ue sources say the Lakers shopped aggressively. 湖人最终只完成一笔交易：用一名未来自由球员Gabe Vincent换来另一名未来自由球员 L uke Kennard，并付出手中仅有的一枚次轮选秀权。他们未能清掉其他任何球员，包括 Da lton Knecht——联盟消息指出，湖人曾积极兜售他。 Next will be evaluating a group of buyout candidates. Team and league sources say wing Haywood Highsmith is a player of interest, provided his knee issues a re resolved. Cam Thomas, his former Nets teammate, is another more polarizing option. 接下来，湖人将评估一批买断市场人选。球队与联盟消息人士表示，Haywood Highsmith （锋线）是感兴趣的对象，前提是他的膝盖问题获得解决；他前篮网队友Cam Thomas则是 另一个争议性较高的选项。 Neither would affect the Lakers’ 2026 plans. And those long-term plans have t o at least somewhat include an Antetokounmpo pursuit. The team will have three first-round picks available on draft night to make their best offer. 不论是哪一位，都不会影响湖人2026 年的长期规画。而这些长期计画，至少在某个层面 上，必须包含追逐 字母。球队在选秀夜将握有三枚首轮签，可用来提出最具诚意的报价 。 Rival scouts and executives don’t believe it’ll be enough, but the Lakers ca n and should try. Also, it cannot be the cornerstone of their offseason plans. And this all assumes that Antetokounmpo’s Wolf of Wall Street post on Thursd ay is temporary, not permanent. 对手球探与高层并不认为这会足够，但湖人可以、也应该尝试。不过，这件事不能成为休 赛季规画的基石。而这一切，也都假设字母周四发出的《华尔街之狼》贴文只是暂时的， 而非永久性的。 The summer presents an opportunity, armed with significant cap flexibility, to start building the necessary components of a modern front office and reap ear ly benefits. League sources say that includes significant hires to a wide rang e of front-office positions this summer, with the Lakers expected to model the ir front office after the World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers. 今年夏天，在握有可观薪资弹性的情况下，湖人有机会开始打造一个符合现代标准的管理 团队，并提前收获成果。联盟消息指出，这将包含在多个制服组职位进行重要招募，湖人 预计以夺下世界大赛冠军的洛杉矶道奇为蓝本，重塑制服组架构。 “It’s going to be scary,” one rival executive said when asked about the pot ential of the built-out front office the Lakers are expected to assemble. 「那会很可怕，」一名对手高层在谈到湖人可能打造完成的管理层团队时如此形容。 There seems to be a clearer-eyed approach to this summer, which is different f rom past star pursuits. The Lakers have more cap space than any other competit ive team, so they can be aggressive in acquiring players who fit their needs. The center position remains a priority, again. They could engage with restrict ed free agents like Denver’s Peyton Watson and Houston’s Tari Eason. And whi le restricted free agency comes with complications tied to offer sheets and pr ior teams’ rights to match, the Lakers could try to bypass those steps with d raft capital in sign-and-trades. 外界普遍认为，湖人对今年夏天的态度更为清醒，这与过往追逐巨星的方式不同。湖人拥 有比任何具竞争力球队都更多的薪资空间，因此可以积极补进符合需求的球员。中锋位置 仍然是重点。他们也可能接触受限自由球员，如金块的Peyton Watson、火箭的Tari Easo n。即便受限自由市场牵涉报价单与母队匹配权的复杂性，湖人仍可透过先签後换搭配选 秀权来绕过部分流程。 Team sources have maintained that the Lakers won’t pursue a single pathway. T hat’s the luxury of their position; they can and should pursue Antetokounmpo. They can and should explore high-level role players whom they can trade draft picks for and absorb into space. They can and should look into aggressive way s to pry loose one of the top restricted free agents. 球队消息人士一再强调，湖人不会只押单一路线。这正是他们的优势所在： 他们可以、也应该追逐字母； 可以、也应该用选秀权换进高阶功能型球员并吸收进薪资空间； 可以、也应该尝试更激进的方式，撬动顶级受限自由球员； And they can and should build the kind of front office that can position the t eam in advantageous situations, whether for top-name stars, expensive free age nts, minimum contracts or second-round picks. 同时，也可以、也应该打造一个能在任何情境下占据优势的位置——不论是追逐顶级巨星 、高价自由球员、底薪拼图，或次轮签。 Of all the moves the Lakers can make this summer, this is the one that’ll mat ter most. 在湖人今年夏天所有可能的操作中，这一点，将是最重要的关键。 短评或心得： 湖人的夏天大计！ --
