https://goo.gl/UQjW3J At the start of free agency, the Pistons had their plan together. They were looking to keep restricted free agent Kentavious Caldwell-Pope despite the projected cost. They were looking to bolster their backcourt with shooters, such as Langston Galloway, whom they signed. 当自由球员市场开市後，活塞队已准备好计画，它们打算不计代价将RFA的KCP留下来。 同时他们将签下一名射手提升後场阵容，例如Langston Galloway。 The situation with Caldwell-Pope had been marinating for a year: debating whether he was a max player, worth upwards of $25 million per season. The Pistons didn’t seem to have another plan. 活塞与KCP之间的状况已酝酿一年之久，争论着KCP是否值得顶薪(一年25M)，活塞似乎没有 其他的计画。 One came to them: Avery Bradley from the Boston Celtics. 然後有位球员进入了他们的计画中，来自超赛的Avery Bradley。 It came at a high price, giving up Marcus Morris, who had become one of the Pistons’ most vocal leaders and was starting to take the mantle as one of the core members of the future that team president Stan Van Gundy wanted to build around. 引进AB付出了高额的代价，他们放弃了Marcus Morris，他是活塞队的发声领袖之一，同时 也在SVG的体系里扮演重要核心角色。 Then came the opportunity to get Bradley. 然後得到AB的机会降临活塞。 “We were just lucky to have him be available and that sort of changed our plans,” Van Gundy said Monday. 我们很幸运有机会拥有他，且这个机会改变了我们的计画 “Our plan was basically to get Langston as protection and then we were in the KCP thing — that’s where we were headed — and then Avery Bradley became available and it was just too good to pass up for us.” 我们的计画基本上是签下Langston这个保险，然後处理KCP的问题，这就是我们正在进行 的事，然後AB在可交易名单上，他好到我们不能错过。 Van Gundy accentuated Bradley’s resume: a first-team all-defense selection in 2016 and better 3-point shooting than Caldwell-Pope brought. They had made a substantial offer — reportedly 5 years, $80 million — at the start of free agency, but Caldwell-Pope and his agent, Rich Paul, were looking to gauge the market, seeking an offer near the maximum. SCG很看重AB的纪录，最佳防守阵容第一队，且比KCP更好的三分球命中率，他们在自由市 场开市後给了给了KCP一个高额的报价，80M/5ys，但KCP跟他的经纪人富保罗正在市场上试 水温，并寻找接近顶薪的合同。 To match a potential max offer, the Pistons would have had to go above the luxury-tax level of $119 million and then would have needed to shed about $10 million in salary. 为了开出顶薪，活塞队必须超过豪华税上限，也需要空出10M的空间。 That would have meant trading a front-line player. In the initial plan, that was where the Pistons were headed, with owner Tom Gores’ blessing. 这代表他们需要交易前场球员，这是Tom Gores允许下的最初计画。 It wasn’t a case of Caldwell-Pope not being a max player or the Pistons looking in another direction — they were all-in on staying the course. 这并不表示KCP有打算不成为顶薪球员，也并不表示活塞一开始有再找替代方案 他们都为了签下KCP而讨论当中。 “(Not having KCP) wasn’t even something that we had talked about, to be quite honest. What happened was the deal with Boston with Avery Bradley there, ” Van Gundy said. “What we had to weigh there is Avery comes in and he’s only got one year on his contract, against where KCP’s contract could potentially go. 老实说，放走KCP甚至从来没出现在讨论当中，然後超赛与AB的交易出现了，SVG说，我们必须考 虑的是AB加入我们然後只能租一年，这个情况压缩了KCP合约的谈判空间。 “If you sign him, you’re well into the tax and now have significantly less flexibility going forward. 如果签下KCP，我们就要缴税，然後薪资空间会变得非常没有弹性 “It was never a point where it was a matter of what KCP was worth. It was not us saying he’s not worth that. ... It was not a strategy at the beginning of the summer that we don’t want to pay KCP.” 这跟KCP值多少无关，我们不会说KCP不值得那些钱，我们不想签KCP不是我们今夏原本的 计画 Van Gundy and general manager Jeff Bower had been discussing another deal involving other players with Boston, but when Bradley became available, the tenor of the talks changed. Both sides re-evaluated and reached an agreement on Friday. SVG和GM Jeff Bower已经讨论关於超赛其他球员的交易，但当AB出现在可交易名单上 讨论方向彻底改变，双方都重新评估且得到共识。 “It actually didn’t happen that quickly. We had had discussions of a different variety, a different nature over a couple weeks, but the momentum of it when it seemed like it was about to be a deal that both sides were ready to agree on happened very quickly overnight,” Bower said. “The seeds for it had been planted a couple weeks earlier but the conditions weren’t right until that very moment.” 实际上这个讨论花了一点时间，我们几个礼拜内很讨论很多不同的可能性，但得到共识的 那个可能性却只花费很短的时间讨论 Opportunity knocks in Pistons adding Galloway, Moreland After getting Bradley, the Pistons renounced their rights to Caldwell-Pope, 24, who became an unrestricted free agent. Instead of getting an anticipated max deal, he’s still awaiting an offer, with reported interest from the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets — but likely not at the max level. 交易来AB後，活塞放弃KCP的匹配权力，使KCP成为UFA，KCP仍在等待着报价而不是顶薪合 同，湖人与篮网皆对KCP有兴趣，但不大可能开顶薪。 The Pistons managed to steer clear of the luxury tax and get a player that helps them on both ends of the court, even if it is a one-year rental. Although Bradley’s stats have improved in each of his seven seasons, he’s looking to bring more than just scoring and defense. 活塞避开了豪华税且引进一位可帮助後场攻守两端的球员，即使只能租用一年。 虽然Bradley的数据在七年的职涯内都有所提升，他将带着得分与防守以外的事物加入活塞 Van Gundy was looking to diversify the backcourt and thinks he did so with one of the best all-around guards in the league. Whether that production levels off in a new system of if he doesn’t have the same cast around him as in Boston, Van Gundy is focusing on the upside. SVG打算多样化後场，且他认为他引进AB做到了此事，不论是否AB在超赛体系做到的事能不 能在活塞体系重现，SVG专注在更前卫的事务上。 “He’s in a really high level right now, so if he levels off as a first-team All-NBA defensive guy and shoots 38 percent from 3 and averages 16 points, I think we’ll take the plateau, if that’s where it is,” Van Gundy said. “I don’t think he is a guy that’s going to plateau because he’s an extremely hard worker and clearly has added to his game every year. 他已经在很高的境界上了，所以如果他的数据下跌，我们会接受这个就是他的天花板， 我不认为他已经到天花板了，因为他是这麽的努力训练且每年都在提升他的比赛表现 “Right now, he’s a very, very good player.” 现在，他是非常非常棒的球员。 --
