http://www.tsn.ca/sullinger-a-good-fallback-option-for-hard-luck-raptors-1.525654 TSN在签下Sullinger的文章中 谈到了很多我们今夏尝试过的操作 以下节录部分 随便翻翻 First, Pau Gasol was very nearly a Raptor.They were in extensive talks with the Spanish big man and six-time all-star until the 11th hour. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan had helped recruit him and Toronto had a trade lined up to unload the salary required to sign the unrestricted free agent. It would have cost them Terrence Ross — a player the Raptors are still high on — and probably one of their young players. Once it became clear that Tim Duncan was going to retire, Gasol chose the San Antonio Spurs, citing their talent and rich history, among other factors. He personally called the Raptors to break the news and thank them for their efforts. Pau Gasol曾经接近与暴龙签约. 暴龙在自由市场刚开始与他有非常频繁的对话. Lowry和DeRozan在当时加入游说团, 暴龙也准备交易掉Ross跟其中一个年轻球员以清出薪资空间. 直到Tim Duncon退休的消息传出, Gasol选择跟马刺签约. 在这之後Gasol打电话谢谢暴龙队为他所做的努力. With Gasol off the market, the Raptors turned their attention to Chicago's Taj Gibson, a long-time player of interest. They believed they had a deal in place that would have sent Gibson and swingman Tony Snell to Toronto. Then, as Miami's relationship with Dwyane Wade continued to deteriorate and the Bulls emerged as candidates to sign the future hall of famer, things fell through. Suddenly, what Chicago needed most — cap relief — the Raptors were not able to offer. 在Gasol在市场上消失後. 我们的的兴趣转向了Taj Gibson. 当时管理层确信他们有机会从公牛得到Gibson和Tony Snell的. 然而, 在Wade与热火队破局选择加入公牛後. 减少薪资空间变成了公牛的当务之急 - 而这是暴龙无法提供的. They kicked around the idea of a Ross-for-Nerlens Noel swap leading up to the draft, but were never enamoured with the Sixers centre. They made a run at Serge Ibaka before he was moved to Orlando, but Oklahoma City's asking price (Cory Joseph, Patrick Patterson, Norman Powell and the ninth-overall pick) was more than they were willing to pay for a player going into the final year of his contract. They called Atlanta about Paul Millsap, after inquiring about him at the trade deadline last February, but the Hawks opted to hang onto their all-star power forward after Al Horford spurned them for Boston. 暴龙也尝试过了Ross-Noel的交易, 不过七六人管理层不感兴趣. 在这之前, 我们曾经尝试得到Ibaka 然而雷霆的索价(Cory Joseph, Patrick Patterson, Norman Powell + 9号签)过高使得对话破局(超抢...). 我们也询问过Paul Milsap, 但在失去了Al Horford後, 老鹰倾向留下这位明星大前锋. -- 感觉都是不错的计画 可惜没有一个达成...orz --
