Celtics GM Danny Ainge Says Team Could Trade for All-Star During Offseason 新聞出處(必填):http://goo.gl/oEJFvd 作者:Zach Buckley http://goo.gl/J9yn7g The Celtics (25-57) need to upgrade their talent in a bad way. They're ready to shake every offseason tree in sight as part of that pursuit. Ainge painted a broad stroke of the franchise's summer plans during an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher and Rich show Wednesday morning. With so much work yet to be done to return the Celtics to relevance, there's a chance Boston's reclamation project is nothing more than a few vague ideas at this stage. One thing the executive made clear is that the Celtics aren't married to a particular avenue to find a game-changing talent. If the trade market looks more promising than the NBA draft, he'll use the former to help track down a notable name: Ainge on a dealing for an All-Star: "That's possible. We'll certainly look into that. So much depends upon where we end up in the draft." 安吉:我們的確在找一個全明星級的球員 交易也是有可能發生的 但是要先看看我們選秀會上撿到誰 Ainge, of course, didn't indicate who that trade target might be. The rumor mill hasn't found its offseason form yet, so it's unclear who even might be available. One option could be a sign-and-trade for a restricted free agent—Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz or Greg Monroe of the Detroit Pistons, perhaps—but it doesn't sound like Ainge has an identifiable target yet. Rather, he's just making his presence known to potential trade partners. If there's a name worth sacrificing some assets to get, he's ready to move: 他還沒有提到交易對象或目標 但是先簽後換宅爵的黑娃或是活塞的夢蘿都是可以操作的 Ainge on 'fireworks': "I'm looking to make something happen. But I have to make sure that we do a good deal, not just to make a splash." 安吉:我確實是在嚐試為球隊帶來一些改變 但不會急病亂投醫 The Celtics don't seem to have much trade fodder on their current roster. Unless they deem Rajon Rondo expendable, there just isn't much in the cupboard to pique outside interest. That conversation changes, though, if Ainge puts some of his draft picks up for sale. According to RealGM, the Celtics will be collecting draft debts for the next several years and own two first-round selections (theirs and the Brooklyn Nets') this year. The 2014 rookie crop is as deep as any in recent years, but Ainge has openly questioned its star power. 目前手上的籌碼並不多 除非把Rondo也拿上談判桌當籌碼 或是把手上的籤給賣了 (我們今年有兩隻首輪籤 自己的和籃網交易來的) 比起今年的選秀會上深度比往年要很好多 但是安吉認為裡面找不到雷霸龍或雷帝 "There aren't any game changers in the draft," he said during a live stream on Celtics.com (h/t Comcast SportsNet). "There are a lot of nice players and players that we'll be excited to work into the development, but they're not going to come in and turn our team around in one year or two years." 今年選秀會上確實有些好球員 他們的潛力也都很棒 但是沒有即戰力 都需要花兩年以上的時間養 The Celtics don't sound closed to the idea of building through the draft, but they aren't married to the picks either. The sooner they can get back to playing meaningful games, the better, but it's a process. "We're prepared for the long haul, but we'd love to accelerate it if we could," co-owner Wyc Grousbeck told USA Today's Sam Amick. The power is in Boston's hands. The Celtics don't have to make a move. A worst-case scenario involves bolstering the roster with more young talent and focusing energy on player development. That's rebuilding by the book. Should a worthwhile, quicker fix present itself, then Ainge can make his move. With a transcendent talent like Rondo already on board, the Celtics aren't too many correct guesses away from returning to relevance. 我們有Rondo在 早晚會變回超賽 Ainge won't force the issue. If win-now help is available, though, he's ready to pounce. --
