Johnson Chicago Tribune JUNE 19, 2017, 8:43 PM Like sharks smelling blood, teams are circling the Bulls, ready to feast on the leaguewide perception that Jimmy Butler is available for the right price. 就像鯊魚嗅到血腥味，多支球隊圍繞在公牛旁，準備參加有好報價就能獲得Jimmy Butler 的盛宴。 In that sense, nothing has changed for the Bulls. But in another, much has from last June, when the Bulls couldn't reach organizational consensus on whether to opt for a full rebuild and trade Butler for the right price. 對公牛來講想法沒什麼改變。 但從去年六月以來，是否選擇重建且交易 JB換取好資產這件事上，公牛組織內是沒有共識的。 In a dizzying span of eight minutes Monday afternoon, three separate rumors centered on Butler emerged. The biggest, from an ESPN.com report that the Tribune confirmed, was that the Cavaliers had worked to find a third team with attractive enough assets to offer the Bulls and consummate a deal that would land Butler alongside LeBron James in Cleveland. 星期一下午令人眼花的八分鐘裡，三個不同的謠言釋放出來。 最大的一個來自ESPN.com，論壇報已證實的報導，騎士欲找來有足夠資產可以吸引公牛的 第三支球隊去達成使JB和LBJ在克里夫蘭一起打球的交易。 According to two league sources, one team the Cavs approached to try to engage in these discussions was the Suns, who own the fourth pick in Thursday's draft. 根據兩個來自聯盟的消息，禮拜四選秀會上握有4號簽的太陽是騎士嘗試去接洽的球隊。 The Butler situation commanded enough attention for the Bulls to hold an internal meeting on his future, sources said. And unlike last June, the organization appears aligned on its Butler stance — that it would move the three-time All-Star but only if its rightfully high asking price is met. Management has made clear at multiple junctures that it's not looking to move Butler but must listen to all offers for him out of due diligence. Such is the nature of being stuck in the NBA middle with few assets. 管理層多次表達不希望交易JB，但基於職責必須聽取所有對他的報價。 Last June, that asking price centered on at least three assets — and four in some exchanged proposals with the Celtics. Butler's stature only has improved since then as he made the All-NBA third team, his first such distinction, after a career year. 去年六月，與Celtics的數個交易提案中，報價至少3個到4個資產。 不過在Butler生涯第一次入選NBA第三隊陣容後聲望已經提高。 The Vertical reported that the Timberwolves, whose president happens to be former Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, made preliminary contact regarding a Butler deal. The Tribune couldn't independently confirm that, with one source insisting the Timberwolves would wait until closer to the draft to do so. The Vertical報導，現為灰狼營運總裁的前公牛教練Thibodeau，已經在交易JB有初步接 洽。一個論壇報未證實的消息指出，灰狼將等到接近選秀才會有所動作。 Regardless, it's clear the Butler rumors aren't going away this week, even if, to this point, they haven't included the Celtics. Adding intrigue to the situation is the news that broke late Monday that the Cavaliers and general manager David Griffin are parting ways after three straight trips to the NBA Finals. That's the same Griffin who spent Monday working the phones on a potential Butler trade. 儘管謠言還不包含賽爾提克，無論如何這周JB的謠言不會少。 星期一晚間，連三次打進NBA Final的騎士和GM Griffin分道揚鑣的新聞使情況變得複雜 。這位Griffin在星期一運作JB交易的機會。 Also out is Trent Redden, Griffin's senior vice president of basketball operations. The Vertical reported that former All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups is Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's top choice to take over as president of basketball operations. 且Griffin籃球營運部的副總裁Trent Redden也離開了。The Vertical報導前NBA控衛 Chauncey Billups是騎士老闆Dan Gilbert籃球營運部總裁的首要人選。 The news seemingly is a major impediment to the Cavs' bid to land Butler, which one source described as "a long shot" anyway. In one scenario, the source said, the Cavs were trying to entice the Suns to take on Kevin Love and send assets to the Bulls. 這新聞看起來對騎士交易JB是一個主要的阻礙，儘管這交易成功機會不大。 消息指出， 騎士嘗試說服太陽接收Kevin Love且送出資產去芝加哥。 If the Bulls did move into the top five of the draft via a Butler trade or some other unknown scenario, one source said they've done recent work on Kentucky point guard De'Aaron Fox. 假設公牛從JB交易或其他不知道的劇本中，得到前五順位選秀權，消息說目標將是 Kentucky後衛De'Aaron Fox。 [email protected] Twitter @kcjhoop Copyright c 2017, Chicago Tribune 翻錯麻煩說一下 --
