https://tinyurl.com/2x3ved73 After a brief time away, Mike Conley is coming back to the Timberwolves. 在短暫離開後，Mike Conley 確定重返灰狼隊陣中。 The team re-signed Conley to a minimum salary contract for the rest of the season after the Charlotte Hornets recently bought Conley out of the remainder of his deal. 在黃蜂隊近期買斷了 Conley 剩餘的合約後，球隊已與他簽下一份至本賽季 結束的底薪合約。 Normally, the Wolves wouldn’t be eligible to re-sign a player they traded, but Conley’s situation was different. On Feb. 3, the Wolves traded Conley to the Bulls in a three-team deal with Detroit. After that trade became official, the Bulls traded Conley to the Hornets, who then bought out Conley. 正常情況下，灰狼隊並沒有資格重新簽下他們交易出去的球員，但 Conley 的情況有所不同。2 月 3 日，灰狼隊在一樁涉及活塞隊的三方交易中，將 Conley 送往公牛隊。在該交易正式生效後，公牛隊又將 Conley 交易至黃蜂 隊，隨後黃蜂隊買斷了 Conley。 Because Conley was traded twice, that made him eligible to re-sign with the Wolves, who will do so on a pro-rated minimum contract for the rest of the season. 由於 Conley 被交易了兩次，這使他具備了與灰狼隊重新簽約的資格；球隊 將以按比例計算的最低薪資合約簽回他，直到賽季結束。 That initial trade allowed the Wolves to save about $20 million in luxury tax and duck under the first apron. That made them available to take on more money than they sent out in a subsequent trade with the Bulls for Ayo Dosunmu, who has played in three games since coming to Minnesota. 最初的三方交易讓灰狼隊節省了約 2,000 萬美元的豪華稅，並成功降至 first apron 以下。這使他們在隨後交易獲得 Ayo Dosunmu 時，能夠承 接比送出金額更多的薪資，Dosunmu 已經在灰狼隊出賽了三場。 Dosunmu figures to be a key part of the rotation the rest of the season. 預計 Dosunmu 將成為本賽季剩餘球季輪替陣容的關鍵成員。 Conley, 38, remains one of the most respected and key figures in the Wolves locker room even if his season on the court hasn’t gone the way he or the Wolves wished. 現年 38 歲的 Conley 依然是灰狼隊休息室中最受尊敬且關鍵的人物之一， 即便本季在場上的表現並不如他本人或球隊所預期的那樣理想。 After moving to the bench this season, he has averaged a career-low 4.4 points while shooting just 32%. 本季轉換成替補角色後，場均4.4分生涯新低，投籃命中率僅為32%。 Conley’s return gives the Wolves another option off the bench if he can regain his old form for a postseason run. 如果 Conley 能在季後賽衝刺階段找回昔日身手，他的歸隊將為灰狼隊提供 另一個板凳支援。 If nothing else, his leadership and ability to communicate will be valued in a Wolves locker room that could use his kind evenhanded demeanor. 退一步來說，他的領導能力與溝通技巧，在目前灰狼隊休息室中，將具有極 高的價值。 The Wolves are now in compliance with NBA rules with 14 spots taken. They have room to sign one more player on the buyout market for the rest of the season, should they choose. 現階段球員名單已符合聯盟規定的 14 人。如果他們願意，目前仍有一個名 額可以從買斷市場找尋支援。 --- 幾個時間點： 2/3 三方交易發生，名單人數降至13人，最晚在兩週內(2/17)補至14人 2/7 老康正式被黃蜂隊買斷， 如果當時簽約金額：$857,804 ($2,296,274*65/174) 2/17 老康正式回歸，簽約金額：$725,834 ($2,296,274*55/174) 目前團隊薪資低於1st apron約789K，高於豪華稅門檻約5.5M，連續兩季繳稅。 好處一，以老闆角度，已經大幅把繳稅金額壓低。 好處二，擴大買斷市場操作空間，買斷前薪資高於中產(14.1M)也能簽約， 但前提是要被買斷。 如果沒等到適合目標，最後很有可能如傳聞將Juzang轉正式合約，畢竟他的 雙向擺在正式名單的50場額度已經用完。 --
