哪些是擺爛球隊在NBA交易截止日前卸除的球員？

DAN FAVALE 1  JANUARY 13, 2019

Primary Goal: Amass picks and prospects in exchange for taking on salary in 2019-20.
主要目標：以接手2019/20年薪資作為交換，收集選秀權和潛力新人。

Notable Trade Candidates: Justin Anderson, Kent Bazemore, Dewayne Dedmon, Jeremy Lin and Miles Plumlee.
值得關注的交易候選：賈斯丁安德森，肯特巴澤莫爾，德維恩戴德蒙，林書豪和邁爾斯普拉姆利。

The Hawks (12-29) hold a special place in the NBA’s tankathon. They’re actually open for business.
老鷹隊（12勝29負）在NBA的坦克賽中佔據一席之地。他們實際上已開門做生意。

Kent Bazemore, Dewayne Dedmon and Jeremy Lin are all drawing interest from the outside, according to the New York Times ‘ Marc Stein , in large part because Atlanta isn’t trying to accelerate—or obfuscate—its timetable. The same cannot be said for its peers.
根據紐約時報的馬克·斯坦（Marc Stein）推特，肯特巴澤莫爾，德維恩戴德蒙和林書豪都引起了外界的興趣，這在很大程度上是因為亞特蘭大並沒有試圖加速，或混淆，他們的[重建]時間表。但不能說其他同行也一樣。

Cleveland is the only other bottom-five squad that has shown a willingness to assume unwanted salary beyond this season. New York is in the market for cap space, Phoenix falls somewhere in between a buyer and a seller with Devin Booker’s max extension taking effect next season, and Chicago—well, it isn’t quite clear what the Bulls are going to do.
克利夫蘭是墊底五名中唯一表現出有願意在本賽季後承擔不必要薪水的球隊。紐約是薪資空間的市場，鳳凰城隨著下個賽季德文布克的頂薪延長合約生效，介於買家和賣家之間，而芝加哥-好吧，公牛隊將會做些什麼並不十分清楚。

The Cavaliers set a precedent by absorbing more than $15 million in 2019-20 salary for a first-round pick and two seconds, none of which will convey before 2020. The Hawks should be able to do a teensy bit better. Their expiring contracts are nicer properties, and Bazemore is a borderline asset despite next year’s $19.3 million player option because the league remains obsessed with competent wing-types.
騎士開創了一個先例，他們吸收了2019-20賽季超過1500萬美元的薪水，換來一個首輪和兩個次輪選秀權，這些都不會在2020年之前轉換。老鷹應該能夠做得稍微好一點。他們即將到期的合同是更好的財產，巴澤莫爾是一個邊緣資產，儘管明年有1,930萬美元的球員選項，因為聯盟仍然著迷於有能力的側翼類型。

Potential Deal (After Jan. 14)/可能交易（1月14日後）

• Atlanta Hawks Receive: Ian Mahinmi, Utah’s 2019 first-round pick (top-16 protection in 2019; lottery protection in 2020; top-12 protection in 2021; turns into two seconds if not conveyed)
  亞特蘭大老鷹隊獲得：伊安-馬辛米，猶他州2019年的首輪選秀權（2019年的受保障前16名; 2020年的樂透保障; 2021年的受保障前12名，如果沒有轉換則變成二個次輪選秀權）
• Utah Jazz Receive: Jeremy Lin, Otto Porter Jr., Tomas Satoransky
  猶他爵士隊獲得：林書豪，小奧圖波特，托馬斯薩托蘭斯基
• Washington Wizards Receive: Derrick Favors, Ricky Rubio and Thabo Sefolosha
  華盛頓奇才隊獲得：德瑞克費沃爾，瑞奇盧比奧和拓博瑟夫羅沙

Lin is expected to go for a first-round pick, according to Sporting News’ Sean Deveney . His playing time swings in Atlanta, but he has quietly thrown together a stellar season.
根據體育新聞的肖恩·德維尼的說法，預計林書豪將以首輪選秀權換取。他的上場時間在亞特蘭大是搖擺的，但他已經悄悄地打了一個傑出的賽季。

He’s canning more than 36 percent of his threes and posting the third-highest free-throw-attempt rate of his career. He remains one of the point guards who can orchestrate in the half court or play off another ball-handler.
他的三分球命中率超過36％，並且這是他職業生涯第三高的罰球出手。他仍然是控球後衛之一，他還是一個能夠在半場當指揮的控衛，也能跟另一位控球手搭檔。

Netting a first-rounder for him is still ambitious. This is the healthiest he has been since 2015-16, but he’s 30 and not under contract for next season. Atlanta probably isn’t getting anything more than an afterthought first or early second without swallowing a longer agreement.
通過他攬括一個首輪簽仍然是很大的雄心。這是他自2015-16賽季以來保持著的最健康的狀態，但他已經30歲了，而且下賽季沒有合同。如果沒有吞下更長的合約，亞特蘭大可能無法獲得比首輪末端或次輪前端更好的價碼。

Paying out the balance of Ian Mahinmi’s deal is a fair concession. He’s making about $2.1 million more than Lin this season and on the ledger for $15.5 million next year.
支付依安馬辛米的薪資餘額是公平的讓步。他本賽季比林賺多2.1百萬，而且明年賬本上還有15.4百萬。

Factor in where Utah’s pick will land and that it will convey well before 2021 (likely this season), and Atlanta is making out a tick better than Cleveland. Matthew Dellavedova and John Henson are more playable to the Cavaliers than Mahinmi is to the Hawks, but the location and arrival date of the selection matter.
考慮到猶他的選秀權將落在哪裡，能好好的在2021年之前（可能是本賽季）傳達，以及亞特蘭大比克利夫蘭打得更好一些。馬修德拉維多瓦和約翰漢森對騎士隊來說，比馬辛米對老鷹更有作用，但地點和到達日期的選擇很重要。

Bringing in Otto Porter Jr. compromises the Jazz’s cap-space projections for this summer. They’ll get over it. They aren’t landing a Kevin Durant or Kawhi Leonard—no matter how sweet the basketball fit would be—and can drum up second-tier room while paying Porter if they really try. (They’d have to ditch Raul Neto and Kyle Korver’s partial guarantee).
引進奧圖波特要爵士在今年夏天的預期工資帽做出妥協，他們會克服它。無論從籃球角度來說會契合得多麼甜美，他們都無法讓凱文杜蘭特或者科懷倫納德在此落腳，而且會在他們支付波特時把第二線的空間鼓漲起來，如果他們真的嘗試的話。（他們將不得不放棄勞爾內托和凱爾科沃爾的部分保障）

Getting Bird rights for Lin and Tomas Satoransky (restricted)is more valuable to the Jazz. They need shot-creators and table-setters to alleviate the on-ball burden of Donovan Mitchell (on a tear lately!). Satoransky doesn’t have Lin’s attack mode, but they’re both comfortable handling the rock and more dangerous off the catch than Ricky Rubio or Dante Exum.
獲得林和托馬斯薩托蘭斯基（受限制）的早鳥權對爵士來說更有價值。他們需要投籃機會創造者和場上部署者來減輕多諾萬米切爾（最近打瘋了！）的持球負擔。薩托蘭斯基沒有林的攻擊模式，但是他們都適應持球，而且無球作用比盧比奧和丹特伊薩姆更危險。

Derrick Favors is having a fine season—the best of anyone in this three-team dance party. But the Jazz are scarier when Jae Crowder plays the 4. They’re outscoring opponents by 3.3 points per 100 possessions with him at power forward, according to Cleaning the Glass . Sub in Favors, whose trade restriction lifts Jan. 15, and they’re a minus-3.4 1  .
德里克·費沃斯有一個很好的賽季-這個三方交易中最佳的一位。但根據Cleaning the Glass的數據，當傑克勞德打4號位時，爵士更加可怕。他們在他打大前鋒位置時每100回合得分超過對手3.3分。換上費沃爾–他的交易限制在1月15日解除–他們是負-3.4。

That disparity was even larger last year. Porter is overpaid—he’s owed $55.7 million over the next two seasons (2020-21 player option)—but he lets Utah lean into small-ball-4 looks for a full 48 minutes.
去年這種不對等甚至更大。波特的報酬過高-他在接下來的兩個賽季（2020-21球員選項）尚待支付55.7百萬美元–但是他讓猶他全部48分鐘都投入小球四號位的樣子。

Washington’s motives barely need unpacking, even if Satoransky’s tripe-double on Friday night is cause for cold feet. The two sides are already talking about an extension, according to NBC Sports’ Chase Hughes . Yank him, leave Thabo Sefolosha in Utah, and the deal still works.
華盛頓的動機幾乎不需要打開來看，即使周五晚上薩托蘭斯基的三雙表現是因為退縮了。根據NBC Sports的Chase Hughes的說法，雙方已經在談論延長合約。撬他過來，把拓博瑟夫羅沙留在猶他州，這項交易就成了。

Shedding both Mahinmi and Porter drags the Wizards beneath the luxury tax. The arrivals of Favors, Sefolosha (sidelined with a hamstring injury) and Ricky Rubio are impactful enough to keep them in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. And the nuclear option—selling Trevor Ariza and Bradley Beal, quickly re-shopping Favors and Rubio and starting over—will be there if they dare use it.
擺脫馬辛米和波特把奇才拉出奢侈稅之下。費沃爾，瑟弗洛沙（因腿筋受傷缺戰）和盧比奧到來，有足夠的影響力保持他們的東部聯盟季後賽角逐。而另一個核彈選項–賣掉特沃爾阿里扎和布拉德利比爾，很快的把費沃爾和盧比奧再次交易，重新開始–如果他們敢於這麼做，是擺在那裡了。
