General Manager Ryan McDonough told azcentral sports Saturday that the Suns
will be more aggressive in free agency this summer than initially planned
because, “the team is ready.”

McD跟AZCentral報社說太陽將會在這個夏天(文後有說包含6月)的FA市場比以往更積極
他認為這支球隊"已經準備好了"

Citing the emergence of Devin Booker as an All-Star caliber talent and the
productivity of small forward T.J. Warren, McDonough said it’s time for
Phoenix to pivot as an organization, using its cap space and future assets to
become a buyer in free agency.

舉個例像是由於這賽季Booker有著可以被投全明星票的潛力以及Warren的穩定輸出，太陽
將會以此為軸，會在今年FA市場上用薪資空間和未來資產來當買家

“There are certain core pieces that are starting to solidify,” McDonough
said. “I think we’d be foolish or naïve to wait forever or be overly
patient. We’ve been, I think, relatively disciplined with contracts we’ve
given out in terms of length and dollars, but yeah, we’re planning on being
one of five of six teams with a decent amount of cap space, and we’ll see if
we can improve the team.”

McD說"有些資產可以開始從零錢換成整鈔了，我認為一直等下去或過度保持耐心是好傻
好天真，有些合約會相對精算長度及金額，但是我們打算將成為今夏市場上最有銀彈的
五或六支球隊之一用來改善這支球隊"


In trading point guard Eric Bledsoe to the Milwaukee Bucks in November and
shedding his $15 million salary for the 2018-19 season, the Suns put
themselves in position to have approximately $20 million available in cap
space this summer, assuming they don’t re-sign unrestricted free agent
center Alex Len.

在將Bledsoe交易去公鹿後，初步預估如果不帶回Len的話，太陽將會有約20M的空間

Phoenix could free up additional cap space by trading either center Tyson
Chandler ($13.5 million next season) or forward Jared Dudley ($9.5 million).
That would give the Suns the ability to sign an elite free agent to a max
contract or trade for an established player with a big deal.

如果太陽真的打算簽一個頂薪的話，上述20M的空間可以再去做一些交易將Dudley(9.5M)
或是Chandler(13.5M)釋放出來就有了

Given it's likely the Suns won’t land a LeBron James or Paul George and
aren't interested in free agents over the age of 30, here are a few names
that will be available this summer and fit Phoenix’s needs:

太陽不太可能追到一線明星像是LBJ或PG，也對年過而立的球員沒很高的興趣，所以以下
是(作者開的)一些可能的人選

Clint Capela (RFA)
Aaron Gordon (PFA)
Nikola Mirotic(PO)
Derrick Favors
Tyreke Evans
Jusuf Nurkic (RFA)
Elfrid Payton(RFA)
Marcus Smart (RFA)

That decision, along with the potential of having three first-round picks in
the 2018 draft, also is impacting the Suns’ thinking in regards to the Feb.
8 trade deadline. As of Saturday, Phoenix would have the No. 5 overall pick,
the pick it acquired from the Bucks as part of the Bledsoe deal – it confers
to the Suns between Nos. 11-16 – and Miami’s top-seven protected pick.
Currently, that’s No. 22.

另外在六月的2018選秀會中太陽有三隻可能的首輪籤---太陽，公鹿，熱火，可能會改變
不少太陽對交易大限的看法

McDonough said it’s fortuitous for the Suns to have multiple picks because
the draft is deep at the two positions they need to address: point guard and
center. In the most recent mock draft by nbadraft.net, Slovenian point guard
Luka Doncic, Oklahoma’s Trae Young and Alabama’s Collin Sexton are all
projected to be top-eight picks, as are big men Deandre Ayton of Arizona, Duke
’s Marvin Bagley III and Texas’ Mohamed Bamba.

McD認為太陽在這屆選秀會上擁有複數隻籤覺得不錯，因為這屆選秀人數最深的兩個位置
剛好是太陽現在最需要的兩個位置:控衛和中鋒

光是高順位就不少這兩個位置

控衛:Luka Doncic(作者認為)，Trae Young，Collin Sexton

中鋒:Deandre Ayton，Marvin Bagley III，Mohamed Bamba

“One of the things we’re excited about in this draft is if all the players
we expect to declare are in, I think the strength of the draft is where we
can use some help, at the one and the five primarily,” McDonough said. “We’
re kind of searching for answers long-term at those positions.”

McD說"如果我們希望的球員都宣布參加這屆選秀就好了，尤其是這屆在1號位和5號位的
強度，可以直接提供太陽幫助，會在這兩個位置找到未來長期的人選"

Because of the depth at point guard, in particular, McDonough indicated it’s
less likely Phoenix will make a move for a veteran point guard before the
Feb. 8 deadline. Charlotte’s Kemba Walker has been mentioned as a
possibility, but he’s 27 and his contract expires after the 2018-19 season.

也因為上述提到一號位的狀況，McD認為太陽將不太可能在交易大限找來資深點的控衛，
像是最近很熱鬧的Kemba Walker

“If we can make any moves there that could help us in the short-term
solution, we’ll look at that,” McDonough said, “but I think (we’re more
interested) in a long-term solution.”

McD認為短期解答會考慮一下，但是太陽會更希望在長期解答

Also, the Suns wouldn’t pursue Walker without knowing they could sign him to
a long-term deal, and McDonough said he’s hesitant to pursue any trade that
cuts into Phoenix’s cap space.

另外，太陽也不可能在不知道Walker是否願意續長約的狀況下追求，另外也不會做任何交
易影響太陽的薪資空間來運用

“I think for us to significantly cut into that and take us out of the
free-agent market or make us less of a player in free agency, we would have
to take a really good player coming back in return that fits with our young
core,” he said. “When I say young core, I don’t necessarily mean a guy 20
or 21 years old, but not a guy who’s in their 30s and closer to the end of
their career than toward the beginning or the middle.”

McD說"太陽會在市場上帶回很好且適合陣中年輕核心的球員，但不是指一定要20,21歲的
，但也不會是年過30或接近退休的球員"

Whatever decisions the Suns make will be influenced by their decision to move
their timeline up by a year.

無論做甚麼決定，太陽會讓這一年加速Timeline

“We’ve been patient,” McDonough said. “I think we’ll try to accelerate
things this summer with all our draft picks and cap space. That’s kind of
our mindset as we sit here today in late January.”

McD說在一月末太陽將會保持耐心，直到這個夏天用所有的籤和薪資空間來想辦法加速
