※ 引述《kairiyu (E N O U G H is enough)》之銘言：
: The Houston Rockets Have No Chance At Signing Kevin Durant
:
: 火箭不太可能有辦法簽下Durant
:
: https://goo.gl/tZibXX
: Kevin Durant will hit free agency in July, and the Houston Rockets are least
: likely to sign him.
: KD夏季進入自由市場將會投下一顆震撼彈，而火箭隊幾乎不太可能可以簽下他。
: The Oklahoma City Thunder have hit a rough patch in the season. Since the
: All-Star break, the Thunder has played under .500 recording a 3-6 record.
: 雷霆隊本季打得有點跌跌撞撞，明星週後只有3勝6敗不到5成的勝率。
: With every loss, the rumors about Kevin Durant’s free agency becomes more
: frequent by the day. When the free agency market opens up in July, it is
: without a doubt every team in the league will enter the “Durantula
: Sweepstakes.” Perhaps, Durant will have more teams knocking on his door tha
n
: LeBron James in 2010.
: 隨著時間過去，只要一輸球，KD的交易流言就會越來越頻繁地出現。今年夏季應該每一
隊
: 都會加入競爭雷帝的行列，這競爭的盛況也許會比當年LBJ出走騎士時還要更大。
: Among many teams who are hoping to sign the 27-year old are the Houston
: Rockets. Over the past few months Houston has made it clear that signing
: Durant will be one of their primary goals this summer. Although it would be
: nice to see him teaming up with James Harden and Dwight Howard, the Rockets
: may have the least likely chance of acquiring the former MVP.
: 火箭也會是競爭27歲的KD中的一隊，過去幾個月火箭清楚表示簽下雷帝會是這個夏季首
要
: 任務。雖然雷帝+Harden+Howard的組合好像還不錯，但是火箭應該是競爭者中最不可能
可
: 以簽下這位前mvp的球隊。
: Honestly speaking, it is hard to imagine Durant leaving OKC for any team. He
: has proven his loyalty to the city as well as created the best one-two punch
: in the league alongside Russell Westbrook. However, if he does leave, the
: Rockets seems like an unrealistic destination. Before umping on this theory
: consider how much Houston have going against them.
: 老實說，很難想像Durant離開OKC去任何一隊，他已經清楚地向這座城市輸誠並希望繼
續
: 和西河一起組成聯盟最可怕的雙槍組合。但是若他真的離開的話，去火箭有點不太實際
，
: 在我們檢視這個假設前讓我們先試想一下火箭跟他有多不搭。
: If Durant brought his talents to Clutch City, there is a high possibility
: that Houston’s team chemistry would be at its worst. Everyone wants to be
: Michael Jackson, but no one wants to sacrifice to become Jermaine Jackson.
: 如果KD帶著他的天賦到休士頓，火箭隊的化學反應可能會很糟，每個人都想當
: Michael Jackson但是沒有人想要去當Jermaine Jackson(麥可的三哥)。
: Sure, it worked for Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh in Miami, but
: there are some doubts Durant, Harden, and Howard would make the same
: sacrifices. If Durant were to sign in Houston, the Rockets would likely have
: more confrontation with their three superstars.
: 回顧來看，Wade、LBJ和Bosh的組合成功了但是Durant、Harden和Howard之間是不是可
以
: 彼此各讓一步就很難說了。如果Durant去火箭，這三巨頭之間可能會有更多的爭奪對抗
。
: One can argue that the bearded one and K.D. made a great duo in OKC, but
: Harden is no longer considered the “League’s Best Sixth Man.” Playing
: second fiddle to Durant will not be as easy as it was during his first three
: years in the league. Harden has evolved into one of the top players in the
: Association, and Houston is his city.
: 有人可能會說：「大鬍子之前跟KD在OKC搭配得很好阿！」但是Harden已經不再是過去
那
: 個最佳第六人了，現在叫他當KD的助手不會再像之前Harden生涯前三季那樣簡單，他已
經
: 是聯盟頂尖球星之一，而休士頓是他的地盤。
: With only one ball to share, Durant and Harden would have to sacrifice their
: touches in order to win. Safe to say when healthy Durant is the better
: player, so, unfortunately, Harden will no longer be Houston’s go-to man.
: 場上只有一顆球，KD和Harden之間勢必有人要為了勝利犧牲點球權，保險來說，健康的
KD
: 是更好的球員，這樣一來Harden就再也不是火箭的關鍵進攻者了。
: Oh, and do not forget the Rockets’ will still have to find a way to get
: Dwight Howard his touches. Howard has a history of not playing defense when
: he is not getting enough touches on the offensive end. So if he wants to
: reestablish himself as an offensive player, Howard may want to reconsider
: joining forces with another dynamic scorer.
: 別忘了還要想辦法讓Howard得到些球權，Howard以往的歷史顯示若他沒有在進攻端獲得
足
: 夠的球權，他在防守端也不玩了，所以他若想要讓自己再次成為名進攻型球員，他也許
會
: 想要跟另一個得分好手合作。
: Realistically, there are only three teams that have the best chances of
: signing Durant.
: 實際上，只有三隊有最好的機會可以爭奪KD。
: With only a month before the Kobe Bryant era ends, the Lakers will make one
: of the strongest pitches to Durant. Playing alongside Jordan Clarkson and D
’
: Angelo Russell, the Lakers would instantly become a playoff team again.
: However, what would separate the Lakers from the Rockets are their market
: sizes. Houston has a nice size market, but it does not compare to Los Angele
s.
: 距離Kobe退休剩下約一個月左右的時間，湖人會提出最優渥的條件向KD推銷自己，若跟
: Clarkson和Russell一起，湖人馬上就會再次成為季後賽隊伍。另外湖人跟火箭還有一
點
: 優勢，雖然休士頓市場也不錯，就是湖人隊的市場價值要來的更大。
: The Boston Celtics is another team who has a greater chance of signing Duran
t
: before the Rockets. Playing in Boston would allow Durant a chance to play
: with an elite pass-first point guard, and not another ball dominant player
: like James Harden or Russell Westbrook. Durant is already a great player, bu
t
: playing alongside Isaiah Thomas would elevate his game to another level.
: 賽爾提克會是另一隻比火箭更有強力優勢的競爭隊伍，去那裏KD可以跟一位優秀的傳球
型
: 控衛合作，而不是像Harden或是西河那樣傾向大量球權的球員，KD已經是一位頂尖球員
，
: 但跟I湯合作應該可以讓他更上一層樓。
: The team with the best chance to steal the All-Star away from the Thunder ar
e
: the Washington Wizards. Not only can Durant play with an elite pass-first
: point guard in John Wall, but have a chance to play in his hometown.
: 還有一隊有很好機會簽下KD的就是巫師隊，不但可以和優秀傳球型控衛John Wall合作
，
: 還可以在自己的家鄉打球。
: I would love to see a big three of Durant, Harden, and Howard as much as the
: next Rockets fan. Unfortunately, this move seems far from reality. However,
: the Rockets do not need to sign a marquee free agent to compete with the bes
t
: in the league.
: 筆者很樂意見到KD+Harden+Howard的三巨頭組合，但是很不幸的這似乎不太實際，不過
: 火箭其實也不太需要再簽下另一名頂尖球星以角逐聯盟最佳球隊。
: With roughly $12.64 million to spend this summer, the Rockets should use tha
t
: money to bring in additional veteran players that have the ability to help
: them conquer their two major weaknesses: perimeter defense and rebounding.
: Besides, the Rockets should be more worried about keeping their current
: All-Star pair together as Dwight Howard prepares to explore the market. And
: as awful as this season has been, the Rockets should feel lucky to sign
: anyone this summer.
: 這個夏季火箭大約還有1264萬的薪資空間可以運用，應該用來簽下另一個有經驗的好手
去
: 補足兩個缺點：陣地防守和鞏固籃板。另外，火箭應該更擔心如何留下Howard。本季的
狀
: 況有點糟的情況下，這個夏季不管可以簽到誰，火箭都應該感到幸運了。
