Inside Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s second season and the Warriors’ chase for the
next big fish

勇士記者Anthony Slater出了一篇文分系勇士總管 Mike Dunleavy Jr這個暑假的操盤
裡面有一段有講勇士這個暑假交易的變動脈絡
When Dunleavy laid out the blueprint to Curry and Green, Utah Jazz forward
Lauri Markkanen wasn’t Plan B. He was a subsection of Plan A. The Warriors
wanted both wings — believing George’s opt-out threat would allow them to
protect the required assets to entice Utah Jazz CEO Danny Ainge, and Markkanen
’s reasonable $18 million returning salary could make the financials work.
“The conversation was always about that possibility,” Green said. “You get
both of those guys, you make a huge splash. But the Clippers weren’t really
willing to play ball. Then Danny Ainge was being Danny Ainge.”
當Dunleavy對Curry和Green展現他的建隊藍圖時，Lauri Markkanen並不是所謂的計畫B，
而是計畫A的一部分。勇士本來想要同時得到兩名前鋒，他們認為George可能跳出合約的
風險可以讓他們保留需要的資產來與Danny Ainge談交易，並且Lauri Markkanen年薪僅
1800萬的合約也能讓交易運作。
(就是最後會是PG+Markkanen都拿到手)
「對話總是圍繞這種可能性進行」，Green說。「如果得到這兩人，就能造成巨大的影響
，但快艇並沒有意願合作，而Ainge則是一如往常的很Ainge。」
If George had been in tow, perhaps the Warriors would’ve unloaded everything
left in the cupboard for Markkanen — all the first-rounders,
second-rounders, swaps and young players the Jazz requested. Contention would
’ve been a reasonable expectation.
But without George, it’s clear the Warriors didn’t like the price
considering the return on investment. That’s what Dunleavy relayed to Kerr
in that pre-free-agency meeting at Casa Del Mar.
如果勇士拿到George，或許勇士會All in他們的首輪、次輪和爵士隊要求的年輕球員，畢
竟在這種情況下拚冠是合理的做法。但沒有George的情況下，勇士隊並不喜歡這筆交易的
投資報酬率，這也是Dunleavy在自由市場會面時告訴Kerr的。
“Mike is very sensible,” Kerr said. “He just said to me, ‘It doesn’t
make sense to sell your entire future for a team that you think can be pretty
good, but isn’t awesome, right?’ Especially at this stage with the ages of
our stars.”
「Mike非常理智」，Kerr說。「他告訴我，為了一個還不錯，但不夠好的球隊賣掉你球隊
的整個未來並不合理，尤其是在你的核心球員年紀已經偏大的情況下。」
Dunleavy put it this way at his pre-camp news conference: “There’s no point
in going all in to be slightly above average.”
Dunleavy也在訓練營前的新聞發布會上表達了相同的觀點
「為了稍微變好而梭哈，這完全沒有意義。」
Three weeks later, in the same room that Dunleavy delivered that quote,
controlling owner Lacob is reminded of the framing.
過了三週後，勇士隊老闆Lacob也提到他有聽到這樣的說法。
“I saw where he said that,” Lacob said.
「我看到了他說的那些話」，Lacob說。
Lacob is perpetually outward about his ambition and optimism, so it isn’t
the easiest thing to concede that, even with a large summer swing, this
Warriors team still wouldn’t have been good enough.
“Well, here’s the issue,” Lacob said. “You’ve heard me say and you’ve
heard him say: Making trades is really hard in this league. And often you
have to overpay. We know that. But when you say all in, I mean in one of the
situations that was a trade that you’re alluding to, ALL IN should have been
in capital letters.”
All the firsts, seconds, swaps, Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga and
Moses Moody.
Lacob一向以樂觀的態度表達他對球隊的雄心壯志，因此要承認經過一個夏天的變動後勇
士並不夠好對他來說並不容易。
「問題在這裡」，Lacob說。「你有聽過我說過，也聽過其他人說過，達成交易在這個聯
盟並不容易，並且你常常會被迫付出過高的代價。但當你說要梭哈時，在你提到的其中一
個交易裡，‘梭哈’這個詞應該用大寫來表達。」
“So that term is important,” Lacob said. “It’s not just a term. That was
something we tried hard to do. If you’re going to get the guy you want, you
can do that. We’ve done it before. We did it with (Kevin Durant). We had to
gut half the roster if you recall. So if it’s the right move, we’re willing
to go quote ‘capital A capital L capital L’ all in. But you can only do
that once, so you’d better be right.”
「因為這個詞非常重要，這不僅僅是一個詞，而是代表我們需要全力以赴去爭取的。如果
你想要得到某個你想要的球員，你可以這樣做（梭哈）。我們之前為了KD做過，我們拆了
一半的球員。所以如果那是對的決定，我們願意全力拚一次，但你只能拚一次，所以你最
好做對。」
中間有一段講Dunleavy的領導特質，Kerr說他能處理艱難的決定之類的
但有一段是Curry對沒有梭哈這件事情也蠻坦然的
Perhaps the most difficult — or at least most delicate — conversations of
Dunleavy’s summer came with Curry. The Warriors indirectly walked Thompson
out the door, weren’t able to get Curry the second established scorer he
craved and pivoted into a patient approach months before Curry’s 37th
birthday, all while convincing him to add an extra year onto his contract.
對Dunleavy來說，這個夏天最困難的就是與Curry的對話。Thompson的離開，無法為Curry
找到他希望的第二得分點，並在Curry的37歲生日前達成了他的續約，並且希望Curry能夠
有耐心。
“He’s just honest,” Curry said of Dunleavy. “The same way Bob was. I
always say I just want to see effort and an aggressive nature.”
「他很誠實」，Curry談到Dunleavy時說。「這也是過去Bob的作風，我總是說我只是想看
到努力和積極的態度。」
Dunleavy plotted the George recruitment with Curry. He kept him up to date on
any material Markkanen development. They discussed other names that both
agreed didn’t move the needle. Curry and Green have always been De’Anthony
Melton fans. Melton said the Warriors’ front office was in his agent’s
office within 20 minutes of free agency starting.
Dunleavy與Curry一起策劃了招募George的計劃，並隨時向他更新Markkanen交易的進展。
他們討論了其他幾個名字，但雙方都同意這些名字無法改變現狀。Curry和Green一直以來
都是De’Anthony Melton的粉絲。Melton說，當自由市場開始20分鐘後，勇士就聯繫了他
的經紀人。
Don’t mistake Curry’s understanding with a lack of urgency. He’s still in
a sturdy alliance with the organization because he trusts Dunleavy similar to
how he trusted Myers and he’s been led to believe that they will strike —
using future picks and other necessary sacrifices — to maximize the next
couple of seasons if the right trade materializes.
不要誤以為Curry對球隊的理解代表他缺乏緊迫感。他與球隊的關係仍然很穩固，因為他
信任Dunleavy，就如同他當初信任Myers一樣。而且Curry被告知，如果合適的交易出現，
勇士願意砸選秀權和其他資產來最大化接下來的幾個賽季。
“Yeah, but nobody knows what that means until there’s an opportunity or you
assess what this team is,” Curry said.
「是的，但直到出現合適的機會或你可以正確評估球隊的情況時，沒人知道那究竟代表什
麼意思」，Curry說。
In the last couple of months, the Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves had a
conversation about Karl Anthony-Towns, league sources said, but it didn’t go
anywhere. The Timberwolves targeted a specific package from the New York
Knicks that the Warriors didn’t possess. There’s no other obvious big name
immediately available as the regular season arrives.
在過去的幾個月，勇士有與灰狼商討過KAT的交易，但沒進展。灰狼針對尼克提出了明
確的交易包裹，但勇士無法匹配。隨著賽季即將開始，目前暫時沒有其他明星球員可供交
易。
“I just think the biggest thing for me is, as a player, when you’re dealing
with a GM, there are material moments throughout the year that you want to
have an alignment,” Curry said. “Come New Year, I may have a check-in. Come
trade deadline, I might have a check-in. Come offseason, I have a check-in.
The rest of the time it’s his job to go maintain relationships and keep an
eye on the league. It’s my job to go hoop.”
「我認為對我來說，最重要的是，作為一名球員，當你與GM討論時，會有幾個關鍵時
刻你希望雙方能夠達成共識。當新年到來，我可能會與他交流了解情況；交易截止日前，
我可能會再次確認情況；到了休賽季，我會再次與他討論球隊的狀況。其餘的時間，就是
他的工作去維持球員的關係和關注聯盟的動態，而我的工作就是上場打球。」
總結就是，勇士本來的目標是
PG可以以保留資產的情況下從快艇那邊拿到，然後All in Lauri=組成一個爭冠隊伍
但前者失敗後，總管認為現在梭哈沒意義，縮了也不能爭冠
Curry也暫時可以理解並且願意等待機會，然後他一年會跳下來跟總管談論球隊的情況
3次
新年 交易大限 休賽季，剩下的時間要怎麼維持球員的關係跟聯盟情況的變動如何是總
管的工作
然後這訪問最奇怪的就是交易沒達成是Green跑出來說的XD
