通过 2024 年自由球员综述跟踪最新的休赛期新闻。

When folks think back to the Golden State Warriors of recent memory, they will remember guard Stephen Curry as the face of the franchise and a player who revolutionized the NBA. Draymond Green will be recalled as the grit, the mouth, and the mean.
当人们回想起最近记忆中的金州勇士队时，他们会记得后卫斯蒂芬库里是球队的代言人，也是彻底改变NBA的球员。德雷蒙德·格林（Draymond Green）将被召回为砂砾，嘴巴和卑鄙的人。 

But Klay Thompson likely will be thought of as the glue of that successful team, committed to the group, and as capable of leading with some comic relief as he often did with his skill at both ends. 
但克莱-汤普森可能会被认为是这支成功球队的粘合剂，他致力于团队，并且能够像他在攻防两端经常做的那样，以喜剧的方式领导球队。 

Here are three takeaways as a big page turned on Warriors basketball Monday, with the news that Thompson, a free agent guard, is reportedly heading to the Dallas Mavericks for a three-year, $50 million contract:
以下是勇士队篮球周一翻开重要篇章的三个要点，据报道，自由球员后卫汤普森将前往达拉斯小牛队，签订一份为期三年、价值 5000 万美元的合同：

1. Sun sets on Splash dynasty
1. 太阳落在飞溅王朝

It isn’t always easy to tie a bow on an era. Bill Russell and Michael Jordan pulled it off, retiring to put full stops on their respective teams’ great runs, but they might be exceptions.
在一个时代系上蝴蝶结并不总是那么容易。比尔·拉塞尔（Bill Russell）和迈克尔·乔丹（Michael Jordan）成功了，退役后为各自球队的出色表现画上了句号，但他们可能是例外。 

Some will argue a dynasty ends with its last championship, which both Russell’s Celtics in 1969 and Jordan’s Bulls in 1998 had. Others will focus on the most obvious whimper of goodbye, which the Warriors coughed up in losing their Play-In game to Sacramento by 24 points. 
有些人会争辩说，一个王朝的终结是最后一个总冠军，1969年拉塞尔的凯尔特人队和1998年乔丹的公牛队都有过。其他人将关注最明显的告别呜咽，勇士队在入围赛中以 24 分之差输给萨克拉门托。 

Many, however, will mark the end of Golden State’s extended run by Thompson’s departure. He’s the first to go of the three core players who started and were part of it all: Curry, Green and Thompson. 
然而，许多人将标志着汤普森离开后金州勇士队的终结。他是首发的三名核心球员中第一个离开的：库里、格林和汤普森。 

Sure, Kevin Durant came and went, and his two Finals MVP trophies make Durant’s case as an essential member. But the bandwagon was rolling when the lanky sharpshooter jumped aboard and, to almost everyone’s surprise, it didn’t stop when Durant left.
当然，凯文杜兰特来来去去，他的两座总决赛MVP奖杯使杜兰特成为必不可少的一员。但是，当这位瘦高的神枪手跳上船时，潮流正在滚滚而来，几乎所有人都感到惊讶的是，当杜兰特离开时，潮流并没有停止。 

This time, this exit, hits different.
这一次，这个出口，击中了不同。

Thompson arrived in 2011 as the perfect backcourt partner to the slithery, slippery Curry. He brought catch-and-shoot prowess, defense, a certain toughness, and a team-first commitment that could seem wonderfully naïve in modern pro sports. Green came on a year later, a unique and mercurial performer plugged into the middle of it all. 
汤普森于 2011 年来到这里，成为滑溜溜的库里的完美后场搭档。他带来了接球投篮能力、防守能力、一定的韧性和团队至上的承诺，这在现代职业体育中似乎非常幼稚。一年后，格林登场，一个独特而善变的表演者插入了这一切的中间。 

For the record, that Golden State crew earned four championships and played in six NBA Finals in their 10 seasons of actually playing together (Thompson missed the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons with injuries). They were 306 games over .500 in those 10 years, with Thompson missing (and triggering) the 15-50 post-COVID regrouping.
根据记录，这支金州队在他们实际一起打球的 10 个赛季中获得了四次总冠军并参加了六次 NBA 总决赛（汤普森因伤错过了 2019-20 赛季和 2020-21 赛季）。在这 10 年里，他们有 306 场比赛超过 500 分，汤普森错过（并触发）了 15-50 的 COVID 后重组。

2. Unfortunate but inevitable 
2. 不幸但不可避免

This feels wrong, of course, seeing a vaunted contributor to so much success pack off by himself for a Western Conference rival. Several have drawn comparisons to Ray Allen leaving Boston for Miami in 2012, but Thompson’s Bay Area roots ran much deeper.
当然，这感觉不对劲，看到一个自吹自擂的成功贡献者独自为西方联盟的竞争对手打包。一些人将雷·艾伦与2012年离开波士顿前往迈阿密相提并论，但汤普森的湾区根源要深得多。 

Sentiment takes a back seat to the NBA’s current collective bargaining agreement and its cap restrictions, tax aprons, penalties on roster tools and more. Even the Chase Center ATM can’t belch up money fast enough to fund the payroll if the Warriors aren’t stacking up a couple rounds worth of home playoff gates every spring.
市场情绪在NBA目前的集体谈判协议及其上限限制、税收围裙、对名册工具的处罚等方面处于次要地位。如果勇士队没有每年春天积累几轮主场季后赛大门，即使是大通中心的自动取款机也无法足够快地筹集资金来支付工资。 

As GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. said when Thompson’s fate came up in a pre-Draft chat with reporters: “To completely strip the emotion away from [it], I think that’s almost impossible. But this is a business.” 
正如总经理小迈克·邓利维（Mike Dunleavy Jr.）在选秀前与记者聊天时谈到汤普森的命运时所说：“要完全剥离情感，我认为这几乎是不可能的。但这是一门生意。 

The franchise has turned a corner and is working toward a new era. The finances have to track, and they don’t have room for a sweet services-rendered payday, not at 2024 prices. Remember, too, that the Warriors signed Thompson to his five-year, $190 million max contract in July 2019 — between his torn ACL and ruptured Achilles tendon injuries.
特许经营权已经转危为安，正在努力迈向一个新时代。财务状况必须跟踪，他们没有空间提供甜蜜的服务发薪日，而不是以 2024 年的价格。还记得，勇士队在2019年7月与汤普森签下了一份为期五年、价值1.9亿美元的顶薪合同——在他前交叉韧带撕裂和跟腱断裂之间。

3. Dallas got better 
3. 达拉斯变得更好了

There still were details to be finalized when this one leaked as a three-team deal between Golden State, Dallas and Charlotte. That’s awkward, leaving the whole arrangement uncomfortably in doubt. But from what was reported, combined with some other moves, the Mavericks team that just reached the 2024 Finals seems to have improved.
当这笔交易泄露为金州、达拉斯和夏洛特之间的三支球队交易时，仍有细节有待敲定。这很尴尬，让整个安排令人不舒服。但从报道来看，再加上其他一些举动，刚刚进入2024年总决赛的小牛队似乎有所进步。 

On Sunday, Dallas reportedly reached an agreement with New Orleans free agent Naji Marshall on a three-year, $27 million contract. That led to Mavs forward Derrick Jones Jr. heading to the Clippers. The Mavericks already had traded Tim Hardaway Jr. to Detroit for guard Quentin Grimes in a reported deal. Also, Josh Green was said to be headed to Charlotte in the Thompson three-way.
据报道，周日，达拉斯与新奥尔良自由球员纳吉·马歇尔（Naji Marshall）达成了一份为期三年、价值2700万美元的合同。这导致小牛队前锋小德里克·琼斯前往快船队。据报道，小牛队已经将小蒂姆·哈达威交易到底特律，换取后卫昆汀·格莱姆斯。此外，据说约什-格林将乘坐汤普森三人组前往夏洛特。 

Marshall projects as an upgrade over the journeyman Jones. And who better than Thompson, renowned for getting buckets on a minimum number of dribbles, to play alongside ball-dominant stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving?  

Never mind if the former Warrior at 34 has enough in the tank over the next three seasons. What matters most is 2024-25. Dallas needs to repeat in the West and push through its championship window right now. By skill set, by motivation, and by fit, few would be better suited to bringing the right boost than Thompson.
