Report: Cavs gaining traction on talks surrounding Kemba Walker

With the NBA’s trade deadline approaching fast (Feb. 8 at 3:00 p.m. EST), sev
eral teams around the league are searching for potential trade partners, inclu
ding the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets.

離NBA交易截止日越來越近(台灣時間2月9日凌晨4點)，聯盟中的數支球隊仍在持續尋找潛
在的交易對象，包括了騎士和黃蜂。

There have been subtle hints in recent days indicating that the Cavs are inter
ested in Hornets point guard Kemba Walker, but is Charlotte willing to listen
to offers from Cleveland? The answer appears to be yes, according to ESPN’s B
rian Windhorst.

這幾天一直有消息指出騎士對黃蜂的Kemba Walker有興趣，而黃蜂當然也有聆聽騎士這邊
的報價。

Windhorst joined The Dan LeBetard Show on Wednesday morning to discuss the sit
uation, stating that trade talks between the Cavs and Hornets have gained tr
action.”

根據記者Brian Windhorst星期三早上在The Dan LeBetard Show節目上指出，騎士和黃蜂
正持續加大交易討論力度。

Walker, now 27 years of age, is under contract with the Hornets through the 20
18-19 season at a reasonable $12 million. In his 51 games played this season,
the former University of Connecticut stand-out has turned in averages of 22.6
points in 42.4 percent shooting from the field (36.7 percent from beyond the a
rc), 5.8 assists, and 3.4 rebounds.


The Hornets could also be looking to move Dwight Howard and Nicolas Batum, tho
ugh their contracts are a bit steep. Batum’s salary is set at roughly $24.5 m
illion for the next three years.

黃蜂也考慮動魔獸和Batum這兩個身背大合約的球員，尤其是Batum，在未來三年大概每年
有24
5M。


Who (or what) would the Cavs be willing to offer?

騎士可以提供什麼報價？

According to several reports, the Cavs would consider trading their coveted fi
rst round pick from the Brooklyn Nets, but only for a proper return. Cleveland
 would move certain players as well, but exactly who remains to be seen. Some
experts and analysts have speculated that the Cavs are willing to part ways wi
th players like Isaiah Thomas, J.R. Smith, Tristan Thompson, or even Channing
Frye.

根據一些報導指出，騎士考慮拿出籃網籤，但前提是有適合的回報，一些專家分析騎士有
可能丟出的球員包括IT、JR、TT甚至是Frye。

Whether or not the Cavs and Hornets will be able to complete a trade remains t
o be seen, but that proverbial clock on the wall is ticking. Be sure to keep y

不管最後騎士和黃蜂的交易是否會完成，但所剩的時間已經不多了，接下來就讓我們好好
拭目以待。
