科尔谈论安德鲁-维金斯：从球队位置而言他更合适
BEN PICKMAN FEB 7, 2020
The day after the Warriors completed a trade with Minnesota shipping D'Angelo Russell, Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman to the Wolves in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, a lightly-protected 2021 first-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr explained the rationale[1] behind the deal.
在交易截止日前，勇士与森林狼达成交易，送出了丹吉洛-拉塞尔、雅各布-埃文斯和奥马里-斯佩尔曼，得到了安德鲁-威金斯、一个受保护的2021年首轮签以及一个2021年次轮签。在此交易完成一天后，勇士主教练斯蒂夫-科尔解释了这宗交易背后的考虑。

"We know that Andrew is a better positional fit for us than what D'Angelo was, just given that Steph (Curry) and Klay (Thompson) will be back by next season—hopefully before then in Steph's case, " Kerr said. "So he's a good positional fit, athletically—now it's a matter of catching Andrew up to speed with what we like to do here and really trying to make an impact on him regarding our process and how we like to do our business and how we can help him get better and how he can help our team get better."
“考虑到下赛季开始前斯蒂芬（库里）和克莱（汤普森）将会回归，我们认为从球队位置角度考虑，安德鲁（维金斯）比丹吉洛（拉塞尔）更加合适。当然，斯蒂芬有望更早复出，”科尔讲到。“他出色的运动能力使他能够成为球队非常合适的位置补充——现在要做的事情使让他能够融入球队，使他能够深刻理解我们是如何运作的，是如何帮助他提升自我，以及他如何能够帮助球队。”
Wiggins' pace and speed at the three is another thing that Kerr likes about the former No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft. The Kansas product is averaging 22.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists on the season. After this year, Wiggins will be left with three years on his deal, worth just under $95 million.
维金斯在三号位上所展示出来的脚步与速度使科尔对这位2014年状元秀青睐有加。这位来自堪萨斯大学的球员本赛季场均能够拿到22.4分5.2篮板3.7助攻。在这个赛季后，维金斯仅有三年9500万美元的合同。
The Warriors are currently just 12-40, the worst record in the Western Conference, but are poised to be at full-strength in future seasons.
勇士目前以12胜40负的战绩在西部垫底，但已经准备好在未来几个赛季大展拳脚。
Kerr acknowledged that there were initial concerns when Russell was signed this past offseason.
科尔也回应称休赛期与拉塞尔签约时，球队是存在一定担忧的。
"To be perfectly blunt, the fit was questionable when we signed him. Nobody questioned that," Kerr said. "When you already have Steph and Klay and you add a ball-dominant guard you can rightfully question the fit. That was one of those reasons the trade rumors started before the season even began and I think D'Angelo understood that before he signed the contract."
“非常坦率地说，当我们签下他的时候，对他的适配性是存疑的，这是无可否认的，”科尔讲到。“当你已经拥有斯蒂芬和克莱，却又增加了一名持球后卫时，你有理由去质疑。这也是在赛季开始前就有交易流言的原因之一，我认为丹吉洛在签约的时候也是明白这一点的。”
The 23-year-old Russell agreed to a four-year, $117 million deal this past offseason upon joining the Warriors, having notched his first career All-Star appearance last season when he was the centerpiece of the Nets. The Lakers originally selected Russell with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft out of Ohio State. Los Angeles jettisoned[2] him to Brooklyn in 2017 in a trade that netted Brook Lopez.
23岁的拉塞尔上赛季是篮网的核心球员，在职业生涯中第一次成功入选了全明星，并在休赛期与勇士达成了4年1.17亿美元的合同。他在2015年以榜眼身份被湖人选中，但2017年湖人在拿下布鲁克-洛佩兹的交易中将他送到了篮网。
