（2024年NBA进入休赛期调查
哪些球星会在这个夏天换队?哪个总经理面临着最令人困惑的决定?我们的工作人员在繁忙的NBA休赛期开始时对这些问题和更多问题进行了权衡（发表自己的意见）。
你听到了吗?请仔细聆听。这是NBA休赛期进入高潮的节奏。南海滩的太阳正在凯尔特人的夺冠庆典上落下。离NBA选秀还有不到一周的时间，自由市场很快就会到来。公牛已经做了一笔充满问题性的交易。这一切都在发生，Ringer的工作人员在这里帮你准备应对。以下是他们对将决定这个夏天的5个最大问题的回答。
从这里我们就可以看出来，这是记者们自己的看法，和球队具体动向基本上没有关联。
然后我们找到Beck谈论巴特勒的部分，以及上下文：
“Who will be the biggest star to change teams this summer?
Howard Beck: Jimmy Butler will be traded. Rival executives have been buzzing about it for months, for all the obvious reasons. Butler is about to turn 35 (with a lot of hard miles and a lot of injuries), with one year left on his Heat contract, and is reportedly seeking a two-year, $113 million extension. If the Heat grant it, they’ll have little to no flexibility to add another star. And they absolutely need one.
Credit Butler for powering Miami to two Finals in five seasons. But a team built around Butler and Bam Adebayo isn’t enough to challenge the Celtics, Bucks, or Sixers in the East. Pat Riley is known for moving off his high-priced players before they fall off a cliff. And Butler at this stage would be much more valuable as a second or third option on a contender than as the top dog in Miami. This feels like the right time for a pivot.
Michael Pina: It would be sad watching Klay Thompson play basketball in another uniform, but if he’s unwilling to take a hometown discount and wants to challenge himself in a situation that better positions him to win a playoff series, there’s a decent chance the unthinkable will become reality. The Magic, 76ers, and (very scary) Thunder would all be thrilled to add one of the best shooters who’s ever lived. Assuming the price is right—that is, a short-term, huge-dollar deal—Thompson’s plug-and-play skill set would bolster any of those offenses, naturally complementing Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren. Spacing is everything; Thompson is just one year removed from taking and making more 3s than anyone in the entire league.”
（谁将是这个夏天更换球队的最大球星?
Howard Beck:吉米·巴特勒将被交易。几个月来，竞争对手的高管们一直在谈论这件事，原因很明显。巴特勒即将年满35岁(带着很多艰苦的里程和很多伤病)，他与热火的合同还有一年，据报道他正在寻求一份两年1.13亿美元的续约合同。如果热火同意了，他们将没有多少余地来增加另一名球星。他们绝对需要一个（这样的球员）。
巴特勒让迈阿密在五个赛季里两次进入总决赛。但是一支由巴特勒和巴姆·阿德巴约组成的球队并不足以挑战东部的凯尔特人、雄鹿或76人。帕特·莱利以在高价球员掉下悬崖之前离开他们而闻名。在这个阶段，巴特勒作为具有竞争力球队的第二或第三选择比作为迈阿密的老大更有价值。现在感觉是时候转向了。
Michael Pina:看着克莱·汤普森穿着另一套球衣打球会很难过，但如果他不愿意接受主队以“打折”价续约的合同，想要在一个更好的位置上挑战自己，赢得季后赛系列赛，那么不可思议的事情很有可能成为现实。魔术、费城和(非常可怕的)雷霆都很高兴能得到一位史上最好的射手。假设价格合适，也就是说，一笔短期的、巨额的交易，汤普森的即插即用技术将会加强他们的进攻，自然地成为保罗·班切罗和弗朗茨·瓦格纳，乔尔·恩比德和泰利斯·马克西，或者谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大和切特·霍姆格伦的。空间就是一切;汤普森距离全联盟命中三分最多的人只有一年的时间了。）
我们可以看出，无论是Howard Beck，还是Michael Pina，都是根据一些信息在进行猜测，和球队接下来的具体动作毫无关系。
此外，之前莱利赛季总结发言时已经表示球队不会在今夏对巴特勒可能续约要求做决定（参见莱利赛季总结新闻发布会重点要点整理+解读分析），和巴特勒“辟谣自己希望加盟湖人”的消息（巴特勒澄清“暗示想去湖人”流言），都是比球队外的记者更为靠谱的消息。
有朋友会说莱利诡计多端，那么请回顾一下2021年，莱利在赛季总结发言时就表示球队会和巴特勒续约，后来也确实如此（一度还被嘲讽为会沦为一笔灾难性的签约）。
我知道，肯定会有人觉得我的这一行为很扫兴。没关系，我不会要求大家放弃YY，这是每个人拥有的权利；我只是做好自己份内的工作，在能力范围里，不断践行对热火官方的承诺：
