The league’s most influential official does not buy that argument. 近期的勇士王朝以及收集了天賦滿滿的球員對NBA是壞事？聯盟最具影響力的官員對那種說法並不買帳。 “I don’t think it’s necessarily per se bad that the Warriors are so dominant,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a press conference here on Tuesday. “I’m not trying to create some sort of forced parity. What we’re really focusing on is parity of opportunity.” 「我不認為勇士稱霸聯盟一定就是壞事，」NBA聯盟主席Silver在星期二的記者會上說到。「我不會試著去創造某種硬喬出的平衡，我們應該要專注的是機會上的平等。」 So even if Silver praised the Warriors once again for winning their third NBA title in the past four years, the NBA commissioner and the league’s owners addressed competitive balance during the Board of Governors meeting. 所以即使Silver再次稱讚勇士的四年三冠，在球團老闆會議上，主席及球團老闆們還是提到了競爭的平衡性上。 It might not be surprising considering what just happened this month during NBA’s free agency. LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Los Angeles Lakers, dramatically furthering the divided talent between the Western and Eastern Conference. With depressed interest in DeMarcus Cousins because of his left Achilles’ injury, the Warriors acquired the All-Star center using their taxpayer midlevel exception ($5.3 million), which gives them a starting lineup full of All-Stars. Silver had already entertained such questions about competitive balance when the Warriors and Cavaliers met in the NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year. 當看到這個月的FA市場發生了什麼，會有這樣的反應也就不意外了。LBJ離開騎士降臨湖人，讓東西兩聯盟的天賦差距更加明顯。Cousins因為阿基里斯腱傷沒有太多球隊有興趣，所以勇士可以用中產特例(530萬鎂)拿到一個全明星中鋒，讓勇士的先發可以是上一屆的全明星。當勇士跟騎士連續四年總冠對決的時候，Silver就已經用一種比較輕鬆的方式來回答有關競爭平衡性的問題。 “There’s a fair point to be made in a tax system when certain teams are spending significantly more than others, that’s not parity of opportunity,” Silver said. “Also, certain teams have advantages other teams don’t based on their resources and market and the wealth of the market. They may be in a position to go deeper into the tax than another team does.” 「在有奢侈稅的制度裡，當有些球隊比其他球隊願意花更多的錢然後說這是不公平的，這算是中肯的論點，」Siliver說。「所以，若是根據球團資源以及球隊所在的市場大小，某些隊伍會有優勢，有些隊伍則無。有些隊可能會繳更多的奢侈稅，但是其他隊不會。」 The Warriors are in that position. Though they were limited toward acquiring players on a taxpayer midlevel exception and veteran’s minimum deals, the Warriors have around a $142 million payroll because of their five All-Stars in Cousins, Stephen Curry ($37.4 million), Kevin Durant ($30 million), Klay Thompson (nearly $19 million) and Draymond Green ($17.5 million). The Warriors are nearly $19 million over the luxury tax, and, therefore, owe an additional $61.75 million in luxury tax penalties. 勇士就是繳稅的球隊。雖然他們只用中產特例跟老將底薪去找球員，勇士整體薪資還是高達1億4200萬鎂，就是因為他們的五星陣容--Cousins，Curry (3740萬)，KD(3000萬)，KT (接近1900萬)以及Green(1750萬)。勇士超過門檻1900萬，所以，他們得要繳6175萬鎂的奢侈稅。 Still, Silver lauded the Warriors and other teams willing to spend money so they can hoist a Larry O’Brien trophy. 不過，Silver還是讚許勇士跟其他球隊為了拿到總冠而願意花錢。 “Under the current system right now, we want teams to compete like crazy. The Warriors, within the framework of this deal, should be doing everything they can to increase their dominance,” Silver said. “That’s what you want to see. We want every team to compete in every way they can within the rules. If it makes sense to make adjustments to the rules next time, we’ll look into that.” 「在現在的系統制度下，我們希望球隊們努力去競爭。而在目前的狀況下，勇士應該做一切努力去增加他們的強度，」Silver說。「那是大家想看到的，我們希望球隊在按照規則的狀況下去競爭。若是大家認為有需要改變一些規則，我們會去研究一下。」 The NBA’s current collective bargaining agreement runs through the 2023-24 season, though both the league and players union could agree to opt out after the 2022-23 season. 目前NBA團體薪資協議要到2023-24球季才中止，不過聯盟跟球員雙方都可以在2022-23後就可以選擇跳出。 Though Silver said that “people weren’t coming in necessarily complaining” about the league’s competitive balance, he said they have had conversations about possible solutions. 雖然Silver說"並不是每個人都是來抱怨"有關聯盟競爭平衡性的事，他說他們是有談到一些可能的解決方案。 Silver did not reveal any “new ideas.” But he argued that “we have a very soft cap right now.” He again brought up travel concerns regarding a proposal to rank playoff seedings based off of record instead of conference affiliation. He expressed interest in meeting with the players union and labor relations committee to brainstorm initiatives. Silver沒有透露細節，但是他說"現在的薪資帽其實很軟"。他也再次提到有人建議季後賽應以季賽戰績的順位而不是分區的方式，但是會有旅程上的考量。他也表示希望可以跟球員工會以及勞工關係委員會碰面，看能不能腦力激盪出一些意見。 Nonetheless, Silver conceded an obvious reality: “dynasties are nothing new in this league.” The Boston Celtics won 10 NBA championships from 1959 to 1969. The Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers won eight of the league’s 10 NBA titles in the 1980’s. The Chicago Bulls won six NBA championships in the 1990 ’s. The Lakers won five more titles in the 2000’s. 然而，Silver承認一個明確的事實：「球隊王朝在聯盟不是什麼新的事件。」Boston在 1959-1969拿了10個冠軍；在1980年代，10年之內，Celtics跟Lakers共拿了八屆冠軍； 1990年代公牛拿了6個；然後2000年代Lakers又拿了五個。 “We recognized great players, superstar players will have a unique ability to make an impact on games,” Silver said. “Having said that, there are changes we can make to the system that I think can create more competitive balance and more quality of opportunity.” 「我們認為偉大的球員，全明星球員，都可以有獨特的能力去影響整個比賽，」Silver 說。「話說回來，我認為是可以有些做法可以改變這系統，讓整個聯盟可以更競爭平衡些。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.222.1.181 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/G-S-WARRIORS/M.1531287174.A.6D7.html
