濃眉戴維斯聯手考辛斯

After a quiet, relatively tame All-Star Weekend, the NBA provided fireworks immediately after its showcase game in the form of a blockbuster trade.

當這個略顯平淡的全明星週末曲終人散的時候，NBA又給我們帶來了一道炫目的焰火表演。

DeMarcus Cousins, the mercurial, immensely–talented center, is headed to New Orleans, where he will team up with fellow Wildcat Anthony Davis in what is now the most offensively gifted five–four combination in the league.

德馬庫斯-考辛斯，一位令人捉摸不透而又才華橫溢的中鋒，加盟了新奧爾良鵜鶘隊，他將和肯塔基的師弟安東尼-戴維斯一起，組成聯盟中最具攻擊力的內線組合。

Cousins is headed to the Pelicans with only one more season left on his contract, while the Kings, who also dealt Omri Casspi, will receive Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and their 2017 first- and second-round picks, according to multiple media reports.

考辛斯連同他的隊友歐米-卡斯比將一起前往鵜鶘隊，其中前者的合同僅剩一年，同時國王隊將得到巴迪-希爾德，泰瑞克-埃文斯，蘭斯頓-加洛韋以及2017年的首輪籤和次輪籤。多家媒體覈實了這一交易。

Here's how each team did in the deal: It's simple, but talent wins in the NBA.

以下是關於本次交易中涉及的每一支球隊的評分情況：這個評分相當的簡單，擁有天賦的球隊笑到最後。

In Cousins, the Pelicans are acquiring a 26-year-old, in-his-prime big man who averages 28–10 while shooting nearly 36% from three.

對於鵜鶘而言，他們得到了考辛斯，一位年僅26歲，正值當打之年的大個子。他在本賽季場均可以得到28分10板，同時在三分線外的命中率也達到了36%。

If Cousins keeps up those current statistics, he'll be the only player in NBA history 6'10'' or taller to post such averages in his age-26 season.

如果考辛斯能夠維持目前的統計數據，那麼他將成爲NBA歷史上超過6尺10寸的大個子中，第一個在26歲還能得到如此數據的選手。

Cousins is an offensive force, and his game has steadily improved despite the surrounding clown show in Sacramento.

考辛斯是個進攻天才，雖然以前他周圍都是國王隊那樣滑稽的隊友，但是他還是取得了穩健的進步。

Of course, there are obvious caveats here. Cousins's attitude has been a huge issue in Sacramento.

當然，關於考辛斯的評價也並非都是溢美之詞。他的態度問題一直都是令國王隊非常頭疼。

He's clashed with coaches, teammates and referees to a ridiculous degree. His effort on defense has come and gone.

他總是和主教練、隊友以及裁判發生離奇的衝突。而且考辛斯在防守端的努力總是時有時無。

And it's fair to question how good Cousins truly is considering he could never carry his team to the postseason.

考慮到考辛斯一直都沒能將球隊帶進季後賽，就算人們對他產生各種質疑似乎也無可厚非。

On top of all that, Cousins contract expires in 2018, which could make him nothing more than a glorified rental if he doesn't re-sign with New Orleans—though the Pelicans have the option of trading him again next year.

最重要的是，考辛斯的合同將在2018年到期，所以如果到時候鵜鶘隊沒有與這位大個子完成續約，那麼此次交易或許也只是空歡喜一場。到了那時鵜鶘隊或許就只能考慮再將他擺上貨架了吧。

On the court, spacing could be tight in a Davis-Cousins frontcourt, but both have emerging outside games, and Alvin Gentry may now finally have the kind of pieces to prove the offensive genius he was hired for.

在賽場上，考辛斯和戴維斯的組合可能會遇到一些空間問題，但他們二人目前都已經開發出了外線技術。埃爾文-金特里這下終於找到了證明自己價值的機會。

As far as effort concerns, New Orleans isn't a shining example of an NBA franchise, but the change of scenery from the Kings to the Pelicans should still be jarring enough to promote more consistency in Cousins.

鵜鶘在下功夫管理球隊方面算不上是聯盟中的範例，因此在考辛斯更換門庭後，如何才能讓他打出更加穩定的表現將會是鵜鶘隊 頭疼的問題。

Ultimately, this is the kind of home run move teams need to make in the current NBA landscape.

最終，這樣的大交易纔是球隊在NBA現有境況下該做出來的。

Acquiring superstars during free agency will become increasingly difficult in the new CBA, and players like Cousins are rarely available on the trade market.

在新的勞資協議下，要想從自由球員市場中撈到大魚可就越來越難了，像考辛斯這樣的球員更是自由球員市場上的稀有物種。

The Pelicans are making the deal without giving up any notable players, and any smattering of draft picks seems appropriate for Cousins.

鵜鶘隊此次交易都沒有付出什麼重要的球員，而一些選秀權對於考辛斯的交易來說也是值得的。

Could Sacramento really have not done better? Only one first-round pick?

國王隊真的沒做過更好的交易？只有一個首輪籤？

No franchise players in return? No better offer was on the table ahead of Thursday's deadline?

沒有換來當家球星？在交易截止日前真的沒有更好的選擇了嗎？

This grade really isn't just about the trade, however. It's a grade for years of ineptitude.

然而，這個評級真的不僅僅是針對這樁交易而已。這也是對國王隊管理層多年來的不作爲所做出的評分。

It's a grade that reflects how the Kings more or less insulted their fans by running an amateur operation that wasted years of Cousins's promising career.

國王隊這種業餘的操作簡直是辜負了考辛斯大好的職業生涯，也像是對球迷們的一種侮辱。

It's a grade appropriate for owner Vivek Ranadive, whose new arena will now be just as empty as his old one.

同時也把這個評分送給國王隊的維維克-拉納戴夫，這回你的新球館估計也會像老球館那樣空空如也了吧。

This is a bad day for the Kings organization, and it could be a long time before it finds another player as talented as Cousins.

這對於國王隊真的是悲慘的一天，真不知還要多久他們才能再找到像考辛斯這樣極具天賦的球員了。

The 76ers have the option to swap first-round picks with the Kings in this summer's draft.

76人隊擁有拿他們今年的首輪籤跟國王隊互換的權利。

Philly will have a really good chance at landing the top pick, especially with Sacramento now expected to free fall in the standings.

經過這次交易後，考慮到國王隊的戰績可能會像自由落體般下滑，76人隊得到狀元籤的機率頓時大增。
