大表妹考辛斯 敢問路在何方?

When it's All said and done, DeMarcus Cousins will be a footnote in Golden State's dynasty. He might play 50 games in a Warriors uniform, likely less. Golden State coach Steve Kerr said recently that he is happy with Cousins's rehabilitation from his torn Achilles, though not to the point that the coach is comfortable putting a timeline on a return. Boogie himself, however, does have a timetable: one year with the Warriors, and he's gone.

當一切都塵埃落定，德馬庫斯-考辛斯將成爲成爲勇士王朝的一頁注角，身披勇士戰袍的考辛斯預計會出戰50場比賽，當然可能會更少。今日金州主教練史蒂夫-科爾在接受採訪時表示，看到考辛斯從破碎的阿喀琉斯之踵中逐漸康復，他很開心。儘管教練並不能爲他的迴歸時間設限，但對考辛斯本人而言，確實存在一個計劃：爲勇士征戰一年，然後離開。

It's a matter of not having enough salary cap space to go around. Klay Thompson will become an unrestricted free agent next summer, and is expected to re-sign with the Warriors. Draymond Green, whose contract runs out in 2020, will also be eligible for an extension then;

沒有足夠的薪資操作空間是勇士面臨的問題，克萊-湯普森將在明年夏天成爲不受限制的自由球員，並有望與勇士續下長約。追夢格林的合同在2020年到期，也有資格續約。

If he makes an All-NBA team or wins Defensive Player of the Year this season, Green will be eligible for the designated veteran extension—a.k.a., the supermax. There's much for the Warriors to consider monetarily, and Cousins is the last thing on the front office's mind.

如果他這賽季能進入NBA最佳陣容或是最佳防守球員，格林將成爲“夠資格的老兵自由球員”，換句話說，可以籤頂薪。勇士需要考慮的薪資問題很多，考辛斯的合同是勇士管理層最後要考慮的事。

Because the franchise signed Cousins for only one year, the Warriors don't have his full Bird rights, meaning they can't go over the cap to re-sign him.

因爲這份中產特例只有一年，勇士隊沒有他全部的伯德權，這就意味着勇士無法越過工資帽去續約考辛斯。

But the Warriors could've used a player like Cousins in past postseasons. Against the Cavaliers in the 2016 Finals, they couldn't counter their opponent's size in the frontcourt (this was before Kevin Durant came along), and last season, they almost fell in the Western Conference finals after a horrific shooting performance against a Rockets team that went small.

勇士在過去幾個賽季本可以用考辛斯這樣的球員，2016年總決賽對陣騎士時，他們的五小在前場沒有足夠能力對抗對手的內線球員（在凱文-杜蘭特到來之前），上賽季西決對陣投射能力恐怖但同樣也是小陣容的火箭也差點落敗。

Last season, Cousins played well against Houston, including the game during which he tore his Achilles; in two matchups, he averaged 19.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, and 9.5 assists. The Warriors can go small better than anyone, but it might be just as advantageous this season to have a big-man counterattack.

上賽季，考辛斯對陣休斯頓的表現都非常好，包括受傷的那場比賽，兩場比賽他場均19.5分，13.5個籃板和9次助攻，勇士的五小無人能及，本賽季更是如虎添翼。

Cousins's worst-case scenario is that his recovery gets delayed, or he doesn't return to full strength. The Warriors don't need him in the playoffs to win; Cousins's passing and scoring would be another wrinkle to throw at teams, but they've won three championships in four years without the big man.

對於考辛斯來說最壞的情形就是康復的延遲，或是無法恢復全力。勇士隊不需要他就可以打贏季後賽，考辛斯的傳球和得分能力的確是一個威脅，但勇士四年三冠的時候沒有這個大個子。

If the experiment never pans out, and Boogie spends the postseason on the bench or barely coming off of it, he may be labeled a risky signing once again.

如果球隊化學反應不如預期，表妹在板凳上度過這個賽季或是又早早傷退，他可能會被再次貼上易碎的標籤。

Cousins hasn't spoken with Dell Demps, general manager of the New Orleans Pelicans, since he accepted the Warriors' offer, according to The Undefeated, leaving an unresolved rift between him and the front office. A Cousins whose combination of size and strength and skill allowed him to be such a dynamic offensive player—and also one who didn't play defense, and had past issues getting along with front-office executives.

據《The Undefeated》報道，自從考辛斯接到用手對的報價以來就沒有和新奧爾良鵜鶘總經理戴爾-丹普斯談過話，他和鵜鶘管理層還留着一條懸而未決的分歧，考辛斯的身材，力量和技巧註定了他是一名靈活的進攻型球員，當然他也不主打防守，還與管理層或多或少有遺留問題。

Multiple franchises will have money to spend this summer, and Cousins is fortunate to be coming available at a time when not many max-worthy players are hitting the market. But there's no guarantee that an opportunity for a big payday means he'll be offered one, regardless of how this season pans out.

今年夏天多數球隊都有錢可花，考辛斯很幸運與他競爭自由市場的大牌球星不多，但這並不能保證他會得到一個大合同，無論賽季如何進行。
