杜蘭特表示2016年5月就想加盟勇士，無論勇士奪冠與否他都會去？

Kevin Durant reveals when he knew he was signing with Warriors, business partner says that"s "hardly factual』

杜蘭特揭露他是什麼時候知道自己要和勇士簽約的（2016年五月份，即剛輸給勇士之後），而他的商業合作夥伴（也是他的經紀人，Rich Kleiman）隨後表示這「不太是真事」。

"Remember 2017, you just lost to the Warriors -- no 2016, you had just lost the Warriors, May -- you and I get together after the game. I thought I was just gonna focus on not talking about basketball, and you wanted to focus on talking about Silicon Valley -- asking me how it was out here.

近日在舊金山舉行的球員科技峰會上，伊戈達拉的商業合作夥伴Rudy-Cline Thomas現場與杜蘭特進行了問答互動，他先是說：「2017年你剛輸給勇士的時候，哦不，是2016年，2016年五月份你剛輸給勇士，然後咱倆賽後就在一塊聚了聚。我那時候本來以為我就別聊籃球就好，結果你想專註於聊關於矽谷的話題，你問我矽谷那塊兒咋樣。」

"You had been following what Andre and I were doing, how it was being surrounded by all these CEOs, innovators and entrepreneurs. And I was like, "Wow. First and foremost, like yo -- this dude just told me he"s about to sign with the Warriors, right (laughter). So, I was like I"m not gonna tell anybody, didn"t tell anybody whatsoever, didn"t want any rumors to get started..."

然後Thomas接著說：「你一直都有關注我和伊戈達拉的動態，以及被那些CEO、創新家和企業家包圍的感覺。然後我就驚了，我當時的心理活動是："我去，首先，這老哥（杜蘭特）是在告訴我他要加盟勇士啊，沒錯吧！"（Thomas笑了笑）然後，我就心想，我可不能告訴別人，我可不想讓流言四起。

Innnnnnteresting.

Cline-Thomas then asked Durant when he started thinking differently about his business opportunities.

有丶意思哦！

Thomas接下來問杜蘭特，他是什麼時候開始對自己的商業機會產生不同的想法的？

"Probably about 2015, I had got hurt. Basketball had always been my world ... it stopped, and I had to think about other parts of my life and what I was interested in ... it was rough because I didn"t know what I wanted to do or what I liked or what type of person I wanted to be ... I started to hear about Andre and more guys around the NBA -- especially that play for the Warriors -- that took advantage of the opportunities of being in the Bay Area.

杜蘭特回應：「大概是2015年左右吧，那會兒我剛受傷。在那以前，籃球一直都是我世界的全部……它突然停下來了，我就得想想我生活中其他部分的事，以及我感興趣的東西……挺難的，因為那時我不知道自己想做什麼，不知道自己喜歡什麼，也不知道自己想成為什麼樣的人……然後我聽說了關於伊戈達拉和其他球員的事……尤其是勇士的球員。他們抓住了生活在灣區的機會。」

"So throughout that whole year, me and Rich were talking about investing in companies and what I like to do outside of ball. Then I (saw) you and just all those questions came out at once and I was basically telling you I was coming to the Warriors (laughter)."

「所以那一整年，我和我經紀人Rich都在討論投資各種公司的事，以及我在籃球之外想做什麼。後來（被勇士淘汰的賽後）我就見到了你，我所有那些疑惑就一涌而上了，然後我基本上就是在告訴你我要加盟勇士啦。」（杜蘭特笑了笑）

About 20 minutes later, Cline-Thomas asked Kleiman what he has learned from Kevin Duran over the years:

"Well I just learned that he told you in May, before free agency -- which is hardly factual, which we"ll have to clear up with Marc Spears and everybody here (laughter) -- no way did that happen, but cool... (laughter)."

大概20分鐘後，Thomas又問Kleiman（杜蘭特經紀人），他這些年從杜蘭特身上學到了什麼

Kleiman表示：「杜蘭特在五月份自由市場開啟前就告訴你自己要去勇士這事不太是真的哈，這就是我學到的東西。一會兒我們要跟Marc Spears和這裡在場的各位澄清下哈哈，絕對沒有這事啊。不過好吧好吧哈哈。」

It"s funny that Kleiman mentioned Spears (who works for The Undefeated), because in late June 2016, one of Durant"s longtime friends told Spears: "His decision is 90 percent made. It would take an amazing sales pitch to change it."

Kleiman提到Marc Spears（目前任職於The Undefeated）還是挺有意思的，因為在2016年6月末，一位杜蘭特長年的好友告訴Spears說「杜蘭特的決定做好百分之九十了。想要改變他的主意，那其他球隊可得上演一番讓人無法拒絕的推銷。」

The assumption was that Durant was 90 percent sure he was going to re-sign with the the Thunder.

可當時他的意思是說，杜蘭特百分之九十確定自己會與雷霆續約。

I"m starting to think this Durant guy isn"t very reliable

我開始懷疑這個叫杜蘭特的人消息不太可靠啊。

Is it time to downgrade KD from tier 1 of KD news reliability?

是時候將杜蘭特放出的有關杜蘭特消息的可靠性評級從最高檔降下去咯？

KD wouldnt hold out well in court.

杜蘭特這……在法庭上估計撐不過兩回合。

Keep digging yourself deeper KD.

KD再挖深點，別停，就快把自己埋了。

[–]76ersNoCampaign7 95 指標 13小時前

This is what I』ve been saying. Whether the Warriors won or not likely has nothing to do with whether KD would have gone there.

76人球迷：這消息印證了我曾經說的，無論勇士那年拿下冠軍與否，KD都會加盟。

[–]MagicByrie_Swirving 127 指標 12小時前

Yep it』s hilarious that people on here believed KD when he said that he wouldn』t have gone if they won.

Like you』ll join the team who broke the wins record and came up 5 points short of back to back titles. But had they won it would be too soft for you? Lmao.

話題區竟然還有人相信杜蘭特說的什麼勇士奪冠了他就不會加盟，搞笑呢。

他已經加盟了一個打破歷史勝場、離兩連冠也就差個5分的球隊，那這支球隊最後到底拿沒拿下當年冠軍要緊嘛？難道拿了冠軍再加盟那才是軟弱？笑死我了。

Bro KD loves just making shit up as he goes, it"s wild. He"s acts like a 12 year old, but then defends everything he does as if he"s this wise old man looking back on prior experience to justify his outlook.

勇士球迷：我去，杜蘭特就是想到哪編到哪……太不可思議了。他的行為就像12歲小孩一樣，但是他總喜歡如成睿智的長者般，通過回顧過往經歷來為自己的觀點辯護，捍衛自己所做的一切。

Like when he hit the dagger 3 in Game 3 of this year"s finals he was asked why he just mean mugged stone faced instead of whooping it up. He said something along the lines of "I"m older now so I don"t get emotional when I score a big basket." Like what is that? Of course he"ll demonstrably celebrate a big basket at some point this coming season.

就像被問到他在今年總決G3命中那個致命3分後，為啥板著張臉而不是去慶祝時。他說了一些類似這樣的話：「我現在歲數大了，所以我不會在命中關鍵投籃後特別興高采烈了。」這說的是啥啊？在新賽季的某個時刻杜蘭特當然會為了某個關鍵球慶祝一番啊！

It"s like he can only think in absolutes when trying to understand himself. The great Zach Lowe piece awhile back asked the question, "What Does KD want?" Lowe is too nice to say this but he danced around the concept that KD himself really has no idea what he wants. He seems like a nice guy, and an incredible basketball player, but has the emotional maturity of like a 9 year old.

當KD嘗試著想要了解自己時，他的想法通常都過於絕對極端了。不久之前偉大的Zach Lowe撰寫了一篇文章，問「KD到底想要什麼？」Zach Lowe人很好，沒有把話說白，其實這句話的潛台詞就是KD自己也不知道他到底想要什麼。杜蘭特看起來是個帶善人，同時他也是名超強的籃球運動員，但他的心智就像一個9歲的孩子。

You summed it up pretty good. Like, it』s popular to think 「KD IS SENSITIVE」 but I didn』t think that was quite right. I couldn』t put my finger on it, but I think it』s what you said - 「he can only think in absolutes.」

樓上總結的賊棒，現在主流看法都是認為KD很敏感，但是我認為這並不是很正確。我無法自己找到KD的癥結所在，但是我認為老哥你說得挺對，「KD看待事物過於絕對/極端。」

He is very black and white about himself - OH BUT WHEN I CLAP BACK ON PEOPLE I』M THE ONE THAT』S FUCKED UP?! It』s like, dude it』s ok to defuse situations with a laugh lol. He doesn』t have to respond to criticism, it』s fully ok to live your best life and not go to extreme lengths to protect himself from hate.

他認為自己的一切都是非黑即白的—「哦怎麼？我回擊，我就成了操蛋的那個？！」其實吧，很多時候KD都可以置之一笑來化解局面。他沒有必要去回應那些抨擊，KD可以過上最美好的生活，而不是竭盡全力保護自己免受仇恨。

Durant thinking about the Warriors while playing them will forever rub me the wrong way

杜蘭特和勇士對決時就想著加入他們，這會讓我永遠都無法釋懷

[–]CavaliersThethirdtoken 191 指標 10小時前

Especially if you watched that shit live. I"ll never forget what seemed like constant turn overs by him, to give leads away. I fully blamed Durant for throwing that series away, and then he joined them. He is no longer a great to me.

騎士球迷：如果你看了那輪系列賽的直播就更無法釋懷了，我永遠忘記不了KD的連續失誤，將優勢拱手相讓。我覺得雷霆將勝利拱手相讓完全就是KD的鍋，然而KD輸完就就加入了他們，對我而言他再也配不上偉大二字了。

[–]LakersWe_Are_Grooot 95 指標 10小時前

Well he"s still a great player, but he can"t ever be in the conversation for top 10 all time in my eyes unless he wins a redemption ring somewhere else. Even then it"s unlikely.

湖人球迷：這個嘛，他仍然是一名極其出色的球員，但是在我看來他永遠不配在歷史前十的討論中出現，除非他之後在別的球隊能拿下一枚自我救贖的冠軍戒指。但即便如此，也不太可能。

[–]ThunderHdhsbdodksb 645 指標 12小時前

I don』t think enough is made of how much Durant had lied about the entire signing process.

Last year he said he didn』t watch the 2016 Finals, but 2 years ago he said he was watching with his agent telling him to get KD to the Warriors.

He said it was 100% false that Draymond called him after game 7 despite explicit confirmation from Draymond.

雷霆球迷：杜蘭特關於整個簽約過程撒了太多的謊，我覺得好多人沒有意識到這點。

去年，杜蘭特說自己根本沒有看2016年總決賽，可是在兩年前，杜蘭特明明親口說自己跟經紀人一塊看的總決賽，還告訴經紀人把自己帶到勇士去。

杜蘭特還說過格林在16總決G7賽後給他打電話的消息100%不屬實呢，然而格林那邊早就明確承認了。

[–]Biglytuff 357 指標 10小時前

Love that Draymond straight called him a liar afterwards.

格林在那之後直接叫KD騙子，給個贊。

[–][LAL] Dennis RodmanCheckMyMoves 285 指標 10小時前

It makes sense he"d call him out in a way. KD saying it didn"t happen would mean he"s saying Draymond"s a liar and Draymond seems particularly honest about everything except his dick pic initially.

湖人球迷：格林拆杜蘭特的台其實也是說得通的。KD說格林沒給他打過電話等於意味著格林在說謊。然而格林顯然是一個在方方面面都很誠實的人，除了關於他28照片的解釋。
