Luxury tax-paying teams such as the Clippers and the Golden State Warriors face additional penalties beyond just increasing tax bills if they go into the second apron. Being that deep into the tax can cost teams access to the $5 million taxpayer midlevel exception, the ability to aggregate salaries in trades and even potentially freeze first-round picks seven years out and move a first-round pick to the end of the first round. 快艇感觉他们是第一批被迫得应付新的CBA第二层硬上限的球队之一。如快艇与勇士的豪华 税球队去年面临更多除了豪华税以外的惩罚。他们不能使用5M的付税中产、失去凑薪资的 能力以及更可能要面对7年後的首轮被冻结还被强制排至最後一顺位的惩罚。 (给那些觉得是付钱就能解决的人看的lol) The Suns blazed past the second apron, becoming the first $400 million team in salaries and projected tax, but they have a star in his prime in Devin Booker. With three aging stars, Ballmer had to come to grips with the fact he couldn't build around or beyond the trio because of the second apron. 太阳依然冲破了第二层硬上限，成为了NBA史上第一之400M球队(包含豪华税)，但他们的球 星Devin Booker还在颠峰。Ballmer必须接受因为第二层硬上限带着三名高龄球星的快艇不 再能围绕这三巨头建队的事实。 ... 反正就是PG之前的东西 PG要NTC或4年顶薪 快艇只愿意给3年普通合约 ... "We wanted Paul back," Ballmer said. "We made him a big offer. We really wanted him here. We just wanted to not put ourselves in a position where we can't consistently be good. We offered them the max for three years and Philly offered them the max for four years. OK, I get it. But in terms of our trajectory and staying really good, it was really going to be an issue for us. "The truth is, with Paul not coming back, we were able to upgrade our team. We don't [sign] Derrick Jones Jr. if Paul comes back. We don't [sign] Kris Dunn, [or have] our new defensive identity. Might not have [signed] Kevin Porter Jr., Nico [Batum]. ... You could say, well, they're not Paul George. No, they're not Paul George." Ballmer:「我们想要Paul回来(PG)。我们给了高额的合约。我们真的希望他在这里。但我 们不想让自己落到没办法一直保持是支好球队的下场。我们给了他3年顶薪而费城给了他4 年。OK，我能理解。但就我们的发展路径和持续保持高水准而言，这确实会成为我们的一 个问题。 事实是，Paul确定不回来後，我们还是找到方法升级了我们的球队。如果Paul回来我们将 不能签Derrick Jones Jr.;我们不能签Kris Dunn来建立我们的防守身分。我们不能签 Kevin Porter Jr.(这个好像不影响就是),Nico Batum...但是即使如此你还是可以说他们 不是Paul George。不，他们的确不是Paul George。」 ... ... The Clippers felt that if they had kept all three stars, the CBA would've put a stranglehold on their ability to add players who could do some of the necessary lifting around the trio, especially as Leonard and George aged. Being a second apron team could also cost the Clippers a first-round pick, something they need for any potential trade for a star in the future. 快艇认为如果他们留下全部3个球星，CBA将会严重限制他们可以取得任何可以帮助这三巨 头升级的球员，尤其是在Leonard与George都变老的情况下。快艇继续维持在第二层硬上限 以上的话会让快艇在失去一个首轮，而他们需要这个才可能在未来再交易来一个球星。 "Once your pick becomes frozen, [and] if you're in the second apron for multiple years, you're really f---ed," Lawrence Frank, president of basketball operations, told ESPN. "You're in a situation where you never have cap space and you never have your midlevel exception and you're just strictly dealing with minimums and trades. Our goal is we want to be a sustainable contender." Lawrence Frank说:「如果你在第二层硬上限以上而让你的选秀权被冻结，那是真的糟透了 。你将会落入你永远不会有薪资空间也不会有中产特例的情况，你将只能签底薪与做限制 重重的交易。我们的目标是要当一只永续的强队。」 The Warriors and Clippers engaged in talks about a potential George opt-in for the final year of his contract worth $48.7 million and then a trade. The Clippers were willing to make a deal with their division rival, according to sources, but were looking for something of value to help restock their asset cupboard if they were going to take back an undesirable contract and be in the second apron. 勇士与快艇曾经谈过George执行48.7M选择权後交易的可能性。快艇其实愿意将PG交易给他 们的同区劲敌，但快艇想要取得一些东西来帮助他们重新补充他们的资产因为交易後他们 将会拿回他们不想要的合约而依然在第二层硬上限以上。 (与金块的交易讨论也是一样的情形) Swapping George for Andrew Wiggins, who has three years and $85 million left on a four-year, $109 million deal, plus other salaries to make the math work, would have been acceptable only if the Clippers received a young player such as Jonathan Kuminga or Brandin Podziemski and a pick or two. 用George换来4年109M合约还有三年85M的Andrew Wiggins，加上一些其他薪水来平衡交易 ，快艇会接受这个方案，但前提是能得到像Jonathan Kuminga或Brandin Podziemski这样 的年轻球员以及一两个选秀权。 Draymond Green said on his "Draymond Green Show" podcast earlier this summer that George wanted to join the Warriors and that he was surprised the Clippers would not at least take something back instead of letting George walk for nothing. Draymond Green在他的个人Podcast上曾经说过George想要加入勇士但他很惊讶快艇宁可让 PG变成空气也不要多少回收一些东西回来。 But league sources say Kuminga's name never seriously came up in talks of any significance and the Clippers felt they weren't getting enough positive assets to move forward in this new second apron world. 然而Kuminga从未被勇士放在任何讨论之中且快艇也不认为他们能拿回足够的正资产来让他 们愿意接受新赛季得继续维持在新的第二层硬上限以上。 "Nothing," a league source told ESPN, "is better than something." 一名联盟内线告诉ESPN:"这情况下空气比拿回一点东西好。" ... 心得: 反正就是 因为第二层硬上限的缘故 变成空气都比收勇士(或是金块)的包裹好 --
