When four-time MVP LeBron James agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million extension
in August, the Los Angeles Lakers made a promise to supply him with the necess
ary pieces to compete for a championship throughout the duration of his tenure
.

今年8月，當四屆MVP得主勒布朗-詹姆斯同意以2年9710萬美元的合同續約時，湖人承諾過
在他的合同期內為他提供爭奪總冠軍所必需的陣容配備。


At the start of training camp, Lakers president of basketball operations Rob P
elinka said he’s responsible for being the "caretaker of LeBron’s legacy."

在訓練營開始時，湖人籃球運營總裁羅勃-佩林卡說他有責任成為「勒布朗成就的守護者
”。

Almost a month into the 2022-23 NBA season, the current roster falls well shor
t of "caretaker" status, and the Lakers' avenues to improvement are bleak.

After dropping a fourth consecutive contest and plunging to 2-9 on the season
following a 114-101 loss to the Clippers (7-5) on Wednesday night, the Lakers'
 11-game sample size is revealing enough to warrant drastic changes.



The organization is facing a critical decision in the James era, a decision th
at could prompt key players to sour on the direction of the franchise, league
sources tell Bleacher Report. But there is still time for the Lakers to be act
ive on the trade market as they prepare for a four-game homestand.



The question often discussed in Lakers’ headquarters nowadays is whether they
 should go all-in expeditiously on revamping the roster around James and Antho
ny Davis, or are they better served to postpone wholesale changes until the en
d of the season?

現在湖人總部經常討論的問題是，他們是否應該圍繞詹姆斯和安東尼-戴維斯迅速進行陣
容調整，還是把大規模的陣容調整推遲到賽季結束更好？

Lacking young, enticing assets and draft capital to strengthen the roster, the
 Lakers are only armed with two first-round picks in 2027 and 2029, respective
ly.

James, who turns 38 next month and is in Year 20 of his NBA career, does not w
ant to waste a season of his high-level playing days in hopes of incoming rein
forcements for the 2023-24 campaign, sources say. Other core players on the ro
ster would likewise prefer those picks to be used to elevate this year’s team
.

缺少年輕的誘人資產和選秀權資本來加強陣容，湖人分別擁有2027年和2029年兩個可交易
的首輪選秀權。



That’s the burdensome decision Pelinka now faces.

With the team’s trajectory trending south, sources indicate the front office
is unlikely to attach those picks to a potential trade out of concern that suc
h a transaction would not significantly change the course of the season.

這就是佩林卡現在面臨的艱難決定。

 隨著球隊的糟糕趨勢，消息人士指出管理層不太可能將這些選秀權附加到潛在的交易中
，因為他們擔心這樣的交易不會顯著改變賽季的進程。

It is not universally believed internally that a trade for Indiana Pacers cent
er Myles Turner and sharpshooter Buddy Hield would move the needle to title co
ntention, sources say.

If that concern proved to be accurate, the Lakers would be devoid of lucrative
 resources for the remainder of James’ contract, which runs through 2024-25.

消息人士透露，湖人內部並不普遍認為，交易步行者中鋒邁爾斯-特納和射手巴迪-希爾德
會讓球隊足以爭奪總冠軍。

如果這種擔憂被證明是正確的，湖人將失去詹姆斯剩餘合同的利潤來源，詹姆斯的合同將
持續到2024-25賽季。

溜馬那包還不夠嗎？那還有誰能來拯救湖人。
