自由市场的大门已经开启一个月有余，除了安东尼去哪没有着落，韦德、马努、克六等是否再战不得而知，大家关心的球星基本已签好如意的合同，让我们一起看一下关于休赛期最佳运作与最被低估的运作的讨论。

1. Which was the best move of the NBA offseason?
休赛期最佳转会是哪一笔？
Chris Herring, FiveThirtyEight:

I feel obligated to say LeBron James, given that he's the best player in the world. But if you're the Oklahoma City Thunder, you have to feel like it was locking in Paul George after making the enormous gamble to trade for him without knowing whether he'd stay in the small market.
我觉得有必要谈谈詹姆斯，因为他是世界上最好的球员。但，如果你是俄克拉荷马雷霆队，你就会认为留住保罗乔治是最佳运作，在无法确定乔治会留在小球市情况下，仍然为了他进行了一场豪赌。
On top of that, the Thunder got out from under the last year of Carmelo Anthony's deal (and all the luxury tax payments it would have triggered and managed to get a useful player out of it. They won't win a title because of these two things, but they came out of it all pretty well, all things considered.
除此之外，雷霆甩开了去年交易来卡梅罗安东尼的包袱（以及这笔交易可能触发的所有奢侈税），还设法从这笔交易中得到了一名有用的球员。他们不会因为上述两点就能争冠，但总的看来，他们运作的非常不错。

The best move was the most anticlimactic, the most predictable and the most obvious. Never mind that there has been a run on graffiti paint since LeBron took his talents to Redondo Beach. The Lakers got their man, the juice of a "big name" that pumps new life into the Lakers' hype machine and a chance to position themselves for a game-changing summer in 2019.
最好的运作应该是最虎头蛇尾的，最可预测的，最明显的。别在意那些涂鸦了自从勒布朗将他的天赋带到雷东多海岸。湖人得到了他们想要的人，给湖人这台天然炒作机注入新的“大人物”，并且他们有机会在2019年的夏天改变比赛。
In the meantime, LeBron will settle into his L.A. digs and sort through the — ahem — colorful cast of characters who have joined him. Anytime you sign the best player in the game, you win. Simple as that.
与此同时，勒布朗在洛杉矶落户，并组建起——呃哼——一套很有趣的，那些愿意跟随他的角色阵容。任何时候只要你签下了联盟里最好的球员，你就赢了。就这么简单。

Kevin Pelton, ESPN Insider:

I'm choosing to interpret this as a move with the highest degree of difficulty — or, in other words, not the Lakers signing LeBron James. In that case, I'm going with the Toronto Raptors dealing for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green.
我选择这笔交易作为具有高难度的运作——或者换句话说不像湖人签下詹姆斯（那样简单）。因此，我会把这票投给猛龙交易来伦纳德和丹尼·格林。
Although adding Leonard is a high-risk move because of his injury and impending free agency, the Raptors gave up so little in addition to DeMar DeRozan (center Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round pick) that even if Leonard leaves after this season, the trade can still be a positive move for them.
介于伦纳德的伤病及他即将成为自由球员，交易得到伦纳德是一个高风险的运作；但是，猛龙除了德罗赞以外损失的很少（中锋雅各布-珀尔特尔和一个受保护2019年的首轮签），因此，即便伦纳德在这个赛季之后选择离开，这笔交易对猛龙来讲仍然是一个好的运作。

2.Which was the most underrated move (or set of moves)?
休赛期最被低估的运作是哪一笔？
MacMullan：

I'm a fan of what the Denver Nuggets did, starting with drafting Michael Porter Jr., who remains arguably the most talented player in the draft. They re-signed Nikola Jokic (10 triple-doubles in 2017-18, trailing only that of Russell Westbrook, LeBron and Ben Simmons) and sneaky good Will Barton.
我十分欣赏丹佛掘金的运作，首先是签下小迈克尔-波特，有可能是这届选秀中最有天赋的一个。接着续约了尼古拉-约基奇（17-18赛季10次三双，仅次于威少，詹姆斯和本西蒙斯）和很有灵性的威尔巴顿。
They also paid a pittance to bet on Isaiah Thomas, who can score in bunches and force the issue in transition in the right environment. That chip on IT's shoulder has been upgraded to a full-fledged boulder, and he's at his best when people are counting him out. The main objective here is to make sure he doesn't muck up the continued development of 21-year-old Jamal Murray, a young, emotional player who has a chance to become a cornerstone.
他们还付出了微薄的薪水下注在伊塞亚托马斯身上，在合适他的体系中，他可以在攻防转换中得很高的分并解决问题。小托马斯的怨恨情绪已经转化为成熟，当人们看低他的时候，他就达到了属于他的最佳状态。掘金的主要目标就是确保他不会阻碍21岁的贾马尔穆雷的持续发展，穆雷是一名年轻而富有激情的，将来可能成为基石的球员。
Kevin Arnovitz, ESPN.com:

There wasn't any ingenious front-office witchcraft this offseason outside of the collective restraint across the league, but perhaps the New Orleans Pelicans. They resisted the temptation to pay big money to DeMarcus Cousins, then filled out their roster with a couple of affordable players — one pretty good (Julius Randle), the other serviceable with, at least theoretically, some remaining upside (Elfrid Payton).
在联盟的集体约束下，这个休赛期并没有什么非常巧妙的运作，若真要说一个可能是新奥尔良鹈鹕吧。他们抵制住了给德马库斯考辛斯开出大合同的诱惑，签了一些负担得起的球员来填满他们的名单——一个相当好的（朱利叶斯兰德尔），另一个，至少从理论上讲的潜力股（埃尔弗里德-佩顿）。

I actually really liked the Pacers' summer. In perfect Indiana fashion, the club didn't do anything all that flashy. Tyreke Evans was likely a wanted man around the league, and I'm sure a handful of teams could have found nice fits for Doug McDermott and Kyle O'Quinn. But they all filled needs for this club, which was pretty damn good last season and didn't lose anything of value this summer. If a handful of things break right, the Pacers could make some real noise in the Eastern Conference playoffs next year.
我非常喜欢步行者这个夏天的运作。按照完美的印第安纳风格，球队没有做任何花哨的事情。泰瑞克埃文斯是联盟里其他球队都想得到的一员，我相信一些球队都可以为道格-麦克德莫特和凯尔-奥奎因提供合适的位置。但是他们都填补了步行者的需求，一个上个赛季已经足够优秀并且在这个夏天没有任何有价值的球员离队的球队。正常情况下，步行者可以在明年东部季后赛中制造一些麻烦。
