　　湖人本想签回阿莱克斯-卡鲁索但价格太高
　　The Los Angeles Lakers not re-signing Alex Caruso had some controversy among the NBA world.
　　洛杉矶湖人队没有重新签下阿莱克斯-卡鲁索，这在NBA世界中引起了一些争论。
　　Caruso had worked up from being undrafted to a key piece in closing lineups alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis because of his defensive prowess against guards and spot-up shooting ability.
　　因为卡鲁索对后卫的防守能力和定点投篮能力，让他从从落选新秀到成为与勒布朗-詹姆斯和安东尼-戴维斯并肩作战的关键人物。
　　The 27-year-old guard entered the market as an unrestricted free agent, and among the 10-plus free agents L.A. had to make a decision on, retaining Caruso was regarded as a priority.
　　这位27岁的后卫作为非限制性自由球员进入市场，在洛杉矶必须做出决定的10多名自由球员中，保留卡鲁索被认为是一个优先事项。
　　However, within the early stages of free agency, Caruso signed a four-year deal worth $37 million with the Chicago Bulls.
　　然而，在自由球员的早期阶段，卡鲁索与芝加哥公牛队签订了一份为期四年、价值3700万美元的合同。
　　Shortly after the signing was reported, another report from Sam Amick of The Athletic said the Lakers denied Caruso and his camp a counter offer.
　　在签约报道后不久，来自The Athletic的Sam Amick的另一份报告称，湖人队拒绝了卡鲁索和他的阵营的反报价。
　　In a new report, Amick clarified more details of the negotiation between the two sides:
　　在一份新的报道中，阿米克澄清了双方之间谈判的更多细节。
　　＂In the wake of my report about the Lakers not countering Alex Caruso’s four-year, $37 million offer from Chicago in free agency, a source with knowledge of the negotiations strongly refuted the inference that he wasn’t wanted back. That doesn’t change the fact that Caruso’s side claimed to be confused about the communication element of the negotiation, but it seems the Lakers’ calculus was similar to the one Milwaukee faced with P.J. Tucker.
　　＂在我报道了湖人没有反驳亚历克斯-卡鲁索在自由市场上从芝加哥提供的4年3700万美元的报价后，一位了解谈判的消息人士强烈反驳了他不被召回的推论。这并没有改变卡鲁索方面声称对谈判中的沟通因素感到困惑的事实，但似乎湖人队的计算方法与密尔沃基在P.J.塔克身上面临的计算方法相似。
　　In both situations, there was a price point that both franchises were willing to go to based on the exorbitant luxury-tax hit that would come their way. And in the end, after initial interest, they simply decided to part ways when the price went too high (in Tucker’s case, he headed to Miami on a two-year, $15 million deal).
　　＂在这两种情况下，都有一个价格点，两个特许经营机构都愿意根据高昂的奢侈税来进行。最后，在最初的兴趣之后，当价格太高时，他们决定分道扬镳（塔克的情况，他以两年1500万美元的合同前往迈阿密）。
　　The Lakers were strapped for cash during free agency, with only the $5.9 million taxpayer MLE to offer, but it was a head-scratcher for many to let someone of Caruso’s caliber walk at a fair price for his production.
　　在自由市场期间，湖人队资金紧张，只有590万美元的中产可以提供，但让卡鲁索这样的人以公平的价格离开，对很多人来说都是一个令人头疼的问题。
　　Instead, the Lakers re-signed Talen Horton-Tucker on a three-year deal while inking Kendrick Nunn for the MLE and Malik Monk for the veteran minimum to beef up the offensive prowess of their guards, a different look from Caruso’s strengths,
　　相反，湖人队用一份三年的合同重新签下了塔伦-霍顿-塔克，同时用最低工资签下了肯德里克-纳恩和马利克-蒙克，以加强他们后卫的进攻能力，这与卡鲁索的优势不同。
　　In this instance, only time will tell if the Lakers made the right choice on letting Caruso leave and sacrificing his defensive expertise, which played a crucial role in L.A. having the No. 1 ranked defense last season.
　　在这种情况下，只有时间能证明湖人在让卡鲁索离开和牺牲他的防守专长方面是否做出了正确的选择，这对洛杉矶上赛季拥有排名第一的防守起到了关键作用。
