Pistons owner Gores has said luxury tax won't be an issue

活塞老板：交奢侈税不是问题

摘要：

There’s another guy on the Detroit Pistons roster eligible for a contract extension before the Oct. 31 deadline for players entering the final year of rookie deals.

虎扑体育8月16日讯 活塞队有另外一名球员进入新秀合同的最后一年，他有资格在当地时间12月31日前获得续约合同。

The focus has been on starting shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, but swingman Reggie Bullock, a fellow member of the 2013 NBA Draft class, is also eligible. He was drafted 25th by the Clippers.

尽管焦点都集中在首发得分后卫KCP的续约问题上，但是侧翼球员雷吉-布洛克也有同样的资格，布洛克是2013年首轮25顺位被快船队选中的球员，和KPC同一级。

No talks have begun, but Pistons president/coach Stan Van Gundy told the Free Press last week an extension is possible for Bullock, who was acquired in July 2015.

活塞队和雷吉-布洛克的续约谈判还没有开始，但是活塞主教练兼总裁斯坦-范甘迪上周告诉Free Press球队很有可能和布洛克续约。活塞队是在2015年七月得到布洛克的。

Bullock was an afterthought in the deal that brought in Marcus Morris, but he played himself onto the Pistons roster with a strong preseason.

布洛克是活塞队交易马库斯-莫里斯得到的添头，但是他通过自己季前赛强势的表现进入活塞队的轮换阵容。

He played little before the NBA All-Star break, but took advantage of the opportunity when rookie Stanley Johnson missed seven games with a shoulder injury.

布洛克在全明星周末前上场时间很少，但是由于新秀斯坦利-约翰逊因为肩伤缺阵七场比赛，布洛克得到了上场机会，并且表现出色。

Bullock, 25, shot nearly 50% from three-point range over the season’s final three months.

布洛克现年25岁，上个赛季最后三个月他的三分球命中率接近50%。

It will be interesting to see how the Pistons handle the situation. The team is already projected to be over the cap for the 2017-18 season, and a Caldwell-Pope extension would almost assuredly put the Pistons into luxury tax territory.

观察活塞队如何处理这种情况会很有趣，球队工资总额预计在2017-2018赛季会超过工资帽，因为CP的续约几乎已经板上钉钉的事情了，所以届时活塞队肯定要交奢侈税。

But owner Tom Gores told the Free Press recently he has no qualms about being a taxpayer.

但是球队老板汤姆-戈尔斯最近告诉Free Press他对于交奢侈税没有疑虑。

“Look, if we weren’t building a core, there’s really no point in paying the luxury tax,” Gores said. “Because we are building a core, would I do it? Yeah, absolutely. …

“听着，如果我们没有构建起核心阵容，那么真没有必要交税，”戈尔斯说，“因为我们已经建立起了核心阵容，我愿意交税吗？是的，十分愿意...”

“So you say go into the luxury tax for nothing, then that would be silly because then we’re putting the franchise behind. But given that we have such a good core, if that’s what it took, and we feel we’ve made such progress this year, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it because we want to keep getting better.”

“所以如果交奢侈税什么也得不到，那么这么做就很蠢，那样就把球队的利益抛诸脑后了。但是考虑到我们已经有了这么好的核心阵容，如果维持这个阵容需要交奢侈税而且我预感我们今年会取得很大的进步，那么我会毫不犹豫的选择交奢侈税，因为我们想变得更好。”

If an extension agreement isn’t reached, Bullock becomes a restricted free agent next off-season.

如果布洛克和活塞队无法达签订续约合同，那么在明年休赛期他将变成受限制自由球员。
