马刺是众多追逐这位上赛季效力雄鹿的神射型后卫的球队之一。
马刺队可能正在市场上物色一名后卫。据HoopsHype的迈克尔·斯科托 (Michael Scotto) 报道,圣安东尼奥马刺是几支有意签下自由球员瑞安·罗林斯 (Ryan Rollins) 的球队之一。雄鹿、太阳、湖人以及开拓者也都在追逐他。
23岁的罗林斯在NBA并非家喻户晓。他作为勇士队新秀时几乎没有上场机会,随后在奇才和雄鹿队效力期间,作为二年级生也未能给人留下深刻印象。然而,在他的第三个赛季,这位6英尺3英寸(约1.91米)的后卫展现出了潜力。在密尔沃基,罗林斯场均出战14.6分钟,贡献6.4分、2个篮板和2次助攻,三分命中率高达40%。他甚至首发了19场比赛,在那个角色下,他的各项数据全面提升。
据报道,雄鹿队正试图留下他。他们撤回了对他的资质报价以腾出薪金空间,但仍可利用其“早鸟权”(Early Bird rights)在超过工资帽的情况下将其签回。马刺队则可以选择提供在签下卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 后剩余的非奢侈税球队中产特例(non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception)中约400万美元的部分,或是价值约500万美元的双年特例(bi-annual exception)。正如斯科托所指出的,湖人队也拥有双年特例,而开拓者则手握价值约1400万美元的完整非奢侈税中产特例,太阳队则只能提供底薪。尽管罗林斯上赛季表现引人注目,但他不应获得高薪,因此不太可能出现竞价战将其身价推高至马刺队无法承受的范围。
考虑到马刺队后卫线上已经人满为患,他们对另一名小个子后卫表现出兴趣可能令人费解,但罗林斯提供了完全不同的技能包。他是一名出色的接球投篮三分手,100次总出手命中率高达43%,并且是一名扎实的防守球员,拥有6英尺10英寸(约2.08米)的臂展。罗林斯能够为队友创造机会,突破流畅,但他也可以作为第二持球点和空间型球员,在圣安东尼奥的其他后卫身边打无球角色。他也足够年轻,可以成为一个长期培养的项目,与迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在后场一同成长。尽管他不像另一名中锋或空间型前锋那样能解决燃眉之急,但他可能非常有用。
目前来看,没有任何进展显得迫在眉睫,而且还有其他追求者,所以罗林斯可能最终不会穿上银黑战袍,但他是马刺队完善阵容之际一个值得关注的名字。

Report: Spurs interested in free agent guard Ryan Rollins
San Antonio is one of the many teams pursuing the sharpshooting guard who played for the Bucks last season.
The Spurs might be on the market for a guard. San Antonio is one of several teams interested in signing free agent Ryan Rollins, according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto. The Bucks, Suns, Lakers, and Trail Blazers are also pursuing him.
Rollins, 23, is not a household name in the NBA. He barely played as a rookie for the Warriors and then spent time with the Wizards and Bucks without making much of an impression as a sophomore. In his third season, however, the 6’3 guard showed promise. Rollins averaged 6.4 points, two rebounds, and two assists while shooting 40 percent on three-pointers in 14.6 minutes a game in Milwaukee. He even started 19 games, and in that role, his numbers improved across the board.
The Bucks are reportedly trying to retain him. They withdrew his qualifying offer to carve out cap space, but can use his Early Bird rights to go over the cap to sign him. The Spurs could either offer the around $4 million they have left in their non-taxpayer’s mid-level exception after signing Luke Kornet or the bi-annual exception, worth around $5 million. As Scotto points out, the Lakers also have the bi-annual exception at their disposal while the Trail Blazers have the full non-taxpayer’s mid-level worth around $14 million, and the Suns can only offer the minimum. As intriguing as Rollins was last season, he shouldn’t command a high salary, so it’s unlikely a bidding war will up his price past what San Antonio can afford.
It might seem curious for the Spurs to be interested in yet another small-ish guard, since they have a logjam already, but Rollins offers a completely different skillset. He was a killer on catch-and-shoot three-pointers, connecting on 43 percent of his 100 total attempts, and is a solid defensive player, possessing a 6’10 wingspan. Rollins can make plays for others and is smooth on drives, but he can also play an off-ball role as a secondary ball handler and floor spacer next to any of San Antonio’s other guards. He’s also young enough to be a long-term project that grows along with Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle in the backcourt. He doesn’t fill as big a need as another center or a stretch forward would, but he could be useful.
Nothing seems imminent, and there are other suitors, so Rollins might not end up wearing Silver and Black, but he’s a name to keep in mind as the Spurs round out their roster.
