一 | 北京时间8月22日,独行侠官方宣布,球队已经与克莱・汤普森达成买断协议。

二 | 据ESPN的Shams消息源透露,这位老将侧翼度过澄清期后,将以2年约1300万美元的合同加盟热火,第二年是球员选项。 LOS ANGELES -- At the most harrowing of times, some Israeli citizens living overseas aren't running from the war at home, but to it. From Athens to New York, they're rushing to airports and diving into online chat groups for help, desperate to make their way to the country after Hamas militants attacked. Some of these Israelis abroad are yearning to serve, whether that means fighting in a military reserve unit or volunteering to shuttle supplies to those in need, even as the war has already claimed at least 1,800 lives and shows no signs of abating. On Tuesday, Israel's military expanded its mobilization of reservists to 360,000, according to the country’s media, as it ramped up its retaliation for the surprise attacks. Yaakov Swisa, a 42-year-old father of five, said nobody called and asked him to return to Israel to fight, but he feels he has no choice. He served for 15 years, and he said he learned his army roommate was among at least 260 killed at a music festival. Swisa wants to rejoin his reserve unit, even if that means leaving his family and his construction-business job in Los Angeles. “I’ve been crying for two, three days. Enough. That’s it. I am ready to fight," he said. “What else would I do ... while my friends are being buried in Israel?”Some of the Israelis living, working or just traveling abroad who were trying to make it back said their reserve units were among those called up. Others said they hadn't yet been called or couldn't reach their commanders but expected to be asked soon. In other cases, Israelis who are too young to serve in the military, as well as non-Israelis with close ties to the country, have been trying to travel to assist family members or volunteer.Adam Jacobs, an 18-year-old community college student in New Jersey, said he was born and raised in the U.S. and for years traveled every summer to visit family in Israel. He said he learned his cousin was among those killed, and he wants to make his way to Israel to take on volunteer work, possibly shuttling supplies.“I couldn’t live with myself if I stayed here,” Jacobs said. “It’s never been this bad.”Eric Fingerhut, a former U.S. congressman who now leads The Jewish Federations of North America, said he’s not surprised by how many people want to help.“As soon as we can possibly enable that, we certainly will,” he said from Tel Aviv, where he'd arrived just before the weekend attacks. “There are many Israeli reservists who are abroad. And so getting them back home to join the fight, you know, has been a priority. And it should be a priority. So people are just scrambling.”The war began after Hamas militants stormed into Israel Saturday during a major Jewish holiday, killing people and abducting others. In response, Israeli warplanes have hammered the Gaza Strip, destroying buildings and sending Palestinian residents scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory. Travel has been challenging, with major airlines suspending flights in and out of Israel. The U.S. State Department issued travel advisories for the region. Some reservists in the United States, home to more than 140,000 people born in Israel, were trying to get on charter flights.Ofer Cohen, a New York businessman, said he learned there were more than 200 reservists traveling through South America on vacation at the time of the attacks. They've been called back to base but unable to get there, thanks to canceled flights. So Cohen is trying to cobble together hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire a plane to pick them up, as WhatsApp messages describing their troubles keep rolling in. “I just saw one after another,” he said, “and I thought about this idea of getting a charter plane and get them back to Israel.”In Greece, hundreds of people waited hours to board emergency flights at Athens International Airport, many without a ticket and most traveling from other European destinations after cutting holiday and work trips short. As officers patrolled the area to provide security, volunteers handed travelers apples, bananas and bottled water. Nir Ekhouse, a 19-year old from near Nazareth, had been in the Maldives with family. They reached Athens via Istanbul as they tried to make it home. Once there, Ekhouse said, he plans to volunteer for an organization that supports the military.“This is the first time in the history of Israel that something like that has happened. It’s very shocking,” he said, standing in line with his parents and younger siblings.Israel Lawrence, 27, was born in Israel and grew up in London. He said that although he hasn't been formally called up, he's making the trip to join his fellow soldiers, many already on the front lines, and help his family members, who are living in terror and chaos.“I want to be honest with you, I’m scared," said Lawrence, a trained rifleman who was on his way to Israel via Cyprus. "All the guys I’m with are terrified, but we are trained, and we’ll do the best we can.” __Hadjicostis reported from Nicosia, Cyprus. Taxin reported from Santa Ana, California.

三 | 据ClutchPoints报道,热火从一开始就将汤普森视作头号目标,这也是他们没有动用任何中产特例去追逐布拉德利・比尔或是德马尔・德罗赞的原因。 当时独行侠阵容人员过剩,队内拥有16份标准合同,但球队并不愿意在得不到相应回报的情况下放走汤普森。

四 | 而据Shams透露,近期事态发生转变:汤普森告知球队,自己希望前往一支争冠球队打球。 热火目前距离第一土豪线还有约1060万美元的薪资空间,同时队内还有3个阵容名额空缺。 薪资专家约西・戈兹兰表示,汤普森的老将底薪为390万美元,因此他在买断中至少放弃了这部分金额。戈兹兰还提到,在完成这笔买断之前,独行侠的薪资距离奢侈税线还有约220万美元。 热火此前将泰勒・希罗送至雄鹿换来字母哥,自由球员鲍威尔转投公牛,球队极其需要外线火力,汤普森的到来将解燃眉之急。36岁的汤普森依旧是高效的三分威胁:上赛季他出战69场比赛,三分命中率38.3%,场均出场21.7分钟,贡献11.7分。 汤普森曾在勇士四夺总冠军,两年前通过交易加盟独行侠。彼时独行侠刚打完总决赛,但局势急转直下,卢卡・东契奇在那个赛季的2月被交易离队。过去两个赛季独行侠分别只取得39胜、26胜的战绩,汤普森希望在退役前重新拥有冲击总冠军的机会。 “克莱是他所处时代最伟大的球员与斗士之一,我们感谢他为独行侠这支球队所付出的一切。”球队篮球运营总裁乌杰里说道,“我们由衷敬佩克莱职业生涯取得的所有成就,也祝愿他未来一切顺利。
