The offer sheet has Motiejunas earning $5 million upon the signing of the
contract, and the team has to decide by Jan. 10 whether to pay him another
$3.5 million for the remainder of the 2016-17 season, league sources said.
签下这份合约已经先帮DMO赚了5M，球队要在1/10前决定是否要付他剩下球季的3.5M。
By March 1, the team has to pick up the option for $9 million owed to
Motiejunas for the 2017-18 season, sources said.
3/1前，球队必须要执行2017-18球季要付给DMO的9M选项。
The final two years of the contract are non-guaranteed, league sources said,
which means the team can cut Motiejunas loose without paying the balance of
the contract. Before the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, there’s a July 7
trigger date to make a decision on Motiejunas’ deal. Each of the four years
includes $1 million in likely bonuses, and $500,000 in unlikely bonuses,
sources said.
后两年是非保证合约，这代表球队能够不用付合约的其他金额就能裁掉DMO。2018-19和
2019-20球季前，有个7/7触发日期，必须决定是否要执行合约。四年合约每年都包含1M的
可能性奖金，和0.5M的困难性奖金。
The Nets delivered the offer sheet electronically to the Rockets on Friday
night, and Houston has until midnight Tuesday to match the offer sheet and
retain Motiejunas.

Concerns over recurring back issues – which included surgery to repair a
ruptured disk in 2015 – impacted the interest NBA teams had in signing
Motiejunas, 26, to an offer sheet over the summer.

Then, on March 1, the Nets (or the Rockets if they match) have a team option
on year two of his deal. According to most reports, his team whoever it is
will then have to commit another $9 million, making the two-year deal worth
$18 million. Under the CBA, the matching team cannot trade him at all this
season; cannot trade him without his permission for 12 months, cannot trade
him to the Nets for 12 months, period
3/1前不管哪队得到DMO，都有球队选项决定是否执行第二年9M的合约，前两年合约价值合
计18M。根据CBA规定，匹配合约的母队本季不能交易DMO，12个月内没有本人同意不能交易
他，12个月内不能将他交易到篮网。

At first glance, it would appear that this is a no-brainer for Daryl Morey,
who low-balled Motiejunas this summer with a two-year deal starting at $7
million but guaranteed for only one year. Now, that the market has spoken, in
the form of the Nets and Sean Marks, it’s an easy decision to match and move
on. Right?
乍看之下对莫雷来说根本想都不用想就能匹配…真是这样吗?
Not so fast. The money is one thing, but the Rockets are, as Kevin Pelton
describes them, “obsessive” about having flexibility. This deal might seem
flexible, but it makes little sense for Houston to dump Motiejunas before the
summer. They either want him or they don’t. As Pelton writes, if they go
along with the offer sheet, and commit to his second year on March 1,
Motiejunas sucks up all their projected cap space for the 2017 free agency.
没那么简单。钱是一回事，但就像Kevin Pelton这样形容火箭，他们很执著于薪资弹性这
件事。这张合约貌似很有弹性，但若是匹配下去，3/1前执行第二年选项，DMO会占光他们
预期留给2017年自由市场的薪资空间。
They could, of course, just hang on to him for this season, but if they
decide against giving him a commitment for year two, he becomes a free agent
on July 1. The Nets can step in and sign him during the summer. Brooklyn has
just set his market price and he and agent B.J. Armstrong now have a
relationship with Marks, Prokhorov, et al. As Motiejunas has said, he
appreciated that the Nets approached him, adding that their medical
evaluation of his back is comforting
当然他们本季可以留下他，但若是他们拒绝执行第二年选项，DMO在7/1就会变成自由球员
。篮网能在夏天签下他。篮网已经帮DMO订下市场价值，DMO和经纪人B.J. Armstrong
已和篮网建立交情。如DMO所说他感谢篮网接触他，加上篮网对他的背部评估令他欣慰。

For the Nets, this appears to be a move without much downside, almost
risk-free. Motiejunas is a good player, not a savior, but they’d be adding a
26-year-old with deft passing skills, terrific post moves, solid three point
shooting and reasonable defense. His arrival and that of Caris LeVert would
dramatically improve the bench. If, as one would assume, Motiejunas starts
next to Brook Lopez, Trevor Booker would return to his natural role as a
firebrand off the bench. LeVert would help as well.
就篮网来说，开出这张合约没什么损失.几乎零风险的一步。DMO是好球员，不是救世主，
但他的传球技巧，超棒的低位脚步，不错的三分投射和合理的防守能增加战力。他和
LeVert能大幅提高板凳实力。或者他搭配肉配汁先发，书人也能回到板凳带动火力。
And that first year money? It’s basically free. The Nets are $9.2 million
below the CBA salary floor, meaning they HAVE to pay out that $9.2 million
either in salary or if they don’t spend it, in bonuses to the roster players
as of April 14, the last day of the regular season. Better to use it, not
lose it.
那么第一年的薪资呢? 基本上是免费的。篮网目前还低于CBA规定薪资下限9.2M，如果不
花这笔钱，在本季正规赛季最后一天4/14也要分给当时的球员作为奖金。
If after a month, the Nets don’t like what they see, or have concerns about
his back, they can wave goodbye to him (and $5 million) on January 10. Then,
assuming they keep him, they have seven more weeks to evaluate him before
March 1, when they have to make a decision on year two.
若是一个月后，篮网不喜欢DMO表现，或担心他的背伤，他们可以在1/10跟他(和保障薪资
5M)说再见。若是要留下DMO，在3/1前还有7周能观察他，再做决定是否要执行第二年选项
。
