Lakers to lure LeBron, Carmelo?
http://www.basketballinsiders.com/lakers-to-lure-lebron-carmelo/
By trading the No. 7 overall pick and dumping Steve Nash and his $9.7 million
expiring contract, the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly one of the teams
ramping up for a run at LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
如果交易掉七号签以及Nash的9.7M到期约，湖人就有将LBJ跟Melo一起签下的空间。
The All-Stars are opting out of their current contracts to hit free agency
July 1. Contracts can be signed with other teams as of July 8.
ESPN reported the Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks are making
plans to take a shot at bringing in one or both marquee free agents.
James could be back in Miami, and the Heat remain ahead of the rest of the
crowded pack to re-sign him. If James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opt out as
expected and Udonis Haslem declines a one-year option, Miami would free up
more than $50 million. Only backup point guard Norris Cole would be under
contract.
LBJ和Melo已经跳出合约，他们可以在7/8之后和其他队签约。湖人、骑士及老鹰计画签下
这两人其中一人或甚至把两个人都一起签下来。LBJ可能回去热火。若是Wade、Bosh及
Haslem都跳出合约的话，热火将会有50M的薪资空间，只有Cole是有合约在身的。
The Lakers are trying to clear about $33 million, enough to bring in James
and Anthony at $16.5 million annually to team them with Kobe Bryant. Many
criticized Bryant for not taking less money when he signed a two-year, $48
million contract.
湖人正在尝试清出约33M的空间，这样可以给LBJ跟Melo各16.5M的薪水让他们跟KB组巨头。
很多人批评KB不降薪续约反而签下2年48M的合约。
Atlanta and Cleveland would need to manuever their team-friendly contracts to
accomodate multiple big-money signings, but Brian Windhorst of ESPN said the
Cavaliers have one offseason model in which the team could keep point guard
Kyrie Irving plus the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s draft and still have
in excess of $30 million to spend in free agency.
老鹰跟骑士也都需要清出空间来签LBJ跟Melo，但Brian Windhorst报导骑士可以在留下
空间续签Irving及状元签的同时空出约30M的薪资空间。
James and Anthony are two of the top scorers in the NBA and at 30, Anthony
has not experienced the level of team success James realized in Miami, going
to four consecutive NBA Finals with the formation of the Big Three.
虽然LBJ和Melo都是NBA的顶尖球员，但是Melo从没获得与LBJ相同的成功─在热火组建
三巨头并连续四年打进了NBA总冠军战。
