上篇没提到的重点懒人包：
K-Mart佛心来着放弃明年球员选项，等于灰狼明年腾出了7.4m的薪资空间。
看来是真的打的很不开心。(感谢文也忽略了Mitchell、Newton)
Wolves reach contract buyout with Kevin Martin
灰狼队与Kevin Martin达成买断协议
The deal frees up money for the team this summer.
这项协议让球队夏天有更大的薪资操作空间。
By Jerry Zgoda
Minutes before a Tuesday night deadline, the Timberwolves reached a contract
buyout with Kevin Martin, allowing the veteran guard to sign with another
team in time for the playoffs once he clears waivers.
在周二的截止线前几分钟，灰狼队与Kevin Martin达成买断协议。
让这位资深后卫有机会加入另一支球队打季后赛。
The deal guarantees the Wolves they won’t have to pay Martin $7.4 million
for next season. It came five days after they did the same with Andre Miller,
who signed with the Spurs.
这协议让灰狼队不用付Martin下赛季的7.4M薪资。
而五天前，灰狼队也跟Andre Miller达成了买断协议，Miller接着与马刺签约。
Martin’s four-year contract signed in 2013 had a player option he could have
exercised this summer. Eliminating that possibility guarantees the Wolves
more money to spend on signing free agents or re-signing players such as
Gorgui Dieng and Shabazz Muhammad when the league’s salary cap will balloon
due to a new $24 billion television contract.
Martin在2013年签下的4年合约有一个球员选项，
让他可以在今年夏天选择要不要执行最后一年合约。
消除了Martin执行球员选项的可能性让灰狼队有更多的钱来签下自由球员，
或是与Dieng、Shabazz等球员续约，
特别是在联盟的薪资上限随着新签的24亿电视转播合约将会快速上升。
A 12-year NBA veteran and career 38.5 percent three-point shooter, Martin
never found a real role this season largely because of interim coach Sam
Mitchell’s decision to play younger players and partly because of a wrist
injury suffered early this season. His 10.6 points per game is his lowest
career scoring average since his rookie season.
身为一个具有12年NBA资历且生涯平均三分命中38.5%的资深射手，
Martin这个赛季从来没有找到真正的定位，部分原因是因为赛季初手腕受伤了，
但主要是由于代理教练Sam Mitchell决定主打年轻球员。
本赛季每场平均10.6分是他自从新秀赛季以来平均分数最低的一季。
In a text to the Star Tribune shortly before the 11 p.m. deadline, he wrote
that after “a sleepless five days” he had accepted a buyout about which he
was “excited.”
在快要到了截止时间(晚上11点)时，Martin传了个讯息给Star Tribune，
他写道：经过了五个彻夜难眠的日子后，他决定接受买断，也为此感到兴奋。
“This was a tough decision,” he wrote.
“这是个很艰难的决定，” 他这么说。
Martin thanked Wolves owner Glen Taylor and his wife Becky, the Flip Saunders
and Rick Adelman families, trainers, strength coaches, locker room staff and
Minnesota. He didn’t mention Mitchell or GM Milt Newton.
Martin感谢灰狼老板Taylor、他的妻子Becky、Saunders家族、Adelman家族、训练员、力
量教练、更衣室工作人员、明尼苏达。
他没有提到Mitchell，也没有提到GM Milt Newton。
He also praised the team’s young players. “One special group man!!!” he
wrote. “My young fellas keep doing what you’re doing and it will pay off in
the near future. Make your big brother proud.”
他也称赞了球队的年轻球员。“哥们，这是个特别的团体！”他这么写道。
“小伙子们继续做你们正在努力做的，在未来它会兑现的。让你们的大哥感到骄傲吧。”
