Metta World Peace said the Lakers made a "good decision" in waiving him

"I think it's a good move," World Peace said in an interview with this
newspaper. "If I was the franchise, it's different. But not being the
franchise, they have to make a decision,"
“我认为这是一步好棋，” World Peace说，
“如果我是当家球星，可能会不一样。但我不是当家球星，他们必须做出决定。”
"I thought I was going to finish my career as a Laker," World Peace said.
"But sometimes it doesn't work that way."
“我曾以为我会以湖人球员身份退休，”World Peace说道，
“但是，有些时候事情并非皆如人所愿。”
What does he think?
那么，他会是怎么想的呢？
"They saved more money," World Peace said. "But if it was me, I would've
made a bold decision and saved more money."
“他们节省了很多钱，”World Peace说道，“但是如果要我决定，
我会做出一个大胆的决定，可以省更多的钱。”
The Lakers could've used the amnesty provision on Kobe Bryant (makes $30.5
million next season), Pau Gasol ($19.3 million) or Steve Blake ($4 million)
since they were on the roster before the NBA constructed its new labor deal
in 2011.
湖人队之前可以供他们选择特赦的球员有： Kobe Bryant（下赛季 30.5M），
Pau Gasol（19.3M）或者Steve Blake（4M）。
"I would've amnestied everybody," World Peace said with clear sarcasm.
"It depends on what you're trying to do. Kobe is the franchise so you can't
amnesty him. I would've made a bold decision. I won't tell you who I
would've amnestied. But they did it right and did what they had to do."
“我会特赦所有的球员，”World Peace继续说道，
“这要取决于你究竟试图做什么。 Kobe是当家球星，所以你不能特赦他。
但是我会做出大胆的决定，我不会告诉你我会特赦谁。但是他们做了正确的事，
那是他们必须做的。”
So if World Peace would've ensured the Lakers save a lot of money, would he
have waived Bryant?
那么，World Peace提到的为湖人省更多的钱，换做是他，他会特赦掉 Bryant吗？
"I didn't say that loser," World Peace said, laughing.
“我可没有提那个失败者的名字，” World Peace笑着说道。
