NBA Rumors 2014: Chicago Bulls unlikely to amnesty Carlos Boozer and give
Carmelo Anthony a max contract
The Chicago Bulls continue to be named as a big-time player in the “Carmelo
Anthony Free Agent Sweepstakes,” yet their current financial situation could
keep them from being a serious contender unless certain moves are made.
公牛一直是被大家提到“甜瓜争夺战”的参与者，但是他们的薪资空间状况可能会阻碍
他们追求甜瓜，除非他们能有所动作。
As Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders points out in his latest “NBA AM”
column, the team is currently committed to $63.5 million in salary, meaning
they’ll have little cap room to work with this offseason. Even if they were
able to renounce everything they can, it still wouldn’t be enough to acquire
a seven-time All-Star like Anthony.
就像《Basketball Insiders》的专栏作家Steve Kyler所说的，公牛现在薪资总额是6350
万元，意谓他们在休赛季没有太多薪资空间可以操作，即便他们愿意放弃一切，但仍然还
不足以得到这位7次入选全明星赛的巨星:Carmelo Anthony。
Sources close to the Bulls organization have said the team won’t be willing
to use a one-time amnesty clause on Carlos Boozer ($16.8 million) AND pay
Anthony anything close to $100 million, a number he’s likely to get
elsewhere.
一名亲近公牛高层的消息人士透露，公牛不太愿意将特赦条款用在Carlos Boozer(薪资
1680万)身上，然后只开给Melo一亿美元的合约，一个他到其他球队也都拿得到的合约数额
。
Even if management did amnesty Boozer, it wouldn’t bring them any closer to
the $22.5 million mark. Kyler notes that Mike Dunleavy and his $3.32 million
contract could be dealt, but that would leave the team with Anthony, Derrick
Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and nothing else behind them.
就算公牛管理层特赦Boozer，也很难腾出2250万的薪资空间，Kyler提到虽然公牛可以
处理掉Mike Dunleavy的332万的合约，但会让公牛的阵容只剩下Anthony、Derrick Rose
、Joakim Noah、Taj Gibson这几人而已。
The best-case scenario would be for the team to trade Boozer to the New York
Knicks in a deal involving Anthony. Better yet, if Anthony were to sign for
$15-16 million a season, that would benefit the Bulls even more. It’s just
hard to imagine him leaving so much money on the table.
对公牛来说最好的选择还是把Boozer交易到尼克换Melo，假如Melo还愿意签下一年1500万
到1600万左右的合约的话那就对公牛就更好了，但很难想像Melo会在谈判桌上愿意放弃
那么多钱。
Anthony would immediately move the Bulls further up the totem pole in the
Eastern Conference, but the odds of him landing with the team are becoming
slimmer by the day.
Melo的加盟会让公牛迅速变成东区的争冠劲旅，但是他到公牛的机率却日益渺茫。

Melo下一季不是留在尼克就是去公牛、火箭或勇士吧
