Stein：湖人不排除用延伸条款裁掉威少
来源 Marc Stein
The Lakers, league sources say, have not ruled out simply parting ways with West
brook via the waive-and-stretch provision. A straight release of Westbrook that
essentially transforms his mammoth player option for next season into what lives
on their books as a three-year deal in the $15 million range annually would mov
e the Lakers out of luxury-tax territory and make it far easier for them to reta
in free agent-to-be Malik Monk, who at times has unexpectedly appeared to be the
Lakers’ most dependable player not named LeBron James throughout a nightmarish
31-48 campaign. Facilitating Monk’s return might be reason enough for the Lake
rs to go this route and is expected, league sources say, to be under considerati
on.
Stein表示，湖人并没有排除直接通过延伸条款裁掉威少的选项。延伸条款会让威少下赛季
的球员选项转化为湖人队未来三年薪资空间每年约1500万美元的薪资占比，但是会让湖人队
薪资离开奢侈税区，从而能够更容易留下即将成为自由球员的Monk。这恶梦般的31-48赛季
中，他的好表现成为了湖人队最可靠的球员，而不是詹姆斯。 促使Monk的回归可能是湖人
走这条路的足够理由，联盟消息人士说，这是湖人在考虑的地方。
