今日撰文报导了威少与湖人之间的紧张关系
一个选择是：威少考虑买断他最后一年的合约，但至少就目前而言，亲近他的消息人士对他
会这么做的可能性表示不看好。
Westbrook is a prideful man. His swagger is both his sword and his shield, and h
e will not lay them down lightly. He is wary of the stigma that comes with accep
ting a buyout, one source close to him explained. But he also still believes he
can contribute to a team at a high level.”
他是一个骄傲的人。 他的狂妄就是他的剑和盾，他决不轻易放下。 一位与其关系密切的消
息人士解释说，威少担心接受合约买断会给自己带来污名。 但他仍然相信自己可以为一支
高水准的球队做出贡献
The Lakers reportedly aren’t ruling out waiving Westbrook after this season via
the waive-and-stretch provision. Such a move would basically turn Westbrook’s
player option for next season into a three-year deal.
湖人并不排除直接通过延伸条款裁掉威少的球员选项。延伸条款会让Westbrook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)
It seems like parting ways is what is best for both sides, but Westbrook is clea
rly mindful that accepting a buyout could hurt his value
似乎分手对双方都是最好的，但威少意识到，接受买断的提议可能会损害自己的价值
