Stein：湖人不排除用延伸条款裁掉威少
来源 Marc Stein
The Lakers, leaguesourcessay, 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, leaguesourcessay, 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
。
噩梦般的31-48赛季中，他的好表现成为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，这是湖人在考量之中的。
