Sources: Thunder, Carmelo Anthony to part ways this summer

As the Oklahoma City Thunder navigate a historic $310 million payroll and
luxury tax bill, the franchise's front office is working through scenarios
that will culminate in the inevitable this summer: an ending to the brief
Carmelo Anthony partnership, which could deliver the Thunder over $100
million in cost savings.
雷霆今年球員薪資達到歷史性的3億1000萬鎂，土豪稅也很可觀。
制服組想結束和瓜瓜的關係，為雷霆省下1億鎂。

The massive financial implications of Anthony opting into his $27.9 million
contract for the 2018-19 season -- coupled with a mutual understanding that
his scaled-back role with the Thunder isn't what he had signed up for -- have
dictated that the two sides will part ways sometime this summer, league
sources told ESPN.
瓜瓜執行了2018-19年2790萬的合約，但在雷霆的角色越來越薄弱，雙方都同意在
今年夏天某個時間分手。

Anthony's agent, Leon Rose of CAA Sports, has a strong relationship and
history with Thunder general manager Sam Presti, and they'll work together on
Anthony's exit through a trade, the NBA's stretch provision or a combined
buyout and stretch, league sources said.
瓜瓜的經紀人和雷霆制服組Presti有很好的關係，他們曾經合作設法把瓜瓜交易到雷霆。

Anthony, a 10-time NBA All-Star and three-time Olympic gold medalist, would
be pursued vigorously among contenders on the free-agent market. The Houston
Rockets, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers are among multiple teams expected
to express interest in Anthony, sources tell ESPN.
瓜瓜是10屆NBA全明星，3屆奧運金牌將可能會進入自由球員市場。
火箭、熱火和湖人展現了對他的興趣。

Oklahoma City can use the stretch provision on Anthony's $27.9 million
contract to eliminate a staggering $107 million off the team's 2018-19
payroll and tax bill, but the Thunder first plan to pursue trade
possibilities with teams looking to acquire a massive expiring deal to free
up salary-cap space for July 2019 free agency.
雷霆可以用stretch provision來支付瓜瓜的2790萬，降低奢侈稅，
但雷霆A計畫是探索交易的可能性，瓜瓜的合約作為到期合約可以給某些球隊
在2019年騰出空間。

Anthony still holds trade-veto power, but it's likely that any proposed deal
would be with a team wanting simply to waive Anthony and allow him into free
agency.
雖然瓜瓜仍握有霸王條款，但也有可能球隊得到他之後再裁掉，讓他進入自由市場。

The stretch provision would slash $90 million in tax, dropping the Thunder's
bill from $150 million to $60 million. The stretch provision spreads
Anthony's salary annually onto the Thunder's cap for $9.3 million over three
years.
用stretch provision(延伸條款)可以幫助雷霆從1億5千萬奢侈稅降到6千萬，
減少了9千萬鎂的奢侈稅。雷霆用延伸條款將瓜瓜的薪資均分三年，
每年支付930萬鎂。

Once Anthony, 34, opted into the final year of his contract, he lost some
control over his future. Oklahoma City reached agreement to keep forward
Jerami Grant on a three-year, $27 million deal, holding on to a developing
24-year old talent who the organization believes allows them to play faster
on offense and better on defense.
34歲老瓜執行了最後一年的合約，但也失去了對自己未來的一些控制權。
雷霆以三年2700萬留下24歲的天賦球員Jerami Grant，制服組認為這可以讓球隊
在進攻端打得更快，防守更好。


短評或心得：
瓜瓜：要去和CP3合體？和LBJ團員？還是找Wade手牽手？@@
