Wolves reach contract buyout with Kevin Martin
灰狼隊與Kevin Martin達成買斷協議
The deal frees up money for the team this summer.
這項協議讓球隊夏天有更大的薪資操作空間。
By Jerry Zgoda
Minutes before a Tuesday night deadline, the Timberwolves reached a contract
buyout with Kevin Martin, allowing the veteran guard to sign with another
team in time for the playoffs once he clears waivers.
在周二的截止線前幾分鐘，灰狼隊與Kevin Martin達成買斷協議。
讓這位資深後衛有機會加入另一支球隊打季後賽。
The deal guarantees the Wolves they won’t have to pay Martin $7.4 million
for next season. It came five days after they did the same with Andre Miller,
who signed with the Spurs.
這協議讓灰狼隊不用付Martin下賽季的7.4M薪資。
而五天前，灰狼隊也跟Andre Miller達成了買斷協議，Miller接著與馬刺簽約。
Martin’s four-year contract signed in 2013 had a player option he could have
exercised this summer. Eliminating that possibility guarantees the Wolves
more money to spend on signing free agents or re-signing players such as
Gorgui Dieng and Shabazz Muhammad when the league’s salary cap will balloon
due to a new $24 billion television contract.
Martin在2013年簽下的4年合約有一個球員選項，
讓他可以在今年夏天選擇要不要執行最後一年合約。
消除了Martin執行球員選項的可能性讓灰狼隊有更多的錢來簽下自由球員，
或是與Dieng、Shabazz等球員續約，
特別是在聯盟的薪資上限隨著新簽的24億電視轉播合約將會快速上升。
A 12-year NBA veteran and career 38.5 percent three-point shooter, Martin
never found a real role this season largely because of interim coach Sam
Mitchell’s decision to play younger players and partly because of a wrist
injury suffered early this season. His 10.6 points per game is his lowest
career scoring average since his rookie season.
身為一個具有12年NBA資歷且生涯平均三分命中38.5%的資深射手，
Martin這個賽季從來沒有找到真正的定位，部分原因是因為賽季初手腕受傷了，
但主要是由於代理教練Sam Mitchell決定主打年輕球員。
本賽季每場平均10.6分是他自從新秀賽季以來平均分數最低的一季。
In a text to the Star Tribune shortly before the 11 p.m. deadline, he wrote
that after “a sleepless five days” he had accepted a buyout about which he
was “excited.”
在快要到了截止時間(晚上11點)時，Martin傳了個訊息給Star Tribune，
他寫道：經過了五個徹夜難眠的日子後，他決定接受買斷，也為此感到興奮。
“This was a tough decision,” he wrote.
“這是個很艱難的決定，” 他這麼說。
Martin thanked Wolves owner Glen Taylor and his wife Becky, the Flip Saunders
and Rick Adelman families, trainers, strength coaches, locker room staff and
Minnesota. He didn’t mention Mitchell or GM Milt Newton.
Martin感謝灰狼老闆Taylor、他的妻子Becky、Saunders家族、Adelman家族、訓練員、力
量教練、更衣室工作人員、明尼蘇達。
他沒有提到Mitchell，也沒有提到GM Milt Newton。
He also praised the team’s young players. “One special group man!!!” he
wrote. “My young fellas keep doing what you’re doing and it will pay off in
the near future. Make your big brother proud.”
他也稱讚了球隊的年輕球員。“哥們，這是個特別的團體！”他這麼寫道。
“小夥子們繼續做你們正在努力做的，在未來它會兌現的。讓你們的大哥感到驕傲吧。”
