翻重點…
The offer sheet has Motiejunas earning $5 million upon the signing of the
contract, and the team has to decide by Jan. 10 whether to pay him another
$3.5 million for the remainder of the 2016-17 season, league sources said.
簽下這份合約已經先幫DMO賺了5M，球隊要在1/10前決定是否要付他剩下球季的3.5M。
By March 1, the team has to pick up the option for $9 million owed to
Motiejunas for the 2017-18 season, sources said.
3/1前，球隊必須要執行2017-18球季要付給DMO的9M選項。
The final two years of the contract are non-guaranteed, league sources said,
which means the team can cut Motiejunas loose without paying the balance of
the contract. Before the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, there’s a July 7
trigger date to make a decision on Motiejunas’ deal. Each of the four years
includes $1 million in likely bonuses, and $500,000 in unlikely bonuses,
sources said.
後兩年是非保證合約，這代表球隊能夠不用付合約的其他金額就能裁掉DMO。2018-19和
2019-20球季前，有個7/7觸發日期，必須決定是否要執行合約。四年合約每年都包含1M的
可能性獎金，和0.5M的困難性獎金。
The Nets delivered the offer sheet electronically to the Rockets on Friday
night, and Houston has until midnight Tuesday to match the offer sheet and
retain Motiejunas.

Concerns over recurring back issues – which included surgery to repair a
ruptured disk in 2015 – impacted the interest NBA teams had in signing
Motiejunas, 26, to an offer sheet over the summer.

挑幾段重點簡單翻...
Then, on March 1, the Nets (or the Rockets if they match) have a team option
on year two of his deal. According to most reports, his team whoever it is
will then have to commit another $9 million, making the two-year deal worth
$18 million. Under the CBA, the matching team cannot trade him at all this
season; cannot trade him without his permission for 12 months, cannot trade
him to the Nets for 12 months, period
3/1前不管哪隊得到DMO，都有球隊選項決定是否執行第二年9M的合約，前兩年合約價值合
計18M。根據CBA規定，匹配合約的母隊本季不能交易DMO，12個月內沒有本人同意不能交易
他，12個月內不能將他交易到籃網。

At first glance, it would appear that this is a no-brainer for Daryl Morey,
who low-balled Motiejunas this summer with a two-year deal starting at $7
million but guaranteed for only one year. Now, that the market has spoken, in
the form of the Nets and Sean Marks, it’s an easy decision to match and move
on. Right?
乍看之下對莫雷來說根本想都不用想就能匹配…真是這樣嗎?
Not so fast. The money is one thing, but the Rockets are, as Kevin Pelton
describes them, “obsessive” about having flexibility. This deal might seem
flexible, but it makes little sense for Houston to dump Motiejunas before the
summer. They either want him or they don’t. As Pelton writes, if they go
along with the offer sheet, and commit to his second year on March 1,
Motiejunas sucks up all their projected cap space for the 2017 free agency.
沒那麼簡單。錢是一回事，但就像Kevin Pelton這樣形容火箭，他們很執著於薪資彈性這
件事。這張合約貌似很有彈性，但若是匹配下去，3/1前執行第二年選項，DMO會佔光他們
預期留給2017年自由市場的薪資空間。
They could, of course, just hang on to him for this season, but if they
decide against giving him a commitment for year two, he becomes a free agent
on July 1. The Nets can step in and sign him during the summer. Brooklyn has
just set his market price and he and agent B.J. Armstrong now have a
relationship with Marks, Prokhorov, et al. As Motiejunas has said, he
appreciated that the Nets approached him, adding that their medical
evaluation of his back is comforting
當然他們本季可以留下他，但若是他們拒絕執行第二年選項，DMO在7/1就會變成自由球員
。籃網能在夏天簽下他。籃網已經幫DMO訂下市場價值，DMO和經紀人B.J. Armstrong
已和籃網建立交情。如DMO所說他感謝籃網接觸他，加上籃網對他的背部評估令他欣慰。

For the Nets, this appears to be a move without much downside, almost
risk-free. Motiejunas is a good player, not a savior, but they’d be adding a
26-year-old with deft passing skills, terrific post moves, solid three point
shooting and reasonable defense. His arrival and that of Caris LeVert would
dramatically improve the bench. If, as one would assume, Motiejunas starts
next to Brook Lopez, Trevor Booker would return to his natural role as a
firebrand off the bench. LeVert would help as well.
就籃網來說，開出這張合約沒什麼損失.幾乎零風險的一步。DMO是好球員，不是救世主，
但他的傳球技巧，超棒的低位腳步，不錯的三分投射和合理的防守能增加戰力。他和
LeVert能大幅提高板凳實力。或者他搭配肉配汁先發，書人也能回到板凳帶動火力。
And that first year money? It’s basically free. The Nets are $9.2 million
below the CBA salary floor, meaning they HAVE to pay out that $9.2 million
either in salary or if they don’t spend it, in bonuses to the roster players
as of April 14, the last day of the regular season. Better to use it, not
lose it.
那麼第一年的薪資呢? 基本上是免費的。籃網目前還低於CBA規定薪資下限9.2M，如果不
花這筆錢，在本季正規賽季最後一天4/14也要分給當時的球員作為獎金。
If after a month, the Nets don’t like what they see, or have concerns about
his back, they can wave goodbye to him (and $5 million) on January 10. Then,
assuming they keep him, they have seven more weeks to evaluate him before
March 1, when they have to make a decision on year two.
若是一個月後，籃網不喜歡DMO表現，或擔心他的背傷，他們可以在1/10跟他(和保障薪資
5M)說再見。若是要留下DMO，在3/1前還有7週能觀察他，再做決定是否要執行第二年選項
。
