Nicolas Batum found out the Hornets had released him in November on social media, according to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer. “I found out on Twitter, like everybody else,” Batum said. The veteran forward was let go to clear cap space for Gordon Hayward. Charlotte elected to use the stretch provision, spreading Batum’s $27.1MM cap hit over three seasons. The Hornets declined to comment on how they handled Batum’s departure.
Batum 去年11月被黃蜂裁掉並將薪資攤成3年。
巴吞： 我看報紙才知道的
但這個攤提是讓黃蜂有本錢追逐黑娃的第一步，而最後也抱得美人歸（？
而黃蜂並沒有說明他們讓Batum離開的始末
譯：當時黃蜂選擇其實挺多的，包含裁或交易比昂伯、CZ甚至交易弱企鵝
但回到去年底，裁掉最高薪又幾乎擺爛的Batum是好選擇，避免給年輕球員作不良示範
如果巴吞認真打的情況，也許該考慮裁的是中鋒。但誰知道呢？
球隊大概也沒想到黑娃+球三可以讓球隊離季後賽這麼近 （QQ)

1. LaMelo Ball played 57 percent of the season before he injured his wrist, so he’s still likely to win the Rookie of the Year award, Sam Vecenie of The Athletic writes. Only strong finishes by either Anthony Edwards or Tyrese Haliburton would jeopardize his hold on the award.
球三已經打了57%賽季，所以已經取得新人王資格。所以即使他傷了手腕還是強而有力的競爭者，目前僅有灰狼的狀元跟國王的哈利有一戰之力
2.
The team has a tricky decision on Devonte’ Graham in the aftermath of Ball’s injury, but they would still be wise to deal the restricted free agent, Vecenie opines in the same piece. Graham will never have more value than he has now, due to his $1.6MM salary, which makes him an option for any team interested in him. He could be an impact player for a contender, which would gain control over him this summer due to his RFA status.
隨著球三受傷，Graham成了黃蜂急於處理的資產。
1.6M的薪水讓他成為非常有交易價值的資產，他在今夏成為RFA,這會影響球隊對他的控制權，他可以成為一個擁有影響力的競爭隊伍成員。
3.
Charlotte has long been interested in the Pacers’ Myles Turner and Indiana asked for P.J. Washington as part of a potential package prior to the season, J Michael of the Indianapolis Star tweets.
黃蜂一直對MT有興趣，但根據當地報紙的資訊，溜馬要求包裹要有PJ Washington
譯：黃蜂應該要決定成為買家or賣家了
4.
With an open roster spot and up to $4.1MM in cap space, GM Mitch Kupchak needs to add a big man to the roster, Bonnell tweets. Charlotte has left a roster spot open throughout the season.
庫胖現在有4.1M的空間跟開放態度的輪值可以供交易，他們現在急迫需要一名大個
