One option: Westbrook considering a buyout of the final year of his contract, bu

今日撰文報導了威少與湖人之間的緊張關係
一個選擇是：威少考慮買斷他最後一年的合約，但至少就目前而言，親近他的消息人士對他
會這麼做的可能性表示不看好。
Westbrook is a prideful man. His swagger is both his sword and his shield, and h
e will not lay them down lightly. He is wary of the stigma that comes with accep
ting a buyout, one source close to him explained. But he also still believes he
can contribute to a team at a high level.”
他是一個驕傲的人。 他的狂妄就是他的劍和盾，他決不輕易放下。 一位與其關係密切的消
息人士解釋說，威少擔心接受合約買斷會給自己帶來污名。 但他仍然相信自己可以為一支
高水準的球隊做出貢獻
The Lakers reportedly aren’t ruling out waiving Westbrook after this season via
the waive-and-stretch provision. Such a move would basically turn Westbrook’s
player option for next season into a three-year deal.
湖人並不排除直接通過延伸條款裁掉威少的球員選項。延伸條款會讓Westbrook下賽季的球
員選項轉化為湖人隊未來三年薪資空間(每年約1500萬美元的薪資)
It seems like parting ways is what is best for both sides, but Westbrook is clea
rly mindful that accepting a buyout could hurt his value
似乎分手對雙方都是最好的，但威少意識到，接受買斷的提議可能會損害自己的價值
