Metta World Peace said the Lakers made a "good decision" in waiving him
2013年07月20日 洛杉磯每日新聞報 （原文：http://ppt.cc/uWkv）
"I think it's a good move," World Peace said in an interview with this
newspaper. "If I was the franchise, it's different. But not being the
franchise, they have to make a decision,"
「我認為這是一步好棋，」 World Peace說，
「如果我是當家球星，可能會不一樣。但我不是當家球星，他們必須做出決定。」
"I thought I was going to finish my career as a Laker," World Peace said.
"But sometimes it doesn't work that way."
「我曾以為我會以湖人球員身份退休，」World Peace說道，
「但是，有些時候事情並非皆如人所願。」
What does he think?
那麼，他會是怎麼想的呢？
"They saved more money," World Peace said. "But if it was me, I would've
made a bold decision and saved more money."
「他們節省了很多錢，」World Peace說道，「但是如果要我決定，
我會做出一個大膽的決定，可以省更多的錢。」
The Lakers could've used the amnesty provision on Kobe Bryant (makes $30.5
million next season), Pau Gasol ($19.3 million) or Steve Blake ($4 million)
since they were on the roster before the NBA constructed its new labor deal
in 2011.
湖人隊之前可以供他們選擇特赦的球員有： Kobe Bryant（下賽季 30.5M），
Pau Gasol（19.3M）或者Steve Blake（4M）。
"I would've amnestied everybody," World Peace said with clear sarcasm.
"It depends on what you're trying to do. Kobe is the franchise so you can't
amnesty him. I would've made a bold decision. I won't tell you who I
would've amnestied. But they did it right and did what they had to do."
「我會特赦所有的球員，」World Peace繼續說道，
「這要取決於你究竟試圖做什麼。 Kobe是當家球星，所以你不能特赦他。
但是我會做出大膽的決定，我不會告訴你我會特赦誰。但是他們做了正確的事，
那是他們必須做的。」
So if World Peace would've ensured the Lakers save a lot of money, would he
have waived Bryant?
那麼，World Peace提到的為湖人省更多的錢，換做是他，他會特赦掉 Bryant嗎？
"I didn't say that loser," World Peace said, laughing.
「我可沒有提那個失敗者的名字，」 World Peace笑著說道。
