Stein：湖人不排除用延伸條款裁掉威少

The Lakers, leaguesourcessay, have not ruled out simply parting ways with West
brook via the waive-and-stretch provision. A straight release of Westbrook that
essentially transforms his mammoth player option for next season into what lives
on their books as a three-year deal in the $15 million range annually would mov
e the Lakers out of luxury-tax territory and make it far easier for them to reta
in free agent-to-be Malik Monk, who at times has unexpectedly appeared to be the
Lakers’ most dependable player not named LeBron James throughout a nightmarish
31-48 campaign. Facilitating Monk’s return might be reason enough for the Lake
rs to go this route and is expected, leaguesourcessay, to be under considerati
on.
Stein表示，湖人並沒有排除直接通過延伸條款裁掉威少的選項。
延伸條款會讓威少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
資佔比，但是會讓湖人隊薪資離開奢侈稅區，從而能夠更容易留下即將成為自由球員的Monk
。
噩夢般的31-48賽季中，他的好表現成為湖人隊最可靠的球員，而不是詹姆斯。 促使Monk的
回歸可能是湖人走這條路的足夠理由，聯盟消息人士說，這是湖人在考量之中的。
