NEW YORK -- New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony said in a recent interview that he wants to opt out of the final year of his contract this summer and test free agency. Melo在最近的一次訪問中說，在和尼克合約的最後一年，他將行使球員選擇權取得自由球員的身份。 "I want to be a free agent," Anthony told the New York Observer. "I think everybody in the NBA dreams to be a free agent at least one time in their career. It's like you have an evaluation period, you know. It's like if I'm in the gym and I have all the coaches, all the owners, all the GMs come into the gym and just evaluate everything I do. So yes, I want that experience." Melo說：“我想成為一名自由球員，我覺得在職業生涯中至少一次成為自由球是NBA球員的夢想，這就像你有一個試用期，它就像我在球場上讓所有的教練、所有球隊的老闆和GM 來評價我所做的一切。所以，是的，我想這種體驗。 Anthony has two years remaining on his current contract but can opt out of the final season, worth $23.3 million. Melo和尼克的合約剩下兩年，但可以選擇在最後一個賽季行使球員選擇權跳出價值 23300000美元的合約。 If he decides to opt out, Anthony can make more money if he re-signs with the Knicks instead of another suitor. With the Knicks, he could ink a a five-year contract worth $129,135,806. If he signs with another team, the maximum he can earn is $95,897,372 over four years, according to calculations by ESPN salary-cap expert Larry Coon. Those numbers are based on the assumption Anthony, one of the top scorers in the NBA, will sign a max contract. 如果他決定跳出合約，Melo如果不是選擇另一個追求的球隊，他可以和尼克重簽更高價的合約，他能簽一個為期五年的合約價值129135806美元。如果他與另一個球隊簽約，他可以簽的最大合約是四年95897372美元(根據ESPN專家Larry Coon的計算)。這些數字是基於假設Melo是NBA頂級得分手之一，將簽署的最大合約。 Anthony hasn't said anything publicly about his plans beyond this summer. But in the Observer story Anthony noted that he's grown comfortable with the high expectations that come with playing in New York. Melo沒有談論任何公開的計劃在這個夏天的休賽期間，但觀察員指出，在紐約打球，他變得舒適，且有很高的期望。 "I came to New York for a reason," he said. "I've been with you all my life, almost to a fault. I wanted to come here and take on the pressures of playing in New York. So one thing I would tell my fans: If you haven't heard it from me, then it ain't true." Melo說：我來到紐約為了一個原因，我想來這裡，承受在紐約打球的壓力，所以有一件事我想告訴我的球迷：如果你還沒有聽到它從我口中說出，那麼它不是真的。“ Knicks president and general manager Steve Mills said late last month that New York has "every intention" of keeping Anthony beyond this season. 尼克總裁兼GM Steve Mills說，尼克會傾盡全力留下Melo。 The Knicks can begin negotiations with Anthony on an extension in February. But if Anthony decides to opt out, New York will likely have plenty of competition for his services. 尼克可以和Melo在2月開始談判。但是，如果Melo選擇行使球員選擇權，尼克將可能有很多為競爭對手。 ESPN.com reported over the summer that the Los Angeles Lakers would target Anthony and LeBron James in the summer of 2014 if both stars decide to explore free agency. ESPN.com報導，湖人隊在2014夏天的的目標將是Melo和LBJ，假如他們2014年的夏天決定到自由球員市場試身價。 Other teams with the requisite cap space would surely target Anthony as well. The 10-year veteran led the NBA in scoring last season with 28.7 points per game. 其他的球隊必定也會針對Melo這個上季平均每場28.7分的得分王挪出薪資空間。 Some have speculated that Anthony would consider leaving New York after this season if the Knicks failed to make it out of the second round of the playoffs in 2013-14. In Anthony's first year in New York, following the blockbuster 2011 trade that brought him to the Big Apple, the Knicks were swept in the first round of the playoffs. 有些人猜測，Melo會考慮本賽季結束後離開尼克，如果尼克在2013-14年度成績未能超過季後賽第二輪。Melo在2011年被交易到尼克第一年，尼克在季後賽第一輪被橫掃。 Last season, Anthony led the Knicks to their first postseason series win in 13 years. But New York lost to Indiana in the second round of the playoffs. 上賽季，Melo帶領尼克贏得13年來第一次季後賽系列賽的勝利，但在第二輪輸給溜馬。 Thus far, Anthony has declined to elaborate on how the team's performance this year may impact his decision. 到目前為止，Melo拒絕透露今年球隊的表現如何是否會影響他的決定。 He was asked late last month how he would define a "successful" season for the Knicks. 有人在上個月下旬問他將如何定義本賽季尼克是“成功”的賽季。 "I'm not going to put that pressure on myself or our guys to say that it's championship or bust," Anthony said. "I don't want to put a cap on what's a successful season or what's a failure [of a] season for us." Melo說：我不打算給自己或隊友壓力，說沒有冠軍就是失敗。我不想把設定一個範圍說什麼是一個成功的賽季，或者什麼是一個失敗的賽季。 .............................................................. 點評：老話一句：『Melo在那一隊，我就支持那一隊』^^ -※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 117.56.245.31 ※ 編輯: carmelo07 來自: 117.56.245.31 (10/17 11:37)
