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在最近的一次访问中说，在和尼克合约的最後一年，他将行使球员选择权取得自由球 员的身份。 "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说：“我想成为一名自由球员，我觉得在职业生涯中至少一次成为自由球是NBA球员 的梦想，这就像你有一个试用期，它就像我在球场上让所有的教练、所有球队的老板和GM 来评价我所做的一切。所以，是的，我想这种体验。 Anthony has two years remaining on his current contract but can opt out of the final season, worth $23.3 million. Melo和尼克的合约剩下两年，但可以选择在最後一个赛季行使球员选择权跳出价值 23300000美元的合约。 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. 如果他决定跳出合约，Melo如果不是选择另一个追求的球队，他可以和尼克重签更高价的 合约，他能签一个为期五年的合约价值129135806美元。如果他与另一个球队签约，他可 以签的最大合约是四年95897372美元(根据ESPN专家Larry Coon的计算)。这些数字是基於 假设Melo是NBA顶级得分手之一，将签署的最大合约。 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没有谈论任何公开的计划在这个夏天的休赛期间，但观察员指出，在纽约打球，他变 得舒适，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说：我来到纽约为了一个原因，我想来这里，承受在纽约打球的压力，所以有一件事 我想告诉我的球迷：如果你还没有听到它从我口中说出，那麽它不是真的。“ Knicks president and general manager Steve Mills said late last month that New York has "every intention" of keeping Anthony beyond this season. 尼克总裁兼GM Steve Mills说，尼克会倾尽全力留下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月开始谈判。但是，如果Melo选择行使球员选择权，尼克将可能有很 多为竞争对手。 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报导，湖人队在2014夏天的的目标将是Melo和LBJ，假如他们2014年的夏天决定 到自由球员市场试身价。 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. 其他的球队必定也会针对Melo这个上季平均每场28.7分的得分王挪出薪资空间。 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. 有些人猜测，Melo会考虑本赛季结束後离开尼克，如果尼克在2013-14年度成绩未能超过 季後赛第二轮。Melo在2011年被交易到尼克第一年，尼克在季後赛第一轮被横扫。 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. 上赛季，Melo带领尼克赢得13年来第一次季後赛系列赛的胜利，但在第二轮输给溜马。 Thus far, Anthony has declined to elaborate on how the team's performance this year may impact his decision. 到目前为止，Melo拒绝透露今年球队的表现如何是否会影响他的决定。 He was asked late last month how he would define a "successful" season for the Knicks. 有人在上个月下旬问他将如何定义本赛季尼克是“成功”的赛季。 "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说：我不打算给自己或队友压力，说没有冠军就是失败。我不想把设定一个范围 说什麽是一个成功的赛季，或者什麽是一个失败的赛季。 .............................................................. 点评：老话一句：『Melo在那一队，我就支持那一队』^^ -
