其实 Monk 的薪资问题王桑前面有发过文 https://webptt.com/cn.aspx?n=bbs/Lakers/M.1641378364.A.96A.html 这篇外电则是湖人有可能留下 Monk 的世界线 https://tinyurl.com/2p8wawba How the Lakers can afford to re-sign Malik Monk after his breakout season The Lakers would need some help from Monk to keep the young guard in Los Angeles 湖人队如何能重新签下破茧而出的 Malik Monk 湖人队需要这位年轻的後卫 Malik Monk 留在洛杉矶 Monk signed only a one-year contract with the Lakers last summer. When a player becomes a free agent after only one year with a team, that team only gains Non-Bird Rights on that player. Those rights allow the team to go above the cap to re-sign that player, but only to give him a 20 percent raise. Most players are happy to earn a 20 percent raise… but a 20 percent raise on the minimum is, well, minimal. Monk isn't even making $1.8 million this season. He's not going to stay in Los Angeles for the roughly $2.15 million those Non-Bird Rights can get him. Teams are going to offer him several times more. Monk 去年夏天与湖人队签了一年的底薪合约。当一名球员在一支球队效力一年後成为自 由球员时，该球队只能获得该球员的非鸟权利。 这允许球队超过薪资上限重新签下这名 球员，但只能给他20%的加薪。 大多数球员都乐於获得 20% 的加薪……但最低 20% 的加 薪是~嗯~微不足道的。 Monk 本赛季甚至没有赚到180万美元。他不会为了那些非鸟权利 可以得到他的大约 215 万美元而留在洛杉矶。其他球队将为他提供数倍的报价。 So how can the Lakers retain Monk? In a perfect world, they'd like to get his full Bird Rights. When a team has full Bird Rights on a player, they can pay him anything up to the max to stay with him. It takes three years to build those rights, though, and keeping Monk in-house that long when he'll receive more lucrative offers in the process seems relatively unlikely. Fortunately, there's a possible compromise here. 那麽湖人队如何才能留住 Monk 呢？完美的预想状况是湖人想得到他的完整鸟权。当一支 球队对一名球员拥有完整的早鸟权时，他们可以向他支付最高金额的任何薪资以留住球员 。不过建立完整鸟权需要三年时间，而且让 Monk 在球队待那麽久，这样他就会在这个过 程中收到更有利的薪资报价，这相似乎不太实际，但幸运的是有一个妥协的可能性。 If the Lakers can keep Monk in the building for one more season, they'll gain his Early Bird Rights, a middle ground between the Non-Bird Rights they'll have and the full Bird Rights they'd want. Early Bird Rights allow a team to re-sign a player for 105 percent of the average player salary—the figure used to determine the non-taxpayer mid-level exception. Such a deal would pay Monk something in the neighborhood of $50 million over four years. Perhaps more if the cap projections are optimistic. 如果湖人队可以让 Monk 在湖人里再待一个赛季，他们将获得他的早鸟权，这是他们将拥 有的非鸟权和他们想要的完整鸟权之间的中间地带。早鸟权允许球队以球员平均薪资的 105%重新签下球员—也就是全额中产。这样的合约将在四年内让 Monk 取得5000万美元的 收入，如果薪资上限预测乐观也许会更多。 That sort of contract is far closer to Monk's true value than the minimum, but how can the Lakers compel Monk to wait an extra year in Los Angeles to get the necessary Early Bird Rights? The only feasible answer right now would be the taxpayer mid-level exception. The Lakers could, in theory, sign Monk to a two-year deal worth roughly $13 million using that exception. The second season would include a player-option, giving Monk the freedom to either opt-out and test free agency (hopefully re-signing with the Lakers using that Early Bird Exception), or, if things go poorly next season, opt-in and try again with the knowledge that he would have Full Bird Rights with the Lakers after that. 这种合约比底薪更接近 Monk 的真正价值，但湖人队怎麽能强迫 Monk 在湖人多等一年才 能获得必要的早鸟权呢？目前唯一可行的答案是小中产(6M)。 理论上，湖人队可以利用 小中产与蒙克签下一份价值约1300万美元的两年合约。第二个赛季将包括一个球员选项， 让蒙克可以放弃球员选项进入自由球员市场（希望使用早鸟条款与湖人队重新签约），或 者如果下赛季情况不理想， Monk 可以捡起选择球员选项再打一年，因为他知道在那之後 他将在湖人队拥有完整的鸟权。 Is this going to be enough to retain Monk? That's hard to say. Fortunately for the Lakers, very few teams are going to have meaningful cap space this offseason. Detroit, San Antonio and Orlando are the three teams likely to have real space, but all three have invested in multiple young guards over the past few years. None appear especially likely to pursue Monk. A more present threat would be some team offering Monk the non-taxpayer mid-level exception. A bigger group of teams should have access to that exception if they want it, and taking such an offer could guarantee Monk something like $45 million over four years. 这足以留住 Monk 吗？这很难说。对湖人队来说幸运的是，很少球队会在这个休赛期拥有 有用的的薪资空间。底特律、圣安东尼奥和奥兰多是可能拥有真正空间的三支球队，但在 过去的几年里，这三支球队都投资了多名年轻後卫。似乎没有人特别有可能追求 Monk 。 一个更现实的威胁将是其他队伍向 Monk 提供全额中产。如果他们愿意，更多的队伍 应该可以使用全额中产，并且接受这样的合约可以保证 Monk 在四年内获得大约4500万美 元。 That's life-changing money, and Monk hasn't gotten a big contract yet. If his priority this offseason is to maximize earnings above all else, the Lakers are probably out of luck. If he's happy in Los Angeles and wants to wear the purple and gold for the long haul, though, he has a path to doing so if he's patient. It's hardly an unprecedented path either. Bobby Portis took a very similar route to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason. Nic Batum took his Non-Bird 20 percent raise to stay with the Clippers, but like Portis, he'll have the chance to cash in on an Early Bird deal in the offseason. As an added bonus, players waiting for Early Bird Rights in this way have the right to veto trades for a year. 这是会让 Monk 带来大量收入的薪水，而 Monk 还没有得到一份大合约。如果他在休赛期 的首要任务是最大化收益高於一切，那麽湖人队可能就不走运了。不过如果他在洛杉矶过 得很开心，并且想长期穿紫金战袍，那麽如果他有耐心，他就有办法做到这一点。 这也 不是一条无前例的道路。Bobby Portis 采取了非常相似的方式，在这个休赛期留在了密 尔沃基公鹿队。Nic Batum 将他的非鸟加薪20%留在快艇队，但和 Portis 一样，他将有 机会在休赛期通过早鸟合约。作为额外的奖励，以这种方式等待早鸟权的球员在一年内有 交易否决权。 But if someone offers Monk the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception, the Lakers will have almost no recourse to match that offer. So long as LeBron James and Anthony Davis remain on the roster, it would be impractical for them to operate below the salary cap even if they could trade Russell Westbrook away and create the necessary space. One long shot that would be more trouble than it's worth would be to convince Westbrook to opt-out of his contract and re-sign a longer-term extension with a lower salary next season. If his cap number dips low enough, the Lakers could potentially create enough flexibility to use the heftier non-taxpayer mid-level exception themselves and offer Monk that same deal in the $45 million range right away. This, of course, would be a bad idea because it would mean committing multiple seasons to Westbrook. 但如果有人向 Monk 提供全额中产，湖人队几乎无计可施。 只要 LeBron James 和 Anthony Davis 留在阵容里，即使他们可以交易 Russell Westbrook 并创造必要的薪资 空间，他们面对薪资上限也动弹不得。 说服 Russell Westbrook 选择换约并在下个赛季 以较低的薪水重新签下一份更长期的续约，这将比它的价值更麻烦。 如果他的薪资数字 够低，湖人队可能会创造足够的薪资空间灵活性来自己使用更重要的全额中产，并立即以 4年/4500万美元的向蒙克提供全额中产。 当然，这不是一个好主意，因为这意味着要让 Westbrook 在湖人待更久。 In the end, that is going to put the ball in Monk's court. If he wants to be a Laker, there is a way for him to stay put and position himself for a fair contract down the line. He'd just have to be patient enough to wait out that extra year in order to get it. 最後这取决於 Monk 真正的想法。 如果他想长留湖人并为为自己安排一份公平的合约。 他需要有足够的耐心等待额外的一年才能实现。 ------------------------ 实际上还是取决於季後自由球员市场状况 不过现在的NBA对於使用薪资空间有个正在转变的趋向 就是会将重要薪资部位放在可攻可守的锋线球员>後场球员 如果要花薪资在後场球员，除了要年轻之外，还要有三分线以及基本的攻守水准 而且 Monk 实际上重签不需要签满4年，他有2-4年长度的选项 这对他来说更有弹性，但最终还是取决於 Monk 与他的经纪人判断~ --
